A quaint veranda welcomes guests into Mountain Oasis Day Spa with an interior permeated by hardwood floors and cozy waiting chairs. Licensed acupuncturist and longtime shiatsu practitioner Peter Shea approaches health and wellness problems with holistic answers. He learned this treatment mentality while earning his master's of oriental medicine at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine in Santa Fe. Joanne Shea, Peter's partner and an instructor in Eastern medicine at the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork, plays her part by calming achy muscles and improving sluggish circulation with a slate of massages. Aesthetician Christi Dilts rounds out the team with her facials and waxing services to render skin as soft as a chinchilla's loofah.
