I tried a posh £325 massage by a brand that Victoria Beckham loves... my body will never accept anything less again

What better way to jumpstart 2025 and live out the 'new year, new me' mantra than with a luxurious body treatment. I had the pleasure of trying an exclusive new body massage at the posh Corinthia Hotel in London; their in-house 5-star spa recently launched a treatment in conjunction with beauty brand and Victoria Beckham favourite, Augustinus Bader.

In fact last September the former Spice Girl unveiled a 'first of its kind' eye concealer with the German biomedical scientist - his work on stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is globally revered and highly sought after. Celebrity-endorsed or not I must admit I was sceptical at first. I thought well a massage is a massage no matter the inflated price tag slapped on it.

But nothing could prepare me for the out of body experience to come... I booked in for the 90 minute 'Augustinus Bader Full Body Regeneration' at Corinthia London's ESPA life - a four-floor building boasting transformative massages, rejuvenating facials and wellness therapies, all priced between £175 and £1400.

Shaking things up for the new year, Corinthia has launched a new partnership with Augustinus Bader founded on 'cutting-edge stem cell research'. It includes a range of skincare treatments 'clinically proven to boost the skin’s natural regeneration and deliver visible rejuvenation'.

The Full Body Regeneration focuses solely on the physique and promises to use Bader's specialised formulas to renew my body 'from top to toe'. FEMAIL's Maria Okanrende tried the exclusive Augustinus Bader Full Body Regeneration massage at the posh Corinthia hotel in London.
