Cheryl Henderson's interest in natural methods of healing the body, mind and spirit has led her to opening the first and only spa truly in the Everglades, Spa-Fari. Cheryl is a licensed aesthetician and offers treatments listed below. In the fall of 2001, she will be qualified as a massage therapist and expand her service offerings. 

Spa-Fari is a little day spa with big ideas. The Spa-Fari Escape Package is one, for instance. Begin your escape with a private scenic tour around historic Everglades City. Your host will provide fascinating narration about places, people and events with an emphasis on the rich local history. Then you'll choose from the following:

• Airboat Tour through the Everglades

• Assortment of other nearby local attractions

Lunchtime features delicious gourmet health food prepared to your taste and physical needs.

After lunch, you'll be escorted to the Spa-Fari Salon to enjoy wonderful treats designed to relax and renew you inside and out such as a deep cleansing aromatherapy facial or relaxing Swedish massage. 

Your day ends with the gift of a personalized Photo Journal and other souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful  Everglades Spa-Fari Escape.
