A Spa for You Sedona Day Spa - Enter into warm, personalized care.
As an official Sedona enthusiast and an unofficial Arizona travel writer, I was thrilled at the opportunity to experience a treatment at A Spa for You Sedona Day Spa last month. The owner and therapist, Thea Draaisma, greeted me warmly in her quaint and Scandinavian-style sanctuary.
A prime example of an emerging trend in spas, the one-person spa, A Spa for You Sedona Day Spa allows guests to experience his or her therapist’s complete, undivided attention in complete privacy and stillness. And because the personalized attention is delivered in a home studio or – like A Spa for You – in residential-style dwelling used exclusively as a spa, guests can relax for less; you know you’re not paying for elaborate decor, excess staff and other overhead expenses.
That’s not to say that A Spa for You wasn’t nicely appointed; quite the contrary. Just as with fancy resort spas and destination spas, I settled for some pre-treatment relaxation and hydration in the common space while Thea prepared me and the treatment room for my experience.
I was lucky enough to have Thea’s signature Japanese Facial Massage – the perfect blend of facial and body treatment – which Thea gave with personalized and genuine care. With a gentle sort of “plucking” stroke, the Japanese Facial Massage felt like tiny butterflies dancing on my skin and refreshing my face with hydrating, cooling and replenishing goodness.
A Spa for You uses Lafemation 100% pure botanical skin care products from which Thea customized to my individual skin’s needs. I would write the rest of what happened during the treatment, but I fell into such a deeply relaxed state that was completely uninterrupted by thoughts of what my blog post might containg. Sorry, but it’s true. You’ll just have to go to A Spa for You and learn for yourself.
Thea is deeply knowledgeable, with a resume that includes some of the country’s finest and most acclaimed spas. But the most engaging thing about Thea is the obvious and genuine care she has for each of her clients and her business. I strongly encourage Sedona visitors and locals alike to seek out A spa for You – find them on our Spas in Sedona section on Sedona.net or go directly to A Spa for You Sedona Day Spa’s website.

If you go: Check out the map and note that A Spa for You is a one-person spa. So look for a gray-green residential 2-story apartment building at the top of Kayenta Court. Park in front of Unit #2, and enter through the charming red door. Observe usual spa etiquette; arrive at least 15 minutes early, wear comfortable clothing and turn off your cell phone. Because Thea is the owner and therapist, some etiquette experts may say that a gratuity is not required, but I felt she certainly deserved it and her prices are so reasonable, you can afford to tip graciously and still mind your budget.
Full disclosure: Yes, the treatment was complimentary. Yes, A Spa For You Sedona Day Spa is a paid advertiser on our travel site, Sedona.net. No, I was not asked to write a review or give a testimonial – I just loved my experience so much that I wanted everyone to know about it.
