Ancient Time Capsule: For the feet, face and body.
at Millefleurs Spa Mondial

In the center of New York's hottest shopping Mecca is a hidden oasis. Millefleurs Spa Mondial, on 64th St. off Madison Avenue,  provides a peaceful, yet exotic environment. Millefleurs has a very Moroccan feel with varying decor in every room. Antiques and artifacts give each room their own special flavor. My favorite room was the Couples Room with side-by-side beds and candles everywhere. With the convenience of this spa being opened 'til midnight, you can treat you and your loved one to a full pampering! Now that's my idea of a great date!

This full-service spa offers waxing, manicures, pedicures to body work. For those looking to lose weight or just tone-up,  there are herbal body wraps. A food education program is also available as well as acupuncture. Gina, the hands-on owner, has an impressive resume with 25 years background in massage and 18 in acupuncture. Gina is also an expert in Chinese and Japanese natural food cures.

With soft lighting and North African traditional incense burning, I excitedly awaited my service of choice, the Ancient Time Capsule. The Ancient Time Capsule is a splendid trio focusing on the feet, the face and the body; reflexology, facial, and body wrap respectively. All three treatments are done at the same time; a great saver for any New Yorker on the go.

Before the wrap, the therapists used a full body brushing technique to open your lymphatic system to allow maximum absorption of the herbs and minerals. Then I was wrapped in a cocoon of towels soaked in 111 different herbs and minerals that absorb into your tissue for bodily healing. If you have never had a aromatherapy body wrap before it is quite an incredible sensory experience.

While in my wrap, I received foot reflexology to open specific energy points of my body, creating a feeling of complete relaxation. At the same time, I was given a facial with botanicals and aromatic plants that cleansed my pores and removed dead skin cells. Receiving all three treatments at the same time was really fantastic and certainly the way to be pampered like a queen.

With the New Year here, I would highly recommend that you make a resolution to pamper yourself at Millefleurs Spa Mondial. I left feeling like a new person for the new year; cleansed of toxins, open, relaxed and a little lighter on my feet.

Treat yourself or a loved one, or even throw a bachelorette party with friends. This is a place where you feel special and beautiful from the moment you enter. From the music to the decor to the attentive staff,  Millefleurs is a journey that shouldn't be missed.
