Aurora Spa Retreat in the Prince Hotel, St Kilda, in Melbourne, Australia, is to launch a new Crystal Balance Massage inspired by ancient Tibetan philosophies and Australia's Kimberly gemstones region, on 1 November.

The 1.5-hour treatment combines crystal point therapy – using Red Jaspar, Tiger's Eye, Lapis Lazuli and Zebra Stone – in conjunction with massage to enhance energy flow and balance.

Lyndall Mitchell, Aurora’s founder, said: “Crystal therapy gives us the opportunity to go deeper.

"The introduction of our new Crystal Balance Massage is a sensory journey that goes beyond the current treatment regime. Our Crystal Balance Massage is the beginning of a new era in spa therapies.”

Crystal point therapy has seen a revival in recent years as complementary healing increases in popularity. Details: www.aurorasparetreat.com
