My previous health practitioner went back to school so I had to start all over again and find someone quickly to help heal the sprained neck. Well, I felt good after the first session.

Doesn't get much better and really, give her a try. I had read some other great reviews about her and glad I took that turn.

I had a "chocolate pedicure with coconut firming massage and paraffin". Doesn't that just sound decadent? I sure thought so! Unlike other spas or nail salons I've been to, this cozy salon doesn't have a massaging chair. Rather, you are seated on a plush, high, throne-like bench, complete with pillows. I like my soaking water hot, but initially it was so hot, I would've sustained third degree burns if I had submerged my feet in the tub (no exaggeration!). Thankfully the lovely technician quickly cooled it way down for me when I asked her to. (I wish I remembered her name. She was very nice!). The whole experience felt very indulging and personal. I was alone in the salon, as there were. no other customers there. The lotions and potions used all smelled divine. The leg massage was divine. The warm paraffin application was divine. I wished it never ended. LOL! When all was said and done, my feet looked and felt wonderful and my toenails were painted great.

I had a exfoliating body scrub and hour massage with William. It was possibly the best massage I have had- cross between massage and muscle adjustment treatment.

I can't recommend this spa and William enough!

After more than a few months of long-terms stays at the Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Vancouver,…read moremy lovely boyfriend had racked up enough points to send me and my nagging back problems to the Vida Wellness Spa, located in the hotel. This was my first visit, but not my last and certainly not the most memorable of the two...in the best way possible of course. I arrived the recommended 15 minutes early and was escorted by a pleasant staff member to the soft-lit, spacious change rooms. Vida spa users are also allowed use of the pool, gym and steam rooms, all located on the same level. Delicious smelling amenities, hair care, lotions and the like were all provided, as well as luxurious white robes and slippers to throw on with abandon before heading to your treatment. While filling out the obligatory health form, I sipped on complimentary Ayurvedic tea and contemplated gaining more knowledge in the 5000 year old holistic health tradition of India, known as Ayurveda, the foundation behind Vida's techniques and treatments. Now I won't get into the details of the treatment this time around, as mentioned, this was my first visit. I had a 1 hour massage that was truly heavenly and without much squirming as my back was in better shape than usual. I vowed to return to the spa with my boyfriend who had never received a massage by a professional. The second time around was our 1st year anniversary and cause for celebration and relaxation, a perfect opportunity for a couples massage at Vida. The service was again, impeccable, warm and welcoming. My boyfriend and I were situated in the same large room, massage tables apart just enough that we couldn't disturb each other's experience. I was going to be massaged by a male and my boyfriend, a female; this can be adjusted to your comfort level by calling ahead. The room was dim and smelt wonderful, of flowers and herbs and total bliss! This feeling lasted until the massage began, at the base of my neck which was apparently, the origin of the pain in my back. My masseuse asked me quietly if I had ever experienced migraines, I was shocked as I had, just recently been victim to these strange and debilitating headaches for the first time in my life. His perceptiveness continued as he worked his way down, the pain becoming so severe in my lower back that he decided to stay in that area for the duration of the massage. I glanced over to see my boyfriend catatonic and lazily unaware of what was happening on the other side of the room. By this time I am being contorted and massaged to the point where my eyes are watering and the agony is so apparent that I almost begin to laugh at how absurdly hilarious this is. I am hoping that my masseuse will tell me that "I am not the only one...etc etc". Instead, he tells me that he is incredibly surprised that someone so young could have such back problems and not even know it. Great. Although it may have sounded like a torture chamber in there, my masseuse and his vast knowledge proved to be miraculous for my encumbered back. He provided a page of stretches and exercises that I could do to improve my mobility and strength, and ideas on how to become more aware of my body so as to avoid having to endure another minute of pain. It was a blessing in disguise and one I will not soon forget. The kindness and thought paid to me was more than I had experienced at other spas and this attention to detail (never mind the beautiful spa in itself) will keep me coming back again and again. Oh and my boyfriend did actually fall asleep while having his massage done, if that isn't testament enough to Vida's genius.
