Girls Weekend
Massage & Day Spa Packages

How many therapists can you send for our girls weekend?

 

At present, we have a team of therapists available for bookings on the Gold Coast, Mt Tamborine, Scenic Rim, Northern NSW to Byron Bay and Brisbane.

 

Book early to ensure you get the day and time of your choosing. Easily inquire online and we can help with all of your weekend planning and coordination.

​

We're a group of 6, 8 or even 12. How does that actually work?

​

Very easily — and you definitely don't all need to squeeze into the treatment room at once!

​

For larger girls' weekends, we can bring several therapists depending on the size of your group, where you're staying and therapist availability. We then work out a treatment schedule so everyone knows roughly when it's their turn.

​

We've looked after groups of up to 23 women, so a house full of girlfriends doesn't faze us.

​

Usually the massages simply become part of the day. A couple of girls might be having their treatments while everyone else is chatting, having lunch, sitting by the pool or enjoying a glass of bubbles. Then you swap around.

​

It works particularly well in a holiday house because the weekend doesn't have to stop while the massages are happening.

​

What are the most popular treatments?

​

The most popular treatments we book on girls weekends are either the half hour express treatments, 1.5 hour or one hour pamper packages. All of our packages are at our spa menu.

 

Or those that are after a longer treatment the day spa packages are also popular. We have something for every budget and for each person.

​

Can everyone choose different massage styles?

​​

​Sure of course! Some might like a relaxation, while others would prefer remedial work.

 

Just let us know any specific requirements when you book and we will make sure we send the appropriate therapist to you.

​

I love massage but I know some of the girls don't. What else can you offer for our pamper day?

​

Ripple is unusual as we offer not only massage services, but also beauty and day spa treatments on a mobile basis.

​

So if you love massage, but also love spa treatments like exfoliation, facials and foot baths, we can do that! 

​

If someone doesn't want to undress or finds getting on a massage table difficult, they can still enjoy a wonderful treatment. We can do seated chair massage, just foot reflexology, there are lots of options so no one misses out.

​

So we are much more than a mobile massage service and can really make your pamper day that, a relaxing day in your own spa oasis. We tailor your treatment to you and make sure you are happy.

​

Can massage therapists come out to our Airbnb or holiday house?

​

Yes! Much more relaxing than trying to get a group in at a day spa (and waiting around in a waiting room there for others to finish their treatments), Ripple can come to your accommodation, home, hotel or AirBNB.

​

We don’t need much space to set up and you don’t need to provide anything. We bring professional massage tables, towels, aromatherapy oils and spa products, even the relaxation music.

​

The benefit of having a mobile pamper party is that you can have some nibbles, or lunch or champagne while the treatments take place, can be as loud as you like, and there is no travelling.

 

If you are heading out afterwards its as easy as getting off the massage table, into a shower and then getting dressed, all in the comfort of your accommodation. Here are some of the Airbnbs we have been to. Or if you are looking for recommendations, Ali knows these regions well and would be happy to help. Just drop us a line.

​

Does one person have to organise and pay for everybody?

​

Not necessarily — and we're very happy to help take some of the organising off your hands.

​

Some groups have one wonderfully organised person who collects everyone's choices and sorts the whole thing out. Other groups would consider that their idea of absolute hell.

​

If you'd rather, we can help coordinate the treatments and even contact the girls individually to find out what they'd like. Your friends can look through our treatment menu beforehand and choose something that suits them.

​

We already do quite a bit of this behind the scenes. After all, you're supposed to be organising a girls' weekend — not taking on a second job in event management.

​

We do ensure that all payment is made at the time of the booking. That way we know who is definitely having treatments and we can book therapists for the time needed. It also means that we aren't juggling cash or card payments on the day, and our therapists can just concentrate on giving you the best massage treatment they can.

​

When do you need our final numbers?

​

We know what girls' weekends are like. There's nearly always a “Sarah thinks she's coming but needs to check with her husband” somewhere in the group chat.

​

You don't necessarily need every tiny detail sorted out before you first contact us. Give us your best idea of numbers, where you're staying and the date, and we can start working out what will work. When you know what a few of you would like, start booking so we can start holding therapists for you. We can always add to your booking afterwards.

