Mandara Spa
Over the years, Mandara's founder had a vision to create a place of great beauty and harmony, a place where individuals who shared a common desire to be of service for the healing of people could come together to offer their gifts. She wanted it to house an energy of tranquility and beauty so the senses could be renewed, to be a peaceful place where people could reconnect with their essence.
This vision has evolved into Mandara Skin & Body Spa.
Mandara invites all who feel drawn into our healing space to come and allow some time away from the pressures of life and to breathe in the sacredness of self care and love.
We would love to know what you think about us
