A restorative head to toe treatment that smooths skin and eases tension. The Body Ritual layers body brushing, a skin-quenching mask, warm mitt removal with aromatherapy and unhurried massage. You leave with softer skin, easier movement and a quieter mind.

More information

What's Included

A structured, full-body treatment for comfort, results and deep relaxation.

  • Dry brushing to lift dullness and prep the skin.
  • Body mask applied front and back for hydration and glow.
  • Slow scalp and face massage to soften head tension.
  • Warm mitt removal with an essential oil blend.
  • Front-of-body then back-of-body massage, with pressure adjusted to you.

Who It's For

Good for anyone carrying stress in the neck, shoulders or lower back, or noticing dull, rough or dry skin. Ideal if you want a full reset without fuss and prefer clear, simple steps.

Suitable for all genders and most skin types. If you are pregnant, have circulatory issues, active skin conditions or recent injuries, please ask for guidance so we can adapt the treatment.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The Body Ritual lasts 75 minutes. This includes a short consultation and time to get settled.

Please arrive a few minutes early. If you prefer lighter or firmer pressure, tell your therapist at the start so we can tailor the massage.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Drink water after your treatment and take the rest of the day gently. Avoid very hot baths, sauna, heavy exercise and alcohol for 24 hours.

Your skin has been exfoliated and treated, so skip additional scrubs for 48 hours. Moisturise that evening and over the next few days to lock in softness.

Planning a spray tan or an event? Book this ritual 24 to 48 hours beforehand, and avoid heavy oils on the day of your tan for best adherence.

Most clients rebook every 4 to 6 weeks for ongoing results. If you have a high-stress job or train regularly, a fortnightly session can help maintain comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during The Body Ritual?
You begin with gentle dry brushing and a nourishing body mask applied front and back. While the mask works, we ease the scalp and face. Warm mitts remove the mask with a light aromatherapy cleanse, then a flowing massage treats the front and back of the body.
What should I wear and will I be covered?
Undress to your comfort level; underwear can stay on. You will be professionally draped with towels throughout, with only the area being treated uncovered.
Do I need a patch test for this treatment?
No patch test is required. Please tell us about allergies, pregnancy or sensitivities so we can choose suitable oils and adjust pressure.
Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Yes, after the first trimester and if you feel well. We adapt positioning and avoid essential oils not recommended in pregnancy; pressure is gentle and areas are avoided as needed.
How often should I book and will it help tight muscles?
Monthly works well for relaxation and skin smoothing. The massage eases general tension in the back, neck and legs, though it is not a deep tissue treatment.
