A New Spirit Wellness Center & Spa

OK, so I tried the whole float thing. I was a bit nervous the first time, but my friend was TOTALLY right - I don't know why doctors don't just tell us preggos to be in a float tank all the time. This place is awesome!

The first time I went in, the whole idea was a bit - umm - peculiar? - but there really isn't anything like a zero-gravity environment to "take a load off." I guess you know - but having that weight relieved was HUGE. When I got out, I felt like I'd spent some time with Tyler WITHOUT having to carry him around - as silly as that sounds. When I went in again, I'd had a really bad day and gotten a big unexpected bill. I thought about canceling my appointment, because I didn't think I could really relax, but it was just that afternoon so I went in. I didn't really get my mind off it. I came out of the float tank still a bit stressed, but as I walked out the door, noticed I was smiling anyway. And even after talking with John, and you know how he gets, I was still in a great mood!

I finally used up my gift certificate this weekend when I went in on Sunday. I think I just fell asleep in there. I came out, feeling great, and tried out one of their prenatal massages - INCREDIBLE. I'm convinced, and John bought some more floats when he picked me up (and used one up! yesterday). He was pretty excited by the whole experience and I think we'll be fighting over who gets the next one.

BTW - the guy they have working the counter on weekends is CUTE, with a charming foreign accent.

Pros: actual relief!

Cons: none!!

My girlfriends and I went here to relax and we LOVED it! I cannot say enough great things about this spa, I loved my massage and the floatation session helped to loosen up my muscle tightness. Andrea was great to work with and was extremely knowledgeable, its always nice to be in the care of someone you can trust!! All of us loved everything about our visit from the foot soak to the massage and have decided to come back!! This is my favorite spa, hands down! (I am comparing this spa to ones I have been to in Michigan, Seattle and California) THE BEST!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

One of the best massages I have EVER had!! Our family was recently in Denver for our very first time with our middle sons soccer tournament. I called several places/spas to try and accomodate four massages and a pedicure at the same time for some of our soccer moms. Although several returned phone calls, only one was COMPLETELY accomodating and that is the owner of A New Spirit, Andrea. She is the GREATEST!! Although they do not do pedicures, she got the other soccer mom in for her first facial ever at the same time as our four massages. We ALL agreed that this is one of the best massages that we have ever gotten. This only goes to show that if all four are that good, talented and professional, Andrea only hires the top of the field. I should know, because, I too am a massage therapist and about as picky as they come. Also, our friend with the facial....came out literally floating and also added on feet and hand treatments. We have ALL said that when we go back to Denver, we will return here again and again. You MUST go! Do not give any other place a second thought because there can not possibly be any better massage, facial, more beautiful, peaceful, or, most of all, accomodating place than this. Thank you, Andrea, and all of our WONDERFUL massage therapists and facialist!! You made our time in Denver one of the best!!

Pros: staff, atmosphere, professionalism, accomodation

My husband and I are regulars here and LOVE this place. It has a great atmosphere and the staff make you feel so relaxed and very comfortable. I highly recommend A New Spirit, especially for massages! I haven't had a facial here so I would only assume that the facials are as good as the other services. I did buy the skincare products that they sell and my skin has never looked better!

It is just a great place!

Pros: Atmosphere and GREAT massages!

Cons: Parking is on street.

All in all, our experience at A New Spirit was pretty good. We went in for the Romance Package for Two. This package includes an aromatherapy foot bath,wine and chocolates, couples massage and then either a mini facial or foot reflexology. A few things prevented me from giving it a higher rating than 3 starts. First was the check-in process seemed a little unpolished for a spa, second was the aromatherapy foot bath. This was actually just soaking your feet in a little plug-in foot bath that you can buy at Target or anywhere else. I don't know if there were any aromatherapy oils or anything in the foot bathes other than water. Hmmm. The massages and mini facials were great and the staff were very talented at making us relax. Something for you all to consider, should you get this treatment, is to bring along a hat for afterwards. My hair was reeeally greasy after the massage and facial, and I looked very strange walking out of there.

