I'm not a high maintenance girl, but I do strongly believe in self care. Especially as a mom, I think it's so important to carve out time to take care of our bodies! Jacksonville is home to some incredible wellness spots that go beyond the typical gym or spa experience. I’m sharing my top six favorites—places and people that focus on natural healing and balance to help you feel your best, inside and out.
The hard part about wellness is that often requires a big budget. Which is why I love this group acupuncture option. Everyone is sitting quietly in a room so you don't feel disrupted and they offer a sliding scale payment option from $25-$60. You pay what you feel you can afford! The acupuncturist, Ronnie, has a really good energy and he knows what he is doing. I usually go at the end of a pregnancy when I want to induce labor, it works like a charm. They also have a bunch of other services at this facility, check them out.
Sierra - Certified Massage Therapist
Don't feel like going out? She'll come to you! For an incredible rate of $85, enjoy an hour long at home massage with Sierra. Her demeanor is both professional and communicating with her is easy. She comes to me about once a month and we always joke that every time she provides a massage it's an entirely new experience because we focus on different areas each time. She specializes in deep tissue, prenatal, and Swedish massage types.
There's no worrying about feeling shy with giving her direction, she's so good at providing you the exact type of massage you need and adjusting the pressure accordingly. You can text her to book an appointment: (231) 398-7654
If you're unfamiliar, breath-work is a powerful practice that can help reduce stress, improve focus, and promote emotional healing by using conscious breathing techniques to activate the body’s natural relaxation response.
Kyle has a wellness practice right by the beaches that offers guided sessions designed to help you unlock your body’s full potential. Menahem and I went separately, as it's recommended and we both had incredibly good experiences.
Okay this is a really cool one! I only just discovered this now because the gym I used closed down and Menahem and I signed up to the JCA. So while we haven't utilized this service yet, I definitely plan on taking full advantage of this huge benefit that is included with your membership at no extra cost!
How does it work? You schedule a free coaching session and a Wellness Coach determines areas of health improvement for you while also helping you set goals toward a healthier lifestyle. The Wellness Coach will screen your blood pressure, body composition, cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides.
Located right across the Starbucks on Old St Augustine Road, this spa offers a range of rejuvenating wellness services, like red light therapy, cold plunge, steam room, Hammam, sauna, massages, facials and more! So you can grab a coffee or tea and then enjoy a couple of hours of pampering your body, a delicious combination.
Earth Salt Stone in Jacksonville offers a relaxing Himalayan Salt Cave for halotherapy, which promotes respiratory health and overall well-being. You can rent the room with friends for a fun, social experience while benefiting from the calming effects of salt therapy. A bunch of us ladies went recently and had a wonderful time!
They also have a wellness shop which features handmade items and natural products, creating a holistic space for relaxation and healing. They have events too where you can join a drum circle, mediation session and more!
