Red Door Spa: Signature Stress Melter Ritual

{Disclaimer: I am a Red Door Spa #GalSquad Ambassador and receive services at no cost.}

If you’ve been following along with me on Instagram (find me here), you know that I’m doing a countdown to the end of the year with the goal to get back into a regular workout program. Well, yesterday I took care of my body and mental health in another way, a much needed visit to the Red Door spa.

For my November service as a Red Door Spa ambassador, I was lucky enough to get to experience the Red Door Signature Stress Melter Ritual. The Signature Stress Melter Ritual ($255) is an integration of soothing services, including an olive oil skin softening scrub, aroma therapeutic body wrap, and massage. The purpose is to melt stress and re-balance your spirit, which sounded like exactly what I needed.

Let’s just say that I was really in need of some stress melting when I visited the spa on Wednesday. When I met Mary, my massage therapist, I knew I had come to the right place. She was absolutely wonderful and her hands are basically magic.

The session started with an olive oil and salt scrub, where she scrubbed the mixture all over my body (I asked her to avoid my arm tattoo). Then, I jumped in the shower and washed it all off while she re-made the massage bed with a foil wrap. Once I came out, I laid on the wrap (with a towel over my bits and pieces) and she massaged a rose aromatherapy oil all over me. Then, she wrapped me up in the foil wrap like a human baked potato and left me to relax for about 20 minutes. I never knew how relaxing it was to be a baked potato.

When Mary returned, it was my favorite part of the whole shebang, a full body massage. To say that the Signature Stress Melter Ritual was the ultimate treat would be an understatement. I walked out of that spa with a whole different attitude. I felt like I was a new person!

I woke up this morning feeling hopeless. I spent the morning so full of sadness that it literally hurt. This is Mary, my massage therapist from The Red Door spa and being with her for the last couple hours has healed me. The Signature Stress Melter Ritual was just what I needed — the scrub, oil and massage could literally not been better or more relaxing — but what I think I really needed was the grace of Mary. Thank you again to my friends at the @reddoorspa and if you are near the Gaithersburg location make an appointment to see Mary as soon as you can. I know I will. ❤️ (PS promo code for 20% off on last post). #reddoorspa #galsquad
