Because One Vacation A Year Just Isn’t Enough

By Tanya on March 1st, 2011

From the ancient Romans who frequented spas fed by intricate systems of aqueducts to the thousands who flocked to the city of Bath every year in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to take in the healing waters, the spa has been a central part of European culture for millennia. In fact, in many European countries, physicians still prescribe spa treatments as part of a well-rounded health program. So why do so many of us in North America now view a spa day as a luxury that has to be justified?

At the turn of the twentieth century, a culture shift occurred, largely in response to the economic conditions brought on by the first and second world wars, that resulted in spas being seen as an unnecessary indulgence. However, as is the case with so many of our modern day holistic treatments, what was old has become new again, and people are once again recognizing the important role that a spa can play in overall health and wellbeing.

Modern day spas combine the best of beauty and health for a complete mind, body and soul experience. While a salon may focus on making you look beautiful, a spa is a place to unwind, relax and pamper yourself so that you leave feeling as rested and rejuvenated on the inside as you look on the outside.

A spa also offers a different level of professionalism, with highly trained staff who are educated in both ancient and modern practices and the latest ways in which these come together to deliver an experience that just can’t be found anywhere else. They consult with you to determine what your needs are and which treatments are best suited to you. More importantly, their first priority is your experience. It’s all about you, through and through.

So, if one annual vacation just isn’t enough to keep you feeling grounded all year, slip away to a spa whenever you start to feel the weight of the world. You’ll be amazed at what a few hours can do!
