Review of Mohonk Mountain House (New Paltz, NY) Part 3
In this post, I'll tell you about the spa treatment I had at The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House.
Spa Treatments:
The Spa at Mohonk Mountain House is a full-service spa and salon featuring massage, body treatments, skin care, hair styling and nail treatments. Many of the treatments go beyond basic, making use of indigenous ingredients offered by highly trained practitioners. Teens, gentlemen and couples have their own treatment menu, as do the 6 to 15 age group (services are performed in the salon only).
Private meditation instruction for one or two can help you alleviate stress, lower blood pressure and promote general well being. Dr. Nina Smiley, co-author of The Three Minute Meditator, is also available for private meditation sessions.
Created in honor of the 140th Anniversary Celebration, the Signature Elements of Nature – Indigo Herbal Poultice Massage (80 minutes, $186.90) is a keeper that will remain on the menu even after the celebration ends. As described in the treatment menu:
“This powerful, deeply soothing treatment is ideal for those who are looking for immediate relief from the stresses of modern life. This new treatment is inspired by the Indigo plant grown locally, and features a steamed Indigo Herbal Poultice (muslin pouch) to ease tension, loosen sore muscles and increase circulation. A combination of Royal Thai Massage, acupressure, aromatherapy, and herbal heat detoxify the body and provide an overall sense of well-being. Our Guided Power Nap ends the experience, leaving you refreshed and renewed. An elixir of the day and a special gift conclude your session. “
The indigo poultice is filled with wild herbs and spices. It’s a warm stone massage minus the stones; the herbal pouch is more flexible and aromatic than stones but equally soothing. Techniques from The Three Minute Meditator inspire the guided power nap. As the treatment ends and your therapist settles you into a comfortable chair in one of the relaxation rooms, you’re served grapes and a refreshing elixir – how does Pomegranate and Acai Berry antioxidant fruit extract from Pure Inventions sound?
Learning how this uniquely Mohonk treatment was inspired from Spa Director Barbara Stirewalt was a real treat. The leaves of the Indigo plant, found locally on the Mohonk preserve, yield the distinctive blue dye that was commonly used in denim before synthetic dyes were invented. In this treatment, indigo supplies the dye for the muslin pouch.
For a treatment that brings the outdoors in, literally, try the Signature Elements of Nature – “Shawangunk Grit” Mineral Body Treatment. Your skin is gently exfoliated with the resorts signature “Shawangunk Grit”, quartz minerals that were excavated from the conglomerate rock found on the property, finely ground and applied to the skin.
An 18% gratuity is added to all spa treatments.
