To be a Spa or not a Spa in Cheltenham

If you’ve visited Cheltenham Reflexology and Massage before you will know that we don’t really identify as a ‘Day Spa’.  

We don’t have a swimming pool or cafe to visit and the ethos that we have is more of that of a clinic. Our aims are to relax, restore and then go further, by offering relief of uncomfortable symptoms.  We often see clients with headaches, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, sleep disturbances, symptoms or stress, shoulder and back problems and so much more.

The 3-hour, Deluxe Stress Buster is our longest appointment and includes your choice of 3 treatments from a Facial, Reflexology, Massage and Pedicure. There is also a 15 minute comfort break where you will be offered a hot or cold drink, whilst having your feet soaked in a warming Dead Sea salt foot bath.
