I've been so busy with school and all my free time is spent on our
eat outs. But, sometimes its good to pamper a bit. So one weekend,
our group decided to pay
Nuat Thai Tomas Morato a visit. We usually go out for some
eats but that day was special it was eats then pamper. =D
Nuat Thai Tomas Morato is located at the corner of Scout Limbaga and Tomas Morato just beside
Congo Grille. It was also opposite
Cerchio Grill & Lounge. Although the signage is located at the lower level, the spa occupies two floors to cater to their clients demands.
Since the first floor was full of clients, we were only able to view the second floor. It looked clean, elegant and cozy like a luxurious spa. We were told that celebrities frequent there too. As we glanced on their price list, we found out that they had a wide range of services for an affordable price.
The boys were easy to please. They wanted an aromatherapy massage and that's it. But for us ladies, we wanted to avail a lot more. Studying all day has made my back ache so I wanted to enjoy a full body massage. I also want a body scrub. I intended to get some natural scrub by the beach last summer but Kurt and I couldn't fit it on our schedule. My girl friends also want to avail of a variety of services. We were all having a hard time deciding when they told us that they have a "
Make Your Own Spa Experience" promo package.
We were all delighted because for 700 php or 1,150 php, we could already avail of three different services. We've been to other spas before and for an ambiance offered especially the partitioning of the rooms, it usually costs a thousand for a body massage alone.
To aid our decision, they had this little bottles were we could sample the smell of their scrubs. After a few minutes, we told them our options.
I chose the following package: (1,150 php - That's 150 php savings!)
- Asian Espresso Detox Body Ritual (600 php)
- 1 Hour Swedish Massage (350 php)
- Asian Espresso Detoxifying Foot Paraffin (350 php)
On the other hand,
Berylle availed of a somewhat similar package: (1,150 php - That's 190 php savings!)
- Royal Contour Body Ritual (650 php)
- 1 Hour Swedish Massage (350 php)
- Orly Manicure and Pedicure (340 php)
My friend
Sumi availed a different package: (700 php - That's 80 php savings!)
- Pomegrate Dead Sea Salt Foot Ritual (300 php)
- 1 Hour Thai Foot Massage (250 php)
- Kleancolor Manicure and Pedicure (230 pp)
After a few minutes, we were individually escorted to our own rooms where our pampering session awaits us. We entered into the stoney steps passing by several partitioned rooms.
Some of the rooms have the flat bed for Thai massages which requires a lot of stretching. While the other rooms have Swedish beds for the Swedish massage and body scrubs. They also have rooms with salon chairs and lazy boy chairs for their hand, foot and nail services.
Kurt was taken to a room with a flat bed for his
Aroma Therapy Massage. On the other hand, Berylle and I were taken to a room with plastic covered Swedish bed for our Body Scrub.
Aroma Therapy Massage (550 php)
The
Aroma Therapy Massage is a
1 hour and 30 min massagewith a mix of both Swedish Massage and Shiatsu. At the very end , a warm aromatic bean bag back massage was performed that soothed both the body as well as the mind.

Asian Espresso Detox Body Ritual
My therapist named
Siaska was very courteous. She asked me if the temperature of the wet towel was okay with me and I affirmed. Then, she applied some pressure and asked if that was also good with me and I likewise agreed. As she proceeded, I found myself relaxed in a half nap as I floated away with the calming instrumental music resting my body over the soft bedding. She first applied the cleanser gently and then the body scrub which was brushed all over my body. Then, my entire body was moisturized and coated with a mask. I was then wrapped and rolled for 20 mins. Now I know what a sushi feels like... It was kind of comforting. =p
After my detox, I was led to the shower area where I washed the white mask off my skin and prepared for my Swedish massage.
1 Hour Swedish Massage
The same therapist performed my Swedish Massage. This time, I found myself asleep except for the part where I felt some bone crunching. After our massage, I was asked if I wanted some juice or tea and I chose the latter.
Asian Espresso Detoxifying Foot Paraffin
After getting dressed, I was led to a room where the lazy boy chairs were for my foot paraffin. This was my first time to try it. My foot theraphist
Len gently massaged my foot and dipped some part of it into a wet liquid to ask if the temperature was okay. As I gave her the go signal, she continue to dip it into the clear substance which I soon found out was the paraffin wax as my foot turned white with its coating.
Now this scenario looked familiar to me... Ever watched "Wanted" where Angelina Jolie would dip her whole body in the wax wherever she was wounded? I never understood the reason for it until I researched using
Nuat Thai Tomas Morato's FREE wifi about it while detoxifying. =D It turns out that the paraffin treatment can help ease tense muscle and tissues making them heal faster and become softer. It has been used since ancient Roman times too.
My feet was then plastic wrapped and clothed into a foot mitten. And, it was left like so for about 20 minutes.
When
Len came back, she removed the plastic and the paraffin wax from my foot as if it was a sock. It was removed in one piece without any residue.
I couldn't believe how soft my feet was. It felt like baby skin. It was so smooth and silky. My feet also felt relieved free from all the walking and shoe pains.
As soon as I was finished, I checked out how my friend Berylle was doing and I suddenly envied her for her manicure. It was beautifully done.

It has a sign board on the corner of Tomas Morato but you have to go in a bit to Scout Castro to see it. 
They have a chalk board menu in you want to order from the counter. 
But, you can also order from you seat.
I has a really nice ambiance that my friends enjoyed doing their selfies. They have nice dangling soft yellow lights, chalk board walls and round wooden tables. The place also offers a fast and reliable WiFi.
On the second floor is a full blown nail spa. The lights can be adjusted to a dimmer setting so you can watch movies while getting pampered. You can bring your own dvds! They also have a few selections including what we watched: "The Vow". You can also order your drinks and snacks and have a tray dining set up.
First, my feet was soaked in soapy water. 
Making sure my feet was smooth by removing the dead skin...
I was asked to choose the scent. I chose Green Tea. 
It was applied on my feet.
My favorite part is the Foot Reflexology. I just love massages especially on the feet because I tend to walk a lot.
Last but definitely not the least is the Manicure. Thhey had a lot of color selections. They use prestigious brands like Orly too.
Sheena is very professional with her work. It was pain-free and clean. I highly recommend her. 
They also offer Nail Spa Party packages just inquire.
