New Spa Opens in Rexburg

by Allison Jones

 

Local businesspeople gathered 9 August for the ribbon cutting for the Rexburg Wellness Spa on West Main St.  This spa offers automated massages, new age treatments, and classes on meditation and nutrition.  There are also a conference room and a small theater available for renting for group activities and meetings.

Elizabeth, the owner, opened the spa because she had seen three relatives die from painful illnesses and wanted to provide others who suffer chronic sicknesses holistic methods to maintain health and manage symptoms such as pain.  She is still gathering local people knowledgeable in holistic techniques, but she has made a good start with the methods currently available in her spa.  

They have a Dry Water Massage Bed, a Jade Thermal Massage table, and a Soqi Bed.  Those who sampled the beds confirmed that they are effective, at least in relaxing the mind and body.  There are health benefits associated with each of the beds.  The Soqi Bed is actually a class 1 medical device with documented healing benefits.

There are also two infrared saunas available for relaxing muscles, sweating out toxins, weight loss, and pain relief.  Both have soothing music playing and color changing lights to promote healing.  The different colors of light are supposed to stimulate different systems of the body based on the wavelength of the light.  Many of the techniques available at the Rexburg Wellness Spa incorporate heat to relax the muscles and promote health.

There are also have Aromatouch Technique massages using essential oils as well as gemstone therapy where tiny gemstones are placed on the chakras to promote the proper flow of energy in the body.  The colors of the gemstones match the chakra they are placed on.  Energy healing, for example reiki, is also offered as well as workshops and classes on the different holistic health techniques, including meditation and nutrition.

The spa aims to provide their services at rates affordable to most of Rexburg as well as educating people about the different ways to treat chronic illness in natural holistic ways. 

The hours the spa is open revolves around Elizabeth’s primary responsibility as a mother and the hours her children are in school or being watched by others.  The hours will increase once school starts again.  Appointments can also be made for other times.  For more information contact the Rexburg Wellness Spa at 356-9772.
