About Spa Week. Beauty Massage and Organic Facial Treatments. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised how fast thoughts of my every day chaotic life escaped my mind. A feeling of serenity and peace increased with each step as I quietly climbed the stairs to the spa's loft space. Here, the dimly lit treatment rooms aren't divided by walls but by hanging fabric walls and each individual space is furnished with distressed furniture creating a relaxing Bohemian Pirates of the Caribbean ambiance.
A burning candle beside the massage table completes the rustic, restful feeling. This is a full body massage so it requires you to remove all jewelry and clothing except panties and lie face down under a sheet for privacy on a very comfortable massage table. The treatment itself lasted an hour and involved lots of different techniques and styles to deeply relax virtually every part of my body from head to toe. Designed to work on your most troublesome aches and pains, this customized massage is truly made-to-order and thorough and includes a wonderful oil massage.
It's also a great way to experiment with a variety of massage styles to discover what you enjoy most and of course includes some traditional Thai massaging, an ancient treatment more than 2, years old. I couldn't imagine feeling any better than I already did. Then in walks Sidaphan, the facialist, to give an organic facial which was another first for me, and another high -- lacking for a better word to describe it.
This, too, was unlike other facials I've had before. From the start this highly customized treatment felt much more gentle to my skin and also to my sense of smell because there were no strong chemical or articial fumes to breathe in. Instead my first-ever pure organic facial intertwined a variety of mild Enessa brand organic skincare lotions and potions which are also available at the spa for purchase to take home.
These essential, all-natural essential oils and lotions are made with concentrated extracts of plants, flowers and herbs that contain nutrients, enzymes, minerals and antiseptic properties to revive and help repair the skin. How serene it felt after this complete detoxification treatment of my face, neck and upper shoulder areas. The fabulous mini massage that completed this treatment was simply icing on the cake! The Peaceful Finish No matter what service s you enjoy at The Raven, besides feeling radiant, this is what you have to look foward to after your treatment session has ended.
