If You Only Get One Service, This Might Be It.

Our soothing Chocolate Butter Cream

I can’t get over how different the lives of my women friends are than those of my mother’s circle.  An author of my acquaintance suggests that we can’t use the excuses that our parents did – we can’t get away with the same logic as we don’t live in that world.  So true.  My mom can’t get over what my life is like.  She is so glad she is not living it, and frankly, I get sick thinking I might end up in hers. My mom and I are great friends but we know this about one another.

Last summer, my mom got her first massage at the age of 76.  I’ve been doing massage professionally for 20 years, but she always politely declined.  So, why did she decide this was a good time to start? Well, she was no longer obligated to anyone, no longer had to justify her expenses to anyone, and, primarily, had some aches and pains she was damned tired of.  I am glad (and relieved) to say that the massage worked.

In the spirit of all those women who work hard and can’t imagine spending a nickel – let alone a whole hour – on themselves, Darcy, Jen and I put our heads together and asked, “What special and unusual thing do we do here that people need to try?”  And, how can we make it better, longer, and more affordable?  We came up with the Chocolate Wrap/Scrub.

Let me introduce our carefully concocted chocolate infused service, The Chocolate Scrub/Wrap. For the person who deserves it, needs it, and wants to make that time unforgettable.  After examining what makes the most enjoyable hour, 90 minutes or 2 hours of treatment, we decided that an introduction to heat therapy was in order.  Lie down with a rich Lindt Chocolate and allow your body to sink into a heated table, the chocolate to melt in your mouth.  The soft Italian sheets and sheep skin padding will swiftly allow your mind-body to ease and soak up all that we have prepared.  The skilled hands at Tsubo Massage will apply our Chocolate Scrub to all your dry winter skin and wrap you with a thermal blanket for you to rest and absorb the creamy butter.   After the wrap, a shower awaits and a fresh set of bedding is prepared for your Chocolate Butter Moisturizing massage. Total time 60 minutes.
For a more thorough experience we add a warm foaming fask mask and scalp massage. Allow the wrap to deepen it’s therapeutic potential, while the foaming mask lifts dirt and removes fluid build-up in the face.  Look younger and feel more like yourself.  The scalp massage is the topper to this rejuvenation, as it stimulates and soothes the most stressed muscles in the body.  Scalp massage can profoundly center and clear your mind.   This is an additional 30 minutes making the total service 90 minutes.

For the deluxe gift, a whole body explosion of chocolate and relaxation.  We include all of the above, but the Thick Chocolate Butter Cream massage becomes a full body deep tissue massage, whole service is 2 full hours.

The cost is $89 for the Chocolate Scrub/Wrap.

Add the Foaming Face Mask & Scalp Massage an additional 30 minutes at $119

To extend the moisturizing Chocolate Butter Cream into a full body deep tissue massage (ultimate 2 hour service) $149.00
