SPAS CELEBRATE IN BERKELEY SPRINGS

BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV -- More than a dozen spas, shops, cafes and other locations have special offerings as part of Berkeley Springs’ 19th annual Spa Feast on Friday through Sunday, January 23 through 25.

This year the popular event is a moveable feast taking visitors around town to experience everything from $1 healthy soups and less than $1 a minute spa treatments to bargain health books, free individual knitting instruction and free talks on energy healing, healthy food and homeopathic medicine. Discounted specials for the weekend include an aroma-stone massage at Atasia Spa, a facial at the Bath House Day Spa and a half-hour massage at the Country Inn’s Five Senses Spa.

As a bonus, every sampling of products or services at a Spa Feast location entitles attendees to a chance on a long list of prizes including free massages, facials, wraps and other products. “Stop and buy something at a dozen locations and you get a dozen chances to win free prizes,” said Jeanne Mozier, Vice President of the producing Travel Berkeley Springs and the creator of Spa Feast. A Moveable Spa Feast menu is available online and at participating locations.

“ Everyone has a different notion of what a spa feast should be,” said Mozier. “We have special treats for those who think it should include fabulous foods and wines.” Highlawn Inn stages their annual Wine Tasting Weekend with Dr. Wilson Ward of Fisher Ridge Wine Company featuring a wine and cheese reception on Friday and a five-course wine tasting dinner on Saturday. Tari’s Cafe has a multi-course tasting dinner on Friday and Saturday. The Country Inn offers a health lunch special on Saturday while Panorama at the Peak features farm-fresh food including a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals for lunch and dinner all weekend..

Berkeley Springs is no newcomer to the world of spas and health treatments according to Mozier who is a well-regarded historian of Berkeley Springs’ spa history. “Colonial visitors came as early as the 1740s to ‘take the waters’ of the mineral springs for their health,” she says. “Contemporary interest in effective and low cost alternatives for healthy living makes Berkeley Springs the poster child for hot 21st century spa town.”

Among the half dozen spas and treatment locations in the historic spa town are signature services that make the notion of spending a weekend sampling them all a truly mouth-watering adventure. “When George Washington came for his health, he was happy to find a rock-lined outdoor tub to soak in,” says Mozier.
” He would be agog at today’s choices.” Mozier lists among popular favorites cranio-sacral therapy and Russian massage at Awakenings Health Center, couples massage at the Bath House Day Spa and liquid sugar body glow treatment at Atasia Spa.

The most historic spa treatment in town is the centuries-old tradition of taking the waters which happens most authentically in the 1815 Roman Bath House in Berkeley Springs State Park. “We have journal entries and drawings that show people soaking in these same baths for almost two centuries,” she says. “Soaking in the private tubs is the perfect way to start any Spa Feast adventure this weekend.”

A number of spa packages offered by premier lodging places in Berkeley Springs make the weekend’s menu complete. “The Country Inn’s spa package won rave reviews in a recent ‘Washington Post’ article,” says Mozier. The full list of available lodging specials is online at www.berkeleysprings.com.

Spa Feast is the January special weekend of the three-month Winter Festival of the Waters that also features the world-famous Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting in February and George Washington’s Bathtub Celebration in March.
