We took some time out of the hustle and bustle of the city last weekend to visit 1000 Waves Spa for the first time. Located just a few blocks from our home, this fabulous place is an oasis for women who need a bit of peace and quiet to rejuvenate them. The Spa features hot tubs, a eucalyptus steam bath, and a dry sauna. Afterwards, one can hang out in their kimono in the relaxation room, which includes a wide variety of magazines, newspapers, tea, and other beverage options. There are also little cubbies for napping in case one gets so relaxed that they need to succumb to sleep. For $20 you can spend up to 3 hours here. The spa also offers massage and aroma wraps for an additional charge.
1000 waves also has a great stress management program for cancer survivors. They offer 5 free sessions at the spa and 5 free massages to any woman who has been diagnosed with cancer. The owner of the spa is a cancer survivor herself and has lost a partner to cancer. This program is a great way to acknowledge the difficulties associated with cancer and to offer survivors a new way to deal with some of the stress. Two thumbs up on 1000 waves, way up! What a great place to have right here in the neighborhood!
We were soooo relaxed and mellow upon leaving. It was a little startling when we immediately jolted back into city life! Maybe 1000 waves should qualify as an experience rather than a place -- in any case, we can't wait to visit again!
