A massage on a wooden jetty of Varmias lake ? A relaxing bath on Masurias meadow? Everything is possible when you start to listen the nature. Leave the rest to Madame La Mode.

Natalia Żyro, alias Madame La Mode, was born in a small countryside. She didnt run away from it, like thousands of her age-mates to a big city – I always had a gift to appreciate the space that surrounds me. Scents, colors or sounds of each season can fascinate me...and their common dependences – Natalia Żyro explains her fascination of native Varmia nad Masuria – In 2004 I began cosmetological studies, but I wanted to work in the country, using my interests, knowledge and skills in accordance with nature – she adds.

Currently cosmetic concerns are on the race against each other in innovation field, which purpose is to make our body younger, relax our body and make it more beautiful. Often the effect is the opposite – this kind of treatments give you the mask effect and modern women look more artificial. – I started reaching to the sources and thinking about it, how in the past the care over the body and mood looked like – Natalia Żyro recalls the beginning of her mobile SPA – There were no big Spa complexes. The opposite. Everything what was natural was used, available here and now – she adds.

The mobile SPA Madame La mode was created because Natalia Żyro wanted to create situation, not a place for relax. Thanks to that we can slow down, stop and in the silence meet the nature of Varmia – For me the substance of Spa is acting for achieving a good mood and a balance between soul and body – explains Natalia żyro. But the respect for the nature is also very important – Spa Madame La Mode is not only the balance between soul and body, but also a balance between human and environment. Because of that I use natural methods of care and cosmetics produced in accordance with the ecology and fair trade rules – says.

In her treatment Madame La Mode use olive oil, grape seed oil, coco oil, shea butter, sesame oil or local honey. Ayurveda massages based on the old Indian knowledge are also performed with use of hot stones. One of the massages, caught on the movie was performed by Miśka, one of the cows from the neighbor pasture!

Where you can meet Madame La Mode? Most of all in Cracow, where is the center of the company, and in befriended Lavender field and Moniówka at Varmia, and Gelndoria at Masuria. But this mobile SPA can appears wherever you want. All this in order to recover your contact with nature and taste the amazing silence of Varmia and Masuria.
