What makes this session different?About this ritual: the idea, the guidance and the music

Warm marble, kese exfoliation and foam washing with an attendant.

The idea
Warm up on the marble, then a kese scrub and a foam wash, rinse, dry and rest. The washing is one continuous step.
Origin
One version of the warming, kese and foam care described by the Hürrem Sultan Hamamı.
Voice
The attendant leads. The app waits quietly until you are back in the resting area.
Safety & practicalPreparation, your phone and the safety guide

Visit a working hamam with an attendant. Agree on the treatment and a stop signal, follow the hamam's customs, and keep the phone somewhere dry.

  • Use this companion at a suitable venue with a qualified host. The host leads the physical treatments and decides when each is finished.
  • Your phone stays outside the heat. For sound, put a speaker by the door.
  • Water only if it feels right. Come out whenever you want: the rest begins by itself, or tap “I’m out”.
  • Pause, skip or end at any time.
