PURE MAUI ANNOUNCES LUXURY SPA RETREATS FOR THE DISCERNING TRAVELER

MAUI, HI – April 2007 – Think brilliant sunsets, island healers, private chefs and multi-million dollar estates that become your home away from home. This, essentially, is Pure Maui, the newly launched customized luxury spa vacation company based in Wailea, Maui.

Following in the footsteps of its highly successful sister program, Pure Kauai, Pure Maui’s spa program is geared to challenge its guests with daily activities such as private yoga and Pilates classes, personal training sessions, guided hikes and beach runs and, of course, surf lessons. All yoga and Pilates and spa treatments are done in the comfort of the guests’ villa, virtually a “private hotel,” lending a secluded and serene ambiance in which they can truly unwind and become physically, emotionally and spiritually centered.

Known as one of the worldÂ’s spiritual epicenters, the Hawaiian Islands are said to bring inner peace, clarity and spiritual healing to those who visit. Pure Maui has enlisted the assistance of an array of MauiÂ’s most talented island healers who have mastered the art of massage and body / facial treatments. Through their skilled movements and by utilizing local, fresh ingredients such as mango, ginger, coconut and Hawaiian sea salt, Pure MauiÂ’s gifted therapists nurture guests daily to ensure they leave the island relaxed, healed and rejuvenated.

Pure MauiÂ’s most innovative therapy, created and performed by massage therapist Rebecca Goff, is the AquaCranial Therapy.

Rebecca, who is a marine naturalist, developed this therapy by studying the behavior and movement of marine mammals and combined it with John UpledgerÂ’s craniosacral manipulation technique, which uses precise and gentle touches to improve the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The treatment, which is done in water, utilizes gentle pressure to the bones of the scull and along the length of the spine which allows the bodyÂ’s natural healing process. The movement of the waves and currents accentuates the therapistÂ’s cranial sacral strokes.

During whale watching season, Rebecca, who is an active member of the Pacific Whale Foundation, a non-profit conservation program to protect HawaiiÂ’s marine life, will bring her Pure Maui clients out in to the ocean to perform the therapy close by to whales. It is said that the underwater vibrations made by the whales is very healing for humans and can further enhance the benefits of AquaCranial Therapy.

When it comes to dining, Pure Maui’s spa guests will indulge in only the healthiest, fresh cuisine prepared in the comfort of their “private hotel” by one of Pure Maui’s personal chefs. Guests can create their own menus or let the chefs surprise them each day with their creative delicacies. Gourmet picnics and snacks are also prepared for guests daily to take along and enjoy on their outdoor adventures.

Packages such as the Adventure Boot Camp, a hard core retreat geared to jump start weight loss and fitness regimens, are available or guests can have Pure Maui customize a more gentle and soothing program incorporating light daily exercise and multiple spa treatments.
