CALIFORNIA WILDFLOWER MASSAGE Southern California nurtures a bouquet of healing flowers that serve as the inspiration for this restorative 90 minute massage. Inhalations of floral essences invite relaxation before a heated flower compress massage soothes and relieves aches and pains. A therapeutic massage then renews while a specialty neroli flower scalp massage eases tension throughout the body.
