Chill out and celebrate Spa Week
It's Spa Week! To celebrate, book a massage or facial, or go hit the pilates or yoga studio at a discount, for this week only.
Spa Week's 16th biannual celebration lasts until April 22 with all kinds of spas- day, medical and resort- as well as yoga and Pilates studios, fitness centers and other health and wellness centers offering discounts. The most common discount, according to Spa Week, is up to three signature treatments at a discount of $50 each. At spas themselves, those can be anything from Thai massages and accupressure to facials and weight-loss treatments. The goal, according to Spa Week, is to educate spa-goers "on how to incorporate specific treatments into their lifelong health regiments."
Five spas in the Seattle area are participating: Leaf and Water Holistic Skincare, Yuan Spa, Red Door Spa in Bellevue, Penterra Spa at the Heathman and Long Life Retreat and Spa.
Be sure to call today and book your spa treatment. The health benefits are endless, but let's just face it: it feels good to be pampered. Happy Spa Week!
