Who Knew a Big Bamboo Stick could Bring on Sweet Body Bliss?

When I think bamboo, I think panda. And eco-friendly flooring. I don't typically associate bamboo with all-out physical nirvana. But that's exactly what happened to me at the Samsara Day Spa. Which is my new favorite new hub of holistic healing. Samsara Day Spa is located in the beautiful village setting of Forest Hill.

Life-giving rituals have been practiced in every culture since the beginning of time. Inspired by these rituals, Samsara Day Spa has merged techniques and philosophies from around the world into a potent blend of treatments, ensuring an optimal wellness experience. It's a mind-body concept that embraces a more mystical interpretation of well-being.

Samsara is a sanskrit name, meaning “cycle of rebirth”. The ancient visualized the universe circle as a constant play of energies. The cycle of Samsara is one of evolving through learning and knowledge, where life is a journey of discovery.

Schedule Your Very Own Stick Day

For centuries, bamboo has been a vital part of everyday life throughout South East Asia. Each tool is designed to work on various parts of the body and maximize leverage and gravity with sliding, kneading, rolling, pivoting, levering, tapping and friction techniques. Because the tools cover such a broad area at one time they afford some of the most effective and enjoyable work imaginable on trouble areas such as neck, shoulders, back and legs. Before being applied to the body the Bamboo tools are warmed. The application of the warm bamboo melts away the tension of the client while at the same time creating a deeply relaxing and soothing experience. 

Bamboo is essential and unique because its walls are covered with silica. This creates an outer cover of tiny quartz-like crystal matrixes that are activated when they encounter the right conditions of mechanical stress. As we work, we apply pressure to the body with the bamboo stick and the friction that is created will activate the molecular structure in the silica. We have a powerful tool that is charged and will create dramatic and permanent changes.

Why Bamboo?

• No allergic reaction: Many people are allergic to natural fibers, such as wool. Bamboo has had the smallest number of allergic reactions with people, barely having any. 

• Anti-bacterial: Bamboo is aggressively anti-bacterial. It has a natural property called bamboo kun that kills up to 70% of any bacteria attempting to incubate on the bamboo.

A Unique Philosophy of Wellness 

In delivering the specialized treatments, Samsara therapists are grounded as individuals, qualified as professionals. My therapist was energetic and invested, she pulled out all the stops to make me feel completely at peace. I found Samsara delivered spa experiences both unique and memorable, and very much beyond expectations. Also highly recommended - Samsara has one of the best facial menus for a day spa in the city. My skin glowed for days following the Signature Facial. And the best part? While my masque was setting, the therapist went on and did a full leg massage. Brilliant.

This special little haven offers a wide range of services. These services include, therapeutic massages, hot stone massage, facials, manicure,  pedicure, bio gel nails, threading, waxing, eyebrow and eyelash tinting and body treatments. Samsara also hosts events every three to four months, the first event Bollywood Night is being hosted on December 10th. This event includes manicures, pedicures, Indian Hors D'œuvre, Indian Movies and Henna. They also gladly host Birthday Parties, Bridal Parties and parties for any theme or occasion.
