A Spa For You in Sedona, Arizona, is perfect if you're looking for a gifted massage therapist, want reasonable prices, and don't need glitz. It's located in a one-bedroom apartment (the apartment is the spa) off the main road through West Sedona. You won't find lavish locker rooms and plunge pools, but it's a serene retreat where you'll find top-quality treatments at reasonable prices.
Thea Draaimsa is the highly talented owner, and in a town known for great massage therapists, she is one of the best. She designed the treatments and does most of them herself.
What You Need to Know About A Spa For You
- A Spa For You is a great place to go for top-quality, affordable therapeutic massage. It's not a "glamour spa" to hang around in your robe.
- Thea has designed her own interesting, unique treatments and does most of the services herself. She brings in other select therapists for four-handed massage, couples treatments and groups up to three.
- Thea's particular specialty is Trager, a technique that uses gentle rocking motions to help your body release tension and restore its own natural rhythm. I had a Trager treatment and it was very soothing, working on both mind and body.
- You'll love the attention to details, like the cozy flannel and silky jersey sheets she uses on the treatment table. You can also buy the towel mitts that she uses in some of her treatments (part of her Dutch upbringing.)
- Thea created her own line of skin and body products called Lafemation, free of parabens, fillers, artificial colors and scents. She uses it in her signature Lafemation body wrap, which includes body brushing, foot reflexology, and massage, and a Japanese-facial massage called Kobido that improves facial appearance and balances chi ki (your bio-electrical flow).
- Her most popular treatment is the Signature Sedona Experience, a customized massage that combines gemstone polarity balancing, Trager, Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone and cool marble stone highlights.
- Since you basically come, get your treatment, and go, remember to relax when you get back to your home or hotel room. That will help the treatment do its work.
