Hershey, PA Spa and Massage

Since 1996, Adrienne Mohn has provided pain relief and relaxation as a certified massage therapist. Her specialties range from traditional deep tissue, Swedish, and head-and-face massages, to less pervasive modalities, including French aromatherapy and energy bodywork to balance chakras drawn from Native American and Hawaiian culture. As for the benefits of her treatments, there are many, including decreased anxiety, boosted energy levels, reduced fatigue, and improved joint flexibility.

Within the Italian-inspired ambiance of Arianna's Retreat, the staff strive to create a true escape from quotidian cares and stressors. They pamper guests with spa treatments such as custom aromatherapy facials, holistic reiki energy sessions with reflexology and craniosacral therapy, and relaxing mani-pedis that soften skin with warm lotion instead of water.

The day spa offers several packages for individuals, couples, bridal parties, or dusty Civil War reenactors that can be transformed into a weekend getaway at The General Sutter Inn. Near a candle-lit fireplace in the dual massage suite, couples are treated to a 75-minute massage and can sip wine or sparkling grape juice and nosh on cheese and crackers, grapes, strawberries, and assorted chocolates in the relaxation room.

Robert Anthony's stylists and aestheticians administer hair, nail, and skin treatments in an alabaster-white salon accented with light-hued wood furnishings. Styling chairs face floor-to-ceiling mirrors where hairdressers manipulate tresses with professional products by brands such as Redken and Pureology, and nail stations are situated in front of expansive windows that reveal river views. During massages, clients lie comfortably in private treatment rooms as therapists knead away muscle tension and worries, which slide off the table to be later swept up by the evening cleaning staff.

Using nourishing minerals and herbs, mud, seaweed, and dead sea salt, the beauty experts at Cooper Spa pamper clients with time-tested, natural ingredients; but they’ll also turn to advanced technology when they need to, gently sloughing off dead skin with microdermabrasion tools, swiping glycolic acid onto faces to fade blemishes, and directing microcurrents into skin to firm muscles. Many treatments already include add-ons: hot-stone massages are enhanced with hand exfoliations, eye treatments, and foot soaks complete with rubber duckies, and aromatherapy enhances Swedish kneads and body wraps.
