Five Senses Cleanse


At Life without Pain we offer a number of treatments that are beneficial and stimulating to the senses, those of touch, sight, smell, taste and sound. Some of our therapies that focus on touch can be found elsewhere on our website. The session will start out with an oil massage to the upper back, neck, chest, face and head stimulating the sense of touch. A specific oil will be applied to the chest and neck to loosen any mucus. You will be tented and steam will be generated to open the pores, allow the oil to steep in and move stagnicity and mucus. For the remaining senses we will focus on therapies that address sight, smell, taste and sound. Package price of $125
