We underline the significance of self-perception and daily practices, through the Four Humour elements; fire, air, water and earth.

Four Humors Elements

Fire represents heat, light, digestion, metabolism and transformation. It fuels our sense of independence and motivation.

Air represents all forms of motion, including blood circulation, breath, thoughts, and locomotion. When in balance, air gives off light and a sense of buoyancy;

Water is soothing, cleansing, sustaining, and nourishing. The water element helps us connect to our feelings and emotions.

The earth element is cool, heavy, rough, and stable. It also represents the structures of our bodies—bones, flesh, skin—and helps give us shape. These elements are incorporated into our Face, Body and Beauty treatments.
