Oiling
What is this
A slow, deep, and 90-minute manual therapy with warm, natural cocoa butter. The name says it all: an oiling of body and soul.
A warming massage that gently works every muscle and every tissue.
The practice helps you relax, let go, recharge, and bring yourself back to yourself.
At the end of the practice, rest in a soft sheet, to the sounds of koshi bells or a tambourine.

A little fairy tale in life
In Ayurveda, the word "sneha" translates as both "oil" and "love." Ancient texts describe abhyanga, the oiling of the body, not as a hygienic process, but as a metaphor for enveloping oneself in pure, maternal, unconditional love.
