This organic mud wrap is enhanced with finely ground coffee Arabica to gently exfoliate, Indian tobacco to cleanse and draw out impurities and sarsaparilla, an anti-inflammatory herb, to clarify skin, plus shea butter to seal in moisture. You will leave feeling soft, supple, and truly refreshed.

Star Therapist: Ask for Lauren. She has the gift of turning your overworked under joyed body into transcendent instant ahhhhhhh.

Lomilomi Massage

This Hawaiian massage connects the heart, mind, body and soul. It’s sacred healing art, is passed down from generation to generation, utilizing rhythmic strokes that use forearms and elbows.
