FAQ
Swedish (R400) uses flowing, medium pressure to relax you all over. Deep tissue (R500) uses firmer, slower pressure to work into tight, knotted muscles. If you mainly want to unwind, choose Swedish; if you have stubborn tension, choose deep tissue.
Please tell us if you're pregnant when you book. We recommend checking with your doctor or midwife first, and some treatments — like deep tissue — may not be suitable. We'll advise you on gentler options where appropriate.
Try the Head, Neck & Shoulder massage (20 min R200, 30 min R250) or the Back, Neck & Head massage (30 min R300, 60 min R400) for more time on the upper back.
A foot massage (20 min, R200) relaxes tired feet. Foot reflexology (20 min, R220) uses focused pressure on specific points of the feet and many people find it deeply relaxing.
