The Auriga Signature Treatments
Tales of lunar power run deep through the myths and folklore of all cultures and civilizations. Even modern science points to the moon’s impact on the earth and its sway over the natural world. This power lies in the varying energies in each of the moon’s four phases. Each phase has unique characteristics and impacts the body in very specific ways, making certain activities and nutrition more suitable.
Our signature treatments have been designed to reflect these varying energies of the lunar cycle.
Each of these signature treatments is dedicated to a particular phase of the moon–New, Waxing, Full and Waning–and is only offered when the treatment corresponds to the moon’s particular stage to ensure the most profound experience for the guest.
NEW MOON • THE BEGINNING • 120 MINUTES ($300)
The New Moon is the time for renewal and introspection. Meditate on who you are and would like to become and establish strategies to reach your higher potential. It begins, with a massage of your feet—your foundation. Your feet will be anointed with oils of Juniper, Rosemary and Fennel to awaken your spirits. The body and mind are then thoroughly revitalized with a Seaweed and Eucalyptus salt scrub followed by a deeply stimulating Seaweed wrap. The treatment concludes with full body Rosemary and Eucalyptus massage. Your body will feel awakened after this invigorating treatment.
WAXING MOON • SOWING THE SEEDS • 120 MINUTES ($300)
The Waxing Moon is the time to refocus your energy, to nourish yourself, and to reach your goals and higher potential. Embrace and embody your visions. To begin, a rich, luxurious oil will be worked into the feet using pressure point techniques. To release the creative energies of the mind, the scalp is massaged and both the feet and head are anointed with Rose and Jasmine oil while a luxurious petal and salt scrub exfoliates the body. The treatment concludes with a nurturing Jasmine mask and a full body massage. You will feel grounded and full of creative energy after this nourishing treatment.
FULL MOON • THE HEIGHT • 180 MINUTES ($450)
The Full Moon is the time to realize your full potential. Live life to its fullest. With a scent revered for centuries, nothing encompasses balance more than Rose, the focus of this balancing treatment. The treatment begins with an anointment and massage of the feet with Rose oil. Whilst the feet are wrapped in a warm towel, the body is exfoliated with Rose petals and Rose-oil-infused salt, leaving both the mind and body in complete harmony. A deep cleansing Rose wrap nourishes the body with minerals and is followed by a relaxing massage and lymphatic facial using Rose crystals and acupressure points. Rose tea is served at the end of your treatment to help you on your journey.
This treatment will bring all your systems into balance.
WANING MOON • CLEANSING • 180 MINUTES ($450)
The Waning Moon is the perfect time to cleanse. Cleansing treatments undertaken during this phase are more effective and will act on deeper levels. Allow the forces of nature to assist you as you let go and renew. The treatment begins with a massage of the feet with detoxifying oils and pressure point techniques, releasing toxins and stimulating your inner organs. The body is then gently dry brushed, creating heat deep within the muscles while smoothing the skin. A purifying seaweed wrap is followed by a cleansing massage using lymph techniques that further stimulates the elimination of toxins.
The treatment concludes with a facial massage, ensuring a thorough detoxification of your entire system.
