So, so pleased to have Simone back at Skin & Tonic; she's so thoughtful and does the best full body massage I've ever had. If you're thinking that a full body is a bit pricey, I can tell you it's worth every penny.

The most relaxing facial I have ever encountered. I felt it was delivered so professionally. The therapist was gentle and ensured the atmosphere was conducive to taking my mind and body to a calm place. I wasn't hurried to return to reality and the juice shot was revitalising.
