News & Specials

September 05 2020 Judie Ochsner

Have you been thinking of getting a spa treatment but you keep putting it off? Now is the perfect time to book an appointment and take advantage of our September specials:

Save 10% on any service received between now and September 30th. You save and our therapists stay busy - an all around win!

Also, with any service received before the end of September, you'll receive your choice of a complimentary 4 oz. bottle of Dr. Brite Citrus Hand Sanitizer or a bar of our popular Adams Handmade Soaps.

We are also offering our popular Coola Suncare products at a 30% discount. Let us know what you would like and we'll arrange a contactless pick-up.

We have temporarily reduced our hours but hope to return to our regular schedule in the next month or two when we hope to be open 7 days a week again.

Keeping our clients and staff safe is our top priority. In preparation for reopening the spa, we've made many state-mandated as well as voluntary changes and upgrades to our facility and to our services. These changes, as well as other cost increases we've incurred over the past few years, have added significant operating and capital expenses to our budget. As a result, before reopening in July we made the difficult decision to raise the prices of our services. As in the past, we will price-protect any outstanding gift certificate for a specific service for two years from the original purchase date.

We are happy to announce that we plan to re-open Essential Therapies on July 20th, and we would like you to know that your safety and the safety of our staff is our top priority as we move forward.  We will follow all national and state guidelines as we endeavor to make your next visit with us as comfortable and safe as possible. To accomplish this, we are instituting new cleaning, booking, screening, check in, contact tracing, treatment, and payment procedures. We will start with a somewhat limited schedule of appointment times and service types until we can gauge the new level of demand for the services we offer.
