What is a customary gratuity?

We often get asked what is considered a "good tip" to leave for a therapist? Generally a client can follow these guidelines: 15% for a "Satisfactory" service, 20% for "Excellent" service and 20 plus% for "Superior" service. We are appreciative of any gratuities given and they are optional and at the client's discretion. We thank you for your continued business.

How to maintain serenity after your home spa treatment

1. Turn off the noise! Enjoy your time. Enjoy a moment of silence. Tune into and connect with your inner self.

2. Breathe deeply because it clears the mind by stimulating the circulation of blood and delivering a fresh dose of oxygen to your brain, cells and organs. So inhale deeply through your nostrils into your abdomen. Then slowly exhale through your mouth from the abdomen. Do this at least five times a day.

3. Be a cat! Relax your body from head to toe. Flatten your back against your mattress and flex. Flex your feet. Stretch your arms overhead as high as you can reach and relax.

4. Relax your manner and lower your voice.

5. Daily dry skin brushing makes your skin silky smooth, improves blood and lymph circulation and helps to keep cellulite at bay.

6. Use the stairs whenever possible to improve cardio fitness.

7. Healthy eating. Savor your food. Pay attention to the color and taste . Chew slowly and enjoy all aspects of this edible blessing.

8. Just do it! Light a candle, draw a bath and get in. Embrace solitude and enjoy the bliss.

9. Visualize yourself as BEAUTIFUL because you are! Even if you think your physical features are less than perfect, remember beauty is more than the way you look. It's about looking at your mirror image and having positive feelings instead of negative thoughts.

10. Enjoy your life! Take time to smell the roses. Balance your work and family responsibilities with 'play' and free time.
