"I'd been working with Greg for about two months when he suggested Skin Reconditioning 101. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical, particularly since people are always saying I have great skin. But Greg is very persuasive in his no pressure way, so I figured I'd give it a try. At the very least, I thought, I'd have a sense that I'd spoiled myself. It turned out to be much more than that, and a terrific experience I've repeated several times.

The session started with a Dead Sea salt scrub all over my backside, from neck to toes. As Greg gently rubbed the mixture of coarse salt crystals, warm water and jojoba oil over my skin, it felt like I was being massaged by hundreds of tiny hands at once. Sometimes it tickled, but not unpleasantly. Every nerve in my skin came to life - and so did I. After the scrub, Greg rubbed a thick clay mixture all over. In the few minutes it took for this to dry, he told me that it was Hungarian Mineral Mud, which has been valued for centuries for its healing and soothing properties. In fact, Greg informed me, it's regarded as such potent medicine that in some countries you cannot get it without a prescription. Once he mentioned that, I was surprised that I hadn't noticed a strong smell of any sort; if anything, the stuff had a slightly pleasant, earthy-herbal odor.

As soon as my back was dry enough, I flipped over, and the process was repeated on my front side. All encased in green, I felt a bit like the Wicked Witch of the West, but it was kind of fun. My skin tingled - and eventually began to prickle - as the mud continued to dry. When it was finally time to rinse off, I was glad. It took longer than I expected to get all the mud off; Greg doesn't allow the use of soap or a washcloth, as both will undermine the conditioning process and irritate the skin. At last I succeeded in fully removing my temporary skin, including leaving some rather ugly marks on one of Greg's big fluffy white towels.

I was ordered back into the spa room, where I was given a quick - but very thorough - full body massage with a wonderful moisturizer. My skin felt really alive and I was aware of it (sort of like when you have sunburn, only this felt good). For several days afterwards, it felt incredibly smooth, soft and supple. And it just gets better each time I do it. I normally develop a couple of small dry patches during the late winter; that didn't happen this year. After a few treatments, my skin tone, which has always been good, has become even better and the few small problems I had have pretty much disappeared.

Aside from that, it just plain feels great! And, because of the way Greg works, you get massaged in the bargain. I cannot think of too many more enjoyable ways to spend an hour."

"Without a doubt, the past five months that I have received your skin treatment with the Dead Sea salt and Hungarian mud has been the most regenerating period for my skin. Historically, I have always had dry hashy skin that rarely responds to moisturizing treatment. Since I have started your treatment with the Hungarian mud combined with the salt, my skin has become a thing of a past and my skin is now a velvety smooth and a pleasure to touch. Indeed, this is one experience that I will recommend to anyone with any type of skin problems.

As a medical doctor, I have never seen any type of treatment that conditions the human skin as effective as your products have. Congratulations on your choice of these products and I look forward to continuing this conditioning of my skin with you."

"This is probably the most luxurious and pampering body treatment known to man. Aside from the great products Greg uses through all phases of the conditioning, his massage expertise allows him to apply and re-apply each of them with the most relaxing technique possible. It is like getting two treatments in one: the skin reconditioning and a massage. Although I was disappointed when it was over and had to go shower everything off - I could not believe the way my skin felt for days afterwards...like I had grown a new layer of perfectly smooth skin. Cannot recommend highly enough - pure heaven."
