Happy birthday to you! While even your nearest and dearest may forget what day it is, the Harvest Moon Centre on Baggot Street sends its clients a little birthday card-voucher. None of your namby-pamby petal leaves here; the massages are the real deep tissue deal in this hippy holistic joint run by Peter Kane. It’s ciúnas from the professionals while they work to relieve a particular ailment or just give you a good overall rub.
The experience is deeply relaxing; they are so experienced at handling the body, sometimes it’s hard to distinguish where you end and your masseuse begins. Holistic facials and flotation sessions are also available. A 40-minute back, neck and shoulder massage is €50, while an hour-long full body massage is €70 and a one-hour flotation session is €50. Among other special offers, a one-hour full-body massage and flotation is €100. Harvest Moon is in the basement at 24 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2.
