Whether you come to Blue Spirit with the idea of personal transformation, acquiring new skills, simply to recharge, or healing at a deeper level, allow some time to complete your retreat experience with the magic of the Wellness & Spa services. We strive to have excellent quality body-workers and therapists that love and shine at what they do.

To book a service, please come to reception. Once you have selected a treatment and a therapist, our Front Desk staff will help you book the type of treatment you wish during one of the available time slots on the therapist's schedule.

When booking a massage, please specify whether you would like a 1-hour or 1.5 hour treatment. Remember to book early to ensure that you get your preferred time slot and treatment!

If you do wish to leave a tip for the treatment offered, you can tip the therapists in cash at the time of your treatment, or you leave it in an envelope with the therapist name in the locked box at reception.

Blue Spirit has a 24 hour cancellation / rescheduling policy.

If you miss your appointment, cancel or change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged 100%.

This policy is in place out of respect for our therapists and our clients. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are difficult to fill. By giving last minute notice or no notice at all, you prevent someone else from being able to schedule into that time slot.

If you arrive late to your appointment, we cannot guarantee a full treatment, but you will be charged 100% of the treatment fee.

After 20 minutes for 1-hour sessions and 30 minutes for a 1,5 hour session, the therapist will declare a no show.

BODYWORK:

Deep Tissue: Accurate, slow and effective. Always using appropriate subtlety & depth, this goes to core structural tension to release and correct them. Relaxes deeply held tension and relieves pain. Restores flexibility of fasciae and removes adhesions with lasting effects.

Hot Stone Massage: The use of hot stones help you achieve a deep state of relaxation, which allows manipulating areas of the body that would not normally be accessible. Besides that, the body will be uplifted with the energetic power of the Costa Rican ocean stones.

Craniosacral Balancing: Is a subtle and non-invasive body therapy. It supports the body to find its own healing powers. It loosens the energetic and physical restrictions and allows the body to flow in a more harmonious way. It is deeply relaxing for the nervous system.

Thai massage: Thai techniques include the use of knees, elbows and palms with dynamic passive stretching. Also referred to as Yoga Thai Massage.

Shiatsu: A healing method from Japan based on the use of deep supporting touch and stretching movements. Shiatsu releases tension and pain and stretches the body like a good yoga class. It also strengthens the immune system as it energizes and rejuvenates. While receiving Shiatsu you have a feeling of deep relaxation, of being at home, beyond body and mind.

Holistic Massage: This is a full body massage including hands and feet. Long, gentle strokes invite the person to relax deeply and to trust and receive the loving touch. Following intuition, body needs are met. There is an open space to feel and sink into ones own being.

Intuitive Massage: Incorporates both Shiatsu and Deep tissue techniques paired with intuition of what is needed at the moment for the healing of the whole being.

'Focusing' Heartwork: the guided process of holding the 'felt sense' of a strong challenge, difficult feeling, or important decision to make, with spacious loving attention, while gently dialoging with it until deep insights and a clear shift of energy emerge. The work is supported by hands-on energy work to promote safety and balance.

Lymphatic Manual Drainage: light and pleasant hand-pumping style of massage developed in Europe to accelerate the body's natural detoxifying process. In the 90-minute session, hands-on energy work for the endocrine glands complements that process. Lymphatic massage is recommended for cleanses, fluid retention problems and/or congestion.

Feet-Hand-Face Reflexology: a rhythmic pressing of reflexology points to send healing energy to corresponding organs and glands. Acupressure on the scalp and neck is included. Acufacelift, a spa treatment consisting of acupressure and light squeezing strokes to promote elasticity of the facial skin, is performed in the 90-minute session. Reflexology alleviates poor circulation and tension in the extremities and restores wellbeing.

Nurturing Swedish-Esalen Massage with soothing humming: slow, flowing and caring Esalen strokes accompanied by soft humming. Hands-on energy work and sound healing for the chakras and organs are included with the 90-minute session. Swedish-Esalen massage is particularly suited for grieving times or if you simply want to feel cared for.

Trigger Points Release: acupressure combined with stretches, Swedish petrissage strokes and energy work on trigger points related to specific muscle/ligament pain or tension. A great way to relieve workout or traveling stiffness!

Energetic Lomi Lomi with heartful Hawaiian singing: long, flowing, hypnotic strokes with strong hand pressure, that increase circulation and energy flow, supported by live singing and chanting. Kahi Loa, a '7 elements' visualization and energy work is done at the beginning and the end of the 90-minute session. Traditional Lomi Lomi helps relieve constipation, poor circulation, fatigue or 'the blues'.

