Whitehall, PA Spa and Massage

Our habits are like the nuns' garb from which their name derives—awkward, hard to get rid of, and a deal-breaker on blind dates. Today's Groupon helps you shake your bad habits with an appointment to see clinical hypnotherapist Elizabeth Cessna, MS. For $45, you get an introductory session at Cessna's Everyday Hypnotherapy, a $100 value.

Holding masters degrees from the Academy of Oriental Medicine, practitioners Sydnie Bryant, Jessica Fritz, and Daniel Johnson balance the bodies and minds of their clients with deft acupuncture expertise. Invoking the ameliorative properties of the 5,000-year-old treatment, a knowledgeable needler will assess clients’ health by feeling nine pulsations at each wrist and observing the color and form of the face, the tongue, and the body before beginning the pin-cushioning process. During the one-hour session, guests are invited to relax as each gentle needle insertion spearheads stress and deflates tension, inducing a mellow mood that can help to alleviate ailments, improve immunity, increase fertility, and bend spoons.

Linda Bowers channels two decades of experience in the health and beauty industry into her vision: helming a tranquil spa that allows the mind, spirit, and body to relax and rejuvenate. To do this, she’s transformed her studio into a peaceful refuge where clients can temporarily escape the stresses of work, family, and ferociously persistent encyclopedia salesmen. Within these peaceful digs, she and her staff perform services for the skin, including facials, corrective skin peels, and microdermabrasion. They also gussy up appearances with eyelash extensions and spa waxing sessions performed with gentle products. To ensure relaxation penetrates deeper than skin level, the staff hosts a full menu of relaxing massages that include traditional Swedish massages, deep-tissue modalities, and hot-stone therapies.
