The red flower treatments are referred to as "rituals" and are unlike any other we offer. They are intended to more directly connect to a full sensory experience. The entire individual is attended to and enveloped in the scents and textures of the oils and creams crafted with all-natural ingredients culled from ancient beauty and health rituals from Asia to Africa.
The red flower treatments are only offered at a handful of spas across the country given that the products are painstakingly made by hand in limited batches. Some of the red flower products are also for sale in our foyer for use between treatments. We are pleased to be able to offer our clients and guests the opportunity to take part in this one-of-a-kind experience, the red flower Ritual.
Japan
This ritual is a meditative and purifying treatment designed to revitalize, care for, and soften the whole person.
* This ritual begins with kinmoxei wild lime silk oil. The therapist begins a hand massage and gently compresses the sacrum to stretch the lower back, helping the body feel more grounded.
* To stimulate blood flow, energize, and firm, an ohana gingergrass bamboo scrub is applied to the body and washed off with luxurious hot towel compresses.
* At this time, the therapist will leave the room and the guest is invited to rise to a warming shower using a small bowl of yuzu mimosa algae wash. This physical act of cleansing aids in the process of emotional cleansing and values caring for the whole person.
* The body is cleansed, ready to rest on the table for a nourishing and softening rice buff. The wild cherry blossom rice buff is gently pressed over skin, releasing the nutritive blend of rice bran, cherry blossom, and wild cherry. The therapist will move the body in circular motions, directly and generously adding nutrients to the skin.
* To open the skin's glow and replenish the body, a rose camellia plum soft water mist is misted over the body.
