MILL VALLEY, CA (March 22, 2004) Known as the “Sleeping Princess,”
Marin County’s Mount Tamalpais is the shining summit of the San
Francisco Bay Area and the perfect complement to nearby Tea Garden Springs
Spa, home to Aromaveda – The Facial Fit For A Princess. A unique
fusion of aromatherapy and ayurveda, the five-star facial features a
sumptuous warm stone massage, organic aromatic oils, and a natural fruit
mask to rebalance the body’s energy and leave skin radiant.
Guests are welcomed with a soothing cup of tea customized for their
dosha and invited to relax in the spa’s tranquil tea garden, complete
with an indoor, trickling brook and lush views of Northern California’s
legendary redwoods. Next, guests are ushered into the luxury of a candle-lit
treatment room where they enjoy a hot towel, aromatherapy back treatment
followed by a thorough facial cleansing, exfoliation, steam treatment,
fruit mask, and a warm stone face, hand, arm and foot massage. Used
to diffuse heat into the skin and help the aromatic oils to penetrate
deeper, the warm stones, including one placed at the Sixth Chakra or
third eye, provide an immediate and unforgettable release in the muscles
of the face.
A transformative treatment for mind, body, and spirit, the Tea Garden
Springs Aromaveda Facial features Essensa’s pure, therapeutic essential
oils imported from Provence, a French region renowned for its extraordinary
plant life. For over 30 years, Essensa’s highly-trained phyto-aromatherapists
and biochemists have produced carefully blended formulas of essential
oils, assuring outstanding skincare results. Cost of the 85-minute Aromaveda
Facial is $155. For Tea Garden Springs reservations, please call (415)
