120 min · Deep Tissue, Hot Stones and Thai Herbal Compress, our finest treatments woven together into 2 unforgettable hours. This is the most luxurious way to experience Tara Spa, and it begins the moment you step through the door. then sink back as your feet are soothed in a warm salt soak and gently scrubbed, leaving the rush of the day behind you. On the table, your therapist gently warms you through before beginning deep tissue work across the back, neck and shoulders, slow, purposeful and always at the pressure you love. Then comes the warmth. Compresses filled with Thai herbs are steamed until beautifully warm, then rolled and pressed along tired muscles, releasing their earthy scent as the heat soaks deep. Smooth heated stones follow, gliding through every knot and resting where you need them most, until your whole body feels heavy, warm and completely at ease. Your legs and feet then receive the same unhurried deep tissue care, easing away every last trace of tension, before we finish with a tender head massage that lets your mind drift into stillness. Wrapped in warm towels, you are given a quiet moment to simply be, before you step back out into the world feeling lighter, looser and utterly renewed. 2 hours. Every detail considered. The treat you will be talking about for weeks.

30 min · A focused 30 minutes dedicated entirely to your back. Your therapist warms the muscles first, then works with deep, steady pressure into the tight bands and knots along the spine, lower back and shoulder blades, easing the aches that come from desk work, driving or lifting. We adjust the pressure to what feels right for you, so it is effective without ever feeling uncomfortable. Ideal when you are short on time but need real relief, and lovely to book regularly alongside a longer treatment.

30 min · Pure bliss for tired feet. You stay comfortably seated while we work the feet, ankles and lower legs with warm oil, using firm thumb pressure on the reflex points of the soles along with soothing strokes and gentle stretches of the toes and ankles. It is surprisingly relaxing for the whole body, not just the feet, and you walk out feeling lighter with every step. A favourite with anyone who spends the day on their feet.

30 min · 30 minutes to melt away desk and screen tension. You stay seated while your therapist releases the tops of the shoulders and upper back, then works carefully along the neck, easing the stiffness that builds up from long days at a computer or behind the wheel. We finish with a gentle scalp massage that leaves your mind clear and calm. The perfect lunch break reset, or a little moment of peace in a busy day.

60 min · An hour of warm oil and smooth, unhurried strokes, made purely for relaxation. The pressure stays light to medium, so there is nothing to brace against, just steady warmth and rhythm. We begin by warming the whole body, then ease from the legs up through the back and shoulders, before finishing with a lovely head massage. You will leave feeling loose, calm and as if the week has been gently lifted off your shoulders. A wonderful introduction to Tara Spa.

60 min · A firm, invigorating hour that sits close to deep tissue, with lots more assisted stretching to free up the hips, back and shoulders. Oil or no oil, it's your choice. Once you are warmed up, your therapist works the back, shoulders and neck, then the legs and feet, with steady pressure and stretches that leave you standing taller and feeling more flexible. A gentle head massage finishes things off beautifully. Brilliant if you feel stiff from sitting, driving or training and want to move freely again.

60 min · Slow, firm and targeted, for the aches lighter massage cannot reach. After warming you through, your therapist starts at the legs and works into the deeper layers of muscle, focusing on the knots and problem areas you tell us about, usually the back, neck and shoulders. We keep talking with you about pressure, so it is always strong but never too much. A relaxing head massage brings the hour to a close, and you leave feeling looser, lighter and properly worked on. Ideal for stubborn tension, sports recovery or long standing tightness.

60 min · Our relaxing warm oil massage, made with beautifully scented aromatherapy oils. The fragrance fills the room as soon as you settle in, and every slow, flowing stroke helps your breathing ease and your shoulders drop. After a soft warm up, your therapist works gently from the legs upwards at a light to medium pressure, then closes with a calming head massage. An hour of pure unwinding, and the one to book when your mind simply will not switch off.

60 min · Smooth heated basalt stones and warm oil, glided through the muscles and rested where you hold tension, so the warmth sinks in and tightness melts away without heavy pressure. It is the most comforting hour you can give yourself when you feel tense but would rather have warmth than firm work. After a gentle warm up, the stones travel up from the legs, settling the back and shoulders, before your therapist finishes with a soft head massage by hand. You will feel warm right through, calm and wonderfully relaxed.

90 min · Hot Stones, a relaxing oil massage and a head massage, all brought together in 90 gentle minutes. It is our softest ritual, made purely for relaxation, with no deep or strong pressure at any point. Your therapist starts by warming you through, then smooth hot stones and long, flowing oil strokes rise from the legs, wrapping your muscles in heat and letting tension simply melt. As the treatment draws to a close, a peaceful head massage helps your mind quieten as much as your body. A lovely choice for a first visit, or for anyone who just wants to feel cared for.
