What You'll Get
Like pillows, bodies become lumpy and uncomfortable with overuse and can only be restored via mashing and turning until you're forced to steal a new one from a hotel room. Get a de-stressed body legally with today's Groupon: for $35, you get either a one-hour classic facial or a one-hour relaxation massage (both a $70 value) at In Essence Day Spa in Mission Viejo.
With a multitude of mania-melting services, In Essence Day Spa refines faces, amends muscles, and brings spirits the kind of repose that strikes envy into every chi, chakra, and cartoon ghost in the vicinity. The classic facial power-washes pores and exfoliates dull skin with a tailored approach to each skin type, including a gentle extraction, hydrating treatments, and touch-therapy massage. Alternately, the full-body relaxation massage can be customized for sensitive backs and robot half-breed muscles alike with a range of pressure levels.

About In Essence Day Spa at Dr. Turek's Wellness Center
During her first pregnancy, Liliane Zaccharias suffered backaches and decreased mobility—that is, until she started undergoing regular massage treatments. Impressed by how quickly these allayed her pain, she underwent more than 1,500 hours of training to become a licensed massage therapist herself. Now, as the owner of In Essence Day Spa, she supervises treatments ranging from massages to facials. The spa's membership program encourages clients to treat these services as recurring components of a long-term healing routine instead of as isolated indulgences.
The staff at Essence Day Spa administers prenatal massages to help ease expectant mothers' bearing pains. She also practices specialized massages, including lymphatic-drainage, hot-stone, and cranial-sacral modalities. Her spa staff takes equal care to address chronic symptoms, both mental and physical, using therapeutic massages designed to relive pain and soreness from repetitive motions and minor accidents. Structural-integration sessions help align the body for better posture and movement. Maintaining the emphasis on long-term care, skin treatments can be administered in sets of one, three, or six appointments, rather than just a one-time dousing with lotion from a fire hose.
