Services
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapists offer Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and sports massage modalities tailored to individual needs. Each session includes personalized consultation and draping options for comfort. Therapists use organic oils and CBD-infused products to address chronic pain, muscle tension, and stress relief while maintaining strict hygiene protocols.
Skincare Facials
Customized facials using Image Skincare and FarmHouse Fresh products include skin analysis and education on home care routines. Treatments address aging, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sensitivity through advanced techniques like dermaplaning, chemical peels, and antioxidant infusions. Organic ingredients and stem cell technology promote visible rejuvenation.
Hot Tub Rentals
Five private rooms feature state-of-the-art hot tubs, infrared saunas, and aromatherapy steam rooms set at 104F. Sanitized through chlorine, ozone, and ionization systems, these spaces accommodate solo relaxation or couples experiences. Packages combine tub access with massage and CBD treatments for enhanced wellness.
Waxing Services
Using Satin Smooth hard and soft waxes, aestheticians perform facial and body waxing after skin analysis to ensure product suitability. Services include brow shaping, bikini lines, and full-body options with pre- and post-care guidance. The process removes dead skin cells while minimizing irritation.

Curated packages combine multiple services for special occasions or self-care, including couples' retreats with side-by-side massages and hot tub access.
