Are your chakras balanced?
Most of the time we plod along just like everyone else wishing Friday would come faster but there are some days when this really is the Carlsberg job.
Carton House, set in over 1,000 acres of natural parkland, has recently switched spa products to what would seem to be a very natural fit, Aveda and the nice people at Aveda and Deirdre O'Brien, Sales Manager at Carton persuaded me to try out the new treatment menu at the spa.
I opted for the Aveda Chakra™ Balancing Massage which is described as "an innovative massage experience that focuses on the seven chakra centres using a variety of massage techniques." This is a treatment for anyone who feels a little out of sorts and your therapist will invite you to choose from a selection of Aveda blended oils which will be used in your treatment, the theory being you'll pick the one you need.
Transpired my heart was in need of a little TLC and my chakras needed sandalwood, organic mandarin and palmrosa. My therapist, Sinead also applied blue oil (a blue camomile and peppermint combination) to soothe tight muscles, mainly around my shoulders and neck (all that hunching over a laptop on the non-Carlsberg-job days).
Aveda promise that combining their Chakra™ Balancing Blends with deep tissue massage, reflexology and chakra energy work will lead to "stress relief, decreased muscular tension and increased energy". Have to say I'd agree and whilst this may not be the cheapest treatment you will ever have - €105.00 for one hour and fifteen minutes - it does feel like a very effective and personalised treat.
Throughout the summer Carton House will offer special value packages so keep an eye out here for for the best deals.
