The chocolate wrap is a unique, sensitive and energetic experience.

Cocoa butter has a very powerful function, as it has emollient, nourishing, moisturizing, protective and soothing properties for the skin.

Hot Stone Massage

To be taken away to a truly peaceful mental and physical space, try a 50-minute hot stone massage, which is designed to ease tense muscles and restore damaged soft tissues throughout your body. Soft, natural stones (usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat) are heated and combined with therapeutic essential oils that eliminate tension and provide maximum relaxation for the body, mind and soul.
