Southlake, TX Spa and Massage

Named one of the Top Spas and Med Spas in Tarrant County by the Fort Worth Business Press in 2009, The Spa At The Village's aestheticians rejuvenate clients' skin and spirits with spa and holistic treatments. The extensive roster of services, which ranges from facials, nailcare, and massages to hydrotherapy and weight loss, helps guests balance internal health and external beauty.

Spa parties make each birthday or bachelorette party a simultaneously fun and beautifying event, and the wellness club can help celebrate birthdays and holidays with special promotions and gifts. The spa's boutique also hawks high-end organic Éminence products, HerbaSway serums, and vegan FarmHouse Fresh products, ensuring that clients can exfoliate, tone, and moisturize the complexion of a favorite teddy bear or a sleeping grandmother in the comfort of their own homes.

Manager Roselie Bones, an aesthetician and beauty therapist trained in European techniques, handpicks each of Déjà Vu European Spa & Salon's contemporary spa therapists. For more than a quarter century, they have aimed to pamper clients and relieve tension, carefully crafting an environment that engages the senses and helps banish stress. A lineup of facials blends natural elixirs such as botanicals and sea minerals to combat wrinkles, acne, and other blemishes, and several massage modalities, including Swedish, sports, and reflexology, relax guests faster than a pillow stuffed with Enya CDs. Aestheticians dazzle digits with mani-pedis and smoothly evict unwanted body hair with waxing services. Comprehensive spa packages treat individuals, couples, and wedding parties to cosmetic treatments coupled with toasty sessions in a steam bath and shower, with many packages capped off with light refreshments or lunch from a nearby Olive Garden.

The licensed massage therapists at Elements Therapeutic Massage listen to their clients needs and employ proper techniques to provide a therapeutic experience with their restorative bodywork. Therapeutic massage benefits are a medically proven method of supporting health and wellness and vary according to technique. Clients may choose flowing Swedish strokes to promote relaxation and stress reduction or access lower-layer aches with deep-tissue or trigger-point techniques for relief from back and neck pain. Sports massages are also available to improve range of motion and performance in athletes.

Licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist Ariana Geoffrey Stahlka strives to restore the body's balance and harmony with alternative-medicine techniques. Stahlka earned a MS in Oriental medicine and a BS in nutrition at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, one of the first colleges of acupuncture and Oriental medicine in the United States. She works along the body's energy meridians as outlined in traditional Chinese medicine, using acupuncture to alleviate chronic pain, fatigue, depression, and even aesthetic concerns. She navigates those same meridians during Krashada acupressure-therapy sessions, which uses pressure from hands to help enhance energy flow and release blockages that may cause physical pain, mental discomfort, or poor decision-making during Final Jeopardy!

Along with classic massage techniques, Stahlka utilizes craniosacral and multibody-release therapies to enhance motor function. Her background in nutrition allows her to address physical ailments with the complex art of Chinese herbology.

Licensed massage therapist Christina Pocharasang at Natural Art of Massage relieves clenched muscles and tense minds with a retinue of modalities. With the aid of all-natural creams and oils, her sweeping strokes spell out Swedish and deep-tissue movements that dispel stress and unravel knots in backs, shoulders, and limbs. The bodywork specialist also treats skin to natural facials and harnesses the penetrating heat of warm river stones to release knots without touching them, much like a Boy Scout with telekinesis.

Some people call her a ninja. Some people call her Otter. But Cristy Childers calls herself a massage therapist, and a licensed one at that, able to find and knead buried points of tension with precision. As for the nickname, it was given her by her friends and family, and it’s the reason she named her business Otter’s Retreat.

Childers consults with her clients before every massage to pinpoint their areas of tension and permanent body armor. “Massage is a dance,” she writes, and “it takes two people to make it awesome.” Her Western and Eastern massage treatments are all performed in a pristine room with no aromatherapy—Childers deliberately keeps the space scent-free and does not perform massages on smokers to accommodate clients with allergies.
