As always, I had a relaxing massage and experience at Woodhouse. The Himalayan Hot Stone 80 Min massage is my favorite and my masseuse Luz was very skilled and knew exactly how and when to incorporate the hot stones. I highly recommend Luz and the Himalayan Hot Stone 80 Min.

The service providers and staff - 5 stars. Staff were all lovely, no complaints.
Woodhouse’s booking and payment system - 1 star. From a cumbersome online booking experience so confusing I had to call the spa to walk me through it (including booking my appointments with me on the phone), to a checkout where I was quoted a total almost $200 over what I was advertised online - and the front desk staff had to talk to the manager to both get permission to correct and instructions how to make said corrections in the system - this has to be one of the worst booking systems I’ve ever experienced.
What made it even more frustrating was that from the time I made my booking on the phone to the time I checked out, the massage style I booked was somehow changed - during the massage I just assumed the masseuse had a different style than what I was used to; nope, it was an entirely different style than what I’d booked! Not sure if that was human or system error.

Luz was my massuce. I was explaining to her that I had a bad fall a month ago and all though nothing was broken I've been extremely sore. I asked for a swedish massage with light pressure just to get my blood moving around. She listened to what I needed and gave me the most amazing massage I've ever had. When I left my body felt so much better. I will be rebooking with her again very shortly. The staff at the front desk was also very kind and the Spa itself was very clean and relaxing. It was a wonderful experience.

Had an awful experience. Booked a couples massage. They cancelled it and booked us separate massages for completely different days without letting us know the date. They just found another couple and bumped them up instead of giving us the priority. Poor communication poor service. We had arranged childcare for the particular day. They don’t care about clients. I will never recommend this horrible place to anyone. Massages should be stress free. These people will give you stress. Terrible service. Reeks of entitlement, racism, bad communication and discrimination.

This place is a hidden gem! I used to go to a spa/massage place closer to my home, but came across this place while searching for a Spa day with my Boss for employee appreciation. They definitely know what they're doing there. They made the whole experience a day I will never forget. We started out with getting changed into our robes and sandals. (Sandals aren't that comfy, luckily I brought my slippers) we got water from the hospitality station and went straight into the sauna. From there, we had a 80 minute massage of my choice. The massage therapist worked her magic and was amazing at pressure. I'm sensitive in a couple areas and she took note and aced it. After that, had a minute to go back to hospitality and had a multiple choice of tea (I chose raspberry nector 👌) and some mixed nuts to hold me over the next 3 minutes of waiting for my next treatment. Then, went to a quiet room to soak in a tub where it was so serene and peaceful. They even had little snacks to enjoy while in the tub. After that, went back to hospitality station for a couple minutes then was brought back for a nourishing wrap (my skin is so soft now thanks to them). After that, we were taken into a private room to have lunch, provided by Woodhouse. After lunch, we were taken back for our facials. The facials were phenomenal. The whole experience was phenomenal and I will be back! A whole day at the spa and treated with kindness and professionalism and care. Thank you again for this amazing experience! 10 out of 5!

Sauna Contraindications
Individuals using prescription medications (such as diuretics, barbiturates, beta-blockers, or antihistamines) should consult their doctor before using the sauna, as certain medications can affect the body’s ability to regulate heat. Children require pediatric approval, and older adults should use caution due to decreased temperature-regulation abilities. Those with cardiovascular conditions, including high or low blood pressure, congestive heart failure, or impaired circulation, should seek medical clearance since heat exposure can significantly increase heart rate. The sauna should not be used after consuming alcohol or by individuals with conditions that impair sweating, such as Multiple Sclerosis, central nervous system tumors, or diabetic neuropathy. Anyone prone to bleeding, including hemophiliacs, should avoid use, and individuals with a fever or heat insensitivity should not enter the sauna. Pregnant individuals must consult a physician, and those menstruating may experience increased flow and should participate based on personal comfort. The sauna should also be avoided on acute injuries within the first 48 hours or when swelling, heat, or infection is present. Individuals with metal or silicone implants should consult their surgeon before use and discontinue if any discomfort occurs.
Red Light Booth Contraindications
Individuals should avoid using the Red Light Booth if they have diseases involving the retina, such as diabetic retinopathy, or if they are taking photosensitizing medications including lithium, melatonin, phenothiazines, antipsychotics, or certain antibiotics. The booth should not be used during pregnancy, by individuals with epilepsy, or by those currently taking cortisone injections or steroids. Red Light Therapy should not be applied directly over the thyroid in certain thyroid conditions, and it should not be used on areas with active bleeding or hemorrhage due to the increased circulation response. Halotherapy is also not recommended for individuals with tuberculosis, fever, contagious conditions, severe heart disorders, cancer, advanced pregnancy, or during an acute respiratory attack. Salt therapy is not a substitute for medical care, and individuals should always consult their healthcare provider with any concerns.
Spa Discounts and Promotions
To ensure fairness and consistency for all guests, discounts, promotional offers, and discounted gift certificates cannot be combined.
When a gift certificate is purchased at a discounted price, it cannot be applied toward a discounted service or combined with any additional promotions. These gift certificates are intended to be redeemed at standard service and product rates.
