About Us

Euphoria Principals

Following your heart  Intuition is the most powerful key that we each possess. The power of listening to the heart unlocks stagnant energy and establishes a profound reaction to healing. Immediate relief  can be sensed by the person receiving, and a deeper understanding can be felt by the technician.

Connecting More and more research suggests people need to feel connected to other people. The first step is connecting with yourself! Solidarity can provide the balance your mind, body, and spirit crave and heightens the aura. The connection with your therapist during your spa service will help your mind feel at ease, so your body can reap the benefits of healing touch.

Learning We are always learning from each other! We constantly expand our knowledge of products and services with advanced seminars, continuing education and monthly meetings. We embrace listening, learning, and teaching as we work doing what we love. There is no ego involved when it comes to providing spa services. It is always an honor when someone allows you into their personal space, and we take that responsibility seriously while still having fun!

Euphoria – Happy Healing

Euphoria is a sacred place for healing. Happy healing! Each member of the team respects this sanctuary by coming from a higher place, tuning into his or her intuition and having an intention of holding space for guests to receive. We create a safe place for our guests to experience themselves and gain insight by being grounded, free from judgments. genuine and sincere.

All of our services use some kind of hands on healing that opens the hearts and consciousness of our guests. Our staff listens beyond the physical touch, is client centered and always present in the moment.

Euphoria is a place where everyone does their part to feel alive, better and more grounded and in turn make others feel this way.  Euphoria is symbolic of the positive “state of mind” and prepares a strong, happy and balanced person to deal with the tides of life.  Each person is of utmost importance and treated as such with care, respect and compassion. 

Spa Etiquette

From the start our spa managers are here to help you choose treatments or create a spa program that fits your needs. We invite you to experience the ultimate Euphoria within your time frame and budget.

What to wear You are about to enter a relaxed and professional environment. You should always feel comfortable from the moment you walk into the spa. You are welcome to change into a robe or change in the treatment room, removing or leaving undergarments is your preference. If you are having a facial, it is recommended you remove your shoes and socks and remove bra straps that may interfere with décolleté and arm massage. It is best to leave necklaces and bracelets at home, however, you may put them in a dish in your treatment room until your service is completed.

What should I bring Yourself! We will provide you with fresh cucumber infused water and a selection of teas upon request.

When to arrive Treatments begin precisely at the appointed time. Please arrive 15 minutes in advance. Doing so will allow for comfortable check-in and lounging time.  Late arrival will only have the effect of shortening your treatment and not allow you to benefit from the Euphoria experience. Appointments that are at least 20 minutes late are subject to the 100% cancellation fee; however you can still receive the treatment with the remaining amount of time allotted if the spa schedule allows.

Cancellation Policy Reflecting the limited availability of appointments, a minimum of 24 hours advance notice is required for cancellation or reschedule of any treatment.  Guests who fail to notify us within the 24 hour courtesy window, will be charged 100% of the entire treatment fee.  A 35% charge will apply for esthetic appointments and massage appointments that were rescheduled within the 24-hour window. Credit card information is required for all reservations. Please note that cancelled appointments are non-refundable.

How and when do I pay Please present Gift Certificates upon arrival. If you wish to substitute the gifted service, the gift certificate can be redeemed at full cash value for any service you wish, and balances must be paid. 
We accept cash, American Express, Discover, Visa and MasterCard. Although we require a credit card for reservations, we do not automatically charge this card. The only time your card will be processed without your swipe, is if you request to prepay for a service over the phone for yourself or as a gift, and/or cancellation policy violations. You may pay for your products and services when you arrive or when you are all finished.

How much to tip Gratuity is greatly appreciated. Industry standards are 15%- 20% of the pretax service price, however, you may leave any amount that feels comfortable to you.

How do I talk to my spa therapist One of our staff motto's is to have open and honest communication with each other. Respect and trust are crucial elements in good relationships. This applies to a client/therapist relationship. Although for some people communication may feel daunting, it is true that the more we know about you, the better we may serve you. Health concerns and goals, existing conditions, medications especially retinol creams are a few examples of important information to include for us to ensure safe and effective treatments.

Our skin experts have hand-picked the best of the best product lines in order to satisfy every skin type including: Dermalogica, Somme Institute, Sundari, Luzern, Cosmedix, Elta MD, NUFace, and Khushi.

Services – Something for everyone

Our most popular services are Fresh Air Facial- a cross between results and relaxation using bio Swiss organic products (Luzern). Customized for every skin type sensitive to pregnant skin!  You can upgrade to pumpkin peel or microderm.

M'N'M (much needed massage) is customized to each persons needs for those who want to relax or need deep muscle work. It is all included! Usually sell packages and introduce hot poultice for deep muscle aches and pains as another upgrade.

Spray Tan- the spray tan gives an immediate color to the skin and lasts for 7-10 days. It helps prevent skin cancer by keeping people out of the sun! It also covers acne and cellulite! We pair this with body polishes to get rid of any left over color and rehydrate the skin. We also suggest microdermabrasion to keep solution out of pores if tans are done regularly.

Waxing helps people feel smooth and attractive. We won best painless wax by the Village Voice!

We transition many customers from waxing into IPL for permanent hair reduction which is life changing for those who have ingrown or unsightly body hair. We won New York magazine best hair removal experts!

Eyelashes (we pair with a tan). Many women have short lashes and find that mascara runs and gives you black eyes! Not cute! Eyelash extensions and synthetic and are applied to each lash by a licensed esthetician with surgical grade glue. You will want to come back when the lashes fall out 4-6 weeks later. You look glamorous with literally no makeup and no need for drippy clumpy mascara.

Kneading each other Couples learn to massage each other. It is fun, informative and relaxing since your partner and an LMT massage you!
