Organic Aloe Gel Wrap and Massage at Missi Kibelbek, LMT

Rachel — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:34:35 +0000

Missi Kibelbek, a licensed massage therapist, is offering this wonderful body treatment! This luxurious 90-minute service starts with a body painting of 100% organic aloe gel that will moisturize, hydrate, and firm the skin. Then she’ll wrap your body and add heat so that the tissues fully absorb all of the benefits of the aloe. Using hot towels, the aloe will be removed and you’ll be ready to enjoy a deeply relaxing therapeutic massage using organic aromatherapy oils, including cedarwood, blood orange and pink grapefruit. These rich and earthy scents will aid in grounding and meditation, promote a sense of calm, and will prepare you mentally and spiritually for the coming seasons.

This treat is available for a limited time for only $99!

Regularly $130. This special expires on 11.23.12.
This may not be used in conjunction with another special or gift certificates.
You can also have this service in unscented, if you’d prefer.
