SensAsia Urban Spa is proudly supporting the global and local drive to raise awareness of breast cancer this October. With breast cancer still accounting for more than 30 per cent of female deaths in the UAE, and one in 10 Arab girls born today predicted to be diagnosed with the disease in later life, SensAsia is once again encouraging its clients to seize the chance to support this vital cause, while they improve their own wellbeing.
Having formed a strong relationship with Friends of Cancer Patients, across their 11-year partnership, SensAsia has created a bespoke treatment, embroidered neck pillow and essential oil for its 2016 initiative. Profits will once again be donated to the Sharjah-based charity, which has been fighting to improve the lives of local people affected by cancer since 1999, under the patronage of her highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi.
Known throughout the region for its exceptional massages, SensAsia has put forward a firm favourite to raise funds. A SensAsia client ‘must-try’ throughout the brand’s 12 successful years, Bali Chic is a trademarked, tailored and consistently popular 90-minute massage that combines long strokes, pressure point and Thai stretching techniques to de-stress the body and mind, zap tension from troubled spots and soothe the soul. For October, the treatment will be rebranded the Be Aware Bali Chic massage, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
SensAsia’s Be Aware Bali Chic Massage costs 499dhs – 10% of profits will be donated to Friends of Cancer Patients.
The SensAsia team has also lovingly-designed and produced a limited number of bespoke neck pillows in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The chic, black, delicately-embroidered pillows feature a beautiful pink ribbon design, along with tastefully-placed, empowering, quotes from iconic females such as Audrey Hepburn. The gift-perfect pillows can be heated and draped around the neck and shoulders to ease muscle tension at home or on-the-go – a process that SensAsia clients are offered, and often relish, after every treatment they take in spa.

To complete its Be Aware trio, SensAsia has also created a limited edition adaptation of its best-selling ‘Signature Blend’ essential oil. Combining a unique, uplifting mix of lemongrass, geranium and lavender, the oil bears a pink ribbon for October. A few drops onto a pillow, into water for use with a burner, or mixed with body products and applied to skin will provide an intoxicating scent, and immediate pick-me-up.
