In Sanskrit, wellness is translated as bhuti, after which Bingham Riverhouse’s new eco treatment space is named. Tucked away in Richmond, bhuti features an exclusively designed Aromatherapy Sound Healing Massage, a bespoke treatment that blends essential oils, sound therapy, and massage for holistic healing. Every session is personally tailored to support the guest in a serene, nurturing environment and embodies a fully holistic approach to wellbeing.
What is bhuti? A Wellness Sanctuary in Richmond
Sometimes we spend time wondering what might be missing in our busy lives. For many of us, it is about slowing down in order to refocus on our well-being and remind ourselves of the importance of self-care. In a world that values the materialism of influencers and the popularity of celebrities, many of us are searching for a different kind of place where we feel inspired and grounded; a place where we can find a serenity that will carry on through our daily lives. But how do we find this in today’s extraordinarily busy world?
Over the last decade, bhuti has been offering classes, retreat days, and events. Founded by Sama Trinder, who is a Senior Yoga Teacher and Energy Worker, bhuti’s newly created eco treatment spa in Richmond has now expanded the guests’ health journey. Here, one can experience a variety of nurturing treatments that bhuti offers, including their signature massage treatments, a holistic facial, an Oasis SoundBath, or time spent in an infrared sauna.
Unlike other entities that have chased a growing fad, bhuti has remained true to its roots and namesake as it continues to help people live better, healthier lives. It is a place that aims to create an experience that nurtures not only the physical body, but our soul, as well. By bringing the two together through holistic treatments, they focus on looking at the big picture of who we are.
Inside bhuti’s Eco Treatment Space at Bingham Riverhouse.
bhuti can be found at the Bingham Riverhouse, a boutique hotel which is an 18th-century listed Georgian Building by the river in Richmond. As I waited to begin my treatment, I wondered about what I was about to experience. What was going to set this treatment apart from others that I had experienced in the past?
When I was greeted by Rebecca “Bex” Maguire, I immediately relaxed as she brought me into bhuti’s treatment space. Once a bedroom at the Bingham Riverhouse, it has now been repurposed and a new wellness space created through a collaboration between founder Sama Trinder and designers Caulder Moore.
With its natural colour palette, soft furnishings, gentle lighting, and quiet energy, the serenity of the room was immediately felt when I entered. There is a soothing quality to their space, which could be described as a blank canvas where one can let go of their tension and worries. Bex rightfully called it a cocoon.
A Unique Spa Experience: Aromatherapy Meets Sound Healing.
As we sat opposite one another on two comfortable, large, plush chairs, Bex introduced me to the concept behind bhuti and the new treatment, which is a combination of massage, aromatherapy, and sound healing. What makes it unique is not only the decision to bring these individual things together, but bhuti’s delivery and approach, which is found in the energy of this carefully curated environment. The space has a natural serenity that others strive to emulate and achieve. Bhuti has done so with an elegance all its own. A lot of thought has gone into this, and it shows.
Focus is given to each individual in order to understand where they are currently in their day. This bespoke approach is created through the opening conversation. My one-on-one with Bex allowed her to understand a little bit about m,e and she was careful to inquire about my personal limitations and physical health.
The Role of Essential Oils in Emotional Healing.
Once Bex had a clear picture of who I was, I was introduced to three unique signature essential oils that are part of bhuti’s new treatment: i am still, i am love, and i am joy. Mixed by leading Aromatherapist Kay Saber, the high-grade therapeutic oils enhance the sensory experience based on their natural qualities.
At the beginning of the appointment, one is asked to smell each oil before choosing the scent that most connects with you. With every visit, it was mentioned that you can be drawn to the oils differently, and your affinity for one might change based on your current mood. I chose i am joy, which was then used in my Aromatherapy Sound Healing Massage.
Why bhuti’s Treatments Go Beyond the Physical
The massage itself was a serene combination of moving parts that sent me into a meditative state. With i am joy mixed with other essential oils, I rested on the massage table as Bex used sound healing along with the aromatherapy holistic massage to create a relaxing and healing experience. Through the input of legendary sound healer Anne Malone (Oasis of Sound), the addition of sound healing allows guests to drop into a deeply relaxed state where tension is released along with anxiety and stress.
After my session came to an end, I felt incredibly peaceful and relaxed as I was handed an herbal tea that coincided with my previous choice: i am joy. Bex was kind enough to sit with me as I asked her about bhuti’s other treatments that focus on the mind, body, heart, and energy of the individual guest. There are a number of treatments that complement one another, such as a TMJ massage, an Oskia Facial, a Gua Sha Facial, and Lymphatic Drainage.
It is obvious that each stage of the Aromatherapy Sound Healing Massage has been thought through by Sama Trinder, Kay Saber, and Anne Malone. By bringing together different aspects of individual treatments, bhuti has created a unique experience, which is due to both the treatment itself and the atmosphere in which you find yourself. Undoubtedly, it is due to the time and effort that have gone into the creation of bhuti.
