Best Spa: The Sanctuary Spa

SanctuaryThe best part of working at The Sanctuary Spa is seeing customers leave relaxed after receiving treatment, said Spa Manager Vicki Lafler.
“It’s nice to be around positive people,” she said. “It’s satisfying to see people happy as they’re leaving. We have an amazing staff and amazing guests.”
The spa, which owner Cindi Schamberger moved to The Fountains development in November 2012 after founding it in 2009 on Blairs Ferry Road, provides services for guests of all ages – from kids needing relief from sports injuries to senior citizens.
Services include massages and body treatments, lymphatic drainage and craniosacral therapy, facials and advanced skin treatments, waxing, nail services, makeup applications and spray tanning.
Massage therapy is based on conversations with each guest, said Tracy Thoreson, who has more than 20 years of message experience.
The spa’s dimly-lit spaces are filled with soft music, creating a calming atmosphere for guests seeking to decompress, Ms. Lafler said. As customers enter the space, they receive a complimentary beverage and are taken to the relaxation room
for a hand or foot massage before their main service.
“This is me time,” Ms. Lafler said. “ You walk in the door and feel the love.”
