Washougal, WA Spa and Massage

The exposed grains of the wood-hulled Scandinavian-styled saunporium accent the deliberately minimalist aesthetic. The cedar-sauna smells of the forest in summertime swirl through the air, and the chill lounge (AC-cooled in warmer months) offers plenty of opportunity to pick up your lost sweat drops and browse the spa's Dr. Hauschka holistic skincare line. Though not included in the Groupon, you can also purchase single shots of sea-salt body scrubs or masks and apply them yourself in-sauna–no frissy-fussy sauna-maiden or manden required. For a wetter, more equatorial heat, patter your bare feet no further than the steam room.

Bohemian Massage & Bodywork's featured massage therapist, Valerie Kelly, honed her craft at chiropractic offices, spas, and sports-treatment facilities for years. This diversity has helped Valerie develop a signature massage style that fuses therapeutic care with spa-like pampering. Her roster includes clinical treatments, such as therapeutic massages to help rehabilitate after auto accidents and sports-related barroom brawls. She can also perform lavish seaweed wraps and sugar and salt body scrubs. As a trained doula, she has the know-how to help ease pregnancy woes with labor and birth massages or memorialize the experience with plaster belly casts of expectant mothers.

Pure Salon Spa, an Aveda Concept Salon, is located in a historic building with a brick and glass façade that's crowned by rows of neatly trimmed greenery. A retail shop occupies the first floor, where a full selection of Aveda products offers glimpses into the masterful work performed by nearby stylists as they shape hair and breathe new color into each strand. Nearby, waxing specialists rid skin of unwanted hair and cosmetic experts help brides prepare to stun their partners, guests, and photographers with dazzling makeup.

Clients seeking full body care need only ascend to the second floor, where skincare specialists outsmart wrinkles and blemishes with revitalizing facials that include cameos by steam towels, foot baths, and massages. The top-floor oasis also echoes with the relieved sighs of fingers and toes as nail technicians groom and spoil them with mango butters, peppermint exfoliants, and videos of pistachio shells being mercilessly cracked open.

Using their extensive training and diverse backgrounds, A Renassiance's team of wellness professionals aims to help bodies heal naturally. Licensed massage therapists reduce chronic pain and increase flexibility with a range of manipulations that include sports massage, deep tissue work, and lymphatic massage. Meanwhile, the medical staff provides comprehensive family and women’s healthcare. They manage pain with traditional Western chiropractic care and ancient oriental medical practices including acupuncture and smile-inducing origami.

Walking into an art museum and asking the docent for a neck massage may not be the best idea. But at Comma, guests enjoy relaxing massages and reflexology, mani-pedis, facials, and haircuts within an emery board's throw of a gallery full of ever-changing artwork by local photographers and painters. They can soak up the attention with a glass of wine in hand, which is often also produced locally.

Aestheticians and massage therapists even incorporate the therapeutic power of grapes into their treatments, using vinotherapy products formulated with grapes and byproducts of winemaking, such as happiness. The potent ingredients work their free-radical-fighting magic as clients lounge in chairs that recline into beds beneath sparking chandeliers and a flickering fireplace.
