Special events like Mothers Day always leave me in a tizzy, as I agonise over what gift I should give the most important woman in my life. After all, who can put a price on a mother's love? How can we presume to reward someone who has not only given us the gift of life, but who has loved and nurtured us through our childhood, tolerated us during our tumultuous teenage years and mentored us (though her heart may have been aching to let go) as we strike out alone in the big wide world, as young adults? We can't. However, while we can express our affection throughout the year in our words and deeds, Mothers Day provides us with a special day when we can focus on pampering our mums in a more extravagant and sumptuous way. While old-time pressie favourites such as chocolates, flowers and perfume always go down well, this year, in my quest for the perfect Mother's Day gift, I decided to explore something a wee bit different, and found myself on the doorstep of Cove Spa in South Perth, one of our city's foremost day spas.



Established in 2002 by proprietor Jocelyn Derecourt, the Cove Spa specialises in a wide variety of delightfully indulgent spa treatments including massages, aromatherapy treatments, facials, corrective care, relaxation retreats and much, much more, each sensitively tailored to suit the unique needs of the individual client, and administered by a staff of highly professional and experienced therapists. Situated in a peaceful location at the corner of Tate and Angelo Streets, the ambiance is warm, friendly and very relaxing: a perfect refuge from the noise and stress of everyday living.



To celebrate Mothers Day, this year the Cove Spa is offering a special treat just for mothers: a 'Choose Your Own Day Spa' experience, in which they are treated to a sensational smorgasbord of sensory delights, based on their personal needs, current emotional state, life situation and health issues. It's a gift that's guaranteed to please, as every woman loves to be pampered. However, many of us are so caught up in our daily lives and caring for others, that very little time is left to nurture ourselves. For this reason, a spa treatment at the Cove Day Spa makes the perfect Mother's Day gift.

My visit to the spa to test out the Mother's Day package was absolutely awesome and something I'd recommend to anyone. Although I was initially a little hesitant and nervous (I'm one of those women who never makes time to pamper herself, and therefore it was my first visit to a day spa), under the friendly, down-to-earth guidance of Lis, it didn't take me long to relax and unwind.



First of all, clients change into a sarong and robe, and are then escorted to a sitting-room to fill in a couple of questionnaires, while sipping a cup of Cove's signature spice tea: a delicious caffeine-free blend of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. Created by the spa's experienced therapists, the goal of these questions is to ascertain the needs of each and every guest to the spa so that the treatments they receive correspond perfectly to their needs, while not aggravating any pre-existing issues such as heart conditions, diabetes, varicose veins, allergies or back problems. In their responses, guests can also express what they'd like their treatment to focus on: for example, detoxification, enhancing life balance, or simply the release of stress. Although it may seem like a lot of paperwork when all you want to do is chill out, it's important to remember that all the questions ensure the high-quality personalised service that the Cove Spa is so well-known for.

Once the forms were filled in, Lis showed me to the Spa's Infra Red Sauna where I spent twenty-five minutes, relaxing and perusing the magazines, while it worked its magic. Treatments at the Cove Spa generally begin with a stint here, as Infra Red saunas are much lauded for their role in detoxification and enhancing the results of other subsequent treatments.



Leaving the Infra Red Sauna, I was then escorted to one of the treatment rooms, where I was pampered with a wonderful massage, while soothing relaxation music played. In my consultation I'd mentioned that I'd been feeling a bit tired and run-down recently, and therefore Lis had suggested a mix of energising essential oils that would be beneficial for me. As I was already somewhat familiar with the power of aromatherapy oils, I readily agreed and was impressed by how their use in my massage treatment really enhanced its effect. It was also very interesting to see how the responses I'd provided in the questionnaire was expertly addressed in the custom-made treatment I received. As an added bonus, I also received a relaxing foot treatment and was astounded to discover my dry, cracked heels disappear to reveal smoother, infinitely more youthful ones.



After concluding my treatment and getting changed, I returned to the sitting room for a quick chat with Lis. While I'd opted for the one-hour personalised treatment (valued at $130), she explained that this fabulous Mother's Day package is also available in a two-hour ($245) or three-hour ($360) format. These are purchased as gift vouchers (available until May 14th 2014), and can be redeemed over the next eighteen months. Although the three options vary in the amount of treatment time, what they all have in common is that each is custom-made to the unique requirements of the client. While obviously more can be included in a three-hour treatment, as I discovered, even a quick one-hour spa treatment is an energising uplifting experience, in which much can be incorporated.

Regardless which package you opt for, each Choose Your Own Day Spa Experience includes, along with the treatment: a 25 minute Infra Red Sauna for detoxification and enhanced results, a professional consultation to ascertain which treatment is ideal, a delicious sorbet during the consultation, a cup of the Signature Cove mixed spice tea and a wonderful goodie bag, upon completion, with product samples and a $20 gift voucher towards a future visit.

The Cove Spa won the Australian Beauty Industry Awards 2013 for Best Customer Care, and based on my experience there I must say that I'm not surprised. The mood was wonderful, and even though it was my first visit and I was feeling rather nervous, Lis helped me to relax and feel right at home.



In a nutshell, if you're pondering about how to thank one of the most important women in your life this Mother's Day, why not consider one of these fabulous 'Choose Your Own Spa Experience' packages from the Cove Spa? Of all people, mothers are generally the most self-sacrificing: so busy attending to the needs and desires of others that they neglect themselves. Therefore, to demonstrate your gratitude for all your mother has done for you over the years, why not indulge her with the ultimate pamper package, one that acknowledges and nurtures the truly unique woman she is.

Cove Spa is situated at 47 Tate Street (corner of Angelo Street) in South Perth. Plenty of free street parking is available within easy walking distance, and a bus stop is just metres away.
