Once you’re settled comfortably on the bed, your technician will begin vigorously and methodically rubbing the Sea Salt elixir all over your body. With every scrub, feel the old skin being shed, making way for the fresh shiny skin underneath. This elixir contains 100% pure Dead Sea Salts , which are rich in therapeutic minerals such as bromide and magnesium. We pair these salts with Algae Extract and Stress Relief Essential Oil blend, an amazing combination that hydrates your skin, and smooths any rough elbows or cracked heels to reveal a plumped, healthy look, while also calming other skin irritations and your senses.

TIP: When the Vichy shower part starts, think of every drop of water hitting your skin as clearing away the old so you can start fresh.

Most people opt for 60-minutes and, for sure, if it’s 60-minutes or nothing, take it! But, if you happen to carry stress in your shoulders, work out a lot and you have the time, make your appointment for as many minutes as you can.

At Sanctuary Spa, we offer 3 types of massages :
Sanctuary Spa Signature Massage in increments of 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90-minutes
Prenatal Massage in increments of 45 and 60-minutes, and
G-5 Cellulite Massage for 45-minutes.

I’m going to focus on the Sanctuary Signature Massage for our back to school recommendation.Rather than make you read and think about all the different massage modalities, then compare those to your personal concerns, and expect you to figure out the perfect type of massage for you, we offer a consultative massage service. You’ll have the chance to describe how your body is feeling, identify any concerns you may have, tell us about your routines, and share your history with our educated massage therapists and leave it to them to prescribe your treatment. Many times, that won’t just be one type of massage, but instead a blend of Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Trigger Point Therapy massage types pinpointed to whatever is right for you. We have a results-oriented team who will listen to your goals and provide you the best massage so that you’ll be ready to take on whatever comes your way!

At Sanctuary Spa, we begin each service with an aromatherapy connection. Once you are settled in your treatment bed, the technician will pick a scent based on the consultation you’ve had. Euphoria and Breathe Easy are 2 of my favorites! When my body is healthy, but my mind is racing… perhaps I’m thinking about the long list of things I have to do next… Euphoria truly does calm my mind and soul. On the other hand, many times in this crazy Houston weather, my sinuses are acting up for some reason or another. On those days, Breathe Easy helps relieve any congestion, so by the end of my massage I can truly breathe easier.

Want to accomplish some multitasking in the spa too? We also offer Knesko natural collagen masks – whether you want to address dry, chapped lips, fine lines under your eyes, or infusing your skin with some extra hydration while calming any irritations on your face, neck and décolleté, we have a mask for you! Generally, our massages start face-down, when you turn over the technician can apply your chosen face mask so your skin can soak up the powerful polypeptides and antioxidants while you enjoy the rest of your massage.

With this massage, you’ll leave the spa walking on clouds!

TIP: Remember to drink plenty of water the day of your service!

Again, this facial is catered to your skin type and your skin concerns. We use natural, plant-based products from Source Vitál Apothecary that are packed with beneficial essential oils. Whether you have normal, dry, oily or combination skin, the cleansers, toners, masks, and serums chosen will be designed to leave you with your best glowy skin.

In addition to all the normal steps of a facial, the Signature Restorative facial uses specific facial massage techniques designed to stimulate blood flow, helping to increase collagen production and leaving skin with that unbeatable healthy natural glow.With the 75-minute service you’ll also get a few minutes of foot massage as well as a few moments to meditate. Yes! I said meditate. Some guests are curious as to why we incorporate these minutes within the facial, maybe even sometimes wondering if the time would be more beneficial spent adding another serum?! At Sanctuary Spa, we really believe that to guide you on your path to your best body and skin, our services should address the whole you, body, mind and spirit.

Chronic stress can accelerate aging, so whether you are coming in for a facial, massage or hydrotherapy session, we want to do everything we can to release you from your everyday stress. So, on your next visit, when your esthetician steps out, instead of mentally going through your to-do list (or wondering what the esthetician is possibly doing during those few minutes), use the time be fully present in the moment.

TIP: Listen to your breath coming in and out, mentally scan through each of your body parts and ensure every muscle is relaxed. And if none of that works for you, then yes take the time to set your intentions for the day or the week ahead. Check in on yourself and your new goals for the school year. Whatever you spend your time contemplating, congratulate yourself for taking this time to take care of you!
