Lime Spa Signature Elements Massage

Leave the Stone Age behind and step into a deep sense of warmth and relaxation with heated bamboo sticks. A combination of gliding bamboo and hot stones provide the ultimate de-stressing massage using natural elements.   The heated bamboo glides along your body drawing out each area of tension, while the hot stones melt away stress.  Your senses will be heightened with this trip to luxury.  75/90 min $105/$125

Chinese, Indonesian, and Japanese festivals, rituals, and myths abound with bamboo symbolizing life energy, prosperity, longevity, sexuality, and fertility. In China, stalks of bamboo still symbolize eternal youth, strength, prosperity, and peace. What may seem like a new technique, bamboo massage, has ancient roots and perhaps deeper associations than simply bodywork. Today, bamboo massage is touted as Bamboo-Fusion, Tian Di Bamboo, or simply promoted at high-end spas as the latest in exotic treatments or for massage therapists as a new tool, but bamboo can be seen as much more than a new trend or accessory.

Bamboo massage is a technique that incorporates bamboo stalks of varying lengths and diameters to provide deep-tissue work. The massage itself promotes circulation, sensory nerve perception, and lymphatic drainage and provides a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

Bamboo Benefits

Stimulation of the tissue by the bamboo sticks is believed to relieve this “sluggish state,” by dissipating the heat that results from an accumulation of toxins and poor circulation, much the same as what would occur through deep-tissue work, trigger-point activation, or various acupressure techniques. Some recipients of bamboo massage have described these releases as a whole-body tingling or a warming sensation.

Bamboo Fusion

Growing in popularity worldwide, the Bamboo Fusion massage uses heated bamboo shoots of varying sizes that glide deeply across the body to relax soreness and promote mental and physical well-being. Created for clients who prefer a more intense massage, this treatment is ideal for both men and women because it strikes a balance between a deep tissue massage and a stress-reducing treatment. One version of the Bamboo Fusion Massage was created by Nathalie Cecilia. A petite woman, Cecilia was seeking innovative ways to improve the effectiveness of her deep tissue techniques. Her idea for the Bamboo Fusion Massage stemmed form the success of hot stone massages, which help to melt muscle tension, combined with her knowledge of Chinese, Indonesian and other Asian beliefs that hold Bamboo as a symbol of life energy, prosperity, longevity, and more.

By integrating heated bamboo stalks infused with oils into the experience, Cecilia was able to prolong her stamina for deep tissue massage and increase the benefits to her clients, who felt the advantages of a traditional deep tissue therapy, as well as a greater feeling of vitality, strength, and youthful rejuvenation. In fact, in China, stalks of bamboo still symbolize eternal youth, strength, prosperity and peace. The bamboo serves as an extension of the therapist’s hands, making the tolls seamless to use. When offering heat therapy in massage, it induces the relaxation response more quickly, creating a faster reduction of stress and tension within the tissue.

Bamboo Massage and the Five Elements

Another approach, Tian Di Bamboo Massage was developed by Ernesto Ortiz, LMT, CST. Ortiz incorporates principles from traditional Chinese medicine specifically the Chinese five elements theory, in which the principles associated with wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are applied to the massage technique. The massage uses bamboo cut in different sizes and the bamboo sticks are also used as an extension of therapists’ hands, forearms, and elbows, enabling them to work deeper and more effectively.

“[The] five elements have been used to describe our relationship to external and internal phenomena and to the overall natural process of life,” Ortiz explains. “Understanding these cycles and how they play out in our life and our body can bring us into a closer relationship with ourselves and the world around us and helps us understand how nature plays a role in our life and well-being. The Tian Di Bamboo Massage technique aims to apply an understanding of these five elements and develop an approach to treatment in accordance with one’s relationship to inner and outer conditions.”

Interconnected Gift

As therapists and clients search for new approaches to massage therapy, bamboo massage may be at the forefront, offering a basic solution: a technique that not only makes use of a renewable and sustainable resource, but also reconnects us to ancient approaches. This reminds us of what it means to be connected and interconnected–respecting our needs and those of the natural world that support those needs. This may be the gift that this seemingly simple material offers: strength, flexibility, and versatility, without depleting our world or ourselves.

“This is the best massage I have ever had.  The bamboo and stones are heated which feel so good as they glide over your muscles.  This is unlike any spa experience I have had.  Wow.”  Diana Reno Nv

Why Bamboo Massage?
One of the first people to develop a bamboo massage technique specifically for North American clients was Nathalie Cecilia, a certified Thai massage therapist currently living in Sarasota, Florida. Cecilia, originally from France, came to the United States five years ago. She discovered this approach when one of her larger male clients kept asking for deeper pressure on his upper trapezius muscles. “I was using a long bamboo pole to keep my balance when walking on my clients’ backs sometimes [during a Thai massage session],” she says. “As I was working on this gentleman in a sitting position, my eyes caught the two bamboo poles that I used for the back walking. I had the idea to use one of the poles for tapotement on his upper trapezius. So I stood about six feet from him, tapping on his shoulders with this long stick, and he told me that it felt really great.”

From that point on, Cecilia began developing new ways to integrate bamboo sticks into her practice, eventually using sticks of varying lengths and compositions, creating what she now calls Bamboo-Fusion massage. Shortly after she created this technique, other therapists started asking her how to incorporate bamboo sticks into their treatment sessions. Cecilia then created an entire massage routine using bamboo and rattan of different shapes and sizes. The routine is now documented and Cecilia is approved by the NCBTMB and the state of Florida to teach this modality to other therapists. She now teaches workshops across the United States and her technique is gaining popularity in other countries as well.