Hawaiian Shamanic Bodywork: a powerful hands-on shamanic voyage, which begins with a Hawaiian call to ancestors, teachers, and the higher self, to create a sacred space. Accompanied by Hawaiian chant music and the sound of whales, this process uses custom-made affirmations, circle and figure-8 forearm strokes; slow joint rotations, deeper shared breath and unconditional acceptance, to facilitate release and transformation.

Tui-na: Deep Tissue Massage from China: This is a very effective method for treating problems arising from modern lifestyles: fatigue, back and neck pain, and many other muscular skeletal disorders. Using more than 100 types of massage movements and manipulations to relieve pain, promote healing while revitalizing and re-energizing the body and soul.

Functional Restoration Bodywork: Soft tissue work targeting specific areas of restrictions within each body. Working on an intuitive level, each session is specific to the individual's pattern of restriction. By releasing these restrictions the body is able to heal on its own. This work seeks the source of each condition, which may be deep or superficial, emotional or physical.

From the Head to the Heart: A new and unique combination of the oriental classic bodywork (massage, tuina, zen shiatsu) and healing techniques from the forest. A massage technique involving all the elements of Zen Shiatsu, Tui-Na and Chi-Kung and diagnosis through the belli (hara), all in one session…"based on many years as a practitioner, I combine the benefits of all of these techniques blending them into a unique healing experience."

BIOENERGETIC WORKS:

Reiki: The Healing Energy of Reiki works on specific personal intentions helps you restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium, enjoying the sense of wellbeing and relaxation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral: In an atmosphere of deep acceptance and meditative awareness, the practitioner offers presence and inner stillness to invite the clients own healing forces to take care of the problem or issue. The practitioner cooperates with those healing forces enabling the body to restore health and improve its resources. This session reduces stress, tension and anxiety, enhancing better sleep, and promoting a calm attitude. It can also improve physical mobility and dissolve pain on physical and emotional levels.

Shamanic Energy Medicine: Shamanic Energy Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years in various indigenous cultures of the world. Some say: when nothing has helped, people find their way to a shamanic practitioner. Shamanic Energy Medicine works at the soul level and heals through removing energetic blocks, traumatic imprints, or ancestral imbalances in our luminous energy field that create disease or painful life patterns. In a typical session, we first assess the nature of the issue and its connection to the various levels of your being -the physical, mental-emotional, and energetic body- and then select the most appropriate energy medicine modality for you. Shamanic energy medicine often creates a deep shift in our life experience, restoring our sense of wholeness and allowing us to move forward with clarity.

SPA TREATMENTS:

Lemon Ginger Salt Glow: Sea salt brings a healthy glow to dull dry skin. By exfoliating the skin the antioxidant properties of the lemon as well as the rich nutrition of the coconut oil is absorbed into the skin. Ginger is warming and great for circulation.

Chocolate Therapy: Cacao increases blood circulation, which assists in decreasing cellulite and firming the skin. Chocolate has an anti-aging effect and helps to fight against free radical damage in the skin. It protects the skins natural elasticity, decreases its sensitivity to the sun, and is a natural skin softener and conditioner.

Coffee Body Scrub: Coffee tightens and rejuvenates the skin, while sugar exfoliates, and olive oil seals in moisture.

Aloe Body Treatment: The body is exfoliated with a sugar scrub while green tea helps to fight free radicals. Aloe and lavender are applied to the skin to hydrate and soothe. This treatment is especially helpful in treating sunburn.

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT:

Inner Depth Counseling: Inner-Depth Counseling supports the recognition of your authentic being and expression, and assists you in finding balance in different areas of your life.

During the session we examine together the true source of your challenge, and use dialogue, deep listening, meditative inquiry, and bodily felt sensing to re-connect you with your natural intelligence (versus conditioned mind), and to allow for fresh insights, new possibilities, and a sense of 'homecoming' to unfold. If called for, we assist your nervous system to gently unwind from old fears and anxieties.

Tarot Reading: Tarot is an ancient science of wisdom. To look into the Tarot cards can be a playful way to see our live situations and "problems" in a different light. It is a wonderful tool to bring clarity and understanding to confusing situations and conflicts. In the reading we create distance to our familiar way of thinking and auctioning. We see things in a new light, open to deeper levels of understandings.
