Kitchener Spa and Massage

Cara Robertson isn't confined by her spa's four walls. Cara and Para Vida's squad of trained technicians also travel to homes, offices, and human-sized hermit-crab shells to lavish customers with the centre's slate of spa services, each of which embraces vegan products. Wherever the staff goes, paraben-free cleansers fuel five specialized facials, and essential oils bolster aromatherapy massages to help ease weary muscles and whirring minds. Cara's staff also journeys to nursing homes, where they perform gentle skincare and massage services for those more comfortable staying put.

The services at Forever Young Day Spa span the whole body, resurfacing facial skin, erasing stretch marks and leg veins, transferring fat from torsos, and zapping away unwanted hair. Holistic Eastern therapies—in particular, acupuncture and reflexology—promote inner harmony, and massage treatments reward aching muscles by repeatedly whacking them with double thumbs ups. A registered skincare specialist is in charge of creating custom products for clients, products which shore up the nourishing power of Forever Young's vitamin C, tropical, and chocolate scrubs and wraps.

Saltcave Solana’s powder-dusted cavern looks like a polar bear’s hibernation den, until you notice the lounge chairs. The creatures that dwell here are modern humans, and the wonder that draws them is as old as time itself. Here, they relax amid Himalayan salt crystals, which fill the air with therapeutic properties. As music whisks minds to tranquil states, minerals vaporize themselves into tiny, breathable particles of the tasty mineral, which may ease symptoms of allergies, asthma, and some skin conditions. By infusing the space with negative ions, the saline mist can also help stave off colds and slug invasions. Safe for both children and adults, the cave teems with toys and blankets, which the salt divests of bacteria. The space fits up to eight people, making it a popular venue for yoga and Pilates classes.

Beyond the cave lies an infrared sauna, which helps melt away stress, pain, and toxins as it boosts the heart rate and circulation. Nearby, kneading experts perform Thai massages, gently easing bodies into yoga-like poses designed to dissolve tension, increase joint mobility, and make energy flow freely, like a river stocked with coupons.

Luisa Mora has had a passion for beauty since childhood. Now, as a trained aesthetician and manager of Eva Angelina Spa, she's living her dream—helping clients feel good both in and out of clothes with revivifying spa services and body-reshaping clothing. The spa's massage services knead out tension, while ion cleansing withdraws toxins from the body to enhance the feeling of well-being. Skincare treatments, including microdermabrasion, facials, and peels, fight signs of aging and reduce the appearance of skin imperfections that are difficult to obscure with makeup or tinted monocles.

Body-shaping jeans hug their owners in comfort and are designed to enhance natural curves and lift the backside. The tight fit allows for a slimmer silhouette and four shape options invite wearers of many body types.

At El Encanto Salon Spa, stylist and cosmetologist Miriam Nixon culls a diverse, international band of seasoned aestheticians. The salon and spa’s hair, skincare, and body services beautify clients with all-natural products and personalized attention.

Therapists at Heritage Way Medical Spa bestow holistic spa treatments on men and women alike within a casual, elegant atmosphere. They perform nine facials and four body treatments using Decleor products, which are composed of scented essential oils, such as chamomile, rose, and cinnamon, and natural extracts from unselfish plants. To further beautify clients' skin, they also employ medical-grade SkinTx and vitamin C-infused Vivier skin-care products, as well as antioxidant-rich glominerals makeup. While most of their treatments are natural, they sometimes turn to technology for facial peels, blending water and ultrasonic waves. They also perform custom massages to oust subdermal pains with a combination of Swedish, Thai, shiatsu, and reflexology-style strokes, and aromatherapy.
