Shila Abhyanga Back to Top
90-min. $130
In Sanskrit, ‘shila’ means stone, ‘abhy’ means to rub and ‘anga’ means limb. Together, they form the Sanskrit word for stone massage. Heated stone massage is a form of thermotherapy. Shila Abyhanga dates back thousands of years and can be traced to the ancient healing traditions of almost every culture.
Warm, smooth river stones are held in the therapist's hands during the massage to melt away tension and stress. Warmth from the stones eases muscle stiffness, encourages the exchange of blood and lymph circulation throughout the body, and prepares the muscles and fascia for deep-tissue work. Note: Healing stones are contraindicated for prenatal massage.

This is a warm-oil massage given by two specially-trained therapists who work in tandem on both sides of the body.

Reflexology Back to Top
45-minutes $60
Sometimes referred to as a massage, but it is not a massage in the typical sense of the word. Massage involves applying pressure over large sections of the body to target the muscular and circulatory systems.

It can target not only the main body systems that massage affects but also specific organs, like the liver, bladder and kidneys. This treatment includes: foot cleansing, reflexology on the ears, hands, and feet, and massage to those areas.
Consider adding the Eye Vacation, Holistic Aromatherapy, Seasonal Brown Sugar Scrub, or the Mango Butter for Hands & Feet from the ala cart treatments to complete your healing experience.
Ad-ons: Holistic Aromatherapy Back to Top
$10
Ayurveda is based on the idea that the entire universe is composed of five elements and that three of these elements – Vata (Air), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Earth & Water) control the body. These elements have to be in balance for the body to be healthy. When out of balance, there is dis-ease or what is otherwise called ‘dosha’. Ayurveda uses essential oils to treat the Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. This can be done by inhaling and massaging specific essential oils into the skin to balance the particular dosha. This is a quick way to heal stress and dis-ease as the aroma instantly starts working with the brain. You will take an evaluation to determine your current dosha and which essential oils will be used during your healing session.

Are your hands and feet dry, cracked and feeling thirsty? Try the mango butter with refreshing citrus. This is a nutrient-dense cream used to hydrate the skin. It contains emollients from the rich nut oils inside the seeds. These little moisture beads wrap the skin in a blanket of pure moisture that lasts longer than your average lotion. They form a protective barrier over the skin to hold in moisture. After the treatment, many people notice that their skin is remarkably soft. It provides a feast for the senses - while it soothes and hydrates your skin.

15-min. Reiki Session Back to Top
$15
Add on a 15-minute Reiki Session to your Massage. This will be a good way to introduce yourself to the experience of Reiki. “Reiki is a Japanese technique of relaxation that works similarly to acupuncture, in that you are releasing and moving energy,” explains Donna Audia, R.N., a nurse on Shock Trauma’s pain management team and a certified Reiki master. “By using Reiki with trauma patients, we are not only helping them to relax, we’re also making them active participants in their own healing, and that can be very empowering.” Read the entire article.
15-min. Reflexology Back to Top
$15
Add a 15-minute Reflexology foot therapy to your massage or Reiki session. Reflexology is a non-invasive integrative modality.
