Relaxation at Mandara

Last April 7 I decided that after almost eight days straight of working since March 31st, I deserve a little break and the best break I know of is that of relaxing massage that I always like, But then I again I have no time to go to my favorite spa (Nature's Way located at 3rd Flr. of Robinson Galeria) as I still have work today, I thought to myself that why should I make it hard for me when in fact I can still enjoy the break I deserve without compromising and worrying that I maybe late for work as there was alot of spa around Global city that offer massage, So I've decided that I will make pass for now to my ever so favorite Spa and just go to the nearest one in the area . I have this spa that I been wanting to try ever since and that is  located right across the building where I work which is at The McKinley Residence's  Mandara Spa Relaxation.

Thre Mandara Spa who incidentally has the same name of the global spa management company MANDARA SPA that founded in Bali and now have 17 branches in different countries around the globe. Thre Mandara Spa on the other hand is according to the girl at the counter when I visit the place was a very much Filipino owned spa services. According to the companies website (http://themandaraspa.com/) MANDARA is derive from the two words Mana and Dara, which means mind and single line. According to a passage in a Hindu Mythology that serves the Gods by being the churning rod that mizes the ocean of milk, This mountain is not made of fragmented stones but a single connected structure. The meaning of the phrase was so deep and was hard to comprehend but as I did a little research the phrase "Churning of the ocean of milk" literal metamorphic meaning is a deep contemplation, churning of facts, analysis aimed at solution or conclusion. Somehow we can relate this to the relaxation that when our body is relaxed and well rested so is our mind, we tend to think clearly, contemplate about life and therefore makes a good decision.

The place is very cozy and the receptionist has assisted me is very friendly and accommodating  They offer ultimate pampering and relaxation with their own Mandara spa ritual style, Here are the services they offer.

Mandara Signature Ritual - A signature treats that uses all-organic aromatic oils and olive ingredients  known for its healing benefits.

Mandara Body Ritual - This rituals offers different style of massage such as Swedish, Shiatsu, Combination, their very own Mandara signature massage, Hot stone massage, four hands theraphy (This one will includes two therapists working together in rythmic tandem). The rituals also includes a traditional healing such as Authentic Hilot, Pre/Post Natal massage, and Ventosa cupping with hilot.

Chinese people believe that what the root to a tree is what the foot is to human body)

Mandara Face Rituals - This is services that centered with the face. The services includes Whitening Facial, Oil Control Facial, Non-Surgical Face Lift, Ageloc Galvanic Spa Facial,

As for me what I choose is their own Mandara Signature Massage that cost P800 for a 60 minutes full body massage that gives hard relaxing strokes all over your body and focus at your back where all the stress and colds are. Aside from that really relaxing massage one other thing I like about the place is you get to enjoy your very own privacy in a small rectangular wooden sliding room as oppose to other spa that only have a thick curtain partition also the shower room is good, though I wasn't able to ask if they have sauna room maybe next time when I come back but for now I get to enjoy the service and their hot tea after the massage that even gives you a much relaxing effects. It was indeed a relaxing experience with Mandara Spa and I like to go back to try their other services in the very near future.
