Faithfully taking care of your
skin and eating well can add years to your
looks. Using the right products topically and taking
internal supplements is the key to health, youth and
beauty. I do believe in seaweed and essential
oils. Source Vital and Sanctuary Spa a great
combination. I wish this for all who care.

"Brea
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you,
Androulla, Lindsay and your staff for the wonderful
experience I had on Sunday. I'm so happy to have
found Sanctuary and look forward to returning in the
future. Following is a review that I plan to post
this evening on SpaFinder.com. Feel free to use it
on your website as well if you wish.
Sanctuary Spa is Houston's jewel. Tucked away in an
unexpected location, it's the perfect 'zen den' to
relax and rejuvenate. This was my first visit and
from the moment I walked in the door, I love it.
It's the perfect combination of holistic treatments
and wonderful ambiance...rich red walls, wonderful
smells of essential oils, beautiful music, and a
friendly and talented staff.
I had an all day package planned which started with
a facial given by Lindsay. it was fabulous and the
Source Vital products smell so yummy! In between
treatments, I sat and relaxed in a quiet corner
drinking Chamomile Vanilla tea and reading a
magazine. The next treatment was a Salt Glow by a
therapist named Androulla. It was the best I have
every had and was followed by a Seaweed Wrap, and a
Vichy Shower. The Vichy is to die for! The
alternating hot and cold water sent me into a
nirvana-like state. Androulla then gave me a
wonderful massage that was pure bliss.
You know in your hear when you find something
special. I truly believe Sanctuary is one of those
places and look forward to returning."
Susan R.--Houston “No words can express how I felt after this facial
(extraction). My skin feels more alive than ever and
my body is relaxed from the light neck and shoulder
massage. Michelle, thank you so much for using your
lovely and amazing hands to heal my face. I will
definitely see you next week. The best facial ever,
thanks Brea!" ChiChi --Houston "I received the Full Monty (bikini nude) and a brow
wax. Shannon is the greatest and made me feel
extremely comfortable and relaxed and it took no
time at all. You will definitely be seeing me again
and I will recommend Sanctuary to others. Keep up
the good work!" Courtney B.--Houston "I first visited Sanctuary
Spa
to check things out before making an appointment. I
was greeted warmly, given a tour, and all of my
questions and concerns were addressed. I was SO
impressed that I immediately made an appointment!
When we arrived for our Couple's Massage, all of
our anxiety and modesty concerns were quickly eased.
Our therapists Renee and Androulla were respectful
and showed genuine concern. We were able to fully
enjoy our special day.
Since then, we've returned for another Couple's
Massage and we also treated my mother to an evening
of pampering while she visited us from Michigan. We
were treated by Renee, Quinn, and Androulla on those
occasions. However, each time we visit, it feels as
if the entire staff is waiting just for us!
Sanctuary Spa is a beautiful experience."
Sincerely, Jenny & Rob--Webster, TX "I received the 'Bikini Nude' and a brow wax--it was
very relaxing, nice atmosphere, very friendly and a
great experience. I will be seeing you again and
would recommend Sanctuary to others." Jamie D.--Houston April F. says: "I've
gone to other spas in town but none compare to the
attention the staff gives here. Recommended by my facialist Lilly, I had the microderm and the
mandelac peel three weeks prior to my wedding and my
skin looked great. I also had the "Brazilian" and
was very happy with the results".
Julie V.-- Montgomery, TX had the "Full Monty Bikini
Wax" on her first visit and she says "Best ever! No
pain--and not even one hair left standing!" She will
absolutely be seeing us again and would recommend
Sanctuary Spa to others. Christina H.-- Alvin, TX had a full spa package
(facial, scrub, body wrap, etc) on her first visit
she says “Well I can’t pick a favorite, everything
was awesome, I feel like a brand new person!” She
said she would recommend us to others and plans to
visit again. Cheri F.-- Bellaire, TX had a massage with Quinn and
she says “Wonderful as usual”.
"Just a quick note to say how thrilled I am that I
found my long time favorite bath oil on the Source
Vital website! I purchased several bottles a few
years ago through a bodywork professional when I
lived in Houston, and hove not come across the
products since moving to southern California. I use
the detox bath oil on sore shoulder muscles and
whenever I use it I receive many compliments about
the rich aroma.
Your site was easy to find through Google and
navigation/ordering was also a breeze. Next time I'm
in Houston, I'll stop by the spa for some pampering.
