Another spa has opened! Nestled behind the latest fitness centre to hit the city – True Fitness – and among small boutiques and restaurants, is Zen Soul. You may complain, not another spa!, but Zen Soul does have its charms.

It’s a quick walk-up to the spa, and you’re greeted by the spa’s friendly manager, Joan. You’re seated and offered a drink. Your feet are washed by a spa assistant, and within seconds you are summoned to a private room for your massage. There are very few choices of massages, but perhaps it is as well, as the masseurs are experts in a particular treatment and you won’t end up confused as to what to choose. There are only three types (though Joan did say more would be added later) – Aromatherapy, traditional and foot, neck and shoulder massages.

Like all massages, this was restful and reassuring. According to the masseur the massage I had was a blend of Malaysian, Swedish and Hawaiian treatments. Truly a round-the-world trip!

If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up, Zen Soul is a good place to go. Great things come in small packages, as they say.
