Guests looking to soothe skin which may be troubled from their pregnancy will adore this calming experience. For the cherry on top, select the Premium Mum-to-Be massage to focus on a specific area and have the choice of an organic face mask that will leave your skin feeling velvety smooth.

D - For the more hands-on types, we’ve also got something for you! If you’re hoping to naturally care for your skin in the long-run, consider a Personal Coaching session with our facialist Emilie Céline. She will guide you through tips that are tailor-made for your lifestyle and provide you with an easy routine to manually massage your skin for brilliant results.

F- What do you get the person who has everything? A soothing wellness experience, of course! A Maison Ito gift card is the perfect option for friends and loved ones who deserve some rest and relaxation.

Customize your massage by choosing add-ons that target your skin issues.
