In sound healing massage with singing bowls, practitioners place the bowls on or around the body. The bowls are then gently struck or played, producing resonant tones and vibrations. The vibrations are thought to penetrate the body, promoting a sense of harmony and relaxation. This technique is believed to enhance the overall therapeutic effects of the massage by combining touch with the soothing auditory experience of the singing bowls..

Moon Drum, Tibetan Singing bowls, Frost Chimes and Bells

  • Facials help to renew skin cells by circulating the blood flow under the skin, which then can decrease puffiness and fluid build up that comes from our lymphatic system. Good circulation is important in that it brings oxygen, proteins and nutrition to the skin, while ridding our skin of toxins.

  • Performing a bathing ritual on a regular basis has been proven to recover overused muscles, improve circulation, prevent skin conditions, and even help to reduce the chance of heart disease. Mentally, bathing rituals can help to alleviate stress and relax one's mind from even the busiest of days.

  • Meditation can strengthen areas of your brain responsible for memory, learning, attention and self-awareness. The practice can also help calm down your sympathetic nervous system. Over time, mindfulness meditation can increase cognition, memory and attention.

  • Sea air, which contains iodine, salt, and magnesium, encourages respiratory health and can reduce the symptoms of asthma, promote respiratory health, improve allergies and skin problems, and stimulate the immune system.

  • When you go to bed at night, your skin finally gets the chance to repair, rejuvenate, and undo all the daytime damage. Your skin actively produces new skin cells and improves your skin's texture. When your pores are clogged, your skin does not get the chance to breathe and carry out its overnight repair process.

    Hydration is key to a healthy and glowing complexion. When you use an advanced skincare routine that involves a gentle cleanser, lightweight serum, and moisturiser, your skin is effortlessly hydrated and moisturised for a more youthful appearance.

    Not to mention, hydration lends an important hand in keeping your skin plump and voluminous, which is important for a rejuvenated appearance.

  • Bedtime routines help your brain distinguish the day from the night, clear your mind and body of the day's stresses, and fall asleep peacefully.

“Lovely relaxing stay. Just what we needed. A hidden gem. Stayed in the Dove Loft. It was spacious, tranquil, and relaxing. We especially liked the bath and all the aromatherapy products. Will be back.

My experience was amazing, it grounded me and cleared my negative energies accumulated over a bad few years and gave me the strength I required to move forward. I can’t recommend Michelle enough. I shall be making another visit without doubt. Thank you Michelle for you’re healing. I wish you all the best & look forward to my next visit.”

A true gem of a location in the heart of the town yet lovely and quiet. The room was immaculately clean, well supplied and the bed was extremely comfortable. Use of the terrace/garden was great, to be able to sit outside on the warm evenings was amazing!”
