Two Weeks Out

$310

Two visits, a fortnight apart

A deep facial fourteen days before, so any reaction has time to settle, then a lighter finishing facial three days before. The mistake people make is booking one facial the day before.

Recovery

$205

75 minutes · Moana or Daniel

Legs, hips and lower back at firm pressure, with cupping if you want it. Book it three to five days after the event rather than the same afternoon.

How prices work

The rest room is never extra. Part of every booking and nobody will move you along.

Saturdays cost $15 more across the board. The honest way to keep weekday prices where they are.

No surcharge for a therapist by name. Booking Moana costs the same as whoever is free.

And deposits

Ten percent off if you book your next visit before you leave. The only discount we do.

$40 deposit on anything over an hour, taken off the price on the day, refunded with 24 hours notice.

Tipping is not a thing here. Our therapists are paid properly and will hand it back.
