Masssage Therapy and Spa Treatments


Massage Therapy
Enjoy a nurturing therapeutic massage session in the privacy of your own cabin or if you’d prefer out under the Cottonwood trees next to a rushing creek. You decide what will create the ultimate experience for you. During your massage I will use a combination of techniques suited specifically to your needs. I integrate Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, and cranial-sacral therapies to create a session that will leave you rejuvenated and relaxed. I recommend that you prepare your body for your session by first soaking in the hot springs pool.

Spa Treatments
Enjoy these spa treatments to revitalize and rejuvenate the body. Combined with a massage and the healing waters of the hot springs, you can create your own spa experience without leaving the property.

Salt Glow Scrub (without a massage - 40 minutes)
Rich, mineral-filled sea salts are combined with aromatic oils to create this scrub that will remineralize the skin, leaving it silky and soft with a healthy glow. $55

Hot Herbal Wrap (without a massage - 40 minutes) You’ll be wrapped in hot linen sheets that have been steeped in a blend of healing herbs and settled into a cocoon of warm blankets. The herbs and heat help relax tight muscles, rehydrate dry skin, and detoxify your system. $50

Sessions are available by appointment. I recommend that you make your appointments well in advance to ensure availability. I have a 24 hour cancellation policy so schedule your massage when you are sure to be back from your activities.
