The one thing that takes a backseat after becoming a mother is the leisurely grooming sessions at the spa. Running after the toddler, taking care of her needs and constant time-crunch usually means putting spa and beauty treatments on the backburner. While there are home services that one can avail of, the lack of professionalism and a touch of luxury is missed.
Last week, we had something to cheer about when we booked a spa ritual with MyGlamm, a luxury at-home beauty service company that has started operations in Delhi after a successful stint in Mumbai and Pune. After going through a range of home care rituals, we zeroed in on relaxing Aromachologie massage by L’Occitane. A lady with lovely smile arrived at the doorsteps at the appointed time.
Within minutes, Kalsang Dolma, the therapist, set the room up, complete with protective sheets, while handing over disposable clothes to be changed into.
Before she began the ritual, she explained about the techniques and Aromachologie essential oils—a combination of lavender, tea tree and geranium—that ensure complete relaxation. The massage started with light Swedish effleurage strokes.
Using long sweeping strokes, she massaged the body. She also alternated between sweeping strokes and firm yet light pressure using her fingertips, constantly asking if the pressure was fine.
The massage helped easing the knots and tension in the muscles that tend to develop due to stress and constant working in front of computers. She then used Chinese acupressure techniques to press the points relieving the body of pain and light sprains. The final step was the Balinese massage that helps in stimulating circulation and ease tensions. The ritual can be enjoyed in the privacy of our homes without having to bother about stepping out or rushing back home to the child.
The best part was enjoying the treatment with music in the background. We paid `2,500 using a cheque. One can also pay through its app or make cash payment. Simple, mess-free, hassle-free are the words we will use for the experience. An SMS keeps you informed about the payment and feedback.
The company also offers high definition brows, NovaLash eyelash extensions, rituals by Forest Essentials and Biotique, bridal makeovers, apart from usual beauty services. One can simple make a booking at their website (myglamm.com) or through their app.
