The Rasa Approach

In 2006, Rasa Spa opened its doors with a mission to redefine what a spa experience can be by implementing an approach that considers the whole individual and how we each can achieve our best overall health - body, mind and soul - through alternative therapies, lectures, events, classes and more. We believe that achieving our best health and wellness should be something all of us can try for, and not just a luxury for a few who can afford it. To that end, we have returned to the idea of the spa as it was originally: a place where all in the community can find a space for healing and better overall being.

At Rasa Spa we utilize therapeutic body and skin treatments, as well as exclusive all-natural product lines, signature aromatherapy oil blends, and natural elements to bring you back to a healthful, balanced way of being – the essence of yourself. With our partners Island Health & Fitness, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality care in an atmosphere of beauty, luxury and calm.

Rasa introduces new and specialized treatments, holds classes, hosts events, and presents guest teachers in the effort to bring the best holistic health care to our Rasa family, near and far. Along with the massage modalities that may be more familiar - hot stone, sports, and Swedish, for example - our incredible staff brings decades of experience across a broad range that also includes:

Thai massage
Shiatsu massage
Oncological massage
Pregnancy (prenatal) massage
Reiki
Reflexology
Feldenkrais

with more diverse sessions introduced all the time. We've kept our prices as low as we can sustain; even so, we offer payment options, discounts, and special rates for groups. Give us a call regarding your specific needs.
