The body massages are my absolute favourite treatments to perform as they are tailored to transform one’s wellbeing. They are truly unique. I enjoy receiving body treatments, especially if they include body scrubs. I love the nurturing warmth and cocooning feel.

The Optimal Body TriSerum is the best product ever. It has a luxurious satin-smooth feel, it’s softening yet nourishing effect is amazing for my dry skin.
Our wellbeing is so important; what are your top tips for living a healthier lifestyle?
I firmly believe that sleep does wonders for the skin. It is so important for the body’s optimal functions. A good consumption of water to aid hydration is also beneficial. Exercise to improve circulation and detoxification. A good skincare routine also helps to maintain healthy skin, especially when combined with a good amount of fresh fruit and vegetables. As cliché as it may sound, I believe a little bit of effort in paying attention to the body adds longevity to one’s life. Enjoy a healthy dose of sun exposure with protective sunscreen and reduce your sugar intake to prevent premature ageing. We should also make a conscious effort to prevent free radical damage caused by external aggressors.
Aside from the One & Only Spa, what is the best thing about Cape Town?
Cape Town is a gorgeous cosmopolitan city which is constantly evolving. It is the Design Capital. All sorts of street artwork is exhibited to tell a story, and showcase the talents of the people. The museums house the rich historic cultures of South Africa. Nestled between the Iconic Table Mountain and the Sea; there is an endless array of things to do. It is after all the city known for its Wine Farms, Shark Cage diving, Robben Island and Penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
