CERF ISLAND'S SIGNATURE MASSAGE
Engage all your senses as this massage is uniquely designed to detoxify at the elemental level, relax muscles at the structural level and most importantly soothe the mind at the emotional level. Incorporating movements from Swedish, Indian Abhyanga, Lymphatic Drainage, Acupressure, Shiatsu and Thai Massages, this treatment will leave your body and soul in total harmony.
TRADITIONAL ROYAL THAI MASSAGE
A powerful traditional Thai Massage inherited from the country of Siam, developed in the Buddhist monasteries as a part of their healthcare. It is one of the most effective and important muscle treatments to relieve aches and pain. Nearly 2,500 years old, the art of Thai massage involves stroking and thumb pressure applied along energy lines to clear blocked energy channels, resulting in increased flexibility and mobility for the body, and clarity for the mind. The result is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing.
HOT STONE THERAPY MASSAGE
Deeply soothing, relaxing full body massage that uses smooth, heated volcanic basalt stones. Stimulating both the sedative and re-energizing responses of the body, this treatment juxtaposes warmth, coolness vibrations and sound through the application of the stone to the body. They are electromagnetic and carry the energy of the earth and of the water in which they were found. They act as magnets drawing out toxins from the body and balancing out the positive and negative ions in every cell. They increase circulation and lymph flow, allowing nutrition to take place within the stimulated areas and facilitating the therapists work by allowing her to go deeper. The weight of the stones additionally makes the person feel grounded, reassured and nurtured.
ACU-POINT REFLEXOLOGY MASSAGE
Reflexology is a holistic treatment that works with the energy of life and the hands and feet are seen as microcosms or miniatures of the body. Acu-point Reflexology Massage is done through pressure application to the reflex areas on each foot. Reflexology touches on the 7200 nerve endings that correspond to various glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology has been shown to be effective for back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, digestive disorders, stress-related conditions and more. Our reflexology massage will improve circulation and promote restoration of the bodies' natural state of equilibrium through an intense pressure-point massage.
