Basalt is a volcanic stone formed from cooled volcanic lava, weathered and tumbled by the ocean to become silky smooth. Now used in the new Hot Springs Stone Massage at Glen Ivy, these basalt stones give strength to the name of this healing therapy.
“Having formed in extreme heat from volcanoes, basalt stones are able to hold warmth evenly for a long period of time, thus creating a more relaxing and soothing massage experience that is safer for guests and our massage therapists,” says Glen Ivy Hot Springs Assistant Spa Director Tara Thompson.
As a commitment to the greater health and wellbeing of guests and employees, Glen Ivy is dedicated to providing continuing education and training for all levels of employees to better serve guests.
“At Glen Ivy we’re proud to offer unique treatment experiences provided by a team of caring, skilled and knowledgeable service providers. With the launch of using these new stones, every Glen Ivy Massage Therapist has gone through continuing education with Assistant Spa Director Tara Thompson who is a NCBTMB certified Massage Therapy Instructor,” says Danny Silva, Glen Ivy Hot Springs Executive Spa Director.
It is our pleasure to serve you and we hope that when you visit Glen Ivy next, you’ll try the new Hot Springs Stone Massage. We are always looking for ways to provide you with a more memorable, meaningful and enjoyable day and thank you for your support.

Imagine floating in a warm pool of chest deep water. You are being held, floated, gently stretched, and massaged. You move with the rhythm of your breath as the warm water allows you to open to deeper states of relaxation. Your tension melts, stress reduces, and pain is released. What are you experiencing? A Watsu® Massage.
Watsu® (or Water Shiatsu) is a form of water hydrotherapy massage which integrates the healing qualities of water with stretches, acupressure, and cranio-sacral manipulation. Each session is not only a massage, but a profound experience that promotes healing “shifts” on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
While in the water, your body is able to move in ways that are impossible on land. This deeply relaxing and healing treatments is offered at Glen Ivy Hot Springs and is performed by two of our specially trained Watsu® practitioners, Carla and Lori. Today they shared their journey into the world of Watsu® and why it’s such a unique experience that everyone should try:
Lori: “I originally got into massage after I had met three amazing massage therapists and energy workers who came in and worked with my daughter and other kids at CHOC Hospital while she
was undergoing treatment for leukemia. I could see the positive difference in the way their pain was eased, moods uplifted, and in general as it helped them to relax.
It impacted and touched me so deeply that after my daughter’s passing, I decided I wanted to give back; so I went to massage school and have continued to study many different forms of bodywork including yoga and natural health practices, and have also gone on to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach. I am now in my 19th year of doing massage therapy.
A few years after I had been doing massage, I was working at a place that rented videos of different styles of bodywork and I saw this video called “Watsu®” and I thought “What is that?” I took it home and watched it and my heart started racing and tears flowed down my face and I just knew I HAD to practice this!
The first time I experienced Watsu®, when I finally opened my eyes after an hour and a half session, my Mom had tears flowing down her face and she said she had never seen me so relaxed and beautiful. I felt like I had been reborn. I was so relaxed and at peace. I went for my training six months after and it is the most amazing bodywork I have even encountered. It is so healing and transformative.”
Carla: “I have been a massage therapist for eleven years now. When Watsu® was brought into our Glen Ivy Hot Springs location I immediately tried it out. It was so heavenly and amazing that I was researching that very same night where I could go to study it. I wanted to be able to help people achieve the profound sense of relaxation and joy that my Watsu® experience had given me. Now I am a Watsu® practitioner here at Glen Ivy Hot Springs and going on my second season. I love seeing the look on people’s faces after their sessions and I am moved by how much they benefit from a session.
The healing qualities of the warm water seem to magnify the benefits of body work. Each session is a unique experience tailored to what your practitioner senses in your body that day.
I hope more people will take advantage of the wonderful healing on both the physical and emotional levels that Watsu® can offer.”
Here is what guests are saying about their Watsu® experiences:
“The most profound massage I have ever had the joy to experience. I don’t have the words to express–colors are brighter, the air is sweeter. Thank you.” K.S
“This was the most unique massage experience. It was instantly relaxing and comforting. I was transported to another world that is filled with love and joy. I will definitely do Watsu® again! It was so enjoyable. Amazing! Thank you so much.” E.S
“Carla, you make this treatment beautiful. Thank you!.” J.T

Skin Scanning using the Ultra Modern Reveal Imager
Now available at Glen Ivy Spa, Valencia
SPECIAL: Free with any full length spa treatment (50 min or more) through May 31, 2011. Call 888-GLEN IVY to reserve. Based on availability.
This imager uses polarized light to take pictures of multiple layers of the skins’ epidermis, thus creating a blueprint of the topical view of the skin. These images can then be used to detect sun-damage, dehydration or hyper pigmentation that needs special attention. Our trained estheticians can then help develop a skin care program to best suit your skin’s condition.
Your esthetician may also use the skin scan images taken over a period of time to document the progress of your skin care treatments, showing how skin conditions have improved or changed.
NEW Clarisonic Brush Head Available
in Glen Ivy Spa Lifestyle Store, Valencia
Sonic skin cleansing improves skin tone, reduces the appearance of pore size and helps skin care products work their best.
The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth skin. In just 60 seconds, the micro-massage action removes 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone. Removing more dirt and oil from your pores also helps products work more effectively.
NEW! With the same powerful cleansing ability as the other brush heads, the new design of the Deep Pore Cleansing Brush Head is able to target those hard to reach areas of the face thanks to dual action inner rings that move with skin for optimal results. Compatible with the PRO Skin Cleansing System, also available in store. Clarisonic cleansing brushes are used in all facial treatments at Glen Ivy Spa, Valencia.
Which brush head is right for your skin type?
Normal: Perfect for normal skin, shaving prep and for use on the décolleté and body.
Sensitive: An easy introduction for sensitive to normal skin types.
Delicate: Ultra-gentle for those with delicate or extra-sensitive skin.
Deep Pore Cleansing: Ideal for cleansing oily skin, large pores or hard to reach areas of the face, like the crevassas around the nose. Gentle enough for daily use.
Body: For cleansing areas of the body needing extra care and attention, including the décolleté, hands, arms, elbows and feet. Works with Clarisonic PLUS and PRO models.

The collection is inspired by the new film “Burlesque” featuring Christina Aguilera and Cher and is set to release this Thanksgiving. With leading ladies like these, the colors in the collection are nothing less than fabulous!
Take “Tease-y Does It” for instance. The tiny specs of gold dust gave my nails the right amount of sparkle to make me feel like a star! My personal favorite though, “Bring 
On the Bling!” With this gold glitter polish, who needs accessories!? Not only will it match that perfect New Year’s Eve dress but you, and your nails, won’t go unnoticed!
First things first–you can’t have the perfect polish without perfect nails. Also debuting this season are some amazing nail treatments dedicated to this time of year. Our leading lady at the Hot Springs is our Harvest Glow Pedicure and it’s sure to put a little color back into those cold toes of yours. Taking center stage at our Day Spa Brea and Valencia is the Pumpkin Spice Delight. It’s a manicure and pedicure combo that will have you ready to show off those nails in no time at all! So treat those toesies and make sure to pick up a bottle or two from the Burlesque Collection (available at all locations) for yourself of even as gifts for your favorite ladies!
