My husband and I were coming for a relaxing weekend in Gualala before our first baby is born. What…read moremore relaxing activity to do than to get a massage? We were so excited when we found healing arts and it had good reviews. I booked a prenatal massage for myself and a deep tissue massage for my husband. We were scheduled with Stephanie and Joann, respectively. When we arrive to healing arts about 10 minutes prior to our massage, we were never greeted by anybody. Eventually, a lady came out and told us they would be right with us. They ended up taking my husband and I back about 15 minutes after our scheduled massage time. While we were waiting, we could overhear women in the back discussing how a prenatal massage works and what can/ can't be done for pregnant women, which made me a little nervous, but I was still optimistic that it would be a good experience. During my massage, unfortunately, I suffered a terrible hot flash!! Stephanie handled it like a champ, turning off the table warmer, opening the window, and bringing me a cold compress and some water. I was so appreciative of how she handled it all because I was embarrassed. My massage ended up being very nice and relaxing, just what I needed. My husband also said his massage with Joann was awesome as well! Would definitely come back here if we were ever in the area.

I had the Facial Bliss ($85) appropriately done by Katherine Bliss-Jones (Kit)…read more I appreciate when someone who's about to work on my mug, sits me down to discuss the treatment and find out my concerns and skin issues. I had acne that I treated with my go-to "harsher the better" philosophy: Retin-A, Accutane, Oxycycline, Pro-Active, and so on. Now my face is pissed off at me and refuses to produce oil like a normal person. Dry as hell yet very, very oily. Kit lovingly listened to me and told me what she recommended for the facial, which I agreed to. The space for the facial was absolutely peaceful, super-clean, and wholesome. I began to feel like I was in Lothlorien, and upon another glance at Kit I saw striking physical similarities to Galadriel as played by Cate Blanchett. Kit's hands gently cleansed my skin, and prepped me for a soothing steam. Truthfully, after this point I just began to surrender to the facial and just relax instead of analyze and fear. I remember her loving hands attending to my face like some sort of sacred ritual. It was filled with beautiful scents, gentle sweeping movements, calming massage, and utter peace. She added a hand and wrist rejuvenation treatment that included massage, essential oil, and warm mitt infusion. Then she told me that she would throw in an eyebrow design as well. Good right? I started freaking out because this Korean girl's been blessed with a moon-face that was considered beautiful in 16th century Korea, but in this age makes her want to grow grow grow her eyebrows to make her face look smaller so birds birds stop flying into my head. I told Kit my fears and she totally understood and told me what she was going to do and why. Kit used hard wax which I love b/c of the lack of pain and the gentle stripping off the skin. It felt great and I just hoped for the best and relaxed into it. After a soothing crystal mask and some other treatments, she propped me up and said, "now for the best part." Uh, typically that statement is not one I associate with Lydia sans makeup but what the hell I grabbed the mirror and inspected my bliss-facialed face. Holy mother of Jesus, my eyebrows were freaking perfect. I guess in my effort to use my eyebrows to make my face look smaller, they had gotten Wookie on me. But now, wow, Kit made my top arch higher and cleaned the under and some other stuff that made my eyebrows frame my eyes and face much better. The skin on my face didn't look angry anymore. It looked nourished like it had just taken a deep drink from the fountain of Galadriel. I had that glow and even the muscles on my face had softened. I looked and felt serene. I guess I was tense before I got there and didn't even know it. What can I say to sum up this wonderful experience? I came for a basic facial and I left feeling nurtured and peace by Kit's loving tending to. It's like I thought I was just going to get a sip of water, but I ended up with a wholesome and thorough satiation. I highly recommend Galadriel's blissful facial!
