Autumn/Winter 2013
This season both our new treatments and products have remained true to their roots, taking on a home-grown organic feel. Our Scottish skincare range, Seaweed Organics has been very well received and we have sourced two truly Scottish Spa ingredients that form the basis of our new treatments: award-winning Hebridean Sea Salt and fresh Scottish Seaweed. The Studio is the perfect retreat during the winter months... As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, our luxurious heated treatment couch comes into its own. The comforting duvet makes its way out of storage and the soft flickering candles envelop the studio in a gentle soothing light. Now is a great time to treat yourself to some soothing relaxation before returning home feeling recharged, revived and ready to face the world. I do hope you will find something within these pages to tempt you. I would also like to thank you for your continued custom; it is something I will never take for granted.
