Who among us does not dream to “do nothing” for a while. Cut off your daily duties, tasks and phone caller. Time only for us, peace, pleasant smell, relaxing background music, rest. During this time, our mind and body receive a wonderful gift – massage.

1. Ms Natalia, what body treatments / massages are the most popular at J’adore Institute?

Natalia: My observations show that the choice of massage has something to do with the seasons. When it’s warm, relaxing, modeling and fruit body treatments are very popular. In the autumn and winter the hot stone massage and SPA body rituals using hot chocolate reign.

2. „SPA ritual for the body ”- the name itself sounds relaxing. What is the procedure like?

N.: Ritual is more than just a massage. It transports our senses to the land of fragrant pleasure, a soothing touch and pushes all worries away. This is confirmed by the words of our clients after the procedure: “I broke away from reality” or “I felt like in another world” – these are sentences that delight the ears of our “massage” staff.

During the SPA ritual, the body receives three massages. The first is combined with a body scrub to exfoliate, brighten and smooth the skin. Then a relaxing massage is performed using forearm massage techniques. It is characterized by slow, anti-stress and calming movements. The third massage is performed on a fruit mask (fragrance of your choice) or hot chocolate. We start and end the treatment with a gentle swinging of the whole body. It introduces our client to the blissful state even more. We can enrich the ritual with a wonderful addition, which is a hand treatment or facial massage.

3. What cosmetics are the treatments based on?

N.:We work on professional cosmetics, designed for massage with various fragrance notes. These are natural products because we care about the health and safety of our customers. It is very important for me what I massage on. The ingredients of a given preparation are also absorbed through my skin. That is why I am pleased that the products we use do not contain toxic compounds or unnecessary preservatives.

4. Can you name types of massages that are in a wide range of your skills?

N.: I perform oriental massages, including Lomi-Lomi, hot stone massage, herbal stamps, relaxing massages, including aromatherapy, modeling massages, lymphatic drainage, Chinese cupping, classic massage. I take care of pregnant women. Massage has been with me for 8 years and is a source of my passion. I am constantly learning various methods.

5. I was interested in aromatherapy. What is this procedure about?

N .: The treatment is preceded by consultation with the client about his needs, possible ailments and aromatic preferences, so as to best choose a natural essential oil for him. The action of essential oils is versatile, among others: they perfectly reduce nervous tension, soothe the senses giving a sense of relaxation, have a regenerative, antiseptic and antispasmodic effect. In addition to relaxation methods, the massage uses techniques to relax local tension. Aromatherapy combines the natural therapeutic properties of essential oils and the healing power of massage.

6. Is it possible to book a massage in J’adore’s offer, which in many SPAs is referred to as “holistic”, being a kind of combination of several oriental techniques?

N.: Absolutely! Although we do not have such a position in the price list, each of the working masseurs is able to skillfully combine various techniques for a holistic approach. The most important feature of this treatment is the masseur’s subtle response to the needs and preservation of the client’s tissues during the massage. This means that there are no two the same massages, just like there are no two the same people.

7. What is the most common reason to generate a client’s reservation? Is this a health aspect or a desire to relax?

N.: I think that for the most part it is a desire to reduce general tensions, improve well-being. Unfortunately, many of today’s professions are associated with long-term sitting, permanent stress. This causes muscle tension, back, shoulder and neck pain. Fortunately, we know how to fix it. Another group of our clients are people who have received a very wise gift from their loved ones – a massage voucher.

Is there a treatment that you would particularly recommend?

N.: Unfortunately, it’s difficult to answer this question because each of us is different. Therefore, before the procedure, we talk with clients about their needs and choose not the method, but the purpose of the massage that the person undergoing the treatment wants to achieve. If I had to determine my preferences, I love Ayurvedic massage, thanks to which I just swim away.
