I booked a session and literally sat in their waiting area trembling and feeling like I so did not belong there. That all changed with Leslie. This sweet woman immediately put my mind at ease. She was more than willing to explain everything one step at a time, and work at my comfort level. It took her less than five minutes to have me relaxed and giggling. The massage itself was amazing, and Leslie even took the time afterwards to explain the scalp massage technique she used so I could show it to my husband. I will ABSOLUTELY be back!!! The atmosphere is luxe and serene, but the warmth of the staff is what had me telling all my friends to go book appointments.

I wasn't sure what to expect so I decided to do the group class, at $35, instead of an individual session. Group classes are held when there is a significant change in astrology, so about twice a month. I brought a yoga mat, pillow, and water bottle to the class as instructed. Upon arrival, Liz, the owner/practitioner, made every feel very welcome, even if you hadn't done Holy Reiki Fire or Sound Bath therapy before. There were about seven of us total in the class with half new like me. We were all asked to get comfortable on our yoga mats and close our eyes and put on blankets or eye masks if we wanted. Since I didn't know what to expect, I declined and just lay on my mat with my pillow. First, Liz took us through a meditation scenario where we imagined ourselves in a peaceful place and then she started the sound therapy. Wow. I guess it thought this would only affect my hearing but you can definitely feel the vibrations of the sound throughout your body. It's hard to describe but it felt like I was floating a bit and a vortex of sound was rotating around me. At first I didn't know what to think or feel but as the sounds continued, I did feel all those annoying voices in my head, that think about what to do for dinner the next day or the laundry or any worries, just quiet and I did feel like I could focus. The session lasts about 45 minutes and I do have slight sciatica so I had to shift my legs a bit during the session. And afterwards I did feel refreshed. If I do this again, I think I would bring another mat or blanket to give my back more support and use an eye mask. It was a pretty neat experience overall.

Yelp Review I rarely…read morewrite negative reviews, but I feel obligated to share this experience because I don't want another guest, especially another woman of color, to leave feeling the way I did. I originally booked this appointment after attending Bella Collina's Girls' Night Out event. The event itself was wonderful, and the spa offered special pricing if services were booked that evening. My mom and I both booked treatments, so I was genuinely looking forward to this visit. Instead, I experienced one disappointment after another. From the moment I called for directions after my GPS brought me through the wrong entrance, the tone of the interaction felt cold and unwelcoming. When I arrived, I immediately noticed the difference between Bella Collina and other luxury spas I have visited. There was no warm greeting, no orientation to the facilities, and no one escorting guests from place to place. I was simply pointed toward the locker room and later told where to go for my treatment. Those details may seem small, but they are exactly what separates true luxury hospitality from an average spa. The interaction with my massage therapist made me especially uncomfortable. She asked whether I wanted the complimentary scalp massage. I explained that I was wearing a wig and would prefer not to have it. Instead of accepting my answer, she continued asking me the same question multiple times. As a Black woman, that exchange felt deeply uncomfortable. Black women wear wigs and other protective styles for many reasons, and I have never before had someone fixate on my hairstyle during a spa treatment. Whether intentional or not, the repeated questioning demonstrated a lack of cultural competence and left me feeling othered rather than cared for. The massage itself was unfortunately the worst I have ever had. Instead of relaxing, I became increasingly tense. I found myself asking to stretch throughout the session because my muscles actually felt tighter as the massage continued. That has never happened to me before. The facial was excellent, and I want to acknowledge that. My esthetician was knowledgeable, professional, and gave me thoughtful advice about my skincare goals. She was the highlight of my visit. Unfortunately, the problems continued afterward. I asked if I could pay before changing into my swimsuit so I could enjoy the spa pool, but I was told no because someone would have to walk me outside. After changing, I returned wearing my swimsuit underneath the spa robe and was immediately told I could not wear the robe outside. At that point, it felt like every interaction centered around another rule or another correction. Instead of feeling welcomed or accommodated, I felt policed. Hospitality should make guests feel comfortable, not constantly worried that they are doing something wrong. Eventually, I decided to leave instead of using the pool because I simply did not feel welcome anymore. The most disappointing part of this experience was not just the poor massage or the lack of luxury service. It was leaving feeling that the staff lacked the cultural awareness necessary to make every guest feel respected and included. That feeling stayed with me long after I left. Bella Collina markets itself as a luxury destination. Luxury is not just beautiful buildings or expensive treatments. Luxury is exceptional hospitality, thoughtful service, and making every guest feel comfortable and valued. Sadly, that was not my experience.
