Italian wellness equipment manufacturer Lemi has partnered with spa industry veteran and Tip Touch International CEO Jean-Guy de Gabriac to develop a new massage treatment to commemorate the brand's 30th anniversary.
Inspired by the ocean, the treatment, called Ocean Dream Massage, is designed to be performed on Lemi's Spa Dreams table, which features heated water cushions that make users feel weightless.
The movements of the massage, inspired by the flow of waves, combined with the peaceful ebb and flow of the water beneath, provides a tactile experience for the client, while the heat relaxes muscles, relieves pain and eases tension, and the movement of the water soothes the mind, and the cushions gently cradle the body.
de Gabriac said: "Taking care of our body is an act of self-love: a journey to reclaim our balance and enjoy our full-potential. I've been designing signature massages for cosmetic brands and hotel groups since 2004, so it was a pleasure to be given carte blanche by Matteo Brusaferi and his father to create an exclusive bespoke massage that celebrates Lemi's 30 years of innovation."
"The sensation of the Spa Dreams table is very pleasant, the undulating movement of the water in the warm water cushions massages the client's body from underneath, while the sensation of skilled hands combined with the nurturing sensation of the water, which comes in waves beneath the body, is very soothing and makes the client feel one with the water."
