I have been working much to hard lately so I decided it was time for a "me day" and that can only mean one thing--I headed to the Spa! However I didn't feel like travelling and I wanted to try something different so I was determined to find something in my own back yard.
In researching some local spas I came across Qphoria Tanning and Wellness . While I am not a fan of tanning booths,
Qphoria offers a number of other services that are of interest--so I booked in
for a two hour "Day of Detox" ($85). https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=430162311746
It's a treatment that comes in four parts. First you enjoy a session on a vibration
machine, which, as I have blogged about in previous posts, helps to increase
circulation boost your metabolic rate and improve lymphatic drainage helping to eliminate
toxins thus purifying the body. It also helps to build lean muscle mass and
bone density and I know from firsthand experience makes you feel good! This session also included an oxygen session
with a number of wonderful aromatherapy essential oils to choose from.
Once you are fully jiggled, wiggled and well
oxygenated you head to the Hydration Detox Chamber--a new-age version of the
old fashion steam boxes--which gently baths your skin in a dense steamy mist (48
degree C) infused with vitamins and minerals.
This treatment cleanses, removes toxins from fat cells with the
use of infrared lights and re-hydrates your skin leaving it soft, silky and
glowing. They also claim you can burn up
to 300--600 calories per session.
Spa Girl Suggests: drink water both before and after using the hydration chamber.

By this time you are well on your way to feeling
pretty darn relaxed when you are welcomed by a skilled massage practitioner for
an hour long detox massage which stimulates the lymphatic system to further
flush toxins and purify the body. I am
pretty fussy about massage work and this was the best Spa massage I have ever
had, and seeing that I have experienced many massages over the years in all
parts of the world, that is saying something--I am still raving about it! Thank you Karly!
The massage included a combination of techniques
including relaxation, myo-fascial, Swedish, crania-sacral
and hot stones. Unbelievable!
Ok I am now officially a mush ball!
On the way out you are handed a fabulous pick me up, a delicious smoothie
made with Swiss chard, kale, spinach, blueberries, bananas and organic pomegranate
juice--it quite simply does not get any better! And remember Spa Girls, all this for $85.oo!
