Spa Manzanita
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, red light therapy, and this summer, Shiatsu with Keara — a bodywork practice rooted in Japanese Shiatsu and Chinese medicine.
Extended offerings through our sister location The Studio House & Co. in Nehalem. bring sound healing, vibroacoustic therapy, and Reiki with Julie.
And for groups seeking an in-residence experience at their vacation rental or retreat house, our Private Wellness Experiences bring it all to you.

At the Spa
reiki energy healing with Rae
Rae is a Reiki Master — and it shows. Rae’s sessions carry a quality of presence and depth that guests return to again and again.
Reiki is a gentle form of energy work that supports relaxation and balance. Using light touch or hands placed just above the body, Rae 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
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.
15 minute add-on after a treatment $35
20 minute stand-alone session $40
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.
single person session $45
two-person session $80
At the The Studio House & Co.
Restorative Wellness with Julie
Nehalem, OR – 10 minutes from Spa Manzanita
Julie Johnston brings a depth of restorative practice that complements everything we offer at the spa. Her sessions are offered at The Studio House & Co. in Nehalem — a quiet, intentional space that is a natural extension of the Spa Manzanita experience.
Julie offers three modalities at The Studio House:
restorative resonance
(sound + vibration + energy)
The most immersive session Julie offers. Sound, vibration, and intuitive energy work combine as you lie fully clothed on a vibroacoustic mat. Low-frequency sound waves move gently through the body, encouraging the nervous system to slow down and release tension. Julie integrates live instruments and subtle energy work throughout.
Many guests experience a quiet sense of calm and clarity, leaving the session feeling lighter, centered, and deeply restored.
Forty-five minutes $110 | Sixty minutes $150
sound healing
Singing bowls, tuning forks, and other instruments create tones and vibrations that encourage deep relaxation. Many guests experience a natural slowing of the mind and a release of tension they didn’t realize they were carrying.
Sound Healing is especially beneficial for guests seeking stress relief, mental clarity, or simply a peaceful space to unwind.
Thirty minutes $70 | Forty-five minutes $100 | Sixty minutes $130
reiki with Julie
Julie’s Reiki sessions offer the same gentle energy work and deep restoration as Reiki at the spa — in the warm, alive setting of The Studio House.
Thirty minutes $70 | Forty-five minutes $105 | Sixty minutes $140

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.
