Spas are always a great place to go when you want a massage, facial or just a quick manicure.
Urbana Wellness Spa, is just one of the many spas in the Atlanta area where they offer everything from massages to manicures. The experience is made even more enjoyable through their unique therapeutic services, studio fusion classes and their delicious cup of organic tea.
Studio Fusion are classes that are upbeat and include multiple styles of yoga accessible for all student levels. Whether you're a beginner or advanced in yoga, these classes offer something for everyone seven days a week.
In addition to yoga, Urbana also offers a variety of different massages.
"We offer lifestyle wellness in multiple categories," said Anne Stroupe, director of Urbana Wellness Spa. "So we have 15 different styles of massage therapy."
One specialty massage is called the Thai Table which features deep stretching and yoga posing. Another is called Thai Poultice, which is an aromatherapy message that detoxifies your body with herbals containing lavender and chamomile. Urbana offers many other massage services including their therapeutic deep tissue massage which will focus on those areas where you want the most pressure.
"With our therapeutic massage it allows our therapist, if you're having a lot of hip pain to give you a really deep stretch and incorporate forced massage in the service," said Stroupe.
Some of Urbana's other unique services include the spa's signature glow facial which is a skin analysis, cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and a mask for refreshing glowing skin. Each facial is customized to meet the needs of all skin types.
The sea mineral wrap, is another service that includes a mineral-rich serum with potent herbal extracts to help remove toxins from the skin.
All of these services offer great health benefits, but their tea bar offers a total of more than 100 different types of teas from the 3,000 teas of the world. Everyday guests can try a variety of flavored teas as well as purchase a bag of tea to take home.
Tea has many benefits that coffee doesn't and every tea tastes different. Whites are full of antioxidants while greens are a little more earthy. It is also a great addition to make when you're thinking about your overall wellness.
"Our Green Almond Cookie is our most popular retail tea it's a green tea, that enhanced with almonds and it really does smells like a sugar cookie," said Stroupe. "You get all of the benefits of a green tea without that overwhelming earthy taste and it's almost like having an afternoon treat."
It is important to the Urbana Wellness Spa to encourage tea consumption in America, because of the many health benefits of this organic beverage.
In the spa industry, there is a huge market for services that cater to girls between the ages of 10 – 16. Urbana wellness offers everything from facials to massages with parental consent for the teenage crew including sweet sixteen parties.
"There is a huge focus in the market for the teen spa and we do offer teen spa services," said Stroupe. "It's great to start taking care or your skin early so we love it when teenage girls come in and get an ice peel skin rush."
Urbana is always concerned with making sure the guests are satisfied and to improve their overall health in general.
"It's a very guest centric where the guest really has a chance to enjoy themselves and decompress, but at the same time they are getting a very high quality high end experience," said Stroupe.
