I walked in - worn, battered and old; I came out new, rejuvenated and young! That's the aftermath of my weekend pampering from APSARA Katoomba recently. It was a surprise pre-birthday package my girls wrapped up for me. Though my 70th is void of glassy clink-clank cheers to my name, the luxurious gift did the sound itself.

APSARA is nestled in the tranquility of a charming country cottage in The Blue Mountains. Inside, the wafting aroma from candlelights made the ambience mystical. Gesine, as beautiful as a fern gully fairy, waved her magic wand to welcome me with warmth smile and friendliness that dispelled all apprehensions till her soothing hands started to work their way around my tensed and tired body.

I'd a massage before, but nothing can beat her buttered adroitness in kneading my muscles with firm tenderness which lulled me to sleep. The background music were sounds coming from the forest far away. It made me forget where I was. The feeling was dreamy, relaxing and stimulating. I kept my breathing in rhythm while the treatment was in progress.

The smell of the aromatic therapy synchronised the tingling touch of hot volcanic stones that covered my back. My soul and spirit surrendered when Gesine's caring force pushed up to the mountains. Gently and slowly the stream of energy flowed back to the sea. The circular motion was repeated four times.

What I gained from this beauty regimen was a new experience: confidence, indulgence, humility, pride, and honour for me as a new person; accepting and forgiving myself for all my flaws that life and old age has brought me.

Today is my 70th Birthday! I'm now a qualified Matriarch! Two State MP local members have sent me their birthday greetings. That's an added bonus. Thank you very much!