I placed an order today and look forward to
receiving a belated Christmas present... from me, to
me." :) "
Regards,
Colette P. F. "It was wonderful and relaxing- just what I wanted
and needed. I will be coming to Sanctuary again and
will recommend others there as well". Angel H.-- Houston "Brea:
Shannon emotionally connects with you through her
wonderful hands. She consistently restores my energy
through her special gift. I will absolutely be
seeing her again. I consistently refer her to
friends and anyone to Sanctuary Spa." Elena S.-- Houston "I don't know if your daughter gave you my message,
but I am feeling much better these days. I'm down to
only small rash areas on my skin which is a HUGE
improvement. The big test, however, came yesterday
when I had my hair colored. I used to dread it
because the application of color on my scalp burned
and really hurt. My hairdresser said that the
breakouts on my scalp were noticeably less. It
didn't hurt at all. Thank you for your support of me
and for taking the time to work with me to get this
condition improved. I know that I'm not "healed"
but, I don't hate my skin. I'll keep up with my
supplements unless you tell me otherwise. Regards," Julie K.-- Houston "Dear Brea:
I love getting your email updates. However, I live
in Santa Fe, NM during the summer.
I pop in and out of Houston during that time and
regret not having the time to book appointments. I
am so glad to know of the Sanctuary Spa. I will be
in Houston quite a bit in November...I plan to book
something then. Also, I return to Houston for
several months beginning in January. Keep sending
those emails........Warmest regards," Susan "Just had a facial done at [popular spa] in New
York, and have to say THEY DID NOT measure up to
Brea's facials AT ALL. I have received facials all
over the country and Brea's has been THE best facial
so far!!" Mimi A. "Dear Brea & company,
Thanks very much for the very fast service. I placed
my order and it seemed as if I received the package
the very next day and on Christmas eve, no less. I'm
impressed! Thanks again, and Happy New Year!" Terri C.-- Houston, after ordering a Gift
Certificate online "Since our move to Kingwood, two years ago, I have
not been to see you and now we have moved even
farther away. Even though it's been a long time, I
still remember the times I came to see you. I was in
a deep clinical depression at the time and your
treatments helped me in a way that therapy or
medication couldn't. I thank you for that. Also, I
thank you for the birthday postcard..." S.S.-- Dallas, TX "Monday I came to your spa for a wonderful first
visit. My technician was great as I had the Kombu
Blankett, which was recommended to me... thank you
so much." Deborah-- Houston "My husband is very picky as you know. He said that
Kristen is the best Massage Therapist he has ever
had!" L. Goldberg-- Houston "Just a quick note to say super thank you for
extending the gift certificate.
Is it any wonder why I love to come to Brea's? Kind,
friendly folks who
try to please the client. Thanks so much for your
kindness." Sandra-- Houston "Thank you for introducing me to your wonderful
spa. I will return and bring others soon! Your staff
of professionals are the BEST. I truly enjoyed this
experience. Thanks Again!!" L. Moss-- Houston "You give the best bikini wax. It's not as painful
as other places..." J. Pearson-- Houston "I can't talk or move. I've had facials all over the
world and never one so fabulous as this. It is an
experience!" J. Flint-- Malaysia "The best Facial - period!" T. Gagliano-- Houston "Your recommendation on diet and nutrition has made
such a difference in my daughters skin (age 14).
Thank you." P. Ramsey-- Houston "Hello Brea and everyone...
miss coming in and visiting. I haven't been back to
Houston yet. When I do I will have to check out your
new digs. So far all of my 'work' is holding up and
whenever I watch movies with people with moles on
their face I think- they must see Brea !!! and I am
so glad that I did! Brea- Thank You!!! I love my
mole-less face very very much! Hope you all are
having a good summer despite the heat wave. Love and
Peace..." Heather-- Los Angeles, California "Brea,
You run an amazing place. We drove all the way from
Ft. Worth and she flew in from Ohio just to have
your facials. Seriously, that's the only reason we
drove to Houston. There are plenty of places in Ft.
Worth and Dallas, but nothing like what you do
there. Last year we did this (we found you on the
internet) and each of us had different estheticians
than we had this time. They are all great! Thank
you." Alaine S.-- Fort Worth, Texas "I was 'Cured'--I was so 'Cured.' We'll be back more
than once next year!" Rhonda S.-- Upper Sandusky, Ohio (Rhonda had the
"Cure Facial") "Brea: Just wanted to give you a quick update. The
diet is going very well. My skin is looking better
and finally not so dry. I actually feel much better
too. Thanks for all your information. Debra N.-- Houston |
