Frances had the good fortune to experience Bamford Body Signature Treatment lasting 90 minutes.
This deeply relaxing massage is designed to de-stress, spirit away tensions, melt anxieties and rebalance your weary body.
The treatment starts with a deeply cleansing foot bath, followed by a firm-as-you-like massage, using Shiatsu, Meridian and Swedish massage techniques, working together to relieve muscles, detoxify organs and ease energy flow around the body.
Of the experience Frances recalls, “As you drift into a deep sense of calm, a pressure point massage to your face, neck, shoulders and head, and a little yogic breathing, will see off any lingering languor. Perfect for stress, tension, jet lag or simply pleasure.”
