Celebrate SpaWeek April 21-27 With $50 Spa & Wellness Treatments
As a busy lifestyle blogger, social media strategist and mom of four teenagers all born within a year including triplets plus one, stress is my all too frequent companion. I needed this pampering session and was really looking forward to it. Yet, eventhough I've had massages and facials before, this was my first visit to The Raven Spa, a Traditional Thai Massage and Day Spa in Santa Monica, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

First I was treated to The Raven Custom Massage by massage therapist Jasmine. This is a full body massage so it requires you to remove all jewelry and clothing (except panties) and lie face down under a sheet for privacy on a very comfortable massage table. The treatment itself lasted an hour and involved lots of different techniques and styles to deeply relax virtually every part of my body from head to toe. Designed to work on your most troublesome aches and pains, this customized massage is truly made-to-order and thorough and includes a wonderful oil massage. It's also a great way to experiment with a variety of massage styles to discover what you enjoy most and of course includes some traditional Thai massaging, an ancient treatment more than 2,500 years old.

The Radiant Raven Organic Facial
After having the most amazing body massage I think I've ever experienced, I felt euphoric. I couldn't imagine feeling any better than I already did. Then in walks Sidaphan, the facialist, to give an organic facial which was another first for me, and another high -- lacking for a better word to describe it. This, too, was unlike other facials I've had before.
From the start this highly customized treatment felt much more gentle to my skin and also to my sense of smell because there were no strong chemical or articial fumes to breathe in. Instead my first-ever pure organic facial intertwined a variety of mild Enessa brand organic skincare lotions and potions which are also available at the spa for purchase to take home. These essential, all-natural essential oils and lotions are made with concentrated extracts of plants, flowers and herbs that contain nutrients, enzymes, minerals and antiseptic properties to revive and help repair the skin.

The Peaceful Finish
No matter what service(s) you enjoy at The Raven, besides feeling radiant, this is what you have to look foward to after your treatment session has ended. The pampering continues as you make your way toward the entrance with a stop in the luxurious post-spa room.
