MEET THE THERAPIST 

The Mistral Hotel is very pleased to introduce our new therapist for 2010, Aris Stratakis.  Aris is fully qualified in the art of Shiatsu, Massage and Stone Therapy and has been practicing for six years as well as teaching Tai Chi in Chania for over fifteen years.

Aris offers a range of treatments for both men and women providing an amazing experience with positive results.

SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a gentle but powerful Japanese form of healing art meaning "finger pressure".  It is based on the holistic system of traditional Chinese medicine where illness is thought to result from imbalances in the natural flow of energy known as Chi.

This form of massage brings about deep relaxation and can help with physical ailments such as back, neck or joint pains, stress and anxiety.

  STONE THERAPY

Hot and cold stone therapy is a kind of massage that uses treated volcanic rocks such as basalt and basinite that are believed to promote relaxation as well as eliminating negative energy.

The stones are carefully placed on the body's energy centres known as "chakras" which, once stimulated, balance the flow of energy throughout the body.  The placing of the stones is followed by a massage with aromatic oils which can be deeper and more intense as heat penetrates the body and relaxes the muscles.

It is believed that the combination of warm and cool treatment encourages the body to relax, detox and heal.  It can also help to treat conditions such as muscle pains, arthiritis, stress/anxiety, circulatory problems, insomnia and depression.

AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE

The use of fragrant oils for therapeutic benefit.  When applied during massage, the oils are absorbed into the skin producing a combination that can soothe, revitalise, uplift the spirit, encourage positive thinking and boost the immune system enabling the body to heal itself.

All essential oils are blended in Grapeseed base oil and the therapist will apply the best suited to your requirements.
