Li’Tya – Spa care from the Australian Dreamtime
09/09/2009
A Li’Tya spa experience is more than just a spa treatment. It is in itself a journey through 40,000 years of dreamtime offering a rare insight into the culture and traditional healing qualities of Indigenous Aboriginal Australians.
Li’Tya, meaning “of the earth”, is a product range grounded in indigenous Australian dreamtime culture combined with other modalities such as herbalism, colour therapy and aromatherapy.
The Li’Tya Spa Experience is revered, respected and enjoyed in spas across the globe for its dedication to excellence and truly holistic, performance based techniques for caring for the individual inside and out.
A Li’Tya spa treatment focuses on the body as whole – mind, body and spirit. Every treatment begins with a smoking ceremony – the ritual burning of O’yarrorng moss and lemon myrtle – and all products are based on indigenous Australian plants and bush flower essences, including rosella, lillypilly, guangdong, macadamia nuts, blue gum honey and wattle seed. The spa range includes face and body cleansers, toners, herbal, clay and mud masks, hydrating treatments, exfoliants, polishes, body wraps and eye and foot treatments. The range also includes products especially designed for mums to be.
All Li’Tya treatments and products are 98.5% natural and wherever possible the company sources organic ingredients. Most of its native plants are sourced from Australian Indigenous Foods – a co-op that buys from Aboriginal communities throughout Australia. In addition, a percentage from all Li’Tya profits is channelled into bolstering Aboriginal culture and education.
Pinctada Cable Beach, Broome’s newest spa resort, features Australia’s only Li’Tya concept spa. Encircling a sparkling courtyard with a relaxation plunge pool and custom crafted Pinctada daybeds, Pinctada Spa is an oasis created to nurture, revive and rekindle.
Here, the experienced spa therapists will welcome you with a sense of calm, a cup of Yulu herbal tea, a footbath - and, a smoking ceremony. The earthy aromas emanating from the carved coolamon evoke a sense that this experience is something different- and, special.
The Pinctada Spa’s extensive treatment menu features the full range of Li’Tya Spa Care. Reflecting its location, the treatments are from the earth, the sea - and the Kimberley. The stones in the Kodo massage are gathered in Kununurra, the gateway town to the East Kimberley - each month their spiritual powers are replenished under the light of the full Kimberley moon. The sea treatments include Pinctada maxima, indigenous to the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean off the West Kimberley town of Broome.
