How do I know what therapies are good for me?

We highly recommend that you visit the spa 20 minutes prior to your appointment so we may help you select your ideal treatment based on our complimentary “Know yourself ” session.

If you are here simply for a relaxing break you can choose treatments from our general therapies section. Treatments can also be customized for you based on your body type if you decide to complete our health assessment form.

What is a health assessment form?
