As a mom of a three-year-old girl, there is very little time for myself. Between meeting deadlines for work, getting meals ready, dealing with tantrums and watching re-runs of Frozen… it can be hard to just sit down and relax. Which is why I think my husband thought a voucher for a Hot Stone Thai Massage at Ban Krachen Thai Massage & Spa was the best Mother’s Day gift ever.
Now I know Mother’s Day was over a month ago but I only got down to booking an appointment this week! So after finally slotting in this much needed massage into my very busy schedule, I arrived at the Ban Krachen Thai Massage & Spa in Bedfordview. It’s a small house, barely visible from the road, and on arrival, I immediately felt relaxed. While it was a rather chilly morning (and I think they could have put the heater on a little stronger) I switched off from the world – and the list I had to finish before 13:00 when I pick up my daughter from school – and got ready for my treatment.
Chum, the lady who was about to see how much tension I’ve been carrying around, greeted me with a smile and got started immediately. The room was quiet, with very soft music playing in the background. In fact, I could hear the hot stones bubbling in the pot more than anything else.
She was gentle yet intense… if that makes sense. Starting with my legs and making her way up to my back and head, she made sure to reach into every knot, relax every body part, and allow me 90 minutes of bliss. Something I had forgotten all about in the last three years – let’s face it, bliss to a mom is simply enjoying a cup of coffee while it’s still hot.
Once she was done, and let me tell you I was not ready to leave, I was given a cup of traditional tea to enjoy. I promised to treat myself at least once a month. From Aroma Therapy to Thai Traditional Massage And Hot Compress, to name just a few of their treatments, this cosy little spa – which is open seven days a week – has plenty on offer. Go on…. treat yourself, you’re worth it!
