Spa Room

Within the spa room trinity, each therapeutic modality offers a full spectrum medicinal saturation in the wild plants and minerals of the Northern New Mexico region. The spa room offers a distraction-less, self-healing natural tree grove environment and a pure "drop- in" experience. Let nature hold and nourish you to relieve stiffness and dryness from our high altitude. Read here for pricing of our spa treatments.

Hot Stone Therapy Bed

Our Bed of smooth river and ocean basalt mirrors an ancient technique of heat exchange between the muscle tissue of the body, the spinal cord and the stones. The hot stone bed encourages a softening of the muscle tissue, relaxation and a learning relationship with our symptoms and pain. The minerals and crystals in the basalt support expansive healing.

Copper Tub Soak

Our double bench Japanese Copper soaking tub amplifies an alchemical exchange between the native plant medicine infused in the water and the body, encouraging lymphatic movement, muscle relaxation and deep tissue hydration. Soften and unlock the spine and body tissue, allowing for a deep hydrating and cleansing experience.

Juniper Tree Wet Steam Sauna

The steam sauna is hand crafted and custom designed with a true labor of love out of local harvested, burn scared and dead standing Rocky Mountain Juniper trees. The Steam Sauna releases its volume of moisture through a copper pipe that sends hot steam directly steeping into a base blend of lymphatic stimulating and respiratory plant tea medicine.

Native Plant Apothecary

We offer a wonderment of medicinal tea blending potential and Spa soaking inspiration. We pull the strong salty and mineral holding plants from the Apothecary shelves to prepare the poured infusions for the copper soaking tub and encourage blend designing for symptoms and relaxation.We hope to see you soon.
