Nova Holistic Spa

There is a point in a facial where the thinking stops ✨

It is usually not at the start. You lie down with the day still running, the list still going, and somewhere in the middle of the treatment your jaw lets go without you deciding to let it.

Facial massage works on the lymphatic system and on the muscle underneath, which is where a surprising amount of held tension actually sits. Jaw, temples, the small muscles around the eyes. Working through those areas encourages drainage and circulation, and it tells a nervous system that has been switched on all week that it is allowed to stand down.

Every facial here is shaped around the skin in front of us using corneotherapy principles and Dermaviduals, world renowned and award winning, medical grade, dermatologist approved and compounded on site. So the products change, the pressure changes, and the treatment moves with what your skin is doing that day rather than following a script.

Between the sauna and the hot tub, a cool rinse brings your skin temperature down without the full shock of the ice bath. It clears the sweat, resets the surface, and lets you go back into the heat and get something out of it rather than just sitting there overheated.

Skip it and the second round does almost nothing.
This is the rhythm the terrific trio is built around. Heat, rinse, cold, rest, repeat.

All three sit outdoors, so every round comes with fresh Tasmanian air and a little Vitamin D. Hobart's only outdoor, all-weather boutique Therapeutic Bathhouse, and the only place in Hobart you can move through all three.

Most infrared saunas run one wavelength. Ours runs three. ✨

Far infrared is the one everyone knows. It penetrates deepest, warms the body from the inside and is what drives the sweat and the nervous system drop you go in for.

Mid works into circulation and soft tissue.

Near sits closest to the surface, which is where the skin benefits come in, collagen production among them, along with support for your metabolism.

A standard infrared sauna gives you the first of those. Full spectrum gives you all three, which is why the same twenty minutes does more.

Ours also has chromotherapy and red light built in.

It is the only Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna in Hobart, sitting right beside the Magnesium Infused Hot Tub and the Odin ice bath in Hobart's only outdoor, all-weather boutique Therapeutic Bathhouse.

The fastest way to settle a nervous system is through the feet. ✨

There are thousands of nerve endings in each one, more densely packed than almost anywhere else on the body. Sustained pressure there sends a steady signal up through the nervous system that it is safe to come down out of alert.

It is also the part of you that has carried everything else all winter, usually in shoes, usually without a thought.

This is why we finish where we do. And why one visit feels good but a package of five or ten is where the shift actually holds. Consistency is where it's at, and everyone lands somewhere different.

Warm stone does something hands alone cannot. ✨

Muscle tissue does not release because you push harder. It releases because it warms up.

Stone holds heat far longer than a palm does, so it keeps working into the tissue while the therapist moves, and the muscle softens ahead of the pressure rather than bracing against it.

That means deeper work with less force. Most people find it easier to stay relaxed through it.

Our Thermal Stone Massage uses hot and cold, the same contrast principle that runs the bathhouse outside, just at a scale your shoulders can feel.
