PADA ABHYANGA

The Self-Love Ritual

Draw the water. Warm the oil. Come home to yourself.

A steaming footbath of golden herbal water before an armchair, a candle, blooming tea, rose oil and a sealed note on a rattan tray, a robe and socks nearby.

In one line

This is *Pada Abhyanga*, the Ayurvedic practice of anointing the feet with warm oil before sleep, staged as an evening a guest gives to themselves and then takes home.

The evening

A solo guest settles into a chair that was set before they arrived. Their feet go into warm water turned gold by herbs; a flower opens slowly in a glass of tea; the candle is the only light in the room.

No one is coming to do anything for them. They are giving themselves this evening, with their own hands, and that is the whole point.

Questions hosts ask

How do I charge guests for it?

Name it in your listing, with its price, so a guest sees it before booking. Each channel has its own way to charge for an extra; follow the rules of the one the guest booked on, and when a guest books with you directly, add it to the stay.

Another evening:

A claw-foot tub scattered with flowers under low light, a bath tray with blooming tea, a candle and a sealed note, a robe and towels on a chair.
