Jewel of a Massage
A twist on the popular Hot Stone Massage, the Nidah Spa’s Turquoise Gem Stone Therapy draws on the culture, traditions and ingredients found in the New Mexico region. Using the cooling effects of the popular Native American stone known as a source of protection and a bestower of power, the one-of-a-kind gemstone treatment uses light, rhythmic and sequential massage movements to bring the nervous system into a state of bliss and begins with warm desert sage oil drizzled from scalp to feet followed by a massage with warm black stones. Once the body is in a complete state of serenity, cool turquoise stones are strategically placed throughout four of the body’s chakras or energy points – throat, stomach, forehead and heart – offering a variety healing properties such as improving communication (throat), a feeling of inner peace (heart) and calming emotions (stomach).
Priced at $125 for a 50- minute treatment, the bejeweled massage offers a sense of calm and relaxation with the use of turquoise, an excellent healing stone honored by Native Americans for its versatility.
