Hand And Foot Ritual

A Slow Hand And Foot Ritual With Warm Soaks And A Long Massage

Hands and feet do a lot of work and rarely get any thanks. This ritual begins with a warm herbal foot soak while you settle into a reclining chair, then moves through a gentle scrub, nail tidy, a long massage for the feet and calves, and the same care for your hands.

We keep polish optional. Many guests prefer a buffed natural finish, but a sheer or classic color can be added at no extra charge. Every tool is cleaned and sterilized between guests, files and buffers are single use, and our basins are lined.

It is a relaxed hour, good for a first visit with a friend, and easy to pair with a facial so you have both treatments in one calm afternoon. Book the hands only or feet only version if you are short on time.

Wear open shoes if you choose polish so it can set on the way home, and bring your favorite shade if you prefer it to ours. For very dry heels, a second visit two to three weeks later usually makes a noticeable difference, and a balm at bedtime in between helps it last. The ritual also makes a thoughtful gift: gift cards for the full hour, or for hands or feet on their own, can be printed at the front desk or sent by email. Guests who stand all day, such as nurses, teachers and chefs, often tell us the long calf massage is the part they look forward to most.

Especially good for:

• Dry heels and busy hands
• A gentle first spa visit
• Pairing with a facial on the same day
• Guests on their feet all week
