And did I mention how kind and gentle the women is who does the treatments? I got oiled up by what seemed like a gallon of oils, then massaged and 'whumped' a little bit with an herb-filled bag. I use the word 'whumped' because its hard to describe the sensation of being gently beaten with what looks like a giant tea bag! - look at the website to see what I mean. The whole thing finishing off with a relax in your own private steam bath in the room.Then you get tea and snacks. It was worth what I paid for it ($99) but might be a bit overpriced at the 'original' price, which I think was closer to $199. In any case worth a trip - I did feel pretty blissful the next couple of days and my skin was positiively glowing.

I have had health challenges over the course of our work together that allopathic medicine could not detect, and at times even acknowledge its existence. For me, my journey of health challenges has included several digestive issues, immunity issues, chronic fatigue, and the processing of emotional trauma (which have had physical effects). Ayurveda, and specifically with Antonio's support, has continued to uplevel my experience of health and has completely eradicated many health challenges I have experienced. If you are new to ayurveda, it can start to feel overwhelming to make specific changes. Antonio will support you where you are, and take time to educate you where you are. Ayurveda is for everyone, but you must be an active participant in your health in ways that allopathic medicine does not demand. If you want to feel your best and are looking to work with a practitioner who truly sees you, guides you, and supports you, look no further. Antonio is incredible. His commitment to supporting others is commendable. He continues to further his own education to provide deeper and deeper knowledge to all he serves. I am blessed to work with him and know him. He is also the BEST massage therapist. I have traveled to India to receive ayurvedic treatment (specifically panchakarma), and the massage therapists there could not compare to the level of his skill and attunement with my body. I have also done panchakarma (shorter versions, not the full traditional 21 days as I experienced in India) with Antonio, and each time it has been a powerful experience that has helped me. If you are curious about ayurveda, don't wait. Gift yourself a higher level of health. Antonio will help you, too.

The entire staff is so friendly, funny and made me feel truly taken care of. The spa is extremely clean and had a very peaceful ambiance.

Hoda really read my skin well and focused on treating my problem areas and tightening my pores. She made me feel comfortable and was a great energy in the room. I even had a little therapy session with her! For my massage, Cindie took the time to work out all my knots and focused on my lower back (which was the main reason I went in that day). She was very attentive to my needs. I have never experienced such a peaceful massage. They also play soft music and everything together puts you in a very relaxed state.
