Combat Stress with the help of The Bamford Wellness Spa

Stress Awareness Month is in full swing and at Brompton Cross we are blessed with many wellbeing experts to help relieve the strains of life. None more impressive than Bamford Wellness Spa on Draycott Avenue. A sanctuary of calm, designed to recharge, restore and nourish the body, mind and spirit. Inspired by their original location in the Cotswolds, nature is a key feature of this spa, offering three pillars of BAMFORD’s wellbeing philosophy; Move, Breathe and Heal. Spread across three floors, experience BAMFORD’s facials, infusions, skylit studio and retail space.

We have chosen our favourite treatments, classes and treats to help combat stress all available at the Bamford Wellness Spa.

Breathwork 

A technique of breathing that brings about deep states of embodied healing. This circular breath guides you on a journey, connecting you to your inner self, exploring this relationship and working out what you may be in need of. The tempo and depth of the Conscious Connected Breathwork fluctuate to evoke different energies and emotions, helping you to process them through the body.

Sound Therapy

A practice which uses frequency for healing. The body conducts sound through the auditory nerve in the ear and through the physical container of the skin, tissues and cells.  Sound is effective at quickly shifting the brainwave state, making this meditative experience an accessible way to reach a place of calm – even for the busy mind. Various instruments are used, ranging from the symphonic gong to crystal singing bowls, creating soothing harmonies as you lie down, relax and receive.

Online Classes

For those who can’t get to Brompton Cross, Bamford have created a virtual class schedule with our Bamford Wellness Spa practitioners in the Cotswolds. The daily class schedule is live streamed by their team of wellness practitioners and can be practised from the comfort of your home. Browse and book your place in a Pilates, hatha yoga, breathwork or mindfulness class.

Bamford De-stress Massage 

Focusing on the back of the body, this massage eases tense muscles and reduces stress levels while restoring and realigning energy. The treatment starts with an Epsom salt foot bathing ritual to draw toxins from the body and allow it to absorb magnesium to help reduce inflammation. Shiatsu pressure points along the body release tension and balance energy flow, followed by Swedish back and leg massage to help improve circulation. The treatment finishes with a relaxing reflex zone foot therapy. 60 wonderful minutes of calm.

Wellbeing Facial 

A bespoke 90-minute facial that targets skin health from the outside-in. Abdominal massage helps to improve gut health and digestion and release emotional and physical stress: symptoms which can manifest on the surface of the skin.  Gua sha and firm facial massage are used to ease muscle tension, support lymphatic flow, and reduce puffiness in the face, neck, and décolleté. The Wellness Facial is designed to be adjusted to suit the needs of you and your skin, allowing your therapist to spend time treating the areas that require more attention. Post-treatment benefits include more energy, glowing skin, and an improved sense of well-being.
