Ashely Craniosacral Therapy....Unbelievable! Since moving to Vancouver in 2018, I frequently visit Halsa to partake in Ashley’s Craniosacral work. Her magical touch creates an ecosystem of deep relaxation, release and euphoric energy. I can not speak highly enough of the incredible work Ashley has cultivated through her practice and how it has aided me in not only processing and becoming more present with grief, uncertainty and now onwards to motivation! Also, Halsa provides an atmosphere in resemblance of a heavenly retreat in the heart of Kitsilano! Make sure you provide ample time to enjoy their tasty teas, unique collections of books and cozy couches after a Craniosacral session with Ashley!

Nestled in Sinclair Canyon, Radium Hot Springs, located in British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park, includes a hot soaking pool and cooler swimming pool. Whether you are visiting the local golf courses, skiing, snowboarding, or just passing through, the Radium Hot Springs are not to be missed! Radium Hot Springs’ mineral water is uniquely odourless and clear, making this the perfect place for a relaxing soak. Gaze up at the rock cliffs see if you can spot one of the bighorn sheep that make this canyon home. The kids will enjoy swimming and diving in the cooler swimming pool (29C). There is so much to enjoy year-round, including nearby hiking and walking trails, picnic areas and all of the amenities of a full-service town. Capacity is limited to ensure 2m physical distancing can be maintained. Reservations are not available. Please wear a mask, arrive prepared to wait outside (wait times may exceed an hour) and visit our website for trip planning and COVID safety information.

We weren’t too sure about Radium Hot Springs and questioned ourselves the whole way, whether we should go here or stop at Fairmont which seemed to be a bit more famous. But we’re so glad we went to Radium! We were worried that it would be run down, but it is very well maintained. There was lots of parking (there are two lots - an overflow lot which, if you’re coming from Radium, shows up first on your left, and the regular lot which then shows up on your right. If you park in the overflow lot there is an underground tunnel to the pools and it is not a far walk). The facility rents everything you could need - towels, swimsuits, whatever. There are lots of lockers and even when it is very busy, you can carve out a bit of space for yourself. There are two pools - a slightly cooler one and the hot one. There is also a small plunge tub - don’t be fooled by the sign that says “hot tub” because it’s a cold plunge! VERY refreshing. The two pools are on opposite sides of the facility and you have to walk through the indoor corridor to go from one to the other. Once we found the cold plunge pool we did not bother with the cooler big pool anymore - it has a diving board and slides and was full of children. The hot pool is very hot - I think 39 degrees Celsius - and feels wonderful. There is a seating area near where the water comes in and it is very pleasant - flowers and picnic tables with a view of the water rushing by. You can sit and soak for as long as you like but right now there is no cafe so be aware that you can’t get food. Also, the lockers are single use only so you can’t get out, go get stuff out of your locker, and lock it back up again. My favourite thing was the view - you are right in the canyon staring up at the rock face. It felt very private and hidden away.

We offer special treatments to relax your body, mind and soul. They facilitate anxiety and stress reduction, so that your body feels nourished and well-rested. We believe in combining today’s science with long-standing practices that have proved their efficiency over the centuries.

Treat yourself to a genuinely unique experience: rejuvenate and revitalize; heal and destress; relax your mind and embrace the lightness in your body

I had my first "Sultan" Turkish Bath experience at the Art of Sauna yesterday. It was a birthday treat for myself and I was so delighted. I usually would only go to get a registered massage RMT- but I wanted to try something different. Alexander did an amazing caring job. It was like a body scrub + massage + wash with foam. He even washed my hair. It was a pampering experience with a very nice bath robe. Also, everything was super clean.
