CHASE THAT FEELING

FEEL GOOD: TEMPLE DAY SPA

2022 is your year!

It's fair to say that over the last 24 months, mindsets have shifted — self-care is more important than ever and a nurturing touch is desperately needed.

Presenting Adelaide’s most luxurious place to be pampered, Temple Day Spa — where touch-hungry South Australians like ourselves go to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect. More like a wellness retreat than a spa, Temple gives you the warm and fuzzies inside and out, and you won’t want to leave.

“It’s all about that feeling,” says owner and good friend of ours, Sharon Templeton. “All I want is for my guests (both men and women) to feel great inside and out, whether that’s by enjoying a 90-minute hot stone massage or helping them to create little daily rituals that make their hearts sing. As women, we tend to focus on the way we look but not always on the way we feel — and feeling refreshed is so beautiful, right?”

So how can you get that tantalising Temple feeling?

TEMPLE GIVES YOU THE WARM AND FUZZIES INSIDE AND OUT, AND YOU WON’T WANT TO LEAVE.

MASSAGE It’s not just a massage — it’s an experience. Temple Day Spa’s highly experienced therapists are so nurturing and make you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. Whether it’s a blissful hot stone massage, a relaxation massage or pregnancy massage, you are literally in the best hands, every time.

FACE If you’re yearning for a deep sense of relaxation, try one of Temple’s amazing facials. Chances are you’ll experience hypnagogia — that peaceful state of consciousness between being awake and asleep. Their facial menu extends to treatments like microdermabrasions, detox oxygenating facials, hydrating facials, purifying facials, a Better Than Botox Facial and my favourite, the Vitamin C Facial. All of these gorgeous treatments include a luxurious neck and shoulder massage, too. See, I told you it was heaven. BODY If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated and a little self-conscious about those dimples on your legs (which we all have by the way, even if you’re a skinny-mini), Temple Day Spa is the only day spa in Adelaide that offers Endomologie. “It’s an incredible non-surgical treatment for cellulite and fat loss that’s gentle, painless and is so relaxing that many of our guests fall asleep during the treatment,” smiles Sharon.

Speaking of melting away, have you ever had a Vichy shower? It’s designed for you to completely relax and allow warm water to rain over your body, massaging you in all the right places. Bliss!

SHARE THE LOVE The best way to reconnect with your loved one, bestie, bride-to-be, mum or sister is by slipping into a state of full relaxation — together! The Couple’s Suite is designed to do exactly that. You can enjoy a body scrub, massage, facial or even a spa together. And why stop there when you can stay the whole day? A Full Day Delight is five-anda-half hours of pure bliss and includes lunch!

TEMPLE AT HOME If only you could take that Temple feeling away with you. Wait, you can with their Spa in a Jar. It’s ah-mazing! “Whenever you visit Temple Day Spa, we want you to remember how you felt — relaxed, centered, nourished, positive, calm. That’s why we created Nest & Temple!” From the most magnificent smelling facial mists to scentfree lip balm, calming salts and essential oil blends perfect for relaxing busy minds, Nest & Temple is the closest thing to feeling like you’re at your favourite day spa.
