Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

SRI'S AQUA HEALING AQUA HEALING is a very gentle yet extremely powerful healing therapy. Anybody can receive and benefit from AQUA HEALING regardless of age. AQUA HEALING is a soothing wellness therapy and also a therapy to prevent disease and chronic ailments such as back aches, muscular pains and headaches etc., Relief from anxiety, sleeping disorders, stress and depression too can be obtained by receiving AQUA HEALING . The Founder / Practitioner Sri gives AQUA HEALING on a one to one basis. Sri will float the receiver face upwards in 3-4 feet of water, ensuring that the receiver is totally comfortable and has complete freedom of movement aided with the buoyancy of water. This would also eliminate any aqua phobia or fear of water. Based on the receiver's needs and his adaptability and response to the therapy, Sri will apply various carefully researched and proven techniques to relieve mental and physical stress. The relieving of stress will create an ideal state for mental energizing. The deep calmness so achieved, revitalizes the receiver in body and spirit. The mind and body will be in perfect accordance, balanced and harmonized. Throughout the therapy, Sri will maintain a very close watch on the receiver and will be very sensitive to the receiver's responses and needs. Sri will use all the different mental emotions, mental powers and physical reactions of the receiver to give a holistic wellness of body and mind and energize him mentally and physically to successfully face life's challenges. The receiver's mind is emptied of all stress, anger, pain and sorrow and total mental purification is achieved. Once this is done, all bodily discomforts will disappear to induce absolute peace and harmony both mentally and physically. AQUA HEALING also increases mental power and heightens the receiver's awareness of the outside world. Many people lack proper, deep sleep that brings about total relaxation mandatory for the revitalizing of the human body. It is an accepted fact that mental stress is the root of physical ailments. This is borne out by the fact that people with luxury/comfortable life styles yet suffer from gastritis, chronic asthma, migraine, high blood pressure, hypertension, and heart ailments - all of which can be linked to mental stress. A person's cosmetic appearance too can be affected due to mental tension. A dull skin, dark rings round eyes and bags under the eyes are visible signs of stress and tension. All persons have a glow on their skin but it varies or does not come through due to mental stress. Concentration on the mind to activate its healing powers and emptying it of negative emotions results in a glowing skin. This can be easily achieved through AQUA HEALING which is 100% free of chemicals. The wonder that is the human mind has much energy and curative powers. With his AQUA HEALING therapy, Sri subtly neutralizes the receiver's mind and harnesses the mental energy and healing powers to heal and relax the receiver's body and the resultant holistic wellness and energy will be long lasting. Sri"s AQUA HEALING is the ideal means to cope and combat 21st century stress and hassle. It is not strenuous but very relaxing and does not involve internal medication. One to one sessions assure privacy and flexibility of timing etc., Practitioner Sri's empathy with the receiver and his ingrained gift for healing are added bonuses.

I ran into this through TripAdvisor and decided to listen to the fantastic reviews. It was exactly what people have previously said. Great massage and found a nice balance of pressure without pain. It was slightly difficult to find. It's the last dwelling on a street behind some commericial building. Go there for sure.

I changed my booking at the last minute, and I’m so glad I did!! The room is big, very nicely furnished and very comfortable. The atmosphere is very nice, with a little cafe (which tends to be quite busy in the morning cause the food is delicious!!), a shop, and different Ayurvedic treatments and yoga classes available. Unfortunately I couldn’t try the yoga class that was given for me at check in (had too many other things planned already), but if I ever come back to Colombi, I would definitely come back!! Breakfast is not included in the price, but there are many options available nearby, and the on-site cafe has great food. The only negative thing is the internet, which barely worked in the room.

I travel a great deal and often struggle to find a decent manicurist in many cities. But I found the absolute best in Colombo. The Nail Anatomy provided outstanding service from my first contact with them right through to the finished product. They called within half an hour of receiving my request via email for an appointment to confirm a time later that day. I had a French gel manicure with Putu who was simply outstanding in terms of her service, attention to detail and the final result was one of the best manicures I have had anywhere in the world. Lulu also did an amazing job of dealing with my extremely tired feet with a soothing massage and extremely tidy pedicure. I was so impressed I booked a waxing session and full body massage for the next day. I highly recommend this salon.

Gamini Gunaratne is an experienced and qualified holistic health professional with many years of experience. A Reiki Master/Practitioner and Tarot Consultant who offers intuitive guidance and healing.He is also qualified in hypnotherapy, crystal healing and numerology. With these tools combined, he offers a unique experience to give you an integrative, customized solution based on your needs.
Had a lot of C-PTSD that had come up over the last few years and Gamini has been one of the reasons I've been able to let go a lot of repressed trauma and start healing really old wounds. I've recently taken his Reiki level one course for self healing and was genuinely impressed by his simple teachings and care that his students learn in the best way they know how and loved his reiki oil! I recommend Gamini to anyone I know as the experience is very calming no matter what type of issues you have.