Pros: price, location, good massage therapists

Cons: foot bath, check-in process

My 1st time to A New Spirit was an extremely positive one and the beginning of many repeat visits to come. I did a little research and The Woodhouse (ranked as #1 for Best Massage) got enough negative ratings for me to question it. Didn't go for #2 as well (Revive Spa) because they did not offer a 90-min massage for deep tissue, which I sorely needed. Therefore I ended up at the New Spirit Spa, and I have to admit they've got me as a customer for good. I heard that they do *not* do pedicures there, for ladies looking for that service; however I did see 2 people (1 going in, the other when I was leaving) getting everything else conceivable done for their feet. My massage was with a wonderful lady by the name of Kathryn, who I can vouch is a consummate professional at what she does -- and yet is very holistic and compassionate and will do everything in her power to help you walk out feeling fantastic. The lighting in the room was subdued but not completely darkened, the bed was very supportive and the sheets and pads were very clean -- no holes in as were reported at a few other high-end places! Soft, ambient music completes the escape from everyday life. The oil she used was not overly slick and was a nice complement to her skilled hands. I was able to get the pressure I needed and the force did not increase into the teeth-gritting painful zone that sometimes occurs. Kathryn is a woman of great skill and talent in her field, but I was told by the front desk person Kristin that every one of their therapists are very skilled and amazing, talented people. The business itself is somewhat smaller (not tiny, certainly) than the huge places you might find elsewhere, but I found that this lent more to the charm that being here already cast on me. It is a wonderful place to getaway for an hour or 2 and you will not leave here feeling unpampered!!! They also have in general very gracious business hours to help accomodate working professionals!

Pros: Amazing masseuse and very good value, leaving room for generous tips!

Cons: The minutes will spin by very quickly here :( :( Everyone has to leave Paradise...

If you're really looking for a comfortable place to relax, then look no further. Great staff. Variety of services. Try out the float tanks. It's such a cool experience to be in a dark quiet place with zero gravity. Great for your body and mind. The massage therapists offer a variety of services including Reiki, cranial sacral, prenatal and neuromuscular massage. The prices are reasonable for a spa experience. Their aestheticians are licensed and professional. The hours on Monday and Tuesday are extended to 8pm which is great for someone that works late and they are open all weekend including Sunday. Very low key and zen-like.

Pros: parking, atmosphere, float tanks, staff knowledge, customer service, hours

I can't get enough massages in my life time and decided to try New West because of the location convience. I booked the romance package, on a weekend. The staff was warm and welcoming. I will say I don't like taking my shoes off in a public place, unless I'm offered slippers or something else to wear. They took us back on time. The "footbath" was cold and the warm fireplace was fake and plugged in to the wall? However the massage was awesome. We both got different kinds of massages and really enjoyed them. They served us wine, but the chocalate was just hersey's kisses. Pretty cool experience, and ambiance, oh and the price is affordable. They have a few things to work on, but I'd go back and next time I'm trying the float tank thing!

Pros: location and skill

Cons: new buisness with kinks

Posted 05/15/07

I have sent my mother AND my husband for their birthdays for all day treatments. They both felt comfortable and really enjoyed the day. It will send many others as well as me for a fun treat.

Posted 05/15/07

I had a package that included a massage a detox and a float, it was awesome, I really enjoyed the float and i would recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it. the service was great and everyone was friendly and considerate. I will defiantly be going back

Pros: float tank

Posted 05/02/07

Their schedule was at least 30 minutes behind we didn't get a phone call to let us know ahead of time and the atmosphere was tense, our services were okay and this was on a Monday.

Pros: location, unique

Cons: small, unprofessional

Pros: Location, Staff, The whole shabang

Finally! A spa that doesn't resemble every other faux "posh" spa. It's not that A New Spirit isn't all that those spas are, but it has a unique face, a spirit all its own. Everything about it oozes serenity and tranquility. It offers all that the froo-froo spas offer, but without any of the intimidating, snooty pretense! AND, they've got floatation which is better than a mud wrap or sauna, let me tell you. If you're looking for a spa experience that'll make you feel like all your personal warm fuzzies, A New Spirit is the place for you!!

Posted 08/18/05

I've had several treatments at A New Spirit and recommend it highly. It is truely a hidden treasure. The atmosphere, the flotation tank, the decor...all wonderful!

A New Spirit has a very healing environment. I had a massage and a facial. The therapist was very good, friendly and nurturing. I get a lot of bodywork and this massage was by far the best I've had in a long time. I would highly recommend this center if anyone is looking for a really good massage and a relaxing environment.

Pros: good parking, knowledgeable staff, beautiful environment

My husband and I get couples massages at a new spirit every other week. Our experience has always been exceptional. I'm a little upset with the bad review I read about them. They did not describe the massage room right at all! They had to have gone somewhere else. The couples massage room is very beautifully decorated in a Japanese type theme. The room is candlelit, the music is always relaxing and with the fireplace, and wine makes it very romantic. It's a great way for my husband and I to do a little bonding and reconnect from our hectic lifestyles. The room is very dark with only one window. The window treatment is a bamboo blind. It's very quiet and always smells so nice with different essential oils in the air. I would recommend any service they have to offer there. The staff, and massages are good and consistant.

Pros: tranquil setting, priced right, friendly staff

Posted 06/09/04

The massage rooms are beatifully decorated, the atmosphere is very relaxing. I had a massage and facial. The therapists were very good and professional. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Pros: good value, skilled therapists, great location

Posted 11/09/03

I have had several massages and facials, and all the therapists are exceptional! Their couples massage is the best.

Pros: relaxing, friendly, centrally located
