DAY SPAS FOR YOGIS
Yogitimes June 2004
WILLOW SPA
BY SOPHIE PARIENTI
Who would think that behind a wooden fence on Santa Monica Boulevard , Wendy, Coco and Jill, three dedicated and knowledgeable women, offer a unique escape from the busy city. Built in a former residential house, Willow Spa has four beautifully decorated rooms in which a variety of treatments are performed, including Reiki sessions, Thai massage, skin care, live blood analysis, and even yoga. Behind the spa, a stone pathway leads to cabanas that house therapeutic Japanese Enzyme Bathes. All the treatments start with a saltwater footbath and massage, tea and some fruit. In addition to this I was offered an enzyme "potion" to enhance my treatment. After a facial, a Thai massage and Rieki session, I felt rested, revitalized and no urgency to leave. Dressed in my little white "kimono" and charming slippers from Thailand , I browsed the small but tasteful boutique for some of the products I was advised to try. The experience ended with a blood analysis, a snapshot for the current state of the blood, with Dr. Darco Juric. This analysis can help reveal the need for dietary or lifestyle changes to help enhance emotional and physical health. I left Willow Spa feeling renewed, relaxed and inspired. All treatments $80 each.
