Tavares, FL Spa and Massage

James M. Scholes, the lead staffer at Amache Day Spa and Wellness Center, has trained for more than 1,200 hours in massage and body treatments. His services may enhance athletes’ performance or ameliorate injuries, including knee injuries and eyelash entanglements. Scholes treats aches with a variety of massage modalities—helping to release accumulated muscular tension with deep-tissue massage, and rejuvenating the corpus with relaxing strokes and an application of heat during Swedish massages with hot stones. In addition to massages, Scholes issues body treatments such as a Dead Sea salt exfoliation treatment, which removes defunct cells and leaves bodies smooth and glowing.

Pure Wellness Co.’s Kristin Evans, a licensed massage therapist and former triathlon lifeguard, plunged into massage therapy to help overworked bodies heal more quickly. Her menu of corporeal upgrades runs the gamut from intensive sports and deep-tissue massage that alleviates persistent pain to Swedish massage and stretching sessions designed to relax reeling minds. Kristin and her staff also focus on cosmetic treatments, such as a parafango mud wrap, which helps shrink waistlines and smooth cellulite. Add-ons such as hot stones, aromatherapy, and operatically trained crickets level up relaxation. Patrons high-kick out of the office with more limber joints, less fatigue, sharper concentration, and a host of other benefits.

Their dedication to their clients landed them a place on Talk of the Town's 2011 roster of winning businesses, thanks to cozy pedicure thrones with built-in shiatsu massage and a pipeless system that reduces bacterial growth. While clients recline, meditative music plays and staffers communicate with their guests in both English and Spanish. In addition to skin-nurturing mud and herbal facials, L'Europe Nails and Spa also tightens and refurbishes epidermises with Thermage and Fraxel laser treatments performed by Dr. Iris Ayala.
