Great Experience! I went for Ganban-yoku and a massage. I was early so I could fill out the waivers, they also gave a great explanation about the benefits and the process. I was ready to wait till my time but they let me go in a few minutes early. I got ready and went in, at first it seemed a little strange but after awhile the experience takes over and you just melt into the stone. After my hour there was about 15 more minutes till my massage and they let me go back in and lay down till the massage was ready. For the last 45 minutes of the Ganban-yoku I was alone in the room it was amazing. (I will say as I was leaving after everything the place was getting busier, I just went at a slower time)My massage was great. I have a hip that is always out and a rib that hurts, with in 5 minutes of being in the massage he helped my hip and my rib. I will be returning again and again.
Brand new spa with massages, hot stone relaxation and more. Recommend the hot stone.
Great experience and such a friendly environment. Ganban-yoku experience is a must. I had Cindy as my massage therapist and she was awesome! 10/10.
Excellent! Very clean. The staff are highly knowledgable and welcoming and the massage therapists are great.
*edit* I just wanted to add research on the sweat thing. Eccrine sweat glands are most likely what kind of sweat the silky sweat is, but its mostly just water. The other kind of sweat is apocrine which has an odor, but that is the one that contains sebum, proteins, lipids and steroids. So I am unsure how eccrine sweat is beneficial... as... it is mostly just water with some elecrolytes. It does provide protection to the acid mantle. (Sebum and sweat combine to create a slightly acidic PH to the skin to prevent bacteria from growin).I enjoyed my experience.Someone else did a review and explained the entire process, so I won't do it here.The people who work there are exceptionally friendly. The owners are a couple.We had the private room for 2 + the facial and neck massage.We were never rushed, and they never shorted us time for the fact we took a shower and arrived into the cool room at 10 past. They in fact, gave us extra time which I thought was very nice of them.They also never came to tell us to leave so it felt like they are very relaxed and not rigid so long as no one else needs the spot, which again, is very kind of them.I'm not 100% sure on the science behind it as I have not looked into it, but the owner explained it and informed us he has studied it extensively.I have had pain for a long time. I have studied things to help my pain... I understand heat can relax muscles. I am just unsure if this particular thing helps out as much as they say. Time will tell. At the cost of $45 per visit, its not something you can easily go to all the time for the average joe however. I am not saying I disagree with him (its hard to since I haven't studied it), but I just somehow wasn't wholly convinced. Probably because its one of those, "This is good for everything." I guess you can argue its like water... which is also good for everything that ails you. So maybe?I noticed they will be doing a monthly membership... so for someone with a lot of pain, if the science works as they say, it might be better for someone to go a lot for a period of time.Compared to say a float, this is a lot simpler since you don't have to get wet. You can go in, lay down, rest, and get out. We had 90 minutes, but after 60 minutes I was personally uncomfortable and ready to go. It was not the most comfortable thing for me and I had issues laying on the stone due to my back. This is not uncommon, and they did warn us that might be a thing. They did say we could use towels to prop up certain body parts to help, but for whatever reason I didn't ask for extras... nor am I certain I know where to place them.I would also skip the facial and neck massage if you are used to actual massages. If you are going all out for a gift, sure get it, but it isn't something substantial enough for me to recommend. Ultimately its a nice new thing to try in Winnipeg.With competition like Thermea and Float (they are in the same price range), they will need to prove that their stones do have the healing properties they say. Most likely with more reviews pouring in, over time, people will get a better sense of if it is worth it.
