There is a new relaxation haven in town, and it’s unlike any San Diego spa you’ve seen before. Sanctuate! is an urban concept spa of sorts that emphasizes affordable, quality massages for everyone. But in the place of a masseuse you will find a plush massage chair that operates with DreamWave technology.
The high-tech Inada Sogno DreamWave massage chairs redefine the traditional day spa experience. A likely massage technique of the future, the chair automatically adjusts to your height and body type with the simple press of a button and uses an infrared system to identify problem areas and target acupressure points. Once settled, you have eight full-body massage programs to choose from, and can enjoy the chair for as long as you need, with options from 15 to 90 minutes.
Sanctuate! is a refuge for those seeking massage results without an over-the-top luxury spa atmosphere and price tag. There is no need to get undressed, greasy and covered in oil; Sanctuate! is designed to offer a convenient and efficient experience, and each individual chair comes equipped with Bose noise-cancelling headsets and overlooks a flat screen TV with rotating images of nature. Around you are domed ceilings, soft lighting and fresh aromatherapy scents, engaging all five senses.
“One of the great features, aside from its convenience and affordability, is that the massage is safe for pregnant moms and young adults, said Karima Zaki, founder of Sanctuate!. “In today’s hectic and demanding society, everyone should have an option to relax and relieve tension and stress.”
Standard plan options include a 15 minute Top Off treatment for $19, a 30 minute Half Empty treatment for $29, 45 minute Gettin’ Low for $39, 60 minute On Empty for $46 and the ultimate 90 minute On Fumes session for $59. You can also purchase monthly packages, such as six Top Off treatments for $95.
Sanctuate! is located at 3619 Midway Drive, Suite K in Point Loma Plaza, and opens doors to the public on Wednesday, Jan. 25. For more information and to make an appointment, visit sanctuate.com
