Question 1

What should I wear to a spray tan appointment?

Accepted Answer

Wear loose, dark, comfortable clothing and slip-on shoes or sandals so nothing rubs the solution while it develops. Bring a loose top and bottoms you don’t mind getting a little stained, since the solution can transfer. During your session, you can be as covered or uncovered as you like. Many guests choose a disposable garment or go bare for the most even color. We provide a cap, protective items and privacy to change.

Question 2

How do I prepare for a spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Exfoliate and shave or wax the day before, not the same day. Arrive with clean, dry skin, and skip lotion, deodorant, perfume and makeup on the day of your appointment, because they can block the solution. Wear the loose clothing described above.

Question 3

What do I do after a spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Wear loose, dark clothing and slip-on shoes home. Avoid sweating, swimming and getting wet until your technician tells you the solution has developed. Follow the rinse instructions you’re given, then moisturize daily to help the color fade evenly.

Question 4

What is a lymphatic drainage massage?

Accepted Answer

It’s a very light, slow, rhythmic massage that uses gentle strokes along the body’s lymph pathways. The pressure is much lighter than a deep tissue or Swedish massage, and most people find it deeply relaxing. We offer it as a full-body treatment, and the same gentle technique is used in facial lymphatic massage.

Question 5

How much does a lymphatic drainage massage cost?

Accepted Answer

The price depends on the length of your session and whether you add other treatments. Check our current service menu or contact us for today’s rates, and ask about packages if you plan to visit more than once.

Question 6

How often should I get a lymphatic drainage massage?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your goals. Some guests come for a one-time treat, while others book regularly as part of a self-care routine. Your therapist can suggest a schedule after your first visit.

Question 7

Is lymphatic drainage massage safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

It’s gentle, but it isn’t right for every situation. If you have a heart condition, kidney problems, blood clots, an active infection or cancer, or you’re unsure, check with your doctor before booking. This treatment is for relaxation and well-being and isn’t a substitute for medical care.

Question 8

What is an ionic foot detox?

Accepted Answer

An ionic foot detox is a relaxing foot bath in which your feet rest in warm water with an ionizing unit. It’s offered as a wellness and relaxation experience. It isn’t a medical treatment, and we don’t claim that it diagnoses, treats or cures any condition.

Question 9

What is a full spectrum infrared sauna, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A traditional sauna heats the air around you. An infrared sauna uses infrared light to warm your body directly. “Full spectrum” means the sauna uses near, mid and far infrared wavelengths. Many guests find the heat gentler than a traditional sauna, so they can stay comfortable for the whole session. Drink water before and after, and talk to your doctor first if you’re pregnant or have a health condition.

Question 10

What is an infrared body wrap?

Accepted Answer

A body wrap is a spa treatment in which you’re wrapped and warmed, often with infrared heat, for a relaxing session. People enjoy it for the warmth and the chance to rest. We’ll explain the options and how long each one takes when you book.

Question 11

Do you offer red light therapy or the MELT Method?

Accepted Answer

Our menu changes from time to time. Contact us and we’ll confirm what’s currently available.

Question 12

What types of massage do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our massage menu includes relaxation and deep tissue style work, plus specialty treatments such as lymphatic drainage and prenatal massage. Tell us your goals and any areas of tension when you book, and we’ll help you choose.

Question 13

Do you offer couples massage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Couples massage lets two people enjoy their treatments side by side. Book ahead for weekends and holidays, and ask about couples spa packages if you’d like to combine services.

Question 14

Do you offer prenatal massage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Let us know how far along you are when you book, and check with your doctor or midwife first, especially if your pregnancy is high-risk.

Question 15

Do you offer facials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Facials are part of our menu, and you can pair one with a massage for a longer visit. Ask about massage and facial packages when you book.

Question 17

What spa packages do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer packages for individuals, couples and groups that combine services such as massage, facials, body wraps and sauna time. Packages are a good way to enjoy several treatments in one visit. Contact us and we’ll build one around what you’d like.

Question 18

What should I know before my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Arrive a few minutes early so you can fill out a short health form and settle in. Wear comfortable clothing, drink water, and tell your therapist about any health conditions, injuries or allergies. Every treatment is for relaxation and well-being, not a replacement for medical care.

Question 19

Do you offer gift cards, deals or memberships?

Accepted Answer

Ask us about current gift options, seasonal specials and memberships. These change from time to time.

Question 20

How do I book an appointment?