“While doing traditional massage, I experienced pain in my thumbs and wrists after only two months of opening my business,” Cecilia says. “The Bamboo-Fusion technique allows you to easily adjust the pressure, making deep-tissue work easy. I can effectively palpate using the bamboo and am able to easily locate muscle tension and treat trigger points. Using bamboo is now like a continuation of my fingers. There is also a beautiful quality to the material; it has a luxurious feeling and both you and the clients feel very energized and revitalized, but also relaxed. Aesthetically, I’ve also noticed that the skin actually becomes more supple.”

Cecilia’s approach incorporates a large 12-inch bamboo stick that she uses to knead the muscles and do a crisscross technique that stretches the fascia in all directions. She also uses two short pieces of bamboo, cut in half, the size of her hand, to work more specifically in smaller areas, such as under the scapula. Her technique includes the use of oil or cream when doing a full-body massage on the table. She warms the bamboo sticks in a special heating pad before using them on her clients. “The bamboo is easy to heat and clean, unlike with hot stones since there isn’t a Crock-pot or water involved,” she explains. “With the heating device I use, the bamboo stays warm and clients love the heat, especially in cold climates.”

What also distinguishes Cecilia’s technique is that her bamboo sticks are custom-designed and made from bamboo and rattan, both ecological and sustainable resources. “The small wood pieces that I have cut in half are made with rattan [a climbing palm tree], since rattan is solid. They also fit easily in the palm of my hand, which makes it easy to apply deeper pressure. For the larger sticks, I use bamboo, which is a great tool to deliver long soothing strokes.” Cecilia has her bamboo sets made by a local woodworker; in the early days, she actually created them herself.

“Emily is the best eyebrow waxer I have ever been to! I have unruly eyebrows and have always had to do my own plucking after an eyebrow wax to catch stray hairs. After going to Emily at lime for more than a year and a half, I am amazed at how perfectly groomed my brows are. I now schedule my eyebrow wax for every four weeks and don’t even look at them because they are so perfectly shaped and Emily never misses a stray! I have had my my lashes tinted as well and was very happy with the results. Lime also carries Jane lredale make- up which I love! I am getting my first facial at lime and can’t wait!”  ~Sharon Stephenson

“We went here after seeing the prices at our hotel. So glad that we did because it was a short cab ride away, the services were fantastic and the team bent over backwards to make sure we had a relaxing time. I did the hot toddy scrub – wow – smelled like a pecan pie!! Left my skin super smooth. Then the massage was probably the best I’ve ever had. She had me breathe essential oils of orange and peppermint which really relaxed me. Next i did a facial and I don’t think my skin had ever looked better!! I think that was the most tranquil facial I have had. Finally I had a manicure and my nails look awesome. I even got to drink a mimosa and felt super pampered the whole time. The decor in each room is straight out of a design magazine and made me feel really posh. I wish this spa was in Portland! If I ever have a chance to come back, I most definitely will. Thank you LimeSpa!”  ~Rachel Walsh

The champagne was perfect, and most of all, your decor is amazing!  My massage and facial were fantastic, and the masseuse was so professional and attentive.  I have had alot of treatments in other spas, but your spa truly gave me a rare treat yesterday.  I will be back, and so will my friends”  ~Rhiana Clark

“Emily from Lime Spa did my bridesmaids, mom’s and my makeup and lashes!  She really helped me coordinate the morning and keep the girls rotating from hair to makeup to lashes!  She knew a lot about how the morning should flow… doing my makeup in the middle so “the bride isn’t rushed, and can relax moments before.”  Everyone looked gorgeous!  I would highly recommend Lime Spa for all your bridal makeup!” ~Courtney Folgner

“If you’re like me and want to look like yourself but with a little extra for pictures go to Lime Spa for your makeup.  Emily did a wonderful job listening to exactly what I wanted.  She talked me into wearing false eyelashes but she recommended we do a trial run and I loved them so much I had her do my makeup for my engagement shots too!  She did my sisters and Mom too.  Everyone loved their makeup and looked great in the pictures!” ~ Mandy Thompson

“The service and über kind staff was the crowning cherry to the quality services we received.  My massage was excellent as masseuse worked out my tight neck and shoulder muscles.  The body scrub was much-needed after a long cold winter and that Bourbon Bubbler Kentucy Whiskey body scrub smelled so darn good.  My pedicure delivered the longest and most relaxing leg and food massage that included soaking my feet in rustic looking bowl in a beautiful sunny room with a cool afternoon breeze blowing by.  The facial was simply decadent since lotions were not applied to my face…they were massaged in!  Before my facial began, a lavender eye pillow was placed over my eyes, then I was told to take in three deep breathes and to relax into the facial bed as I inhaled the crispest Eucalyptus oil on the planet.  Oh My.  It was shear bliss.” ~Caroline Moasessi

“Brittany is a lovely person and makes me feel special when I come to Lime Spa for a facial treatment.  She is very professional and really understands the art and skill of being an esthetician.  She explains what the treatment will include and how my skin will feel, AND most importantly the results I will receive!  I trust Brittany and feel totally relaxed with her.  She is a great asset to Lime Spa.Thanks Brittany!”  ~Bente Riley

For Waxing appointments:

• Does it hurt?  The first wax appointment at Lime Spa more than any other time.  Why?  Because if you wax at Lime Spa regularly, you are removing less hair each time.
• Will the hair grow back thicker/stronger/darker?  Don’t bald men wish!  When hair is shaved, it is cut at the thick part of the hair, which is why you can feel stubble the next day.  Waxed hair is removed at Lime Spa from the root, and when the hair starts to grow back it is a new, very fine hair.  The only thing that stimulates hair growth is hormones.
• How long does the hair have to be?  3-4 weeks of hair growth.  If the hair isn’t long enough you will experience regrowth much sooner.  It normally takes 3 waxing appointments to experience even smoothness at Lime Spa because of the different stages of hair growth.
