Treatments include....
Lomi' Lomi' (very popular) ~A beautifully flowing, ancient Hawaiian massage. A special massage technique performed above and below the body. Also known as 'loving hands' massage. The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body. Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example one arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and the other hand may be working on the opposite hip. This assists the recipient in totally relaxing as it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once. By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved.
Relaxation Full Body Massage ~ A smooth and flowing massage to reduce mind/body stresses. Very soothing and calming. Warmed oil infused with lavender aromatherapy, provides a devinely soothing, relaxing full body massage from head to toe. Complete with a nurturing, refreshing hot or cooling towel treatment.
Warm Bamboo Massage ~Using warmed bamboo canes with pre-warmed lavender infused oil provides a deeply relaxing massage treatment. This mode of massage promotes wellbeing, stimulates circulation and relieves tension and stress. The warm bamboo massage is fabulous for tense and taught muscles, especially suited to the hamstring, quads, back and neck muscles. As the bamboo canes come in different diameters, they are tailor made for specific muscles groups.
Deep Pressure Massage ~ Focusing on deeper muscle tissue. Elimination of knots, cording and tension. Spot work for isolated pain relief available for back, neck, arms, shoulders, legs, glutes and feet.
Hot Stone Therapy~ Basalt stones have been used for 5,000 years in China, Iran and by the native Americans. Stones are electromagnetic and carry the energy of the earth and water in which they were found. They act like magnets, drawing out toxins from the body and balancing out the positive and negative ions in every cell. Each basalt stone has a vibration and heartbeat in harmony with nature and relax the body meditatively. The weight of the stones will make you feel 'grounded', reassured and nurtured.
At the start of a hot stone therapy, smooth water-heated basalt stones are carefully applied to key points on the body. This direct heat relaxes the muscles, which means that the massage itself is more effective and intense than it would be otherwise. The size of the stones varies, according to which part of the body they're being used on. The stones are coated in a fragrant oil to increase your sense of relaxation and calm. When oil is smoothed gently onto the body, each stone in turn can be worked along by the therapist's hands.
Cupping ~ is a special treatment of Chinese traditional treasures of medicines. Cupping is very popular for its virtues and its simplicity, convenient handling, effective clinic treatment, obvious health care and no toxic side effect. Through the use of cups, Cupping makes the skin congest, blood stagnate and blister by adsorbing the cups on the positions owing to the negative intensity of pressure caused by removing the air in the cups through use of a vacuum or taking the air out, thus motivates the function of the channel, meridians or vessels in the cupping points and makes the blood and breath vigorous so as to serve the purpose of protecting and curing diseases. Cupping is also extremely effective in treating cellulite, the vacuum lifts trapped toxins and stagnant waste products from the tissue, resulting in a smoother and cosmetically enhanced skin texture.
Foot Massage ~ A very special, soothing and relaxing 30 minute foot massage. Your feet will be bathed in a pre-warmed foot spa infused with french lavender aromatherapy oil. Your feet will then be exfoliated with Himalayan rock salt, then pampered and massaged with rich and warm Jojoba oil infused with lavender and Bergamot essential oils, just devine!.
Facial Massage ~ With a nourishing avaocado oil, enriched with vitamins, massaged into your facial skin and neck with exquisite, flowing strokes. This massage can be incorporated into your relaxation or lomi` lomi` massage at no extra cost.
Air conditioning for warmer months and climatic heating system and pre-warmed massage table for the cooler months... for your comfort.

What an amazing talent this young woman is. I have sampled massages from all over the world and yet Anika impressed me with her unique technique and fabulous application. I would highly recommend Anika's massage therapy to anyone who is in need of leaving her delightful studio feeling ten years younger. Great work Anika. (Peter kalaidis)

Being a retired masseuse myself I am always interested in different techniques and therapies. As a Osteoarthritis sufferer I am constantly needing massage to keep the bones and body mobile. The Lomi Lomi massage that Anika performed relaxed my body quickly and I felt I was encapsulated in a warm cave, my senses seemed to peak and I was at complete peace. After the massage I felt very light and that feeling remained for days. The constant contact and repetitive wave like motion of the massage was relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Their was no need for immense pressure to achieve results. Anika is very welcoming and her studio is beautifully decorated to create a warm protective nurturing environment. I am very pleased with Anika and thankful that she has this magnificent gift of massage.

I have found Anika to be very intuitive, confident and thorough in her massage application. Anika understood what my body needed and was able to create an environment where I felt safe, comfortable and able to go into a deeply relaxed state. I am truly grateful for her skill and generosity and would strongly recommend her. Thanks Anika!
