Begin with a focused TCM-inspired wellness assessment, take time to shower and prepare, then settle into a personalised Herbal Steam ritual.

Afterwards, make your way to the Tea Gallery or garden, where a beautifully prepared tea is waiting for you. Stay, sip slowly and allow the experience to settle.

ORA Bodywork

Focused touch, guided by what your body needs today.

When the body feels tense, stiff or restricted, the areas that need attention are not always the areas that feel most obvious.

ORA Bodywork is informed by Tui Na techniques and the body’s principal meridian pathways. Your practitioner uses focused pressure, compression and movement to work with areas of tension and restricted movement.

There is no fixed massage sequence. Pressure, pace and focus are adjusted around your comfort, your assessment and what your practitioner observes on the day.
