My bestie and I scheduled a massage during our stay at Alderbrook.
Reservations were easily made and confirmed online. I received a reminder phone call the day before our appointments. Check-in time is 15 minutes beforehand in order to choose scents and fill out paperwork.
We chose the 60 minute Alderbrook Signature Massage for $170 (Sat-Sun pricing): harmonize body and soul with a hot stone massage treatment customized with a choice of scented oil. Designed to release tight muscles and relieve tension.
After checking in, we were walked to a changing room where we were provided lush robes and spa shoes. Nudity is optional. During the massage, one is covered the entire time. The masseuse doesn't see ones' nakedness. Being naked removes all obstacles while enjoying the massage treatment.
Once changed into spa wear, there is a relaxation room to sit in and read magazines, drink tea etc. until your masseuse calls for you.
After being introduced to your masseuse, they will ask you a few questions such as pressure points and heat (stones) to get a better understanding of ones needs and expectations.
The rooms are dimly lit and ambient dream music plays at a low volume. Once the massage starts, the talking stops.
After the massage is completed, one is encouraged to take a few moments to themselves before exiting the room. Upon exit, one is greeted with a glass of cucumber lemon infused water and ushered back to the relaxation room to enjoy for as long as one likes.
Back in the changing room, one can fully shower if desired. All amenities are provided: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, razors, tampons etc.
Payment is collected after massage completion where gratuity can be added. Cosmetics, lotions/creams and spa wear can also be purchased at this time.
Thank you Alderbrook Spa for the heavenly 60 minutes of harmonizing my mind, body and soul. read more
