Calm Before The Storm @TayRiverMediSpa Pre-Holiday Season #SpaDay

Wouldn't you love a chance to relax and chill before the winter cold comes and the holiday rush begins?

Maybe take a hike on a beautiful trail, relax in outdoor hot tubs, or enjoy a tea and conversation with a good friend in a lounge overlooking beautiful scenery.

Sounds good doesn't it! A little calm before the storm of the holiday rush. That's exactly what an AQUA pass allows you to do at the Tay River Reflections Medispa. 

That and access to their Train N Transform Fitness Centre.  

Or if you're looking for the full pampered treatment be sure to include one of the many spa treatments and services offered as well.  

I did some thinking out loud about my Spa Day and all a Tay River Reflections experience has to offer. I think you'll be surprised at the range of services and treatments available, including but not limited to what I like to call the "space pod". 

So in the spirit of giving, I'm giving myself permission to indulge in a "Pre-Holiday Season" Spa Day with my friend Dawn from Duelling Designs. We'll spend the day at Tay River Reflections attempting to clear the mental clutter before the serious business of holiday planning begins. 

You can find Tay River Reflections on twitter and facebook as well.

Yep, just me Cathy thinking out loud about clearing the mental clutter and a spa day.

Note: I received 2 passes to the Tay River Reflections MediSpa AQUA for the purposes of this post. All opinions are my own and reflect my personal experience with the brand or product.

A-U-M ... #GetYourZenOn at @TayRiverMediSpa

Ever Feel Like You Just Need to Get Your Zen On?

I have to admit the last couple of weeks have been hectic, filled with appointments, obligations, unexpected car breakdowns, and life. The snow is gone and the sun is out and all I want to do is block out all the busy life stuff and have a day to relax and do what I refer to as "Getting My Zen On".

On my recent visit to Tay River Reflections MediSpa, I found it to be a perfect location to rejuvenate with some pampering and relaxation. 

A-U-M ... 
Feel the stress and tension leave your mind and body as you enjoy the warm water of the hot tubs.

A-U-M ...
There goes more stress and tension as you become one with nature on the Tay River Trails .

I think you get the picture.

A perfect place to #GetYourZenOn

Tay River Reflections MediSpa & AQUA thinks we should all have a chance to recharge in a Zen-like atmosphere, and they have been kind enough to offer one lucky Ontario reader and guest a chance to spend a day enjoying their walking trails, AQUA and fitness facilities.

Because "I'm Worth It!" #SpaDay at @TayRiverMediSpa #TayRiverReflections

"We are thrilled to invite you and a guest to our exclusive media event for the launch of  

Tay River Aqua!"

Well I'm pretty darn thrilled to be invited! 

So off my friend Elaine and I went for a much overdue and needed Spa Day.

(We each have 2 teen boys. Need I say more? I think not!)

You'll find the Tay River Reflections AQUA & MediSpa nestled on 260 acres just outside the town of Perth (about a 45 minute drive west of Ottawa), making it perfect for a day trip, or combined with a stay at one of the boutique hotels in the area a perfect weekend getaway.

We spent the day enjoying all Tay River has to offer including the newly opened outdoor AQUA facility, the gym and fitness centre, and a mini spa treatment at the established Tay River Reflections Spa. After a quick tour and lunch served in the lounge overlooking the hot tubs, gazebos and beautiful grounds, I was off to the spa to see Rhiannon for a mini facial which I highly recommend. Elaine relaxed in the hot tub until it was time for her mini relaxation massage. The Tay River MediSpa offers an array of spa services and medical esthetic treatments, including what I refer to as the "Spa-ce Pod" which is actually for Oxy LED treatments. 

The Train N' Transform Gym and fitness centre is impressive and includes an indoor track, and total body vibration machines! It was nice to see a wide range of ages from college students to seniors in the gym and classes. Clearly there is something to suit everyone's needs. Personal trainers are available by appointment, as well as 140 classes per month to suit every fitness level. I found the Membership prices very reasonable, and think it would be great for those with cottages in the area. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying coffee and tea in the lounge, and chatting with Tay River Reflections founder Dr. Manuela Joannou and the Marketing Director Tyrell McKirdy about their facilities and future plans to convert the loft into a conference room. 

It was a wonderful relaxing way to spent time with a good friend. The staff was friendly and professional, the spa treatments a dream, and the surroundings beautiful. They even have wifi, which is important to us blogger types. I know I'll be back soon! because as the saying goes ..."I'm Worth It!"

Mother's Day is just around the corner and a spa day sounds like the perfect gift...hint hint teen boys!

For more information about the services and packages available be sure to take a look at the Tay River Reflections Medical Spa site and Tay River Reflections on facebook.

Yep, just me Cathy thinking out loud about spa days.

Note: As an invited guest of  Tay River Reflections AQUA I enjoyed the facilities for a day and a mini spa treatment free of charge. The purpose of this post is merely to share my experience with my readers. All opinions are my own and reflect my personal experience.
