Água Pura - Centro de Beleza e Bem Estar

I met the wonderful Catia at her stall during the Indireita street festival in Portimão during my recent Christmas visit to the Algarve. Immediately, I was seduced by the divine essential oil mixtures Catia has created. She is a natural parfumier, with all of her combinations working together to create delicious fragrances. It was hard to choose from all of them. Catia is passionate about her oils and bath salts, and talks knowledgeably about the different oils and their applications for different wellbeing needs. I bought some gifts for friends but mostly treats for me. Her launch offer was also exceptional, and my purchases gained me several vouchers towards an aromatherapy massage which I booked for the next day. Catia is so personable and warm. She shares openly her own challenges to meet you where you are in your own, so that you feel solidarity and a sense of sisterhood in life's toughness. The massage is cosy and warm and the aromas are out of this world. Catia has a gentle but confident touch for a healing massage. I felt relaxed yet energised, ready to face the evening and the days ahead (rather than knocked sideways as I can sometimes be after heavy handed massage). I feel I met a truly kind and radiant individual in Catia. Her dedication and passion shines through and she is a beacon of gentle, humorous wisdom and knowledge in an arena saturated by inauthentic wannabe gurus. I wish Catia the very best in her beautiful business. You will be in safe, warm, wise hands with Agua Pura. I will be back on my next visit to the Algarve.
