Caribbean Therapy by Aveda

March 18th, 2006

On the island of Martinique, inspirational plant therapist Martine St. Zéby creates rejuvenating rituals grounded in Caribbean tradition. Trained as a nurse, Martine believes that a lack of connection to nature can be at the root of feeling unhealthy. So she works heart-to-heart—opening body and mind to peace—creating integrative body care experiences that nurture feelings of harmony and well-being.
Her massage techniques work on the physical energy layer of the body, as well as the subtler mental and emotional layers. When she takes you by the hand into the mangroves and her garden, you emerge with a clear understanding that “plants answer all of our needs, asking nothing but respect in return.” Martine believes, and Aveda agrees: “a massage, unified with good thoughts, is a therapy full of life and meaning.”
Like Aveda, Martine finds her inspiration in nature—and in pure plant ingredients like Caribbean mango nut butter, ginger root and orange blossom. Our three-year collaboration with her brings you Caribbean Therapy: authentic spa treatments and body care products that embrace you in the healing feel of Caribbean mountain, sun, sea and air. Reconnecting you to the Earth—and yourself—with the power of touch and the life force of island-sourced plants. Find more on www.aveda.com
