Doctors Orders -- Spa Get-Aways



Have you gotten the urge to say WOW- time is flying already we are already four months into the year.  Time is flying.  Well I decided this year my approach will be to take a new refresh look on life which will help to create a balance in my personal life, family relationships, community activities, and work environment.  I will find "wholeness" through acknowledging, honoring, and healing all my individual parts (mind, body, spirit and emotions)!
 

So this year- I have decided to follow my doctors orders from last year.  Her suggestion was to take a nice trip to a resort-spa get-away I never made it.  This year I am going to fill this prescription and follow her orders.  So in case there are some readers out there that need to take the same medicine here goes.  

 So I have gotten some wonderful suggestions on places to go from the help of Spa-Magazine.

There's something inherently sublime in contrasts.Vibrant versus serene.Cosmopolitan versus bucolic. restful versus reinvigorating. in certain environments, observance of either can heighten appreciation of both. Trellis, The Spa at The Houstonian is just such an environment.

Set in an urban forest, tucked away from uptown Houston’s din, it could be said that spa treatments at Trellis begin before one even enters its Mediterranean-inspired structure. The spa’s environs, The Houstonian Hotel grounds, are a quiet oasis of relaxation in the heart of one of the country’s most energetic business and shopping districts.

Once inside, the city further melts away. Gentle waterfalls are the soundtrack and 17,000 square feet of treatment rooms, luxurious shower and dressing facilities, a calming float pool and silent relaxation room form the setting for a menu of more than 100 services, including treatments especially for men, teens and mothers-to-be. Product lines from Carita, decleor, [ comfort zone ] and Phytomer further distinguish Trellis as the area’s only 4-star resort and day spa. 

Trellis offers unparalleled luxury without pretense – a visit seeming more like an elegant garden party among close friends. Service is remarkably attentive when needed and blissfully invisible when not; simply, the perfect escape. The contrast of metropolitan energy to natural tranquility is palpable. The harmony achieved at Trellis, The Spa at The Houstonian is therefore all the more significant. a worthy bearer of The Houstonian brand of service and hospitality, Trellis is one of metropolitan Houston’s precious few serenely non-metropolitan experiences.
