A treatment room prepared for a first visit: a linen-dressed bed, a lit candle and an olive tree by the window

Your first visit

We begin with you.

The ORA First Visit is a considered introduction to how we work: first we listen, then we warm the body, then we focus the treatment where it is most useful to you.

Four stages, in order.

  1. A practitioner's fingertips resting on a guest's inner wrist on a linen cushion
  2. Steam rising through window light in the timber chamber, a copper bowl of water below
  3. A practitioner's hands working along a guest's upper back under stone linen
  4. A gaiwan and a small cup of amber tea on a dark timber table, steam curling from the cup
Two low chairs at a timber table by the window, set with a linen wrist cushion, a notebook and a cup of tea

Body & Meridian Reading

£68

Up to 35 minutes, on its own.

Prefer to begin with the reading alone? Book it as a standalone visit. If you continue into any 90-minute-or-longer spa ritual on the same day, £30 of the reading price will be credited to that ritual.
