Massage Spa

tikkunspa.com “tikkun olam” means “repairing the world” in hebrew. so what this subterranean spa is getting at with one half of the phrase is, repairing you. your journey starts with an elevator down to the first luxe korean spa on the westside. owners niki (she’s korean) and doctor charles schwarz take the best from the east and west to create a restorative co-ed sanctuary with a medical twist. change into the comfy organic cotton shorts and top provided. (don’t worry, they’ll have your size.) then, detox in the far-infrared hwangto clay room, where the heat stimulates circulation from the inside out. cool off in the ice room to boost your immune system. next, relax on the mats in the himalayan salt room, and place rocks where needed to rev your metabolism. or, slip into the jade chamber to rejuvenate circulation. for women, there’s also a green tea soaking pool. allow plenty of time to indulge in all the pre-treatments before trying the fantastic signature hot-and-cold jade stone massage. or opt for the jade stone facial, which uses a volcanic ash mask to purify the skin. thai, swedish, deep tissue, and shiatsu massages are avail, along with reflexology, trad scrubs, soaks, and wraps. nutritional counseling and facial injectables flesh out the menu. snack on seasonal fruits, tea, and trail mix when you’re done. VIP or couple? an exclusive suite includes a private jacuzzi, heated onyx alcove, treatment tables, and bathroom, so you won’t have to mingle.
