Massage and Spa Treatments

Body Talk: Incorporates a unique method of linking the organs, endocrine glands, body parts and energy systems to re-establish synchronicity within the body-mind complex. Body Talk creates a situation of balance in the body-mind to rapidly eliminate viruses and infections and harmonize emotional disorders. Profound results can be realized in one session.

Holistic Massage: A blend of different techniques to relax the body and mind. A whole massage from head to toe, relieves stress, increases blood circulation and soothes tired muscles. Specific areas of tension are worked on giving you an experience of absolute well- being. Your soul will be grateful too!

Aromatherapy Massage: Holistic massage accompanied by custom blended aromatherapy massage oil and essential oil diffusion.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: A delicate massage done to stimulate the lymphatic system and to assist in the removal of toxins and wastes from the body. Though the massage itself is very gentle, it works on a very profound level to help the body detoxify.

Costa Rican Stone Massage: Warm stones are placed on the charkas and energy centers of the body during your massage to promote deep relaxation and healing. The stones, highly valued for their healing properties, are used to work specific areas of tension and stress as well. The technique for this treatment is based on the teachings of Native Americans who relied on warm stones to help heal the body.

Rose Petal Massage: Lying on the petals of freshly picked roses, grown here in the gardens of Pura Vida, your body is massaged with organic rose essential oil, the oil of the heart, which nourishes and refreshes both the body and soul. A gentle powder, including ground roses and talmus root, is then dusted on the body to ensure the therapeutic benefits of the rose oil are completely absorbed.

Deep Tissue Massage: Experience a deep relaxation as not only the muscles but also the connective tissue is worked and deeply ingrained tension is released. Using rocking motion along the spine the entire body enjoys a feeling of renewal and regeneration.

OM CHO Massage: This ancient healing technique is traditionally only transmitted to blind therapists. This subtle yet powerful work enables not only physical but also emotional and mental transformation.

Ancient Thai Massage: A combination of Yoga stretches, acupressure points, joint rotations and muscle massage. All of this is done in a soft and rhythmic movement technique to enable a deep journey into ones essential self and a total sense of renewal.

Golden Glow: Combines natural oils and custom-blended essential oils with healing salts rich in trace minerals to nourish and exfoliate the skin; helps the body detoxify and stimulates the circulatory system. The mixture is applied in massage-style strokes leaving your skin velvety soft and “glowing”.

Facial: Treat your face to a rejuvenating and healing process using exacting massage techniques and exfoliation combined with gentle natural products.

Cloud Forest Mist: Envelope yourself in a healing and detoxifying mist. The therapeutic benefits of steam therapy are extremely healing and, with the addition of carefully blended and selected essential oils, your immune system not only is strengthened but a deep rejuvenation has begun

Pranic Healing: A hands-off treatment of the client’s energetic fields, in which the breath is used to promote Chi (life energy) and to unblock interferences in the energy flow. It cleanses the charkas and the aura, dissolving pain in the body and balances on emotional, mental and physical levels.

Reflexology: The therapist presses on “reflex points” along the foot to relieve symptoms elsewhere on the body. This technique can alleviate a wide variety of problems, including headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain.

Reiki: The practitioner transfers universal energy by placing their hands on or above parts of the body. The Reiki energy facilitates the healing process by assisting in the removal of blockages and negative energy.

Spa Manicure: Treat your hands to a manicure, leaving them feeling wonderful and looking fantastic. By using all natural products and exfoliates, your hands are rejuvenated and not only feel, but also look like new.

Spa Pedicure: Naturally uplift your heart and soles with a Pura Vida spa pedicure. Relax and unwind as your feet are treated to a foot massage and exfoliating treatment. Enjoy having your feet totally pampered.
