West and East Lealman, FL Spa and Massage

Yvonne Armour’s self-named skincare clinic is just one of several ventures she’s taken as a healer. Her resumé includes work as a radiation therapist, certified herbalist, Egyptian reflexologist, and psychotherapist. Now, with 600 hours of training in advanced skincare techniques and body wraps, Yvonne turns her attention to clients in a new way. She wields only natural products and pure essential oils from lavender and lemongrass while pampering clients and lubricating their car engines. These soothing, natural scents help calm patrons as she performs facials, peels, and seaweed body wraps. Her expertise also includes body waxing and permanent makeup.

Behind Indian Shores Massage's seafoam green exterior is an arched entryway evoking the symmetrical domes of ancient Mughal architecture. The lobby’s decorative Buddha statues, elephant sculptures, and wall decor further heighten the Eastern aesthetic. Patty Iorio and Emily Field make up a two-person team of licensed massage therapists, each versed in bodywork techniques as varied as head, hand, and foot reflexology, hot stones, and Thai yoga massage. Soft music mingles with the sound of the Gulf of Mexico's nearby shoreline during services that take place in spacious private rooms, where aromatic ocean zephyrs and the occasional trident soar through billowy white curtains.

Inside the mod confines of Spa Cafe's South Tampa location, a team of hip aestheticians boils down the latest runway trends and treatments into everyday styles tinged with hints of glamour. Whether sculpting brows with gently applied wax, adding hints of color with permanent makeup, or replacing lashes with peacock feathers, the team leaves bodies catwalk-ready. Augmenting the array of spa services is Spa Cafe's quiet space.
