| A NON-BROOM CUPBOARD LIKE ROOM |
 |
| A HEALTHY BREW |
Things
that make a good massage. A room bigger than a broom cupboard. A warm room.
Soft and fluffy towels. Relaxing music that’s not Enya. Oils that don’t smell synthetic. I’m happy to say all of these were massively boxed ticked at the
Aveda Institute Salon and Spa in Covent Garden
where I had booked in for an Elemental Natural full body massage. But what
really swung it for me was my spa therapists, Isar’s feet. Many times I have
lain on my front with my head poking through the face hole only to be
confronted with shabby feet. Isar’s were immaculate. Her flip flopped
feet were buffed and polished whereupon I knew who ever looked after their feet
this good, will look after me too!

| SOLE-FUL FEET |
Fittingly,
the massage started off with a foot soak and scrub (along with a herbal tea)
whereupon I was blissfully massaged for an hour. Blissful to me is a firm
deep tissue massage, and that’s exactly what I got. It’s customised too. Isar
felt knots in my shoulders so duly spent more time trying to loosen them. It’s
hard to say what makes a good massage, as a firm pressure for one can be too
light for another, but the laying of confident hands is a good sign and I knew
from the first touch, Isar’s skills came from within. There are some therapists
that appear to go through the motions, but without sounding too plinky plonky,
this was a massage that came from the soul – or should I say sole?
