What is a Terraké Earth Cocoon Ritual?
"A Terraké signature ritual treatment is an opportunity to temporarily escape from modern day life and immerse oneself in a totally pampering, relaxing and nourishing spa experience.
The luxurious and indulgent rituals devised by Terraké reflect the natural beauty of the Lake District with elements of earth, air and light, water and plant life and also use botanicals and essential oils to provide the ultimate spa ritual experience.
Guests can choose to take one of two paths - the Beauty Promise or Sensorial Promise.
The Beauty Promise is ideal to target issues such as sensitive skin, dehydration, ageing and is also excellent as a detoxifying treatment. If you choose the Sensorial promise, you can let your senses guide you in your decision of what your body needs.
At Armathwaite Hall, our most popular ritual is the Earth Cocoon Ritual."
Why should I choose a Terraké Earth Cocoon Ritual
Terraké is a luxury spa brand that takes inspiration from the origins of the earth, giving an experience of ultimate pleasure and relaxation. The concept of returning to the beginnings of the world, far from the pressures of modern life, is the ultimate refuge for today's spa client.
Ultimately, the rituals offer a totally immersing, sensory spa experience. The sensations of smell, touch and taste are combined for a relaxing, pampering, and most importantly, personalised top-to-toe experience.
What to expect during the treatment
An overwhelming sense of being totally nurtured and cared for. All of the senses are activated, stimulating the mind, body and soul.
The Earth Cocoon Ritual: This ritual features a full-body massage and a body wrap from Terraké's "Terra Magica" range, which focuses on the earth's harmony and warmth. The ritual is preceded by the Micro-Climate Cocoon, which relaxes you into your treatment and introduces you to the Terraké world of Terra Magica. The Micro-Climate Cocoon awakens the five senses of the body with gentle room lighting, a taste of Intense Spices Tea, the scents of the products, Terraké music and a relaxing shoulder and scalp massage. Your tensions relieved before the ritual begins, you will now be able to achieve the full benefit of the treatment.
Next, Terraké’s signature Terra Magica massage is carried out. By soothing, softening, stimulating and relaxing, it leads to deep relaxation of the whole body. Featuring stretching and kneading movements, sweeping strokes, palm pressures and specific movements inspired by earth and rocks, the massage movements evaporate tensions, and you will be left blissfully relaxed.
During the body wrap your body will be covered in geological mud (featuring mud rich in calcium and magnesium to improve skin tone) and delicate clay (rich in trace elements with toning properties and silicone to regenerate the skin). You will emerge from the Earth Cocoon deeply relaxed and in harmony.
What to expect after the treatment
This anti-ageing treatment is also re-mineralizing, leaving your skin toned and nourished. You will be left re-balanced and de-stressed. In essence, this is a totally relaxing experience leaving you with a feeling of walking on air.
Following the treatment, the therapist will leave you to relax. She'll then give you a prescription list of all the recommended Terraké products, together with home-care advice.
What makes a Terraké Earth Cocoon Ritual different from other body treatments?
Terraké body treatments offer a completely relaxing spa experience and provide a top-to-toe experience, regardless of whether it is a body treatment or facial. The rituals offer an immersive experience for all the senses and are designed to give you perfect results every time. The rituals will help to soothe and release muscle tension, smooth and polish skin, detoxify and address the effects of over-indulgence, calm or uplift a stressed mind – or a combination of all these.
