Miracle & a spa



To help combat work stress, Gurgaon residents have another option in the recently opened spiritual spa — Miracle World Spa — in DLF phase IV. A combination of Buddha statues and bamboos imported from South Africa adorn its walls and corners. Its owner Geeta Dev Sharma says, “As soon as customers walk in here, we want them to relax in peace here. Their experience should be soothing so we have designed the interiors accordingly. Spa means to dip oneself in mud and meditate. And unlike other spas in town, we try to follow it in its essence.”
Juxtaposing the elements of earth, water and fire in its theme, the Miracle World Spa has two bamboo huts, beautiful spa rooms, beauty room, counseling rooms, hair saloon, and are building a hydrotherapy unit which would be functional shortly. It has an in-house academy to train the staff and each department has its own exclusive staff.
However, talking about the clients who are visiting the spa, Sharma says, “Right from top corporate honchos having back problems to even school and college students, all come here. Examination stress is a big problem that children face. We help them ease out stress with meditation and exercises. Our USP is that we have separate rooms for men and women and we have no cross massagers.”
A centre of excellence for Thai Yoga, Marma and sports massages, the spa also lets you experience all forms of massages using different aroma oils. However, there’s a Samaritan side to the spa. The money earned from here goes for treatment of the poor in Ajmer. “My spiritual guru is Baba Sahib Badam Shah of Ajmer. There’s a charitable hospital in his memory where poor are treated free,” Sharma says.
A legal-eagle by profession, Sharma has designed the interiors of the Spa herself, crediting designer instincts in her to her father who was a chief architect.
Packages start from Rs 1500 to 3500 per session and all kits used in the treatment are disposable. The spa at present is giving summer discounts and one can also opt for annual membership.
