sanctuate!, San Diego

The services at sanctuate! feast visitors with a cornucopia of relaxing stimuli that engages all five senses, easing muscles and minds into states of complete bliss without undressing, ruining hair and makeup, or the application of oil. Clients enter a private treatment room where an Inada Sogno DreamWave massage bed scans musclescapes with its intelligent far-infrared scanner, seeking out tense spots and deploying its troop of rollers and kneaders to coax out knots. While clients’ muscles submit to the DreamWave’s precision strokes, Bose noise-cancelling headphones trickle soft music into ears while a flat-panel television displays soothing images. To enhance the relaxing sessions, aromatherapy fragrances waft over olfactories and clients can savor squares of gourmet chocolate.
