| - Oh my stars and garters...this IS as good as it gets. I only wish I was rich so that I could afford to have these kinds of luxuries on a regular basis!
I've been to Healthwinds now a total of three times - the most recent of which was to treat my Mom for Mother's Day to a girls' spa day. She got the facial and I tried hydrotherapy for the first time. We both came out looking like we were just plunked here from another planet, that's how ridiculously relaxed we were. I don't even think I remembered my own name.
Kat was my massage therapist and she escorted me into the large specialty tub from Baden-Baden, Germany which had a gazillion jets all around the perimeter. She filled the tub with warm water and added lavender-scented salts and orange oil (scents that I chose) to further enhance the relaxing ambience. As I half-floated and half sank into the moulded seat, and let my head be enveloped by the U-shaped cushion around my neck, Kat used a hose attachment that acted as an independent jet to go around my body and massage my lymph nodes, joints and limbs for a full 45 minutes. About ten minutes into the session, my stress melted into a puddle of nothingness and bliss took over. I could've been in outer space. The weightlessness combined with the hydro-massage felt like floating in Heaven. I could have easily slipped into a coma and been quite happy to never come out of it.
Then, to top off my experience, after the 45 minute hydrotherapy, Kat escorted me to one of the massage rooms and she gave me a half-hour table massage. Holy mother of pearl and all that is good with the world, this woman has magical hands that worked wonders on my kinks and knots. I wanted to tell her I loved her after our time was over but instead, I thanked her and told her I would take her card and definitely book with her again. That was the BEST massage combination I've ever had and I can't wait to make my next appointment.
