Vision Hospitality’s Edwin Hotel recently added the Ama Spa to its autograph collection. “Ama” is the Cherokee word for “going to the waters.” To the Cherokee, going to the waters was a way of cleansing away physical and spiritual elements. Local Lookout Mountain resident Michele Paty was selected to be the spa manager due to her extensive experience in the industry, including upper management in the Ritz Carlton Spa in Sarasota, Fla., a 28,000 square-foot facility known worldwide for its luxurious experience.
Over 15 treatments and a multitude of ad-ons are available at Ama Spa in the Edwin. Many of the treatments are unique to Ama and are not available anywhere else, and with the multiple offerings of add-ons, you can customize a treatment to fit your individual needs.
Deep tissue massage, Lighting Whelk Renewal, and a reflexology foot massage are available treatments, just name a few.
The Whiskey and Wellness treatment is a local favorite. Unique to Ama, the treatment includes a Chattanooga Whiskey infused sugar scrub exfoliation, followed by a sweet orange warming body wrap and a full body custom massage of your choice, along with a collagen infused weeping eye mask.
There are also several facials from which to chose, including: hydrating, brightening, resurfacing and even a gentleman’s facial geared toward men’s unique skin needs.
In addition to any treatment, you can select add-ons, including the guided meditation. This guided reflection experience promotes deep relaxation. Other add-ons include detox body exfoliation, collagen treatments for eyes, lips and hands, LED light therapy and a corrective peel.
The color scheme of the relaxation and treatment rooms are in shades of blue to remind you of the healing power of water.
The waiting relaxation room is a fabulous place to unwind before your treatment. The dressing room and lockers are perfect for the girl on the go who needs to squeeze in a little “me time” between business meetings. There are showers available, as well as a curated selection of complimentary products. Be sure to try Privai’s Sweet Orange Crème cleanser and eye make-up remover. Slip into Ama’s luxurious robes while you wait, and if you forget your glasses, don’t worry – there are extra readers for those who need just a little help in low-lit rooms.
The back lit halite salt brick wall that is absolutely a work of art in itself sets the body’s mode in motion for pure relaxation. (Yes, the bricks composing the wall are made of salt.) The sconces are made from Carnelian stone, which was known as the “Stone of Life” in Ancient Egypt and is known for healing properties that became well known in the western hemisphere with 12th century abbess Hildegard of Bingen.
Michele has hand selected many local items available in the gift shop, as well as a unique selection of products for treatments that are available for purchase as well. Privai’s, SLS-free, botanically infused products are made regionally in Ashville, N.C., by Christina Stratton and Ilana Alberico. The two dynamic female developers, whose mission is to promote natural beauty, find the most effective ingredients that are consciously sourced and support the holistic empowerment of women, donating a portion of the company’s proceeds to Women for Women International. There is a large selection of local Jonesy Wood’s jewelry and Renegade Silver if you need a little bling to accentuate your newly beautifully buffed skin, and don’t forget to check out the wonderfully aromatic lotions from K. Hall Designs.
The Ama Essentials is an express package to pure relaxation when time is not in abundance. Perfect to unwind from a long week at the office and get you ready for the weekend, the package includes a 25-minute foot ritual, a 25-minute relaxation massage, a hydrating aqua facial mask and a 25-minute aromatherapy scalp treatment targeting the head, neck and shoulders. Grab a hostess gift from the well-curated local selections at the gift shop and you are set for the weekend.
Michele and Vision Hospitality want you to know that the Ama Spa is not just for hotel guests. They offer a spa membership for $79 per month. The amenities include a 50-minute service of your choice each month ($135 retail value) as well as 30 percent off additional services, complimentary parking, 10 percent off items in the spa boutique, and discounts on the White Bird Restaurant and at the Provisions store. With that kind of offering, it makes it pretty hard to pass up a day of pampering yourself each month … and with Mother’s Day around the corner, everyone knows that would be the perfect gift for the lady in your life who takes care of you and your loved ones 365 days a year!
What better location to cleanse away the toll of city life than right next to the Tennessee River?
