Home massage or spa therapists in Jakarta

Hello,
I wonder if you can help? We are new here in Jakarta and slowly finding our way around!
My wife is looking for a professional female masseuse/spa therapist who does home visits for massage, facials, body scrub etc.
Any idea where I might find such a person?! Many thanks SMc

Hi Tamara,

They are pretty expensive here but you can usually find them gently used on the Upper Crust classified ads/Craig’s List.  Please register to receive their emails at:  mary.a.wiley@uppercrustjakarta.com.

Alternatively, you can try many of the malls around town at any of the Kettler Sport stores.  There is one in Mall Taman Anggrek or Pondok Indah Mall.

Try this link also:  http://tokoalatfitness.com/jual-alat-fitness/treadmill-elektric-marathon-tx-5-kettler/.  If you are not able to communicate with them in Bahasa, perhaps your driver or maid can help you to communicate.

or contact Kenneth kenneth@primafit.co.id at www.primafit.co.id 

Suggest you print out a picture of which model you are keen on and then go from there.

Toddler bed in Jakarta

Hi, I am moving to Jakarta next month and am here at the moment trying to source a few bits of furniture. I am looking for what we call a toddler bed in the UK - for 18 months plus, bigger than a cot, but smaller and lower to the ground than a single bed, with shallow rails on either side from the top to about 1/3 of the way down the bed.  I thought they would be easily available world wide but the shops don't seem to know what I am taking about, and all I can find here so far are expensive convertible cots/beds that you can use from birth and then convert a couple of times to different configurations as the child grows. These are upwards of £600 and not necessary as we had a cot and it is outgrown. Do you know anywhere we could get a toddler bed? Many thanks, Melanie.

Dear Melanie,

There are plenty toddlers shops in Jakarta that you find in the dept store etc. 

And besides that you can also costume made it. 

We found this website that maybe have something you want - http://www.babybelle.co.id/product.html

http://www.petitbleu-nursery.com

http://www.birdsnbeesbaby.com

This is online shopping in Jakarta but the method payment is still manual. You transfer and they deliver.

Hope this helps!
