Like a barefoot gallop across a wheat-grass sod farm, a foot massage at a natural spa abets pleasant conspiracies. Conspire to destroy stress and soreness with today's Groupon: $27 for an aromatherapy foot massage (a $70 value) at Comfort & Joy Wellness Spa in Fairfax. Featured in Northern Virginia Magazine and Washingtonian, Comfort & Joy is a wellness spa that joyfully comforts spa goers with a combination of comfort, joy, and thunderstorm-dispelling spa wands.
You'll receive a 30-minute foot massage ($60 value) with natural tea tree herbal lotion and Pure Joy essential oil ($10 add-on value). Comfort & Joy's friendly, expert therapists will wrap your dogs in warmed towels before melting muscular tension with long, penetrating massage strokes. All Comfort & Joy's lotions and oils are natural and chemical-free, and all the water they use (during treatments and to drink) has been triple-filtered and double-checked by a singing otter.
Comfort & Joy's cozy spa offers private massage rooms outfitted with comfy blankets and textures, cream-colored walls, and serene wall art. The environmentally friendly spa, featured as an EcoSpa on DiscoverSpas.com, follows eco-friendly practices (such as a recycling program), and it supports Fair Trade companies. Call ahead to book your appointment.
Reviews
The Washingtonian featured the spa, and Northern Virginia Magazine recommended Comfort & Joy, saying:
- Owner Julie Smalfelt has created a spa that appeals to the general public and is safe for those with immunological issues or severe allergies. Even the water is triple-filtered. – Sarah Markel, Northern Virginia Magazine
Yahoo! Locals and four Yelpers give Comfort & Joy four stars, while two Citysearchers award it a near-perfect 4.5:
- Comfort and Joy is the perfect relaxation tool for all my stressful days. I love the atmosphere and all the therapists I have worked with are positive and very wonderful at what they do. – tinkerbelle2425, Yahoo! Local
- Absolutely wonderful experience! I relaxed and enjoyed some tea listening to soothing music before my massage. The massage was awesome...I definitely must return! – Lalaland, Yahoo! Local
Groupon Says
I Need You to Knead Me
Relaxologists, as well as most licensed scented-candle technicians, agree that American relaxation levels (measured in units known as "Codys," after ultra-relaxed Step By Step slacker-savant Cody Lambert) are at an all-time low. A much-needed foot massage can restore your Cody levels to normal, but take caution— too much relaxation may have unexpected consequences:
+10 Codys: Slightly out-of-reach remote control determined to be not worth pursuing. Shoes remain on, but in relative disuse.
+25 Codys: Desire to obtain food via telephone thwarted by realization that most pizzerias do not deliver sheet cake. Shoes are removed without use of hands.
+50 Codys: Skin begins to soften, secreting a thin, mucousy substance smelling strongly of violets. Remote control chooses to come to you. Good boy.
+75 Codys: Sudden, pleasing recollection of Microsoft Bob. Skin continues to grow tender to the point of being gelatinous. A series of letter z's emanates from your head, visible only to infants and dogs.
+100 Codys: Spontaneous de-evolution into mollusk-like creature with vague memories of being human, but lacking cognitive capacity to fear or lament its frightening transition. Roommate comes home early with sausage pizza and the first season of Pushing Daisies. Good boy.
