ila opens day spa in the Cotswolds
POSTED 08 Jun 2018 . BY Lauren Heath-Jones

It was important for me to create a spa that would release pure energy and vitality and which would bring people back in touch with the beauty of the earth
– Denise Leicester, ila founder
Organic skincare brand ila has opened its first day spa in the UK.

Set in the British countryside at the company's headquarters in the Cotswolds, the three-room spa offers a treatment menu packed with 'soul nurturing' holistic therapies, including stress-relieving full body massages, youth-enhancing signature facials and quick fix treatments designed to deliver visible results in short spaces of time.

The treatments are designed as an antidote for modern life and combine a rejuvenating touch with ethical products and aromatherapy. Each treatment is accompanied by complimentary sound healing sessions featuring exclusive music designed by ila founder Denise Leicester.

Treatments include a variety of stress-releasing full body massages, such as Kundalini, Ku Nye and Potali Hot, and the youth-enhancing signature facials Renewed Recover, Gold Cellular and Anand.

Other treatments have been developed for exhausted guests. These, it is claimed, rebalance the Muladara, the root which anchors the body to the earth, and increase inner wisdom. During the treatment, guests will experience an Indian smoking ritual that is said to calm the mind and body.

"It was important for me to create a spa that would release pure energy and vitality and which would bring people back in touch with the beauty of the earth,” said Leicester. "It is the perfect place for guests to rest, relax and reconnect with nature."
