Restorative Wellness
Restorative Wellness
Restorative wellness is the quieter side of what we do — and for the guests who find it, can be the most meaningful.
Where massage works with muscles and facials support skin health, restorative wellness works with the nervous system. These are the sessions guests come to when they’re overwhelmed, mentally fatigued, or simply in need of something slower and more meditative. The results are real: a sense of calm, a body that has had a chance to fully exhale, and a mind that is, for a moment, still.
At Spa Manzanita, restorative wellness includes energy healing with Rae and Julie, acupressure and sound therapy, vibroacoustic restoration, red light therapy, and this summer, Shiatsu with Keara — a bodywork practice rooted in Japanese Shiatsu and Chinese medicine.
And for groups seeking something beyond the spa visit, our Private Wellness Experiences bring it all to you — an intimate, in-residence journey delivered directly to your vacation rental or retreat house.
our practitioners
Rae is a Reiki Master whose sessions carry a quality of presence and depth that guests return to again and again.
Julie brings acupressure, sound healing, vibroacoustic therapy, and Reiki — a full range of restorative modalities now available at the spa.
reiki energy healing
Reiki is a gentle form of energy work that supports relaxation and balance. Using light touch or hands placed just above the body, Your practitioner helps guide the body’s natural energetic flow. Many guests experience warmth, a deep sense of calm, or a quiet release during the session. Others simply rest more deeply than they have in months.
Reiki is especially beneficial for those experiencing stress, emotional fatigue, or a need for something quieter and more restorative than traditional bodywork.
Thirty minutes $70 | Forty-five minutes $105 | Sixty minutes $140
acupressure & sound
Acupressure meets sound in this deeply grounding session. Therapeutic vibrations from tuning forks are applied directly to acupressure points, meridians, and chakras — encouraging the body to release tension, restore balance, and return to its natural rhythms. Calm the mind, settle the nervous system, and leave feeling centered and quietly renewed.
Thirty minutes $70 | Forty-five minutes $100 | Sixty minutes $130

restorative resonance
The most immersive session Julie offers. Restorative Resonance combines therapeutic sound, gentle vibration, and intuitive energy work to help the body settle and restore balance. You’ll lie comfortably, fully clothed on a vibroacoustic sound mat while low-frequency sound waves move gently through the body — encouraging the nervous system to slow down and release tension.

red light therapy (restorative)
Available at Spa Manzanita – Restoration Room
Our dedicated red light therapy room is a quiet, warm space designed for one thing: allowing the body to fully settle.
Red light therapy uses gentle red and near-infrared light — without heat — to support restoration and calm. Lie back, let the light wash over you, and simply rest. Many guests add it as a wind-down after massage; others book it as a standalone restorative session.
How does it compare to infrared sauna? The sauna goes deeper — full-body warmth, detox, circulation. Red light therapy goes quieter — a more meditative, nervous-system-focused experience. Both are restorative. The right choice depends on what your body is asking for.
12 minute add-on after a treatment $25
20 minute stand-alone session $35
infrared sauna
Available at Spa Manzanita
Our infrared sauna uses mid and far infrared wavelengths for a deeply warming, full-body experience — ideal for detox, circulation, muscle recovery, and deep restoration.

Reviews
From Our Clients
I love this spa! I’ve been 7 to 9 times over the last five years or so for facials and massages and I’m amazed at the consistency in the quality of services. The facials are the best combination of effective, immediately noticeable treatment (a rarity at other places) and relaxation with arm/neck/scalp massage. And I don’t know how or where they get their massage therapists but all of my massages here have been among the best I’ve had anywhere. This is a must stop for me nearly every time I’m in Manzanita- and I’m a repeat customer here more than any other single spa – including home in Napa, CA.
