I was visiting Sydney for about 5 weeks. As I was walking down King Street I noticed The Buddha…read moreBar. I checked out their website when I got back to the house where I was staying. Shiro Dhara- what?! I work as an Esthetician and have had a lot of massage treatments. I had heard of this treatment and always wanted to try it. If you don't know what it is check out their website. Booked my appointment with Trish. Let me say she did not disappoint. She was just perfect. So perfect in fact that I went back every week until I left Sydney. I so wish I lived closer! She just knew where I needed work done. Her hands instantly found those knots and tight spots on my upper back. She is incredible!!

I love the Buddah Bar (Clinic and Emporium), great service lovely browsing for oils and candles…read morethough my main aim here is to get a Massage. Jade Clark works here a few days a week and she is worth finding time in her schedule, book a few days in advance. Massage Acupuncture is the key for dealing with those stressful days and weeks.

I dunno about you guys, but when I think of Newtown, I don't think about therapeutic oils and…read morerelaxation therapies. That is, until I went into Pure Botanicals. Beautiful scents enveloped me as I entered the store. Their shelves are filled with their own brand of essential oils, bath and shower soaps, shaving products, and more. According to Pure Botanicals, their purpose is to make health care easily accessible, affordable, and supportive. With this in mind, the staff is extremely helpful in suggesting natural methods to enhance one's health and wellbeing. I had a great experience at the store. Their line of men's products smells great, as it is not too fragrant. I purchased a face moisturizer to try, containing comfrey and marshmallow herbs, rosehip and Vitamin E Oil. It's pricey--around $40. Not only do they have many products (and an online store!), but also their in-store clinic offers many alternative treatments, including hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and massages. A seasoned professional in the field conducts each treatment.

Oh hello my local smelly shop!…read more I had no idea these guys has remedial massage available, or regular massage. As well as naturopaths and other holistic medicine practitioners. I was referred here by a friend who got a massage and said that they were good. So being that my neck is causing me all kinds of grief I thought I'd check them out. I'm glad I did. I've been going here for about 2 months now and Glendon has worked wonders on my neck and shoulders. I may have even fallen asleep during one of his sessions, ops! My bad. He's lovely and his knows his stuff. All the appointments happen under the shop where there's a lovely couched seating area with tea and coffee available while you wait for your appointment and you can watch the world go by through the double glass doors as you wait listening to relaxing background music. Upstairs they stock a whole range of amazing things, from candles, to burn sticks to oils and tea. They actually stock from one of my favourite tea places in here which has delighted me no end. So if you're walking past and have never gone in, go in and have a wonder.
