We were skeptical. Is it possible to feel like we've just had a massage without actually having our muscles torn into by a strong set of hands? Couldn't be, we said.
And then we tried one of Baljit Rayat's services.
We first knew Baljit as an eco-chic fashion designer. We fell in love with her made-to-order bamboo jersey bubble dress ($100) – a collaboration with Nektar Designs. As Baljit explained, the sacred geometrical patterns on the dress gave off a special vibe.
That experience helped us prepare for what came next: Trying her Zenith Omega healing touch session ($100). The scented candles and the room's calm colours helped us relax from the start. Once on the couch, we could barely keep from nodding off as the minutes flew by. (According to Baljit, our communications-flow needed a clearing; and here we thought skipping a few e-mails was no big deal.) Emerging more peacefully, we immediately booked the Reiki ($80) to try next.
Massage!? That's so 2008.
