Treatment:
Body Re-Shaping Massage ‘The Cellulite Slayer’
(60 mins £100)
This unique bottom-prepping massage treatment is the ultimate
cellulite busting and all-over body beautifying treatment for
those concerned with orange peel, love handles, fat deposits and
water retention. Tetyana Niroomand-Rad is a cellulite-busting
goddess, and has an army of dedicated clients who swear by her
practices. The treatment involves deep-tissue massage, focusing
on legs, bum, stomach and love handles, combined with lymphat-
ic drainage. Problem areas are thoroughly kneaded and fatty
deposits are broken down.Tetyana then introduces her manual
cupping technique to further break down fat cells. Results are
noticeable after one session, but for the best effect it’s ideal to
have 4-10 treatments. The first session leaves you slightly sore
and bruised, but no pain, no gain – and the results are visible!

Aromatherapy
Associates Body & Mind
Experience
(60 mins, £80)
An intense massage to release
tension and leave you feeling
deeply relaxed and recharged.
After a brief discussion, the ther-
apist chose the oils most suited
to improving our emotional and
physical well being. The massage
was extremely relaxing and on
request focused on problem
areas. Aromatherapy uses heal-
ing powers of natural plant
extracts to de-stress, repair and
rejuvenate. In the hands of a pro-
fessional, as at Antara, the oils
can be tailored to your needs
and are fantastic for relaxing and
de-stressing, as well as reinvigo-
rating and pepping you up if required.
