Qui Si Bella Spa The art of relaxing

This is the most memorable experience you can have,” says proud owner Chrys huyan of Qui Si Bella Spa next to Gelson’s market on upper state. A local pillar in the business of relaxation, huyan relies on time-honored techniques from the east, as well as the latest technology from the West to provide the cutting edge in massage, anti-aging, science of life and hot stones.

Qui Si Bella, says huyan, is “Where people come to heal themselves.” She believes everyone needs to take time to shed the stress of life and indulge in peace and relaxation.

one such memorable indulgence is the Hot Stone Massage, where warm basalt stones heat and relax the muscles and are used to massage the entire body; to deeply release tension and promote total relaxation. Another specialty of the spa is the Thai herbal massage, where a steamed poultice (a mixture of over 20 herbs) is steamed and applied to the body. huyan explains that these natural, organic ingredients have been used for centuries in the east to sooth muscles of workers and warriors and to strengthen the immune system.

Qui Si Bella offers couples massages, signature eucalyptus steams and more for what huyan calls “A full mind, body and spirituality experience.”

So, be you worker or warrior, the spa provides relaxation beyond that of your average weekend. “If you go out to a restaurant,” explains huyan, “you might forget what you eat. But at a spa, you find an experience you will never forget.” —Sam
