There’s nothing more stressful than
being a bride to be in just a month! And what’s the best gift can a maid of
honour give her to cope up with the strenuous task of being the future good ol’
wifey? A de-stressing spa session! And me, being the hard act committed friend,
accompanied her and went through a session myself! J
So, I had planned a pre-bachelorette spa
treatment for my friend who is getting married in May (yes, you will be seeing
more of her in the later month!) I was more than excited when I got an
invitation for a complimentary therapy at The Four Fountains De-Stress Spa, Mumbai
I tagged my friend along and what
followed was us being passed out for an hour and woke up RELAXED!
Read on to know more.....
To begin with, I’ll just give a quick
backdrop of the spa:
The
Four Fountains De-stress Spa is one India’s largest chain of professionally
managed, affordable health spa.
They
have 20 spas in 7 major cities- Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Banglore, Kolkata, Pune
& Goa
Their
spa therapies are categorized into De-Stressing, De-Toxification, Immunity and
Beauty
There’s
an in-house spa doctor who conducts a stress test and then recommends the best
fitted spa therapy and also suggests a healthy diet/lifestyle chart.
Well
trained therapists.
The
ambience is holistically adhered.
Here are some pics of the spa and ofcourse there
is one of my best friend and a random pic of my fingers oops rings covered with
fingers! I have always loved awesome rings, glitzy, midi/knuckle, statement,
chain anything and everything!! And Bin did a good job of capturing it whilst
on our Chocolate Avalanche Sr. sabotage at MochaMojo.

My Review:
I visited the spa located
in Bandra. Upon entering, I was greeted by a staff. Then proceeded to I’m
guessing the in-house doctor who checked our stress levels, turns out my stress
level is higher than the bride! [Obvious reasons: P] and then a couple of
general inquiry later, I was given the options to choose from a wide variety of
therapies as mentioned above into the major categories. We chose to de-stress
and hence, De-Stressing- Aromatherapy Massage (Relaxing) The whole environment
in the general area was calming and with the whiffs of essential oils. Loved
it! We were then introduced to our masseuse and then escorted to the therapy
room for a quick change. The session began with wiping of the tired feet with a
hot towel. I’m guessing that’s for hygiene purpose but it felt good anyway right
from there. The aromatherapy essential oils used were French Lavender and Ylang
Ylang. French lavender, according to their small info card is known to reduce
anxiety while Ylang Ylang relaxes nerves. Perfect! I must say that my
therapist, Iccha was really good. She was responsive and comforting. Also, one
major point I must add is that I really hate when you visit spas and the
attendant is really annoying you with the unnecessary chitter-chatter when all
you want to do is relax. But here it was nothing like that. She was completely
dedicated and I was for most of the parts in a comatose state of relaxation. The
stress nerves were attended to, the pressure was well-maintained. Also, the
music was extremely soothing. Which was a bonus! All in all, perfecto! I would
give a standing ovation if I could but then that would be weird. Coming back,
after the well deserved relaxed hour, I was then to go for a shower that was
attached to the room which was good. After the session we were given a hot cup
of green tea and which we happily sipped and a tiny tub of complimentary gel which
can be used to soothe the nerves then filled out their feedback form.
I must say I was very impressed. A good spa
session is always refreshing. And I
would definitely recommend you guys to try this spa out at least once. You’ll
definitely crave for some more! For an hour there I was in the “No-Stress Zone”
and I came out content and satisfied. As for the bride-to-be, she came out
looking relaxed she has ever been since she got engaged! Haha
That’s all for today, ‘keep dressing and
keep de-stressing’ J
Woot Woot
