Urban spa operator Shambala, meaning 'paradise on earth,' has opened its second spa location in
Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The concept was created by American-born Eric Thompson, and Brazilian Liza Rossi who left the US in 2009 to embrace the wellness sector. The pair opened their first spa in Lagoa da Conceição, Santa Catarina the same year.
Thompson previously worked in Hollywood as a sound mixer on films with artists such as Nicolas Cage, Mel Gibson, Al Pacino and Marlon Brando, while Rossi worked as an architect in the US on projects such as the Ritz Carlton Miami.
The spa's treatment menu includes a range of massages such as Swedish, therapeutic, ayurvedic, Thai, sports, deep tissue and hot stones.
Signature treatments include exfoliation facials with Germaine di Capuccini products, Energetic Healings with reiki and crystals and "Life Activation Healing ".
Balance, body and spirit and happiness spa packages are also on offer.
Guests are offered three different consultations on arrival: spiritual, floral and astrological.
The spa whose motto is, "beauty comes from within," also offers empowerment classes from the Modern Mystery School-a form of spiritual training.
The school's teachings aim for a deeper understanding of life and are deeply rooted in the old shamanic knowledge and ways of wisdom. The lineage of the mystery schools can be traced back 3,500 years ago to the time of King Solomon the Great.
