Enjoy an hour of Pure Heaven at Tootsies, a day spa dedicated to reflexology, aromatherapy and hydro-therapy.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that works on the feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself, explains Cristy Carlson, owner. ?Reflexology relieves tension and soothes sore muscles. It can be used to restore the body?s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.?
For runners, walkers and cyclists, Tootsies offers a service that rejuvenates sore soles. Others dealing with chronic injuries or health issues also will benefit from the experience. It?s also a perfect Mother?s Day gift.
The session begins with a warm salt soak, bare feet nestled on a colorful bowlful of smooth rocks. Next, it?s a hop up onto a plush chair, Bose headphones playing soothing symphonies, eyes covered with an aromatherapy mask, while Carlson slathers shins and legs with scented cream and engages in a delightfully long foot massage.
Next, Carlson proffers a bowl of warm rocks covered with a towel, ?To ground you back to Earth,? she explains. A spritz of loose powder on each foot and it?s time to, sadly, put shoes back on soft, happy feet.
