Which massage for her
Every massage type costs the same, so the gift card works for whichever she chooses. A few ideas to help you write the message:
Swedish massage
Slow, flowing strokes and gentle pressure. The safest choice if she rarely has massages, or simply wants a calm hour and a good night of sleep.
Swedish massage →Deep tissue massage
Firmer, slower pressure on tight shoulders, neck and lower back. For the mother who carries the household, the laptop and the school bags.
Deep tissue →Pregnancy massage
For a mother-to-be, once her doctor has said it is fine. She lies on her side with pillows, and the pressure stays gentle throughout.
Pregnancy massage →Couples massage
Two therapists at the same time, so she can share the afternoon with a sister, a daughter or a friend in the same room.
Couples massage →Which amount should you choose?
AED 400
A 60-minute massage of any type. A thoughtful gift on its own, or alongside flowers.
AED 550
A 90-minute massage. The most relaxed choice, with time for a slower finish.
AED 700
A 120-minute massage for a long, unhurried afternoon at home.
AED 880
A 60-minute couples massage with two therapists, to share with someone she loves.
How to give it, step by step
Choose the amount
Pick the amount that matches the massage you have in mind, and write a short personal message.
Choose the delivery
Send it to yourself to print and put in a card, or straight to her email on the morning of 21 March.
Plan the date together
Agree a day and time with her, perhaps a weekend afternoon when someone else can look after the children.
She books
She chooses the massage, the time and the address in Dubai at www.rhea.ae, and uses the code at checkout.
Why a massage at home suits mothers
For many mothers, the hard part of a spa visit is not the massage but everything around it: arranging childcare, driving across the city, finding parking and rushing back. At home, she can put the children to bed, have a warm shower and lie down without going anywhere.
Your therapist brings a professional massage table, fresh linens and oils. She only needs a clear space of about two by two metres, in a bedroom, living room or on a shaded terrace. Afterwards the table and linens are packed away and the room is left as it was.
Every day from 8am to 10pm. A late session can end as late as 1am. That means she can choose an early morning before the house wakes up, or an evening once everything is quiet.
For mothers-to-be and new mothers
A pregnancy massage is given with her lying on her side, supported by pillows, with gentle pressure throughout. Please make sure she checks with her doctor before booking.
For a new mother, a massage at home can be easier than anything that needs a trip out. She can book a time around feeds and naps, and a partner or family member can stay in another room with the baby.
Add a little extra
When she books, she can add extras to the session, such as Aromatherapy (AED 45), Eye Mask (AED 45), Nourishing Ritual (AED 90) or Scalp & Hair Ritual (AED 90). If you want to cover an add-on too, choose a higher gift card amount and let her use the balance.
