Experiencing Something NEW…Every month. :)
My friend Marie and I have decided to do our own (unscientific) experiment every month. Between us we will experience something new every month (which means between us that’s ‘two’ new things) and then we’ll blog about it and share our experience of it with you.
We also encourage you to go out and experience something new as well and share it with us.
So yesterday I went to Pure Energy ~ hair & Body Spa and I experienced for the first time in my life, an ‘Aveda Hydrotherm Massage.’ What an incredible treat this was and I know that I’ll be going for one again but it will be probably when the cooler weather comes in. So here is a description that they give of it and then I’ll share my experience of it.
“Exclusive to Aveda Lifestyle Salon and Spas. Discover a new dimension to the nurturing art of massage. Warm water filled cushions cradle your body creating warmth from head to toe, easing the strain on muscles as your Spa Therapist reaches deeply stressed areas. All of the benefits of traditional massage, without the normal challenges. No turning over, no face cradles – just uninterrupted relaxation. Designed for maximum comfort, Hydrotherm changes your perception of massage.”
So I have to say that although my intention was to go for a massage, it was more of an experience. Even the owner is there to great you when you walk through the doors. This is certainly something that I’ve never seen. Of course there’s paper work to fill out because it was my first time going to this Spa. When they handed me a sheet on how my skin felt on my face, I thought…Ummm, I don’t think I need this. Well guess what? I did. As explained by Breanne, they’re looking at bringing balance back to your body – so yes in fact they did need to know how I was feeling yesterday, Body – Mind and Spirit because that is how they work. Pure Energy offers a holistic spa experience and let me tell you that it is, an experience.
After I filled everything out, I go out back to the treatment room. As I walk in, I see a large bowl on the floor in-front of an incredible comfy chair. Hmmm, a foot soak to get me started. Whoohooo! 
They already had me at ‘Hello’ as I walked through the door but Oh my…there’s more. As I’m soaking my feet (with smooth stones in the bottom of the container) my senses continue to be stimulated. Breanne asks me to close my eyes as she chooses three different oils to see which one will bring balance to me. I close my eyes and inhale. I take a deep breath, and the wave carries me to a state of relaxation. Now there’s two more oils to try and the answer was No, to the others. This was so much more than I could have ever imagined. Before I forget I have to share this as well. The oil that they use to nurture your body and soul, is…heated. Yessss, indeed ‘heated.’ Talk about relaxing. The owner and Breanne talked about a “Sensory Journey” and let me tell you, that is exactly what this experience is.
I’ve heard of Aveda products before and I didn’t know what they were about. ”Pure Energy” offers organic plant based hair care, make-up, spa and wellness products to support your life style…AND, it’s apparent from the moment you walk through the doors.
An incredible journey was what I experienced and I’m going to share my experience with everyone that I know. I’ve never felt more relaxed after a massage than I did yesterday. Because I didn’t have to ‘flip over’ I was able to truly relax. This is a new massage which will definitely change your perception of what a massage is or can be.
Letting Go Of The Past AND…Growing Forward.
