The Best Colorado Spa Trips for Moms

I've traveled the world, and no matter where I go, I manage to find spas where I can be pampered. I've had facials in Cozumel, full body massages in India and foot massages in Thailand. As wonderful as those experiences are, I don't always have the luxury of leaving the country to get a massage. Lucky for me, and for every other mom in Colorado, there are many excellent day spas where mothers can be pampered without leaving the state. Read on for some of the best spas for women in Colorado.

The Woodhouse Spa offers a variety of facials, including anti-aging facials, microdermabrasion, cleansing facials and organic peels, which are a good alternative to chemical peels. Some of their facials include massage and accupressure. Various types of massage such as hot stone, reflexology, aromatherapy, deep tissue and prenatal relief massage are offered. Aroma bath rituals combine massage and hydrotherapy.

In addition to massage and facials, Woodhouse Spa offers various body, foot and hand treatments and treatments that combine eastern and western therapy techniques.
