Swedish but Oakland-ish

Bamboo-Fusion Massage Bamboo-Fusion Massage

This deep tissue, full-body massage is rapidly gaining in popularity for its extraordinarily relaxing quality. The treatment begins with exfoliation, using our Organic Sugar Scrub and Body Gloss. Then, bamboo sticks steamed in essential oils are massaged into the body using a combination of rolling, sliding, kneading, and tapping. The heat is soothing and the firm, even pressure of the bamboo gently releases trigger points, increases circulation, and renews stressed muscles. The treatment ends with a blissful scalp massage. 60/90 min

Chus Ebako, Gente Bella master stylist and owner, has been directly certified by Natalie Cecilia, the creator of Bamboo-Fusion Massage, to perform this specialized massage.
