Eye Pillows

  • Do not need to be heated
  • When placed across your eyes, nose and cheeks its soothing weight settles into the key acupressure points for clarity and calm.
  • They are instantly reassuring and sleep inducing.
  • They block out light and silence ‘mind chatter’.
  • Soothing lavender scent is excellent for decreasing anxiety and nervousness. Therefore, it can also be helpful in treating migraines, headaches, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress.

Heatable Bean Bags

  • Can be easily warmed in your hot cabbie or microwave.
  • Increase blood supply to the muscles to assist in releasing lactic acid build up.
  • Assist your client in feeling comfortable – maximizing relaxation.
  • Assist in warming tight muscles before you begin the massage to maximize on efficacy of the treatment.
  • Alleviate post massage pain.
  • Heat stimulates the sensory receptors in the skin, which means that applying heat to the lower back will decrease transmissions of pain signals to the brain and partially relieve the discomfort.

Spa Sense can supply you with both of eye pillows and bean bags; we recommend using lavender as the scent of choice as this is cost effective and universally liked by most clients. However should you have a signature scent specific to your spa/salon we can tailor the scent according to you specifications.

I qualified as a Somatologist in JHB in 2001. I began my career in the spa industry working on cruise ships for Steiner Transocean. I furthered my studies on my return to SA qualifying in advanced make up and special effects. I then moved to London where I worked in 2 of the most prestigious spas. I acquired knowledge in all aspects if the spa business and moved quickly from hands on therapy to part of the management team. When I finally came back to South Africa to settle for good I joined the management team of the Spas of Distinction where I grew my skill set even further and established a professional network throughout the South African Spa Industry. It is here where my roots are now deep seated and where I will remain for good. I started Spa Sense in 2010 and we have grown from strength to strength every year since then; forming key relationships with all the industry specialists. I head up the consultancy division of Spa Sense and run many of our training courses including Front Office, SOPs and Spa Sales and Retail. I also oversee our recruitment division making sure that all my clients and candidates expectations are always exceeded by the level service they receive from my team. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and hope I remain blessed enough to be in this exciting industry forever.
