Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage Therapy has been used in many different cultures and dates back to 1500BC, during which the Native American Indians and Europeans used it. The healers used rocks from the riverbeds and warmed them either in hot coals or hot water.

The native Americans Indians used hot stones to detoxify and to find harmony and balance. In some European cultures, hot stones or bricks were wrapped in cloth and placed over a person’s injury for relief. In China hot stone therapy was used as a method for relieving muscle aches and tension.

Hot Stone Massage today uses soothing oils and warm basalt stones, which are then placed on specific key areas of the body to relax muscles, allowing for a deeper and more intensive all over body massage.

The size of the stones varies according to which part of the body they are being used on. These stones are pre-heated in a water bath before application. The direct heat of the stones relaxes the muscles, meaning that the massage itself is more effective and intense than it would otherwise be. The treatment promotes relaxation and helps to open up your energy pathways.

Harley Body Wraps

How a body wrap helps inch loss

Harley body wraps are not and are not intended to be, a weight loss process! It is important to understand this. With the Aloe Vera and the warmth of the bandages, the skin pores are opened which allows the treatment to penetrate the skins layers. This reaches the connective tissues below that hold subcutaneous fat cells. It is these fat cells that have become saturated with water, impurities and toxins which gives the skin its current appearance. The Aloe Vera and additional ingredients then help break down and cleanse these toxins from the tissues by flushing through our natural waste system. With the removal of toxins, it is now possible for the body’s natural elastin (an elastic connective tissue) to hold the new re-sculptured body shape.

Your wrap is an excellent boost if you have been dieting too, as the process has an amazing benefit of tightening the skin. All body wraps contain added skin softeners which leave your skin feeling very clean and wonderfully soft. If you feel you would like a shower after a body wrap, please leave it about 6 hours after your treatment.

You will be wrapped for 1 hour and during this time the formula gets to work on helping to break down toxins and impurities and the body’s natural waste system helps to carry them away. This detoxification process can be greatly enhanced if you drink lots of extra water after your Harley Body Wrap.

We also utilize special wrapping techniques to help lift the buttocks and breasts, flatten bulges on the thighs, scoop in the stomach, cut in a waistline and tigten the skin overall. With the toxins removed, it allows the body’s natural elastin to subsequently hold its new shape. This is what gives the Body Wrap its inch loss properties which really do work. Like all de-tox treatments you will achieve the maximum benefit after a course of three treatments (with optional maintenance treatments thereafter)

What is Aloe Vera?

An extract from a desert plant of the same name. Its use has a very long history dating back some 3500 years for both beauty and medical purposes. Aloe Vera is a very pure, safe and versatile plant extract. As you may be aware, it is already widely used in shampoos, conditioners and creams. A minimum of 55% Aloe should be used in such preparations to be effective. Aloe Vera can even be consumed as a health drink.

Aloe Vera plant

Aloe Vera looks like a cactus, but in fact it belongs to the lily family that blooms annually. It is evergreen in colour on the outside, but is a clear substance inside. The leaves grow to about 30 inches in length in a rosette pattern.

Around the world, this rich plant grows wild in tropical and sub-tropical regions. There are 360 species of Aloe, but only six are use for commercial purposes. It takes three to four years for each plant to mature before its leaves can be harvested. Inside each mature leaf lies a gel that will quickly spoil unless refrigerated. It takes experience to harvest the gel from the leaves because they are extremely delicate. Commercial processors either strip the skin by machine or by hand, a process called filleting. The fillets are ground and filtered to remove the fibres. To keep its potency, a preservative is added to the gel. The Harley Body Wraps we use contain only the bio-active gels for the best results.
