AREA Spa

A holistic home away from home.

The Scene

You don't have to be a holistic enthusiast to unwind at this homey four-room spa nestled in a quaint brownstone. But if you are, you'll appreciate the hard-to-find Dr. Hauschka skin and body care treatments, performed using his signature techniques and organic products. At the upper-level yoga studio, Ashtanga, Jivamukti and Vinyasa classes are offered. Down the boutique-lined street, at the spa's shop, scoop up herbal teas, homeopathic remedies, supplements, Weleda organic skincare, and Dr. Hauschka's line.

The Services

Book a soothing Rhythmical Body Treatment ($100) to renew balance, detoxify the immune and digestive systems and strengthen hormone and metabolism functions. Or try a two-hour holistic facial--including full-body stretching. You'll start with a sage foot soak to get you out of stress mode and ready for relaxation. Mud and seaweed body treatments are on the menu, as well as ten types of massage (including back walking), reflexology, waxing, and nail services.

Due Warning

AREA has a strict cancellation policy. You must call 24 hours in advance or your credit card will be charged the full fee of the appointment. If you were using a gift certificate, your freebie will be considered null and void.

Doctor Doctor

The entire staff are devotees of the Dr. Hauschka skin care line. If you've ever questioned whether the line works or not, this staff is committed to convincing you otherwise.

Walk on By

It isn't a good idea to pop into AREA on a whim to get that summer leg wax. You can try, but expect to wait a few hours for an available beautician.

Stretch Your Dollar

To encourage students to return, AREA promises your second yoga class is free. Furthermore, class cards are sold in series of 6, 12 or 24 as well as on a monthly basis. Private instruction is also available.
