I went for a deep tissue massage and my friend went for a foot massage. I can't speak on her experience but mine was horrible. I read the reviews before I got there but I always like to give places the benefit of the doubt. But the reviews were right. I repeatedly told the lady working on me that I wanted a deep tissue which was not what she was giving me. She oiled my back up and I knew it was going to get bad. She never rubbed my feet instead she beat them with her palms. That technique was repeated on my body.

The highlight of course is the salt therapy rooms quiet softly lit spaces where you can unwind while breathing in micronized salt air, which many people find helpful for stress relief and respiratory comfort The atmosphere leans towards tranquil and minimal, with a focus on creating a peaceful almost meditative experience. The staff are welcoming and explain the process well which is helpful for your first time.

The treatment area is calming and there is even chocolate available. Waxing can never be described as one of the more enjoyable beauty treatments but it was less painful than some and she was kind and professional. The outcome was excellent. I also indulged in an Indian Head Massage which was amazing. Very relaxing, I get migraines and I found it helped with some tension in my neck. It's a great option if you don't have the time or budget for a full massage. Finally I had my eyebrows threaded, and she did a great job. I asked to have them left full, just cleaned up and she listened! She trimmed them a bit to shape and they look great!

Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff and welcomed in. The entry was lovely, the whole way in and then of course, inside in the little shop as well. I waited in a little waiting area of the top of the stairs for someone to bring me down. A lovely lady who brought me down was so kind and showed me all the different areas of the spa so that I could enjoy the space in addition to my massage. Before my massage, I relaxed in the lounge with a cup of tea. That tea is amazing! I may be ordering it after I get home... after I relaxed. I was gathered by Sylvia and we on over to my massage. My massage was brilliant! I work out quite often and have a lot of tension as well as soreness in my muscles. Sylvia knew exactly what to do and found all the spots that were tight and helped work them all out. She used the exact amount of pressure that was needed, and, as deep tissue massages, go, while slightly uncomfortable at times due to soreness in the muscles, it was never truly painful. Truly exceptional! After my massage, I used the amenities to include the steam room in the hot tub as well as the shower facilities. I love that they thought of everything in the locker rooms to include hair ties and mouthwash. Those small things really do matter! After coming here for this massage, I will absolutely be back. It was truly a lovely couple hours and my muscles feel a heck of a lot better too!

We both had the Laurel type of treatments which is as free of chemicals as possible. One hour each preceded by fact questioning which was pertinent to the treatments. The Laurel line smells so wonderful, a combo of herbs that makes you feel so relaxed but not sleepy. Afterwards I was given a card to use since I live locally for future treatments so I could get a chance to receive a surprise after a certain number of treatments. I also received samples of the Laurel skin cleanser and the sunscreen. I did have the chance to use both and am so impressed by both. Just a smidgen of each applied has improved my complexion. Definitely going to set up regular follow up treatments. Also right after my facial, my complexion felt so calm and not inflamed though I had been following all the correct ways to keep a clearer complexion such as drinking plenty of water, not touching my face, sleeping with my hair pulled away from my face, using cleanser free of perfume, etc. The spa is so very clean and I was quite impressed.
