Putting on the Ritz
I’ve always been intrigued by the
circus. And being that Sarasota is the
winter home of the Ringling Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey Circus, I
promised myself I wouldn’t leave until
getting stepped on by an artist. Let me
clarify. It’s a good kind of being walked
on. Soft, plump feet applying just the
right amount of pressure into your back,
as the artist (or in this case the massage
therapist,) hangs from silk drapes and
performs magic. It’s the latest and
greatest spa service called the Aerial Silk
Massage being offered at the luxurious
Ritz-Carlton Spa, Sarasota.
“This treatment may seem
unconventional to a casual spa guest,”
said Veljko Savic, Spa Director, “but the
use of body weight and gravity of the
therapist make the Aerial Silk Massage
the best way to get a true, deep tissue
treatment and body realignment.”
If facials are your more your speed, try
the HydraFacial® It’s like a facial
without all the heavy creams and
masks. If you’ve got dry skin and could
use a fresh outlook, you should take the
plunge. Water jets, infused with
nutrients, reduce fine lines and wrinkles,
and give you that “I just slept for 20
hours and feel great” look.
