total relaxation. Your massage will be tailored to the way you like it; be sure
to let us know the level of pressure you prefer. Choose your oil from their
three
Chiva-Som Signature blends designed to suit every need of the mind or body.
Chiva-Som Skin Haven Facial
Their most popular facial, this facial is not only restful and balancing, it
combines wonderful Thai herbs and floral essences together to create a very
refreshing, cleansing, healing, and hydrating treatment. Protecting and
strengthening the skin with anti-oxidants and extracts such as gotu-kola for
deeply penetrating hydration; your natural defence against damaging freeradicals.
You will feel relaxed and renewed.
Chiva-Som Spa Haven Body Cleansing Cocoon
The Aromatic Coffee Body Polish will entice any gourmand or coffee lover as it
exfoliates and stimulates circulation. A choice of Purity or Zing oil for the
massage will hasten the removal of toxins and boost the lymphatic system. A Bon
Voyage Cellulite will be used during the cocoon process to firm and tone. This
stimulating and detoxifying treatment is for those particularly concerned with
cellulite and fluid retention and is great for relieving heavy legs or
sluggishness post-flight. It is also a wonderful accelerator for anyone on
Chiva-Som�s cleansing diet.
Chiva-Som Signature Deep Hand Massage
Our hands are used a lot in the modern world. With clicking, driving, messaging,
and writing, our hands are used and often over-used on a daily basis. Their
hands connect us to our head; reaching for this or that to get the job done.
This deep hand massage is designed to thoroughly release tension that
accumulates in the hands and arms from the daily tasks they use them for.
Working the major channels/meridians of the arms first, reflex points in the
hands are then worked to release deep tension. This treatment is both a medical
and a pampering treatment.
Chiva-Som Signature Herbal Massage
Energise yourself by experiencing their new signature herbal massage which
consists of a combination of deep pressure techniques and heated fresh Thai
herbal packs, together with your choice of 100% natural Chiva-Som signature
massage oils.
The treatment begins with the herbal packs to warm your muscles, then the
therapist works gently and firmly using their forearms, elbows and thumbs to
relieve tension in all parts of the body. It is beneficial especially to the
muscles of the legs, back, neck and shoulders.
