Wellness massage in Leipzig – time to switch off

Simply switch off: our wellness massages in Leipzig city centre use calm, flowing strokes and warm oil. Depending on the massage, a foot bath, a scrub or a head massage is included.

Wellness or sports massage?

A wellness massage is slower and more even than a sports massage; the pressure stays gentle to medium unless you ask for more.

Balinese massage – long, flowing strokes

A full-body massage with warm aroma oil and very slow strokes, gentler than the classic massage. Hot stones can be added as an add-on.

How is it different from Swedish massage?

Balinese massage is mostly long strokes and stays gentler; Swedish massage also uses kneading and firmer pressure.

Sunrise – invigorating with peppermint oil

A full-body massage similar to Balinese, with peppermint oil, finished with a lemon and vanilla rub – for waking up rather than drifting off. Sensitive to fragrances? Tell us in the notes.

Is Sunrise gentle?

It is a wellness massage, similar to Balinese. You choose the pressure yourself when you book: gentle, medium or strong.

Do I have to come in the morning?

No, you can book it at any time we are open.

Reflexology – with foam bath and scrub

Feet or hands, as you decide on the day: foam bath, sea-salt scrub, then the massage. Not suitable during pregnancy.

Does reflexology affect the organs?

We offer it as a feel-good treatment and make no promises about organs or complaints.

Is it part of other massages?

Foot reflexology is also part of Tired Legs and Pure Relaxation.

Pure Relaxation – from feet to head

Our longest ritual: a foot bath with scrub and, at the same time, a 20-minute head massage, then foot reflexology and a full-body massage with warm oil. Hot stones can be added as an add-on. Not suitable during pregnancy.

What is different in the longer version?

The same parts; each body area is massaged for longer. Nothing is added.

Beautiful Silhouette – brush massage and gentle strokes

A care treatment: an invigorating brush massage, then gentle decongesting strokes with warm shea butter on problem areas. Hot stones can be added as an add-on. Avoid it on sunburnt, freshly shaved or irritated skin.

Will it get rid of cellulite?

We don't promise that. It is a care and feel-good treatment, not a medical one.
