Pay R220 for a lymph massage, body wrap and Thai foot massage, valued at R570 (save 61%)

Few things are as awkward as being given a really bizarre gift.  There’s not that much to say other than a shaky “how interesting” when your last birthday present from Auntie Margret was a fluffy pink pig doorstop and now your Christmas present is a top-hat and jacket for said fluffy pink pig doorstop.  Avoid disappointment while giving yourself something you really need with a detoxifying lymph massage, body wrap and Thai foot massage at Lisa Raleigh Wellness Clinic for R220. 

The Lisa Raleigh Wellness Centre is the love-child of former “The Biggest Loser” trainer, Lisa Raleigh; a personal trainer and fitness renegade whose innovative and specialized health and wellness programmes are designed to encourage healthy living.

Banish those beastly toxins with a lymph massage; a treatment designed to induce lymphatic drainage.  If the term lymphatic drainage sounds to you like a sewer operation then fear not, there are no gutter rats here.  The lymphatic system is responsible for moving fluid throughout the body while moving toxins away from healthy cells, therefore lymphatic drainage is just a fancy shmancy approach to purifying your body and improving circulation.

Today’s Groupon also includes a purifying body wrap.  Channel your inner creepy-crawly and recline in a stifling body wrap only to be released from your cocoon as a beautiful (and slimmer) butterfly.  The body wrap releases toxins and stimulates your metabolism, leading to a happier and healthier you.

Now that you’re as pure as a Care Bear’s intentions; enjoy a stimulating Thai Foot massage by the friendly and professional beauty therapists.  A Thai Foot massage works on the energy channels on the soles of the feet and the lower legs and is said to promote general health and well-being – and it feels really good. The massage itself involves hands-on stretching and massage to “open”” the energy channels, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond with the internal organs of the body.  The treatment is effective in detoxifying, improving circulation, reducing stiffness, stress relief and clarity of mind.  

Foot fact: In Thailand, another effective detoxing treatment for the feet involves massaging them with a mix of honey and selected flowers from the local Petunia flower farms.
