| - So, despite living close to Vivita Spa, I hadn't heard of it until I saw a deal on Groupon ($75 for a one hour massage AND a one hour facial). I was WAAAY overdue for some pampering. Now we all know that there are a lot of... well...not so great businesses on Groupon, so I did my due dilligence. I read a bunch of reviews and decided that this sounded like the place for me. I called and left a voicemail, Vivita called me back that same day, super professional and friendly. We booked my appointment (within just a few days of my calling) and I was good to go. I arrived (it's a red door, the building is shared by two therapists as well as Vivita Spa), rang the labelled doorbell and Vivita came down, calm and smiling to welcome me in (note: I did ask later to make sure there was no one else there, and she said that she leaves half an hour between appointments so that there isn't any interruption for the client). We went up a set of stairs, past a nice seating area, into the spa room. The second I walked in, my stress level decreased and I felt relaxed already! You enter and are enveloped by the soothing smells of essential oils, a (cute) little humidifier going, calming music, soft lighting - da bomb! The room has soft lighting, a sink two massage tables (couples massage anyone?) a comfortable bench to sit on etc. There's a bathroom right next door to the room. Vivita offered me some water or tea and we sat down, I filled out the forms she gave me, we chatted and then she left the room so I could tear my clothes off (I don't waste time when it comes to this kind of stuff) and hop up onto the massage table. Vivita could not have made me feel more comfortable. She was kind and helpful, willing to talk when I wanted or just be quiet when I wanted to zone out. First I had the massage, and then (bonus!) you can stay on the massage table for the facial - hell yeah! So, after cleansing and doing lots of soothing things to my face (all sorts of pleasant, soothing things, I didn't ask, didn't care at this point because I was so relaxed), she warned me that she would be putting on the bright (tell all) light onto my face. She did the steam and extractions and then massaged in a bunch of soothing after lotions/moisturizers etc. Vivita makes her own skin potions and will happily explain to you what is in them. She went way over time and I left there feeling relaxed, cared for and pampered. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back!
