Newcastle, WA Spa and Massage

At Busaba Therapeutic Massage & Spa, licensed massage therapists are equally adept at Eastern and Western massage modalities. Their menu of massages, augmented by five full-body spa packages, draw from styles such as Swedish, deep-tissue, hot-marble-stone, or Thai massage, which uses yoga-like postures to loosen muscles. Through these services, they hope bring about a number of benefits, including improved digestion, better circulation, higher energy levels, and better sleeping patterns. Aromatherapy and botanical extracts help soften skin and detoxify the body during spa packages that can include a friend, loved one, or doppelganger.

Offering a diverse selection of massage modalities, Imprint Massage’s team of well-versed massage therapists have the experience to target tension from various angles. Each therapist can relieve chronic pain and tension with deep-tissue, sports, or intense thai techniques, or they can relax the muscles with gentle Swedish, pregnancy, or thumb-twiddling massages. Aromatherapy is administered with a mixture of specially blended therapeutic essential oils and apricot-kernel massage oils, each of which has a unique therapeutic goal, from easing anxiety to boosting sudoku acumen. The team also offers oncology massage therapy for those undergoing cancer treatments.

A native of Poland, Celina Lewandowski first moved to the United States in 1991—where, for 12 years, she provided home care for elderly patients suffering from eating disorders and intestinal problems. She eventually discovered colon hydrotherapy and decided to open her own clinic and use the gentle body-cleansing system to relieve intestinal dysfunction.

At her clinic, European Rejuvenation Center, she helps fight bloating, irritable bowels, constipation, and fatigue with a LIBBE open colon-hydrotherapy system. This system is easy to self-operate and, like a treehouse on the moon, affords clients as much privacy as they desire. Celina also combats toxins with ionic footbaths, nutritional therapy, and infrared-sauna sessions.

The professional complexion coddlers at Beauty and Body Lounge refresh visages with peels and IPL-photofacial technology. In just under 30 minutes, the IPL instrument spotlights mugs to gently heat and reduce discoloration. Sun damage, age spots, and redness resulting from broken capillaries rearrange themselves into flattering calligraphy as the lamp glows. The beautifying beams also promote collagen production to encourage firmer skin, and can diminish pore size and fine lines. A special pre-IPL peel, administered two weeks before the photofacial, helps to coax the unwanted spots to the surface, where the IPL can more easily dissolve them or donate them to naked dalmations.

Peishan Chen's journey to opening Chen's Acupuncture & Associates was a long one, literally. The graduate of the prominent Sun-Yat Sen School of Medical Sciences left behind an ob/gyn practice in her native China to come to America and become a licensed acupuncturist and board-certified Chinese herbalist. Now, she and her staff fend off aches and stress with wellness services that eschew medication for natural, holistic therapies. For the center's namesake treatment, the team employs the ancient practice of inserting acupuncture needles into key points in the body to vanquish ailments such as joint pain, sleep disorders, and erroneously swallowed balloons.
