Holistic Spa Treatments

As a holistic skin and body care therapist Saniye's work is about touch: for health, for happiness and for beauty. Saniye chooses the hands-on path to deeper relaxation, greater self-awareness and increased health. Touching reassures us, relaxes us and comforts us. Touch influences our ability to deal with stress and pain and even helps to fight off disease.

All healing facials and body treatments utilize essences distilled from aromatic plants for their therapeutic properties. These essential oils penetrate the skin and help restore proper function to any part of the body. Plants heal on an energetic level, working not only on the physical aspect of a person, but also on the mental, emotional and spiritual as well.

Hot Stone Massage
Sanivan's Hot Stone massage uses the warmth of the stones to deeply relax your entire body. Beyond the physical effects, it invites a dream-like state of awareness, allowing your body and mind to communicate in a stress-free manner. The hot stones increase blood flow, and the cold stones flush blood out, aiding circulation. The final application of hot stones returns fresh, nutrient-rich blood creating the most beneficial healing environment possible. Stones are also tapped directly on tight muscles to act as a type of ultrasound to release muscular knots and tension.

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage promotes wellness in many systems of the body, making it an excellent treatment to support general health. On the muscular level, massage works on to relax body tension and loosen sore joints. In the circulatory system, it promotes blood and lymphatic circulation. It also works on the mind-body connection level where it actualizes self-healing.

Shiatsu
Literally meaning "finger pressure," Shiatsu resembles acupuncture without the needles. The application of gentle pressure along meridians (specific pathways in the body) allows the body to restore its natural flow of energy, essencial to deep healing on all levels of being. You will experience a deep sense of peace and rejuvenation with each treatment.
