A new full-body massage that helps restore your karma and cut ties with things holding you hostage, both psychologically and spiritually, was too tempting not to try

When I think of the word “karma” I think about fate, doing good and “what comes around goes around”.

So when Lush’s Karma spa treatment came to my attention, I was intrigued.

What it involves

First, I was floored and felt I had found myself on an English countryside odyssey the minute I stepped off the lift onto the second floor of the Soho Square branch of Lush in Central.

The bustle of cool tunes and affable staffers melted away into birdsong in the spa’s welcome area, the design of which echoes that of an English cottage. I was told that the birdsong playing in the background is an original recording by the founder of Lush, Mark Constantine!

I was brought a hot cup of tea as I filled out my details while seated in the spa’s English-themed kitchen. I especially loved the vintage teacups and jars and jugs, and the beautiful glass containers filled with Lush soap bars for various occasions and moods.

The therapist took me through the entire process of the treatment before we started – I am to expect four hands at work on my body throughout the 65-minute treatment.
