Massage reservations are not required, but are recommended! We take walk-ins when there are openings but the schedule often fills up. So plan ahead if you can!
We require a 24 hour notice to cancel your massage. If you cancel with less than 24 hours before your massage, we ask that you pay for the time you scheduled. Cancelling with short notice reduces the therapists chances of making money for the time scheduled. If someone else wanted the time that you scheduled, the therapists loses the ability to make money for that time. We ask that you consider this when cancelling.
Bring your own plastic water bottle and fill it up here.
Rent or bring 2 towels - one to sit and sweat on, and one to get squeaky clean when you're done. Sitting on a towel is required for your personal health and hygiene and for the cleanliness of the spa.
Limit your time in the hot tub, sauna, or steam room to a maximum of 15 minutes at a time. Cool down and drink water between heat sources. Avoid overheating!
Soak naked - it feels great! Bathing suits may be worn but are not encouraged.
