Welcome to your healing sanctuary. Jinsei Spa prides itself on balance and harmony. Voted “Best Day Spa” by Central Oregon Magazine readers, the establishment offers traditional clinical facials (ie.) along with an array of unique spa facials including Chocolate Vine Smoothing, Mandarin Brightening, and Sweet Cherry Antioxidant. Eye, lip, and hand treatments are available as well.

Embracing its Asian roots, the spa also offers cupping therapy to ease back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. There’s also the option to do an array of full-body massages, along with a scalp massage and a Thai foot massage. Be sure to arrive early to spend time in the relaxation room with a cup of tea or in the co-ed steam room.

Juniper Spa at Juniper Preserve

65600 Pronghorn Club Dr., Bend, OR 97701; (866) 320-5024

If you’re seeking a mind, body, and soul experience, Juniper Spa’s high desert oasis is calling your name.

Guests can also incorporate various CBD products into their treatments for an added fee.

A standout from the spa is its array of Ayurvedic options. Ayurveda is an East Asian alternative holistic medicine and Juniper Spa incorporates its rituals into a lymphatic massage and Shirodhara scalp massage. This is a hot oil-driven traditional Ayurvedic hair and scalp treatment with deeply meditative qualities. It’s a balancing, spiritual healing practice that has long been heralded in East Asian culture.

On the note of spiritual healing, the spa also offers transcendental breathwork and a peaceful sound bath experience.

Sole Purpose Massage

325 NW Vermont Pl., Ste. #104, Bend, OR 97703; (320) 321-5855

If you want to experience a technique you can’t get everywhere else, we suggest popping into Sole Purpose Massage. Much like it sounds, the sole of a massage therapist’s foot is used for Ashiatsu. This barefoot massage makes compression strokes smooth and supple instead of bony and prodding. 

Most strokes are done with one foot on the table and one on the client, so pressure is easily adjusted to your preference. Barefoot massage can comfortably create a structural change in muscle tissues, releasing chronic tension and holding patterns, while deeply relaxing your nervous system at the same time.

If you prefer a traditional massage, those are available as well. Massages start at $100 for an hour.

Spa Brasada at Brasada Ranch

16986 SW Brasada Ranch Rd. Powell Butte, OR 97753; (541) 203-6213

Itching for a picturesque wilderness escape? Hop right in to Spa Brasada, located at the impeccable, critically acclaimed Brasada Ranch. With the healing power of nature at its core, guests can relax and restore with an innovative range of mind-body treatments designed to leave them physically and mentally refreshed.

The spa offers everything from aromatherapy and essential oil-led essence treatments. There’s also total body rejuvenation through wraps, scrubs, and Reiki healing. And of course you have your premium facial, nail, waxing, and massage options, including prenatal.

If there’s one treatment the spa recommends, it’s the Harmonizing Massage Treatment, which was specially created for women. Involving uplifting and balancing treatments, the treatment restores ease and well-being.

Spa W has won a slew of awards, and it’s easy to see why. The moment you step foot into the calming, neutral-colored space, you slip into a robe and mellow out in the spa’s quiet room to disconnect and sip tea or flavored water. Or you can stock up on skincare in the lobby from renowned brands including Dr. Babor, NuFace, and more.

Once you’re ready to go, you can choose from an array of facial and massage options, including dermaplaning, collagen therapy, light chemical peels, nano-needling, and options for teens. There are also mani-pedis, and waxing and tinting. So essentially consider this Bend’s one-stop-shop for all things beauty. The space also offers options for bridal parties and for men.