​

As the weekend gets closer, though, we do need everyone confirmed because we've reserved therapists and treatment time specifically for your group.

​

If somebody drops out after you've booked, our normal cancellation terms apply, so it's worth having a quick look at those when you're organising everyone.

​

Does everybody have to have the same treatment?

​

No, you can all book something different. Ripple is very flexible so there is something for everyone, from the half hour mini treatments for those who want a quick pamper, up to the longer packages.

​

We also specialise in massages that you won’t find elsewhere on a mobile basis.

​

How long should we leave between everyone's treatments?

​

You generally don't need to build big empty gaps into the schedule.

​

We'll work out the timing according to how many women you have, which treatments everyone has chosen and how many therapists are coming. Usually for large groups, we will do up a schedule before hand so your day runs smoothly and everyone knows what they are having and when.

​

If one therapist is looking after several women, treatments can simply run one after another. With several therapists, we can have multiple treatments happening at the same time.

​

And nobody needs to sit in a waiting room watching the clock. That's one of the nicest things about having your treatments at your accommodation — everyone else can be chatting, eating, swimming, having a drink or doing absolutely nothing until it's their turn.

​

How many people can book treatments on our girls weekend?

​

As many as you like! We have pampered girls getaway groups with up to 23 people. If you do have a group booking, please book as well in advance as you can to ensure we have enough amazing therapists to come out to spoil you all.

​

One of the girls is pregnant, can you cater for her?

​

Of course! We do pregnancy massages at any stage of the pregnancy after the first trimester. We even have a pregnancy massage table to make the Mum To Be super comfortable.

​

Alternatively, there is also a wide range of beauty treatments for them to choose from. Don’t worry they won’t be left out! We love pampering Mums to Be and specialise in these treatments as well.

​

What should we wear for our treatments?

​

Whatever you're already comfortable lounging around in. We can bring robes for everyone, if you would like this option please let us know well in advance at booking.

​

You certainly don't need to dress up for us. If your girls' weekend uniform has become robes, swimmers, pyjamas or comfy clothes, you're doing it properly as far as we're concerned.

​

When it's time for your massage, your therapist will give you privacy to undress to your own comfort level and get onto the table underneath the towels.

​

And when you're finished, you're already back at your accommodation. So if your plan is massage → shower → getting ready → dinner, there's no awkward trip home from a day spa in between.

​

Do I need to take my makeup off before my treatment?

​

For a normal massage, don't worry too much about it.

​

If your treatment includes a face mask, facial treatment or face massage, however, it's nicer for us to be working with clean skin rather than through a full face of foundation.

​

If you're all heading out afterwards, just keep your makeup nearby and you can redo it once you've finished being pampered.

​

Although after a lovely head and face massage, your hair may have its own ideas about your evening plans.

​

I've never had a massage before. What actually happens?

​

Firstly, you won't be expected to magically know what to do.

​

Your therapist will have a quick chat with you about what sort of massage you like, pressure, any areas you'd particularly like worked on and anything we need to know about.

​

We'll then give you privacy while you undress to whatever level you're comfortable with and get onto the massage table under the towels. During your treatment we use proper draping, so only the area we're working on is uncovered.

​

And please don't spend your massage wondering whether you're allowed to say something.

​

If you'd like more pressure, less pressure, you're too warm, you're too cold, you'd rather we spent another ten minutes on your shoulders or you really don't like having your feet touched, tell us.

​

We are looking at staying at accommodation on Tamborine Mountain or at the Gold Coast. Do you come to these regions?

​

Yes! Plus we also travel all Scenic Rim, Brisbane and all the way through Northern NSW to Byron Bay.

​

If you are booking in any of these regions, please give us as much notice as possible to book your spa treatments. Ripple has a small team of highly experienced and trained therapists (we only hire the best), and we can get booked out.

​

What about a girls weekend as an annual event?

​

Yes! We do lots of these and we love seeing the same groups of women each year for their time away. Some we have been massaging for over ten years.

 

They book with us first and then book their accommodation to make sure they get their spa treatments on their weekend away.

 

We love our clients, and really enjoy seeing those who have booked with us over the last two decades again. You can see some of the reviews from our regular clients here
