Tok Sen Thai Massage

I first came across Tok Sen during my first visit to the Spa Sanctuary at Camelback Resort, in Paradise Valley, Arizona.  I had signed up for the Essence of the Soul Reading. However, my therapist is one of the few therapists trained in the tok sen therapy.  In fact, if I am not mistaken she...

Crème de la Crème: Spa de La Mer (NYC, New York)

April 19, 2019April 21, 2024

Spa De La Mer La Mer. Enough said.  Crème de la Mer is so recognized as much for its celebrity cult following as its hefty price tag. Think of a celebrity (Beyoncé, Chrissy) and they most likely use the line.  How much is la Mer?  La Mer costs close to $500 for 3.4 oz. (and over...

If You Can’t Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kuyam!

September 21, 2018April 21, 2024

One of the treatments I did while visiting the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, is Kuyam (Koo-Yahm).   Whenever I visit a spa, I try to select services and treatments that are unique to that spa and not likely to be found anywhere else.   I usually always get a massage as my basis of...

Floating My Way to Pain Relief

August 31, 2018April 21, 2024

I showed up for my first float therapy appointment super nervous. I had read up on it, so I had a general idea of what to expect, but when the float host escorted me into the dark room, I felt anxious. After some simple instructions, follow up questions, and calming answers, the float host left...

Soma ( a Prana Spa Signature Treatment)

May 25, 2018April 21, 2024

When I was first looking at spas in Bali, Prana Spa (full review coming soon) hit my radar.  In looking at their signature treatments, I could see right away they had a Ayurvedic Rejuvenation Package.  It was a 240 minute treatment.   I had been reading and learning more about Ayurvedic philosophies, so even hough...

Spirit of the New Moon

March 17, 2018April 21, 2024

Not long ago we had a Super Blue Moon.   There is something awe-inspiring  about a large full moon, and the rarity of a “Blue Moon.”   We know that the moon and its cycles have a powerful effect on the oceans and tides.   We ourselves are connected to this powerful energy.  We feel...

ESPA Resorts World Sentosa (Singapore)

February 16, 2018April 21, 2024

ESPA caught my eye because in addition to your typical spa services and packages they also have day-long retreats packages.  This reminded me of Destination Spas that offer a variety of packages or journeys.  Since I was in Singapore for business and did not have time for a full length Destination Spa Journey, a day...

When is a Spa Not A Spa?

August 25, 2017April 21, 2024

I had been thinking about a blog topic on “ what was my most unusual spa treatment/activity”.  Initially, I had one thought, and it may be part of a future blog.   But in thinking more about my spa experiences, I realized spas, and especially destination spas, are more than spas… With things like life coaching, or...

Deep Tissue Massage (the Grand Spa at Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa)

February 21, 2017April 21, 2024

Following my Grand Spa Massage the night before, I took the advice of my massage therapist and booked a Deep Tissue Massage.  Now, I get deep tissue work done pretty regular from my regular massage therapist (see M-Spa) and I have also written about the Deep Relief Massage at the Lodge at Woodloch.  So, i...
