Services
Ganban-yoku Therapy
Ganban-yoku uses heated volcanic stones to deliver Far-Infrared Rays that detoxify the body while promoting deep relaxation. This ancient Japanese practice improves circulation, aids digestion, and burns 200-600 calories per session. Clients experience enhanced sleep quality and reduced joint pain through our communal and private stone bed options.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu applies Japanese acupressure techniques to relieve chronic pain and stress. Our master practitioners use stretching and pressure point therapy to improve energy flow, alleviate migraines, and reduce muscle tension. This treatment combines seamlessly with thermal therapy for amplified wellness benefits.
Reflexology
Foot and hand reflexology stimulates energy points to balance bodily systems. When combined with Ganban-yoku heat therapy, it enhances detoxification and organ function. Our registered practitioners offer 45-60 minute sessions that reduce stress and improve circulation through targeted pressure techniques.
Japanese Aroma Massage
This treatment blends Japanese massage techniques with organic essential oils for holistic wellness. Customizable scents like Forest Bathing and Japanese Garden promote relaxation while improving skin health. Available in 60-90 minute sessions with options for private suite experiences.
Anti-Cellulite Treatment
Combining European and Japanese techniques, this treatment targets cellulite through bamboo massage and light therapy. The process stimulates lymph flow to remove toxins while improving skin elasticity. Sessions range from 60-90 minutes with options to combine with thermal therapy packages.
