NEOM products have always been a permanent fixture in my home, from the divine candles to the room sprays and body oils. In fact my wedding featured their Real Luxury candles on every table. So you can imagine my excitement when the flagship store in Wimbledon began to offer Wellbeing Spa Treatments. Walking into the NEOM store is like entering a magical fairy wonderland, which smells of heavenly scents.
On the treatment room doors you will see signs such as “Learn to be calm and you will always be happy”. The treatment starts with a Science of Scent Therapy test. Four candles lined up, you breathe the scents and decide which one you are most attracted to. The science being that your body knows best what your mind needs most. Kinda like speed dating but with candles! Depending on which scent you choose, you will either have the Sleep, the De-Stress, the Energize or the Happiness treatment. Not surprisingly, I was attracted to candle number one, which turned out to be my wedding candle Real Luxury meaning I was destined for the De-stress Treatment. According to research, by 2020 the top 4 diseases will be stress related, so this was very welcome indeed. My wonderful therapist Emma explained that I would first encounter a unique guided meditation designed for my treatment. What a unique and revolutionary way to de-stress. The meditation guided me to breathe deeply and before I knew it I was floating in the ether experiencing the most effective of 6 therapies – meditation, shiatsu, cranio, Thai massage, trigger point and reflexology.. Emma used melted some candle oil, including lavender, jasmine and Brazilian rosewood leaving me no choice but to calm my mind. De-stress sprays were used, and the use of trigger points and reflexology sent me into scent heaven.
