Aromastone – Hot Stone Massage Benefits

by

One of our most popular massage treatments at Woman Beauty in Nelson is our Aromastone hot stone massage. It’s a blissful head to toe spa treatment incorporating hot stones and essential oils.

But there’s more to this massage than relaxation. In this week’s post we thought we’d share some of the benefits you can expect from hot stone massage.

Three Benefits of Aromastone Hot Stone Massage

You can wave bye-bye to muscular pain:

Whenever you have a nagging, aching muscular pain, we don’t doubt that you’re tempted to pull out a wheat bag or hot water bottle. That’s because heat can help increase blood flow to a specific area and help muscles to relax. If you are suffering from aches due to overexertion, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia or any other non-inflammatory muscle pain, then the Aromastone Massage might just be your new best friend!

You can say ‘Sayonara’ to stress:

While any massage should reduce anxiety and help you relax. The comforting warmth of an Aromastone hot stone massage is particularly beneficial if you’re feeling stressed. There is no doubt that your brain will interpret a safe source of heat as reassuring and pleasant. In turn, this psychological reaction will help to switch off your fight or flight response, lowering your stress levels.

You can welcome sleep:

Sleep plays a vital role in your overall good health. Adequate sleep is essential in maintaining your body’s ability to function; just like eating, drinking and breathing. So if you’re finding it difficult to come by, you need to take steps. Again, any massage therapy will help to promote relaxation and sleep, but an Aromastone hot stone massage could be particularly beneficial. There’s a strong psychological link between being warm and being cosy. When we say goodnight to our babies and children, we will often swaddle them and reassure them that they’ll feel as snug as a bug in a rug because there is a link between cosiness and settling for sleep. Combine the warmth of our Aromastone hot stone massage with the calming effect of the essential oils, and we believe you’re pretty much guaranteed a good night’s rest!

This pampering wouldn’t be complete without adding a spa manicure and pedicure then enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. The perfect gift to add to your Christmas wishlist! We reopen on Monday 7th January, so book your New Year treat to yourself, today!

How to relax in Nelson

by

15th August marks a significant date on the International calendar… It’s Relaxation Day!

As you can imagine, at Woman Beauty in Nelson we’re delighted that there’s a day dedicated to relaxation, but we believe that you should be able to relax far more frequently than once every twelve months! To that end, we’ve decided to share five ways that you can relax in Nelson at any time of year!

Relax Nelson

How to relax in Nelson.
  • The fragrance of flowers – We’re blessed with our beautiful reserves and parks in Nelson, and you will always find something in bloom to satisfy the senses. When was the last time you took a wander through Queens Gardens or Miyazu Gardens? Pop it on your relaxation register!
  • Smell the coffee – If there’s one thing we’re not short of in Nelson, it’s delightful coffee shops. The simple smell of coffee can help reduce stress hormones, but we prefer to drink it! #loveyourlocalcoffeeshop
  • Head to the beach – Being close to the water has always been considered a perfect way to find calmness and clarity. You don’t need to venture too far from the city to find yourself a quiet spot at the beach.
  • Enjoy some exercise – Pick your pastime and get those endorphins pumping. From swimming to SUP, and biking to trail running, there’s a huge adventure playground on our doorstep.
  • Walk into Woman Beauty – Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquillity and calm. So book a massage or spa treatment and discover what it feels like to be truly relaxed!

Five spa treatments to give you the warm fuzzies…

  • Massage starts with Mmmmm:

    A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment utilises hot stones. Buy yours here.

Buy yours here.

  • Indulge yourself:

    At the end of a cold winter’s day, it’s tempting to relax in a warm bath. We don’t think you should have to wait until the end of the day! Instead, indulge in a hydrotherapy bath at Woman Beauty Nelson. After this, you’ll receive a full body massage, before finishing with a spa facial and taking time out in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

    Spa treatments can be like a mini break! Take half a day to pretend you are on holiday. Start with the signature Tropical Paradise Ritual.

After this enjoy time out with a complimentary refreshment in the relax lounge. Buy yours here.

  • Do it with a friend 😉:

    Enjoy our seasonal special this winter! This Couple Retreat is designed to be enjoyed with your partner or bestie. We’ll start you off with a warm foot soak using Pure Fiji bath soak. This is followed by a sugar scrub and a relaxing full body massage. Buy yours here; the special price is for two people.

