The Spa at Grove Isle – Watsu massage

For an incredible total body experience, try the Watsu massage therapy treatment at The Spa at Grove Isle in Florida.

What is Watsu? Water + shiatsu = Watsu. This exclusive treatment can only be found at eight locations in the Eastern seaboard.

Watsu is an extremely soothing massage that takes place in a waist-deep pool with warmth set to match your body’s temperature. Watsu massages are extremely beneficial for spinal column relief – unparalleled therapy that cannot be achieved on land.

The practice of Watsu was developed to apply Zen Shiatsu ancient Chinese pressure-point therapy to release blockage along the body’s meridians while floating in the arms of a therapist as they massage muscles, mobilize joints, stretch tissues and open energy pathways.

At Florida’s luxury The Spa at Grove Isle in Coconut Grove, Watsu therapy treatment is administered in a secluded outdoor pool with Miami’s lush scenery and a Roman waterfall as your backdrop.

Small floating devices are placed on your feet – to assist with buoyancy – and during Watsu, the therapist cradles your body with one arm supporting your knees and the other arm supporting your back, while one of your arms is wrapped around the therapist’s back, the other freely floats.

The therapist then whirls you through the water, an action that takes your body through a series of passive stretches and twists.

Watsu’s soothing stretches have a therapeutic effect on the body. The massage creates an incomparable effect on your spinal column, as the buoyancy and support of the water allows the spinal column to be moved in ways that are not achievable on land.

The cost for a 50 minute session is $150 or for 80 minutes, it’s $185.

Before any treatments are performed, your spa pleasure begins with SpaHalekulani’s exclusive gentle foot pounding ritual. Your feet are first wrapped in fragrant, steaming towels, gently tapped with Polynesian bamboo (“ton ton” pounders), and finished with a light scent-ual misting.

The maile (pronounced my-lee) vine is their signature fragrance and is used in many of the products used in their treatments.

Each luxury spa treatment room is a spa suite, equipped with private steam showers. There is also a couples suite for couples treatments, with a Japanese-style furo tub.

Their SpaHalekulani Bridal Suite has two treatment beds, as well as an adjoining room for hair, manicure and pedicure stations. The day that I toured the spa, they were preparing for a bride and her attendants. They were all getting some type of treatment, as well as spa cuisine delivered to the suite. There is also an outdoor private lanai for those in between treatments.

Regular guests also can enjoy a private (lanai) spa terrace, separated by foliage, also allowing a view of Gray’s Beach known by the Hawaiians for its healing “Kawehewehe” waters.

They offer a Samoan massage that uses smooth stones wrapped in mulberry bark, and toning, revitalizing noni juice and a Signature spa treatment Polynesian Steam Therapy, inspired by Tongan traditions. After a gentle tapping-style massage to loosen the upper chest and back, this treatment envelops you in your own humidifying steam tent made of kapa cloth.

While your feet are pampered with reflexology, you inhale the lemony vapors of lemongrass, said to have antiseptic and skin-healing properties, along with earthy mists of kava root, said to ease anxiety and instill a profound calm, and eucalyptus to let you breath easy.

SpaHalekulani was developed by Sylvia Sepielli, operator of SPAd, (Sylvia Planning and Design). She has also overseen projects at The Mauna Lani Spa, on the Big Island, and Mii Amo at the Enchantment in Sedona, AZ as well as many spas in Japan & Asia.

SpaHalekulani was the first spa to fully explore the healing traditions of Hawaii’s diverse cultures, especially those from the Pacific Islands such as Samoa, Tonga and Tahiti. The Polynesian ambiance is abound – with sliding Japanese doors to the sandal-wood-scented massage beds.

Most of us are aware of the health benefits of a glass of red wine. There’s also been past research suggesting that says drinking a glass of wine can slim you down, make your bones stronger and also help you live a little longer.

Well the news just keeps getting better for alcoholic lovers. There are more reasons to enjoy even an occasional, good quality cocktail.

Reason #1: Researchers in Norway who surveyed more than 38,000 people, say occasional drinking may be good for your mental health. They discovered those who drink are less likely to be depressed than those who do not.

Reason #2: Researchers say people who admit to drinking more than a single drink per day, may be in better shape than those who don’t drink alcohol at all. According to a new study, people who drink tend to exercise more and therefore be generally more active.

It’s important to keep these finding in perspective. The good news does come with a very important reminder:
– Keep your daily alcohol intake to one drink per day
– Don’t drink every day of the week.  If you do (and you consume more than a glass a day), your risk for certain health conditions and cancers, including breast cancer (for women), may increase.

The key is be safe and drink in moderation. So now go have an after-work cocktail. Enjoy!
