Once Halloween hits, the holiday race begins. And trying to make the holidays perfect for our kids easily becomes a full time job, on top of the many jobs we already have as busy moms. So, this holiday season I’ve vowed to give myself a break and find some more time for myself. After all, the holidays are about enjoying one another and the best way for me to do that is to find a way to just unplug and relax for an hour a week so that I can be fully engaged the other 167 hours of the week!
Spavia in Downtown Stamford has become the place for me to relax and escape so that I can thrive (or at least try to) in every other part of my life. From the moment I walk in, I feel pampered. The staff is warm and friendly, welcoming me with a warm neck wrap, robe and sandals. (I even get to choose the scent of the lotion used during my service. I highly recommend the coconut!) After I change, I get to sit next to the fireplace in the spa room, sip some tea and wait for my spa session to begin… ALONE… no little hands tugging at me (which is a luxury in and of itself).
Spavia offers a number of customized massages, ranging from deep tissue to hot stone, maternity, sports, and more. The day spa also offers facials, body treatments, waxing, peels, make-up series, and more. But my favorite is a good facial! I highly recommend the age defense facial! It infuses peptides and vitamin-rich anti-oxidants to hydrate dry skin and diminish the signs of aging, fine lines and wrinkles. Sounds amazing, right?! It was! My skin felt so fresh and clean for days afterward and several people told me I looked like I was glowing, always a welcomed compliment! The service also included a hot stone neck and shoulder massage which made it feel like two services in one.
The other great thing about Spavia is that it’s luxury with an affordable price tag, offering three levels of membership starting at $79 per month. Spavia owner, Kim Barnes is also a busy mom to two boys. So, she knows how it is! To accommodate us busy moms, Spavia is open 7 days a week and you can schedule your spa appointments online!
