Glad spring is a town of not much, and I've never really had a desire to visit it. A few months ago, I was searching the area for clothing stores and found Fiddlehead on Facebook. Recently, they expanded services by adding on to the store with a full spa. So when it was posted that openings were available on a Saturday for a massage-- I booked.
I'm the kind of girl who doesn't treat myself too often to self care- although I know I would benefit from it. So when I do take the time, I want the experience to be top notch. The location of Fiddlehead is in a town square that doesn't look like it gets very busy. The shop lays on the corner next to a hardware store that also sells fishing supplies.
Walking in, the spa is warm and inviting. Soft music leaks from the hidden treatment rooms and gives the ambiance that is needed to feel at home. Clothing racks line in between the rooms, which give the waiting customer a nice browsing opportunity while you wait. The back has a salon area that's waiting to be filled with stylists.. the owner told me she hopes to hire soon since the demand is very high. (Contact her if you know someone looking!)
Now the treatment... I got a 60 min unclothed massage.. and they offer clothes for those who are shy to be undressed. However the massage man (I missed his name..) is very professional and makes sure the drape is properly adjusted. I prefer skin to skin contact for maximum warmth, but it's nice to offer it both ways. The massage man is GOOD. He gives enough pressure to alleviate any knots but not so much that it's painful. He is an expert at locating every possible source of pent up stress and relieving it. I had a knot in my wrist (which I didn't know about..) and he managed it with oscillations and depth.
After the massage, I was given a chance to try the red light therapy bed for free. It reminds me of a tanning bed, without the harmful UVA lights. Waves crashing are played while you relax and I fell asleep several times. It was ultimately very refreshing and rejuvenating. Red light promotes cell production, collagen restoration, inflammation in the body and to help cure the seasonal depression.
Beautiful place, with skilled hands and great treatment options. I will definitely be back for more! read more
