After the bustle of holiday parties and shopping, winter can feel like a letdown. Short days mean less sunlight, which can lead to a decrease  in energy or mood. The pace of life slows dramatically, as colder weather drives people indoors.

If you’re the type who dreads the winter, we suggest using these months as a quiet time to focus on your emotional and physical well-being. By treating yourself to relaxing, rewarding activities that enhance your total health, you’ll feel positive and rejuvenated before you even get to spring.

The Spa at Briarcliff offers a holistic philosophy as a Murad Inclusive Health Center. More than just pampering, we address three levels of treatment: topical (the treatment itself), internal (whole body health) and emotional (making you feel good about yourself). This season, consider trying something special by immersing yourself in one of our water treatments. Say goodbye to stress and hello to a winter of content!

• The Float Experience. Everyday expectations, stress, and the aging effect of gravity take their toll on all of us. “Floating” helps to promote the release of endorphins, which rejuvenates your body and mine. With 60 minutes of floating, your body and mind can experience the equivalent of four hours’ normal rest. The Float Experience is an enclosed room within a room, to ensure a calming, private setting where the body can remain in a state of tranquility. The body simply “floats” in 12 inches of buoyant, mineral-rich, termperature-maintained (94°F) water. The Float Experience is designed to detoxify the body, sedate the nervous system, relax muscles, reduce fatigue, promote healing, enhance creativity and much more.
• The Amazon RiverWalk™ Experience. Schedule your next service in the Amazon RiverWalk™ room, and your senses will immediately tell the difference. Experience sheer bliss as your absorb the candlelit fireplace. Relax in the currents of the Riverbath, before moving to the massage table for a Relaxation Massage, perhaps an invigorating body treatment or a maybe a renewing facial. Finish in the private, feature shower with multiple body sprays.
• The European Bath Ritual™.  Our European Bath Ritual™ consists of three-jetted pools with cascading waterfalls. Each pool is a different temperature to ease muscle tension, increase circulation and promote relaxation. We highly recommend using the pools and waterfalls prior to any massage, to extend effective massage time by warming up your muscles. Swimsuit required.
