You will be contacted by phone to confirm the appointment and/or to process any deposit needed. Please share with our Spa Associate any specific preferences or requests with regard to your appointment or to your therapist.

For our colonic clients: For optimum results, please see our colonic screening and preparation suggestions. Alternatively, you can call 757-428-3588 and listen to the recorded information on extension 7557. In either case, be especially aware of the dietary suggestions: avoiding gas-forming foods and drinking plenty of water are the best ways to ensure an effective first colonic. A castor oil pack, one of the recommendations, is an external application to the abdomen of natural unbleached wool saturated with castor oil. If you are interested in using this highly recommended therapy, you may want us to schedule a castor oil pack for you. Once you have experienced the application, you take your pack home with you, along with instructions for care and application for up to a year of continued use.

Deposit
A deposit by phone or in person is needed when scheduling your first appointment at the Health Center & Spa. Additionally, with any appointments in excess of $100, a deposit is required. Deposits are generally applied to the amount due upon check-in, but they can be credited back, if you prefer to pay the entire balance by personal check or cash.

Please be aware that deposits are forfeited if the appointment is missed or is canceled or changed with less than 24 hours notice.

Checking in for your appointment. Please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out the intake form(s) for the appointment(s) you have scheduled with us.

Attire and Draping
Please be aware that appointment times include time you use to undress and dress. A 1-hour massage appointment may include 50 to 55 minutes of massage. All the more reason to dress simply!

Our draping practices provide complete protection of your modesty. Your therapist will demonstrate use of the lower draping towel and chest towel. You are also covered by a sheet; only the area the therapist is working will be uncovered at any time.
