Located in Desert Hot Springs, California, We Care Spa is known for programming centered around fasting, detoxification and education. With recent renovations including 12 new suites, a beautiful pool and hot tub, this celebrity hotspot continues to expand on its 35-year legacy of offering unique educational programs and treatments. We Care Spa’s packages are available in 8, 6, or 3-day stays that include daily yoga classes, educational lectures, and demonstrations.

During the stay, guests detox with colonics and/or digestive release and juice cleanses. Guests also have access to specialized equipment, infrared dry saunas, and a steam room. To learn more about this spa oasis of detoxification, General Manager Greg Geurin fills us in on the spa’s latest offerings and what to expect during a visit.

Why You’ll Love It: There is nowhere else like We Care Spa and we are proud to offer our guests such a special place to retreat and take care of themselves. The desert air and mountains are extremely healing, and our property offers many outdoor installations for our guests to enjoy. The way the property is laid out you can gather and connect with people, or you can relax solo in private spaces where you can experience your own epiphany or personal healing. We are quite unique in that we are situated with privacy around us for miles. It’s extremely peaceful and quiet—you can hear a pin drop and see the beautiful sunrise, sunset, and the stars at night.

What to Expect: What most guests might expect from a visit with us is cleansing their bodies, weight loss, relaxation and total rejuvenation. We Care Spa offers so much more than that as we encompass detoxification of the body, mind and spirit. We offer educational, movement and spiritual classes, which are an integral part of the We Care Spa Program. The classes include tips, tools and practices for creating profound and sustainable lifestyle changes. Although cleansing seems to be at the forefront, there is a much greater purpose that occurs as a result—by cleansing your body, mind and spirit, you not only physically cleanse and repair yourself, you raise your whole being, your vibration, and your consciousness, which in turn have a positive effect on others.

What to know about the fast and detox: Usually when someone thinks of fasting and cleansing program, they think of a very restrictive juice cleanse; however, this is NOT a juice cleanse. At We Care Spa, our guests drink nutrient-dense liquids every hour from dusk to dawn. Each of our 13 specialized drinks are designed to nourish every cell, cleanse the blood, liver and kidneys, and stimulate the intestines. The total program is designed to release toxins found throughout the tissues and cells of your body and to aid the five organs of elimination. Guests are always surprised at how easy it is to follow, and how full they feel when they are constantly consuming our specialized drinks.

What is one thing that you hope guests will take away from a visit to We Care Spa?

My hope is that once their visit with us comes to an end, it doesn't stop there. Besides feeling more energetic, lighter and younger, we hope they take all they've learned and experienced into their daily lives with a raised level of awareness and consciousness so they may participate in the We Care "ripple effect:” positively affecting others.

Insider’s Tip: You may have the simple intention to fast at We Care and hope to experience some weight loss, and you realize that the program was much more than that—you experience profound life changes that may even change the trajectory of your life.

New suite accommodations at We Care Spa.

Key Features: Currently, we have 13 treatment rooms. Once our renovation is complete, we’ll have over 22 dedicated treatment rooms. We have a beautiful new 45-foot pool and an adjacent hot tub. Our sacred We Care Labyrinth was built over 25 years ago and holds a very special place at We Care because of its healing and detoxifying properties, as well as the profound place it offers in the process of detoxifying the body, mind and spirit.

Two floating beds provide the benefits of floating motion—the same safe motion that we felt gently floating in our mother’s womb. The motion has positive effects on the lymphatic and circulatory systems, activating a deep, powerful relaxation response. We also have two Far Infra-Red Saunas and one Steam Sauna. There are over 15 private sitting and meditation areas throughout the property.

Recent Renovations: Half of our renovations are already complete. Guests are enjoying 12 new suites, as well as our beautiful pool and hot tub. We’re aiming for the end of this year for renovations to be complete, when we add 7 new guest rooms, 9 new treatment rooms, a new lobby, and a 1,000 square-foot yoga studio. We’ll also have a new fitness area and boutique.

Unique Treatment: Our System Recovery Treatment is one of our most unique and popular offerings. Your entire body is gently exfoliated with a dry brush, then warm castor oil is applied over the body. While you are wrapped and relaxing on your heated amethyst mat, your therapist will give a relaxing scalp, neck and foot massage. The power of castor oil may benefit your liver, de-stress the body, and increase colonic release.

Featured Products: We use our own formulated We Care Nutritional and Digestive Solutions products for our nutrient-dense liquid nutrition program. They include raw fiber, detox and greens powders, aloe, and supplements such as probiotics, digestive enzymes, and ionic minerals, to name a few.

For our spa treatments we use The Body Deli products, which are handcrafted in small batches in Palm Desert. We love supporting other local businesses! Their products deliver real results because they use the purest and most potent raw and organic superfoods available. As they lovingly say, "Using The Body Deli’s fresh products is like getting your skin and hair care straight from a juice bar." And this is right up our alley!
