This weekend I experienced two firsts….both a massage and a facial.
I kept hearing from friends, “Oh you will be so relaxed.” If you know me, thinking about 2.5 hours detached from my phone, news and internet was pretty stressful. They had their work cut out for them.
Danny, at the new Massage Envy Spa in Owasso, welcomed me by name when I walked in the door. He asked me to complete a brief questionnaire about my health, preferences, etc., and asked me about my answers before I went back.
Once the forms were completed, I was led to the Tranquility Room. The room is beautifully furnished; complete with soft music, cozy furnishings and a glowing fireplace.
When my time came, my massage therapist, Simone, walked with me to my private room. Being a newbie, she walked me through the routine and made me feel completely comfortable.Soft lighting, relaxing music, a soft heated massage table…….I was feeling pretty good before we even got started.
Having MS, I have always been told massage would benefit me. Since I had not experienced a massage before, I opted for the medium strength massage. Not to hard, not to soft was my reasoning.
Once we got started, Simone found places I didn’t even realize were tense until she began to work them. She worked through each and every spot to ease away the stress and tension. I loved the aroma therapy lotion that was used to heighten the experience. After a 90 minute head to toe massage, I could not believe how relaxed I was. Not one ache anywhere, which for me is unheard of. After a short time I was not thinking about my phone or work at all.
The 90 minutes went amazingly fast. When we were finished Simone had me all ready for the esthetician, Danielle. Danielle made sure I was absolutely comfortable (how could I not be?). She asked about my skin care goals and took time to give me an individual evaluation and chose the facial that would work best with my sensitive skin.
The next hour was pure relaxation. From the hot towels to the cool, calming lotions and masks, every step was soothing and relaxing. When the facial was complete,
I was provided with a list of recommendations for my specific needs. I did purchase a few of the products used during my facial and am impressed by how smooth and hydrated my skin feels.

After 2.5 hours of being pampered, I felt like jello. I was so relaxed that it felt strange to leave the absolute peaceful surroundings and head out into the real world.
Will I go back? You bet, many, many times! If you find Owassoisms “offline” you will probably find me there. Massage Envy Spa is open late nights and weekends to accomodate your hectic schedule and provide the relaxation you need when you need it. Visit their website to schedule your appointment.
