Tips for having a great day (or treatment) at a spa:
- No matter where you are staying in the I-Drive area, you will be able to book a day, a package or a single treatment at one of the many spas. Be sure to make reservations in advance for treatments. Individual spas are happy to customize a perfect day of treatments or a quick in and out service depending upon your schedule!
- Talk to the therapist about the treatment. Are you tired from long meetings? Recovering from a long flight? Dehydrated? Let the therapist know where the aches and pains are so they can pay special attention.
- Book treatments in advance. Plan ahead and select your services so that you will get the treatments that you want. Ask about the spa’s cancellation policy.
- Arrive early. Take advantage of amenities such as sauna or arrive early to make the most of your experience. Depending on the type of treatment or package you purchase, most spas allow you to use the sauna, steam room and showers, as well as their “relaxation” or “meditation” rooms, before your treatment.
- Relax! Close your eyes and allow your mind and body to be quiet. Breathe deeply to help release tension, and remember this time is just for you!
