Services
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage treatments combine relaxation techniques with deep tissue work to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Clients can choose from multiple modalities including hot stone therapy, neuromuscular therapy, and prenatal massage. Each session is customized to address specific pain points while promoting overall wellness through targeted pressure and guided stretching techniques.
Facial Treatments
Advanced skincare services feature hydro-dermabrasion, micro-needling, and chemical peels to address various skin concerns. Our estheticians create personalized treatment plans using medical-grade products to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance natural radiance. Each facial includes a comprehensive skin analysis and customized product recommendations for ongoing care.
Infrared Sauna
The infrared sauna provides deep-penetrating heat therapy that promotes detoxification, improves circulation, and supports muscle recovery. This non-invasive treatment helps reduce inflammation, relieve joint pain, and enhance overall wellness through controlled heat exposure. Sessions can be combined with other treatments for comprehensive wellness benefits.
HOCATT Therapy
HOCATT ozone sauna therapy delivers multi-modal wellness benefits through steam, light, and ozone exposure. This treatment enhances cellular oxygenation, supports immune function, and promotes detoxification through combined therapeutic modalities. Sessions help improve energy levels, reduce stress, and support overall systemic wellness in a controlled environment.
Body Scrub
Our body scrub treatments use natural exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture. The polishing process enhances circulation, prepares skin for other treatments, and leaves the body feeling smooth and rejuvenated. When combined with sauna sessions, these treatments maximize detoxification benefits and skin renewal processes.

I booked a 90 minute massage and was told when I checked in that it’s a 60 minute massage. I was called the night before to confirm my 90 minute massage. How within 24 hours something changed is beyond me. This is my second time giving this facility a chance. If you like dry scalp massages, lotion that smells like plastic, rude front staff, and massages with no consistency.. this is the place for you!

Facility, front desk, and masseuse were nice enough. However, I booked a therapeutic massage for 80 minutes and the masseuse spent maybe 5-10 minutes working on that area. I know everything is connected and to relieve discomfort in one area you sometimes need to address another area, but Ive had enough therapeutic massages to know she did not do what was requested. Additionally, the next day I woke up with so much neck and back pain that I can not bend over, look down, or turn my head side to side. Again, I know some muscle soreness is common, but I would put this at level 8-9 pain that is still
