THE SPA EXPERIENCE

When you’re ready for a relaxing experience, nothing beats a full-
service spa especially when massage is involved. The human touch
is one of the most healing self-care routines you can indulge in
and more people are turning to massage for stress relief and over-
all wellness. The power of the human touch is extremely healing.
Family therapist Virginia Satir once said, “We need four hugs a day
for survival. We need eight hugs a day for maintenance. We need
12 hugs a day for growth.” According to the Mayo Clinic, the
therapeutic benefits of massage help to relieve anxiety, eliminate
headaches and improve sleep patterns.
