Acupuncturist Maureen Cromey returns to Six Senses Spa at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives

Following several previous visits to the Six Senses Spa at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives, acupuncturist Maureen Cromey has returned for another month-long series that runs until 23 April 2006.

During Maureen’s visits, guests have been delighted to discover that they could use acupuncture to treat problems which they had not had time to address previously, or that they were unaware could be helped by this medium. Many guests benefited from a course of treatments during their stay, with one or two weeks being ample time - in the relaxed environment - to make changes and receive advise on further treatments which would be of benefit after returning home.

Some guests used acupuncture to simply boost low energy and tiredness, enhancing the positive effects of the environment.
