Mind & Body Spa, Avalon, Northern Beaches

Spa Journeys

At Chakana, our Spa Journeys move through touch, skin, scent, warmth, water and sound.

They are expansive treatments created to give the body time – to be indulged, scrubbed, wrapped, bathed, warmed and deeply rested. Intuitive massage moves through each experience, becoming part of something larger.

Each journey has its own composition. Some work through clay, minerals and heat. Some through facial and body therapy. Others bring sound physically into the treatment through bowls, tuning forks and voice.

Come as you are. Leave feeling something else entirely

Please inform us if you are pregnant. We will happily customise any journey to suit your needs

Temple

Face + body + bathing + wrap + sauna

3 hours | $650

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

The ultimate experience – Temple is an expansive spa journey, one that gathers the essence of our signature offerings into one extraordinary treatment.

The journey begins with dry body brushing and mineral-rich salt exfoliation, working slowly across the skin before the body is covered in warm clay, aromatic oils and wrapped in heated linens.

Then, bathing. Time alone in warm water infused with one of our Ascend aroma blends, before returning to the treatment room for intuitive bodywork and a deeply restorative facial layered with bioactive vitamins, peptides and nutrient-rich botanical extracts.

The experience concludes in the warmth of the infrared sauna.

Three hours of skin, body, water, warmth and touch. You emerge luminous, deeply rested and completely renewed

Cadence

Bodywork + tuning-fork acupressure + sound

90 minutes | $395

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

Cadence brings Chakana’s bodywork and sound practice into one treatment.

It begins with dry body brushing and aromatic oils before the body is worked through intuitive touch, warmth and pressure. Weighted tuning forks are sounded and placed at selected acupressure points and along meridian pathways, drawing on principles of East Asian medicine and using vibration rather than needles.

Tibetan bowls are played on and around the body, their deeper tones felt physically as well as heard. Bodywork moves between the sounds – flowing, with warm stones and bamboo used where the body asks for deeper attention.

Acoustic guitar and original music from the Chakana Ascend collection move quietly through the experience.

For those who hold tension deeply in the body, or find it difficult to completely switch off. Cadence leaves you profoundly rested and altered by sound.

A treatment in which the body becomes part of the listening.

Cocoon

Warm clay body wrap + bathing + bodywork

90 minutes | $425

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

Cocoon layers warmth, earth and touch around the body.

Rhythmic dry brushing prepares the skin before aromatic oils are worked across the body and followed by a mineral-rich clay mask. Warmed linens wrap and insulate the body, holding the heat close while an unhurried scalp massage takes over.

Once the clay is released, you are left alone to sink into an aromatic bath.

The final part of the treatment returns to touch, with intuitive bodywork concentrated wherever it is most needed.

Warmth upon warmth. Beautifully conditioned skin, a quieter mind and the particular pleasure of being completely enveloped.

Elevate the experience with a petite facial.

Reveal

Body polish + bathing + bodywork

90 minutes | $425

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

Reveal is devoted to the skin of the body – brushing, polishing, bathing and nourishing it until it feels extraordinarily smooth.

A full-body dry brush begins the treatment, followed by a generous mineral salt exfoliation worked slowly across the skin. Botanical actives and vitamin C crystals bring the same attention to the face and décolletage, refining and brightening the complexion.

Then you bathe. Warm water, aromatic botanicals and time alone allow the treatment to change pace completely.

Back on the treatment bed, oils are worked into freshly polished skin through flowing bodywork, completing the journey.

You leave with skin that feels almost new – smooth, luminous and beautifully nourished from face to feet.

Many guests add an infrared sauna.

Restore

Facial therapy + back + feet

90 minutes | $375

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

Restore begins with the face and lets the treatment travel through the body.

A deeply hydrating facial layers the skin with advanced hydration and vitamin infusions, sealed within a replenishing bamboo sheet mask. Sculpting massage works through the face, jaw, neck and scalp before touch travels to the lower legs and feet.

The final movement belongs to the back, and shoulders, with warm stones and considered bodywork concentrated through areas of deeper tension.

For those times when tiredness is showing everywhere – in the complexion, across the shoulders and through the body. You leave fresh-faced, lighter and thoroughly restored

Many guests add an Indian head massage.

Mother’s Love

A sacred feminine

For pregnancy & Motherhood

90 minutes | $395

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

There are seasons when the person who holds everyone else needs somewhere to be held.

Mother’s Love was created for pregnancy, postnatal care and motherhood – a treatment centred not simply on the body becoming or being a mother, but on the experience of being mothered.

Warm oil cleansing begins the treatment, followed by unhurried facial work through the face, neck and shoulders. Particular attention is given to the jaw and scalp, where tension can gather almost without notice, before the work travels to the feet.

Then sound begins to take more of the room.

Tibetan and crystal bowls, resonance and voice surround the body as Mardi performs her original composition Mother’s Love – written around the unconditional nature of maternal love and the feeling of being completely held by it.

During pregnancy, the treatment is adapted around the changing body and comfort of mother and baby. Through motherhood, its meaning changes.

The person who spends so much of her life giving, carrying, watching, anticipating and loving is asked to do none of those things for a while.

She receives.

A rite of passage in which the mother is mothered and one of our most loved experiences for mothers.

Relax

A deep cleaning facial + Indian head & back massage + sauna

90 minutes | $350

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

Relax is designed for those who hold the weight of the world in their upper body. A flowing back massage is paired with warm stones to dissolve deep-set tension, while a deep cleansing facial restores radiance and softens the complexion. A soothing Indian head massage completes the release, inviting the mind into quiet.

The experience concludes in our infrared sauna – a therapeutic integration where heat penetrates deeply to ease muscles, improve circulation and stimulate detoxification. This final immersion grounds the body, sealing the benefits of touch and restoring balance from within.

Relaxation and recalibration.

Many guests add a foot massage

Revive

Full body massage + dry body brush + mini-facial

75 minutes | $315

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

A flowing head-to-toe treatment beginning with dry body brushing before moving into a full-body massage of rhythmic movement, considered pressure and long, restorative strokes.

The experience flows into a cleansing and brightening mini-facial, bringing fresh attention to the complexion and restoring luminosity to the skin.

A favourite for those who love the immersion of full-body massage with the added pleasure of facial care.

You emerge rested, revived and glowing from head to toe.

Elevate with an infra-red sauna.

Liberate

Sculpting face massage + Indian head massage + arm, hand, lower leg & foot massage

60 minutes | $255

10% surcharge applies on Saturdays

BOOK

An hour devoted to the places where tension gathers most. Massage done the Chakana way.

At the heart of Liberate is Chakana’s signature sculpting facial massage with extended massage through the décolletage, neck and shoulders, arms and hands, before working deeply through the face and jaw.

From there, Indian head massage moves through the scalp before attention travels to the lower legs and feet.

Pressure, rhythm and sustained touch work through held tension while bringing movement and vitality back to the face. You leave with softened features, a lighter head, a more relaxed jaw and the feeling of having been thoroughly worked from head to toe.

For those wanting more, add a 30-minute back massage.
