Stress Free Therapeutic Massage's licensed massage therapists live up to the business's name with soothing treatments customized to each individual's needs. Following an initial consultation, clients head to one of the studio's serene treatment rooms where cushy pillows cover massage tables amid soft lighting and tranquil artwork. Here, the massage therapist combines a range of techniques—Swedish, deep tissue, sports, and aromatherapy—to quell specific ailments, including work-related stress or injuries from Civil War reenactments that got too real. Throughout treatment, the practitioners may call upon products such as Prossage massage oils or Biofreeze pain reliever.

Like a cottage out of a fairy tale, A Petite Retreat is framed by lush greenery and cobblestone pathways. Thankfully, there are no wolves in disguise roaming the halls of this charming spa—only the faint aroma of lavender and a friendly staff that will lead you to a private treatment room.

That's not to say an experience at A Petite Retreat is anything less than enchanting. The spa's two licensed massage therapists come equipped with organic healing ointments and warm heating pads that prepare muscles for custom Swedish and deep-tissue massages. The duo's facials brighten complexions with vitamin-C and grape-vine extracts, and their body scrubs soften skin with an aquatic blend of mud and sea salt as they croon relaxing whale songs.

Hardwood floors, soft lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows, and abstract floral paintings comprise Spa Epoche's 3,500-square-foot studio, ensconced in Renaissance Hotel's Patriot Place. Only those aged 17 and older can enter, and all cell phones must be turned off. Inside the quiet space, Aveda's flower- and plant-based products aid both stylists—as they trim tresses and perform conditioning treatments—and massage therapists—as they work muscles free of tension during Swedish or hot-stone massages. Utilizing SkinCeuticals products, skin experts condition or firm faces, smooth age lines, and clear acne with a series of peels.

The charming The Petite Retreat Day Spa calls to mind an old English Tudor home that is anachronistically occupied by a team of licensed aestheticians. Working efficiently, the aestheticians infuse faces with vitamins and minerals, gently smoothing down fine lines with the aid of an ultrasound machine. They scrub away dead skin with the help of organic brown sugar and sea salts blended with essential oils, wax away unwanted hair, and cover bodies with airbrush tans.
