There’s a new day spa in Orange County, and this is no ordinary spa. Hylunia Wellness Day Spa offers not just beauty treatments but a taste of Bali.   The spa’s beautiful fixtures were all imported from Bali and designed to create a sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life.  Believe me, you’ll want to turn off your cell phone, pagers and all your  worries and mentally & physically check into Hylunia Wellness Day Spa.   Your treatment begins with a virtual journey to Bali where you start relaxing by imaging yourself on the beach, breathing deep and feeling the stress leave your body. You are put into a relaxation room, given a pair of 3-D glasses while you watch images of  Bali float by.  Unlike other spas, Hylunia Wellness Day Spa prepares you for your treatment by getting you relaxed before you ever enter the therapy room.

Get clients relaxed a ready to mentally escape is a novel approach, but this is the Hylunia methodology.  I had the pleasure of visiting the spa last week for a unique facial, and I can tell you taking those 10 minutes before the facial to really mentally shut  everything out and just relax really works.   The “journey to Bali” is a brilliant part of  Hylunia’s restorative philosophy of taking a “holistic” approach to mind and body therapy.  After all, how can you really enjoy any massage or facial if you haven’t freed your mind of anxiety before you begin?

After taking the virtual journey, each guest begins the Hylunia Spa experience.   My facial included a foot massage and some deep breathing with aromatherapy oils before the actual treatment began.  After that, the facialist examines your skin under bright lights to diagnose what type of product should be used on the skin.   Each facial is tweaked to the customer’s specific skincare needs based on hydration, amount of inflammation, blemishes and the condition of the skin.   An added bonus of each treatment is the use of Hylunia’s specially formulated products.

Hylunia age defying

Hylunia’s line of Age Defying Skincare Products.

Hylunia’s line of organic, vegan, gluten free & cruelty free skincare products has been around since 1988–way before there was Whole Foods or the Honest Company–Hylunia was making skincare free of toxins.  All the products are paraben, fragrance and phosphate free.   The line was originally developed to be gentle enough to use on babies.

After my facial, my skin was literally glowing.   The facialist use Hylunia’s Vitamin C Age Defying Beyond C Complex on my skin and my favorite product for Hydration and the ultimate moisturizer, Hylunia’s Hyaluronic Acid.  The facialist had a very light touch and really massaged the facial area to improve circulation.  After experiencing this treatment, I can highly recommend it as not only a wonderful facial but a relaxing experience.  During the facial, you also get a massage or your feet, hands, neck and arms.

If you’re in Orange County or Southern California, check out Hylunia Wellness Day Spa.   The spa offers a unique and relaxing environment as well as special classes for clients.  Designed with an eye toward the individual’s total wellness, Hylunia offers meditation, facials, body wraps, medical aesthetic services, detoxification, aromatherapy, and weight management programs.  There are also Yoga classes and cooking classes.  Other services include: Custom Massages, Chakra Balancing Massages, Stress Relief and FIRE Therapy, Shirodhara Ritual Massage, Pre- and Post-Natal Massage, Massage Pour Deaux and Hot Stone Massage.  The staff at Hylunia is beyond welcoming, they are nurturing.  You really feel pampered during your time there.

Disclosure: I was given a free spa treatment by Hylunia Spa so that I could review their services.  I was also compensated to host an event at the spa.  However, the experiences in this review are authentic as are my feelings about Hylunia products and services.  I would never recommend something to my readers that I did not feel was valuable.
