treatments
We offer the following treatments:
Japanese REN Facial £85 (75 mins)
There is so much more to your face than simply having a clear complexion. Bright eyes, elastic skin and good muscle tone make a face memorable. Achieving this is remarkably easy with a REN facial, which goes beyond a conventional beauty treatment. The secret is twofold: REN products are extraordinarily pure and contain no petrochemicals that can block the pores or sulphates that can strip the skin of its natural hydration. Botanically based, they leave your skin feeling marvellously clean and glowing. Secondly, every REN facial includes a twenty-five minute “Ko Bi Do” massage. This ancient Japanese treatment works on the structure below the skin – your facial and cranial muscles – to bring a unique radiance to your features. The gentle manipulation of lymphatic drainage points rids the skin of toxins and ensures that every aspect of your countenance is given a full workout. Along with a deep sense of wellbeing, you will find that your complexion looks and feels utterly rejuvenated. Every individual’s skin is different. The products used during a REN facial are specifically chosen to suit individual needs and provide a tailor made treatment. Because the condition of your skin changes with the seasons and your general state of health, each treatment will vary accordingly.
Integrative Reflexology £55 (45 mins)
This modern form of reflexology is a complex treatment that focuses on the feet and uses a mixture of disciplines to help balance the entire system.
Stone Therapy £95 (90 mins)
This massage therapy uses warm and cool flat stones along the meridian line’s of the body to help relieve muscle tension and encourage a deep sense of relaxation.
Hay Barn Ayurvedic Ritual £110 (75 mins)
Ayurveda is an ancient system of holistic medicine based on a desire to nurture all aspects of health, rather than simply respond to the symptoms of disease. This therapy begins with a fifteen-minute consultation with our Dr. Suraj to determine your individual body type, or dosha, followed by a one-hour massage specific to your dosha.
Shirodhara Therapy £85 (60 mins)
An Ayurvedic third eye treatment that restores harmony to the mind and body. A rhythmic stream of oil is poured onto the forehead to awaken the third eye, which in turn promotes natural healing and can restore good health. This rejuvenating treatment is particularly effective in calming the mind and soothing the senses. A course of six treatments is recommended.
Holistic Lifestyle Consultation £85 (60 mins) & follow-up £55 (30 mins)
Ayurvedic medicine has been practiced in India for over 5,000 years and is one of the world’s oldest healthcare systems. Utterly holistic in outlook, it differs from conventional Western practice because it treats every aspect of the human - mind, body and soul - to leave you with lasting good health and a feeling of deep wellbeing.
The philosophy that guides Ayurveda is that prevention is better than cure: if you look after yourself now you will face far fewer health problems in the future. However, it is also a particularly effective form of treatment for those suffering from existing conditions such as chronic fatigue, stress-related disorders, skin complaints, stomach ulcers, insomnia and weight issues.
The Hay Barn’s Dr. Suraj Dubey is one of India’s top Ayurvedic physicians. Previously Dr. Suraj has been responsible for the Ayurvedic institutes at a number of internationally renowned spas, such as the Mandarin Oriental Ananda in the Himalayas and the Oberoi Group of Spas. Before specializing in Ayurvedic medicine, Dr. Suraj qualified as a conventional doctor.
Hay Barn Signature treatment £155 (150 mins)
The treatment starts with a body brushing to gently stimulate the lymphatic system, followed by a cleansing head-to-toe salt balm to remove dead skin cells. After showering to rinse away salt, the treatment continues with an Indian head massage using nourishing oils. Your head is then wrapped in a warm towel to promote the scalp’s absorption of the oil, while your feet are exfoliated. The treatment uses wild thyme and focuses on the stimulation of key reflexology points to leave you refreshed and invigorated. Thai, kahuna and deep tissue techniques are then combined in a relaxing body massage. The treatment concludes with a facial cleansing, which includes lymphatic stimulation to ease puffiness and ameliorate stress around the eye. All the products in this therapy are completely natural and gentle on the skin.
Bamford Body treatment £100 (90 mins)
This full body massage uses Bamford Body products and a combination of complimentary therapies to nurture a holistic feeling of balance and calm. After a cleansing footbath, shiatsu energy work is used to restore the proper flow of energy throughout the body’s meridians. This treatment is combined with a firm rhythmical massage, which relieves stress to encourage mental and physical harmony. Reflexology applied to the pressure points of the hands and feet is then used to further encourage the reduction of accumulated stress. Hot essential oil compresses throughout the treatment draw tension from localised areas of the body. An Indian head massage, based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, releases accumulated stress held in the head, face, neck and shoulders. Bamford’s therapeutic aromatherapy oils, selected by the client in consultation with the therapist, will complement the treatment.
