Enjoy the Unexpected

Spas visits aren’t just about getting the latest treatments to look your best, though that’s not a bad reason to stop into Willow Stream spas.  You’ll also find that spas can be a great place to get the positive energy flowing again in your life – whether you thrive on solitude and tranquility or getting silly with old friends.
If you haven’t visited us lately, you may not know about some of the unexpected things you can do at our spas. Here are some ideas.

Take control of your health. Sure, spas are about pampering. But if you face daily stress that is affecting your well being, a respite at a spa can also be a powerful preventative health measure. Visiting every quarter or twice a year can be a smart way to keep stress from snowballing.

Deepen friendships. With many of us juggling work and family, it can be hard to fit in time with friends. But it’s essential for wellness. A recent Harvard study found that strong social connections help our brains stay healthy as we get older. Booking a regular date at a spa with friends is a great way to make sure that your friendships don’t get pushed to the back burner. Not to mention it’s fun.

Create memories. Spas aren’t just for bachelorette parties. They’re a great place to spend your wedding anniversary or hold a retirement party. Order a “mocktail” and raise a glass to the important people in your life.

Say thank you. Looking for a great way to reward the top performers on your team – or help them get to know each other better outside of the office? Spa trips can be a great incentive. And they’re not for women only. Given the hours that many of us spend in front of computer screens and rushing to catch flights, what man couldn’t use a massage?

Get inspired. Positive emotions are linked to greater creativity at work , according to noted Harvard researcher Teresa Amible. We can tell you from our own experience that there are few better ways to get yourself into the relaxed and upbeat state of mind where ideas flow than to enjoy the luxury of a spa.
