I've made it to the resort - which is beautiful, by the way - and have taken a look at the spa offerings. On Monday, I have scheduled a Shirodhara treatment and a Stone Therapy Facial.
The Shirodhara is where they drip a steady stream of oil onto your forehead and it includes scalp, hand and foot massage. Sounds pretty safe to me. I'm fairly certain I can handle that as it's mostly *neutral* territory. I asked a lot of questions about the facial and was told that there is almost always a stone between you and the therapist, so there is very little skin-to-skin contact. I'm still a little worried though b/c it does involve some parts of the body that are triggery for me.
Keep your fingers crossed!
