For a gentler, more soulful
unconventional to deep tissue massages, try the Master Therapist Experience at
Bangkok’s Banyan Tree Spa. The 90-minute body massage is a sprightly ballet of
touch specially tailored using a range of massage techniques and tools, that
will leave you feeling more related to your inner being and emotions.
When
you arrive at the Banyan Tree Bangkok, you know it’s a beautiful property
blending Thai inspired decor with modern comforts. A warm welcome greets you
and it’s not long before you are whisked away to your accommodation especially if you are a club lounge guest, you can
lose yourself out here for an hour, a day, a week or more with its many
recreation and dining options….I decide to recharge myself after a sleepless
night of flying and get ready for the next few days of holidaying!
MASTER THERAPIST EXPERIENCE
The
Therapist first takes time to understand my profile before customizing a package
best suited to meet my needs. The calming effect of the spa envelopes me from
the moment I enter the scented chamber done up in rich tones of green, brown,
red and off white. Sipping my chamomile tea in a bathrobe, I can feel my
tension dissolve as a petite Thai masseuse soaks my feet in warm water and
massages my calves with an exfoliating lime.
The
masseuse begins with the soothing bundle of heat on my muscles in anti-clockwise
circular massage strokes. The signature massage of the award winning
spa (It came in first in the Top 25 International Spas on the US
Celebrated Living Readers’ Choice Platinum List) encompasses smooth, recurring
movements that syndicate the methods of palming, effleurage and kneading to
relax and soothe me. These techniques uplift my senses and ease muscle tension,
leaving me fully invigorated.
With
the healing benefits of customized essential oil, the experience puts me in
harmony and balance. The body is calmed, realigned and rested. Trust me, these
different strokes are definite to put even the most obstinate insomniacs into a
peaceful snooze, a reason why this massage is chiefly useful for those who find
it hard to shut eye. Then after some steam and sauna I soak in the goodness of
an uplifting Ginger Bath and stepped out with glowing skin. Refreshed, I
nibble on Thai fruits and walnuts and leave the spa feeling pampered, healed
and happy. Ah, the exquisite lightness of being and the excitement of the next
few days of more such experiences with mommy!
