Insider’s Favorite: 

• I really enjoy our Phoenix Rising treatment. As the name suggests, the Phoenix Rising aids us in releasing the old and being reborn into the new. The experience begins with a dry-brushing to stimulate, then follows with a strong fruit enzyme and glycolic full-body peel. After, you are cocooned in a cell regenerative Gotu Kola herbal balm while receiving a facial. I love the feeling of hope, strength, and new beginnings, not to mention the ultra-soft skin!

Unique Treatment: A truly unique treatment is the Black Seed of Blessing. This tension taming therapeutic massage incorporates black seed oil and frankincense that were used in ancient times for their healing qualities of reducing inflammation, detoxing, and building immunity. 

Wellness Offerings: 

• Seven Sacred Pool Treatment – Inspired by Sedona’s slide rock formations, this treatment ritual brings balance to the seven chakras of the body. An essential oil massage is combined with energy work to harmonize the energy flow.

• Sound Healing with Crystal Alchemy Bowls – Vibrational healing to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, to create, and shift energy to connect to a higher self with tones made by alchemy singing bowls heard throughout the whole body.

• Intuitive Reading – Sedona is considered a sacred and energetically charged place for its unique spiritual energy and its association with healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation. Local experts will provide intuitive reading services at the spa this summer.

• Yoga nidra classes.

Featured Brands: Naturopathica Skincare, Osmosis Skincare, and newly implemented Zents CBD Oil to revitalize and soothe skin.