 

 

Beauty treatments in Nelson – Winter’s most wanted!

by

Winter is here and with that comes the desire to rug up and enter hibernation mode. For some, that means an excuse to ease up on essential body maintenance, although that’s not a course we’d recommend… If you let that fuzz run free as temperatures freeze, you’ll find it harder to take back control in springtime. In honour of cooler temperatures, we thought we’d share some of winter’s most wanted beauty treatments.

beauty treatments nelson

  • Let’s get warmed up – A massage is a perfect way to warm up in winter. For extra toastiness try the Aromastone Massage, this blissful head to toe spa treatment uses hot stones and essential oils. Buy yours here.
  • Saving face – Your skin receives no let-up from the harsh UV rays over winter, especially in beautiful Nelson where we still have bright sunny days during the cooler months. Add to this the drying effect of wind and the lack of humidity, and your skin can become dry, red, irritated, and lacklustre. Facials are popular beauty treatments all year round, but if you want to feel like you’ve managed a winter escape, try the Pure Fiji Island Facial. We’ll take you on a journey with an ancient blend of powerful plant actives and exotic drift nut oils combined with the latest in dermatological revelations, producing phenomenal targeted facial care solutions. Buy yours here.
  • Get your glow on – Heading to a special mid-winter event in your cocktail frock? Then make sure your skin shimmers with a Sunescape Spray Tan. This beautiful natural looking tan has no harmful chemicals and is available in light, medium and dark. Spray tans are great winter beauty treatments for a quick pick me up! Buy yours here.
  • Who’s looking at you baby – If you’re wrapped in merino from torso to toes… Make your peepers work for you! Our eyebrow and eyelash tinting and taming services are a great way to help frame your face. These beauty treatments are a must all year round! Buy yours here. Ask us to help you select your new Jane Iredale mineral makeup for eyes. The autumn and winter range is stunning, we can make your eyes pop with beautiful colours, or we can show you how to create sultry smoky eyes.

Five steps to a Happy New Year – Relax in Nelson

by

relax nelson2018 is here, and you might be back at work already, but that doesn’t mean that the time to relax should be over. Here are our five steps to help you on your way to a Happy New Year in Nelson.

  1. Indulge in a little luxury – Luxury doesn’t always have to be expensive. At Woman Beauty in Nelson, we believe that a luxury is simply a small pleasure that’s out of the ordinary. That could be a walk on your own, an afternoon sat reading a book, or a massage or facial that you wouldn’t normally make the time for. Whatever you consider life’s luxuries to be, make time for them in 2018.
  2. Treat yourself or somebody else – Did you know that we offer our loyal customers the chance to Grab-A-Treat most months? These tantalising offers are usually on sale for two days only, so if you snooze you lose. Sign up for our newsletter so we can send you email alerts, you’ll never miss the chance to treat yourself or somebody else again!
  3. Discover something new – Make 2018 the year you discover something new about yourself. A wise woman, (that’ll be Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City), once said, “I wasn’t searching for something or someone….I was searching for me.” It’s amazing how a little peace and tranquility can help you find yourself, and that’s something we can definitely help you with!
  4. Find Time… To be with friends! At Woman Beauty our new pedicure lounge can accommodate three people, and it’s a great excuse for a get together with girlfriends. We also have a selection of packages available for group bookings. Plus our couples room is the perfect place to escape with your bestie!
  5. Relax – It’s our mantra! At our Nelson Day Spa, we offer a range of packages to help you practice the art of relaxation, whether it is time alone or with someone special, our mini oasis will give you that well earned time out.

This Christmas – Stress Less & Relax More

by

It’s no secret that Christmas, and the run up to the holiday season can be a stress filled time… Even in sunny Nelson, there seems to be mounting pressure to turn into Wonder Woman and deliver perfect pressies, mouth-watering feasts and entertainment that would fill Netflix with green eyed envy.

Thankfully, here at Woman Beauty Day Spa, we’re masters of the art of relaxation… Our clients often say they feel their troubles melting away as soon as they walk through the door of our beautiful Nelson villa, and we do our best to foster a sense of tranquility and calm. So, with that in mind, we thought we’d share our three top tips to ensure that you stress less and relax more this Christmas season.

Christmas Stress

  • Book a massage – A massage can lower your heart rate, cortisol and insulin levels. Think you have to set aside a full morning or afternoon to fit in some Massage Manna? Think again! Our Neck Back and Shoulder Massage is a great tension reliever when time is limited. Set aside 30 minutes at the end of the day, and we’ll have you laid back and ready to face the demands of the family again!
  • Treat yourself to a facial – A good facial won’t just calm your skin, it will have a similar effect on your demeanour. The Essential Spa Facial includes a neck, back and shoulder massage, so you can supersize your stress buster!
  • Summer Special to beat stress – We’ve just released our summer specials, and to help you combat seasonal stress disorder, we’ve included the Full Body Retreat. A firm favourite every year. Enjoy a foot soak in Pure Fiji’s milk soak, followed by a sugar scrub and full body massage. Afterwards, take time in the relax lounge and enjoy a complimentary refreshment and chocolates… We won’t tell them you’re here!

We don’t close our doors until Saturday 23rd December at 4:00 p.m. and we reopen at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday 3rd January. So book now for your pre or post Christmas stress relieving treat!
