an ancient form of deep-tissue mas-
sage, using foot pressure rather than
hands and fingers. Therapists bal-
ance on overhead bars and their feet
apply soothing strokes to all muscles
of the back.
Aura spa director Sara Rozell is a
certified Ashiatsu massage therapist.
"I use my body weight to apply
pressure," she says, noting that she
has seen remarkable results for peo-
ple who suffer from chronic lower
back pain. "This type of massage is
considered to be the deepest, most
luxurious in the world," she adds.
The Hydrotherapy Jet Tub
Treatment takes the bath to a
whole new level, with light therapy
that moves the lymphatic system to
release toxins and ease sore mus-
cles and joints. Essential oils are
added to induce relaxation.
And then there's the hands-on
healing technique called Reiki. For
a blissful 60 minutes, massage ther-
apist Jennifer Flowers works with
the human energy field to resolve
physical and emotional trauma and
stress. It promotes balance among
all the body's systems.

day at the spa? ❑
