"Chi Yu's signature Chidoriya Japanese Facial draws inspiration from the beauty regimes of the Japanese geisha, who know a thing or two about beautiful skin, to relax, restore and rejuvenate. Combined with spa's bespoke Matcha green tea mask and organic facial oils... this was one of the best facials we have yet to experience. What also impressed the judges was the comprehensive approach to aftercare..."

"Deep tissue massage is a technique that aims to release chronic pain and tension in the muscles, tendons and fascia (fibrous tissue) through the application of slow, deep strokes on the contracted area... The massage boosts circulation by relaxing the tight muscles, allowing blood and oxygen to flow more efficiently."

"Stressed out urbanites will find solace in the recently opened Chi Yu wellness centre in Marylebone, London. Owner Mami Tsang will have you forgetting to-do lists as soon as the treatment start - be it a yoga massage, acupuncture, or the signature Chidoriya Japanese facial."

"The range of treatments now available for men is dizzying. Choosing one that is best for you can be daunting... the Chi Yu Wellness Centre has a clever solution to this with their Integrated Therapy. There is no set session here. Each is a bespoke two hours created out of a potential 13 therapies on offer. It's a great way to ensure that you get treatments that are going to be right for you."

"...before I know it, I am in heaven! The music, heated table, dim lighting, incredibly fluffy towels...all create a wonderfully nurturing environment."

"Marylebone is full of eastern promise now that the Chi Yu Wellness Centre on George Street has opened."

"The troubles of the outside world seem to melt away as you walk into Chi Yu wellness cente...."

"Time-tested oriental therapies including reflexology, yoga massage and Chidoriya facials - loved by Japanese geishas for centuries - are on offer at the new Chi-Yu Wellness Centre in Marylebone."

"For top-to-toe pampering that'll revive your body and soul a treat, step inside the newly opened, Oriental-inspired chi yu wellness centre... Most of the therapies on offer revolve aruond stimulating and unblocking meridians - energy lines that, accourding to Eastern medicen, run along the body and carry your 'chi', meaning life force."

"But first, Tsang gives me a once over: digestion, muscles, posture. She is wise seeing and to the point. I know this because when she digs into my treatment, my body melts as though smoothed over with caramel. She massages in a way that no European therapist I've come across does: with focussed vigour that feels brilliant...the chidoriya Japanese facial at the end is dazzling....."

"On arriving at the centre, tucked away in Marylebone, the welcome of Japanese green tea with rice and crackers is instantly calming and refreshing. The ambience is authentic and warm... before long I was greeted by Mami and led down to the blissfully dark ,womb-like treatment rooms..."

"Chidoriya Japanese Facial. The experience: A truly decadent pampering treatment, this facial is ideal for blitzing away stress... It uses Chidoriya Japanese skin-care products from Kyoto which apparently are the secret behind Victoria Beckham's super-smooth skin. The result: More than living up to the hype surrounding the beautifying benefits of Japanese products, I left the spa feeling utterly relaxed, while my skin looked noticeably brighter and felt plump and smooth."

"It was with some scepticism that we walked into the Chi Yu Wellness Centre, having taken wtih a large pinch of salt a review that claimed we'd walk out feeling 'goddess-like'. It's not often we'll admit we were at fault but, on this occasion, boy were we wrong...."

WHERE LONDON: "For the best massage we’ve experienced, head along to recently opened Chi-Yu Wellness Centre. The wonderful therapists will devise the perfect treatment to ease your aches and pains, choosing from acupressure, Thai yoga, Tui Na and deep tissue."
