| - My boyfriend and I aren't your typical Scottsdale Spa-goers. We can't really budget for such luxuries currently and we don' really fit the image of spa-goer either, what with the tattoos, etc. That certainly doesn't mean we don't need these luxuries! We received a gift card for a couples' massage for Christmas. It is now the end of May and we finally had a day we could devote to "us".
Our entire day at the spa was such a treat. We enjoyed yoga, lunch, the pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and deep tissue massages. I have been known to have some sort of preconceived ideas that I may be treated differently based on our appearances and/or socioeconomic status. I should note that these ideas never made it from my brain to my mouth. They are based solely on my past supporting an idea that just don't fit in in Scottsdale (I don't really want to either). This is all on me, and wrongly so. The staff were all so very genuine. Everyone made sure we were enjoying ourselves every step of the way. We were treated respectfully and with kindness constantly. Thank you for proving my inner insecurities wrong! It was greatly appreciated and made for an even more fantastic experience.
Specifics:
Yoga-
We were lead by a very supportive David. He listened to where we were, what our needs were, and guided us through a challenging practice. We both left feeling challenged, relaxed, strong, and clear minded. A great start to a spa day!
Lunch-
There is a small menu (which makes sense) and not too many vegetarian/vegan options. We were able to make 2 of the salads vegan and they were delicious! They serve a soda and a cookie with the meal, but after yoga I didn't feel much like having all that sugar. I chose a prickly pear soda (when in Rome...) and drank a bit of it. It was tasty, but I really just needed water.
And now the massage!-
When these ladies say deep tissue, they don't mess around. I carry the stresses of being a single mom, a middle school math teacher, and local union vice presidency on my shoulders... and they weren't afraid to dig and and get some real work done! My boyfriend is a mechanic and was equally impressed with the progress in loosening his neck and shoulders. Like I said, we really can't budget for these luxuries, but we neeeeeed them! And our experience at Spa Lamar really helped loosen up the stresses.
We are truly grateful for our relaxing day. Thanks Spa Lamar for giving us a wonderful day of togetherness, relaxation, and mostly for treating us so genuinely. You run a great business and I hope to save up for another visit!
