Recently, I was lucky enough to join Rachel Ruocco and Amber Gaines when they visited the spa to sample the amenities. To say we felt transported is an understatement. I tried the Anti-Gravity Robotic Massage Chair, which can only be described as a massage chair on steroids. Air compression massage, heat, reflexology, zero gravity recline, and endless customization options made my experience the most delightful 20 minutes of my day. Both Rachel and Amber tried the Lymphatic Compression Massage, which detoxifies, restores the body’s natural balance, soothes muscle aches, and enhances a person’s overall THE ADVOCATE
