The visit

How an hour here goes

I

Arrive early

Tea, robe, a quiet room. The treatment starts before the therapist does — fifteen minutes of nothing asked of you.

II

Say what hurts

A short consultation, every time, not just the first visit. What the body needs this week is rarely what it needed last.

III

The hour itself

Phones stay outside. Pressure is checked, not guessed. Nothing is upsold while you are lying down.

IV

Leave slowly

Water, a warm room, and as long as you want in it. You book the treatment; the hour after it is included.

If you've ever had neck pain, go to Linda. I left Sanctuary Spa today feeling completely free of pain, and I can turn my head to the left! Which is awesome.
Karen NLinda Minichiello · Aug 2023
I've been getting facials for over 15 years and she is the only esthetician that has made me look better right after a facial. My skin glows. She tends to my sensitive skin and explains what's going on so I can better treat my skin at home.

This was my first massage with Linda and it won't be my last. She relieved me of pain and tension I've been struggling with for months. Best massage I've ever had!
Jessica DLinda Minichiello · Feb 2024
Before getting started, she took the time to learn more about me and why I needed the service, making sure she focused on the areas that mattered most. I received the Lymphatic Facial, and my face looks and feels wonderful.
Joy FGlenda Ruth · Jan 2026
Glenda is exceptional! Skilled with skin care and soft tissue management. She is helping me with scar tissue on my face from a bad fall. Thank you for time and attention to detail in meeting my unique needs.

Prioritize massages. It's one of the best ways to take care of yourself and manage stress and pain. Linda will work with you to focus on the areas that need help.

I love working with Linda. She is so skilled and creative in her therapy. Her presence is incredibly therapeutic! She works with me on my particular issues at every visit.

Before you come

Questions people ask

Then say so when you book. First visits get a longer consultation and a therapist who explains each step before it happens. Nothing is uncovered that does not need to be.
