“Don’t make things too complicated. Try to relax, enjoy every moment, get used to everything.” – Angelique Kerber

This is easier said than done when it comes to our lives. Our lives are filled with many unplanned interruptions so it’s hard to find time to relax and get away from the stress of every day life. With that said, if you have the time coming up to get away and take time for yourself, then we suggest you look up our B and B in Healdsburg. The Camellia Inn B and B in Healdsburg is surrounded by an assortment of events coming up that will lend itself to you and your desire to enjoy the moment and have a relaxing time.

“Room Service”

B and B in Healdsburg

If you are a lover of a good show, then our B and B in Healdsburg has an option for you to enjoy. “Room Service” is a way to let go of the rigors of everyday life. You can get swept away to the year of 1937, where a nimble-witted producer, living on credit with several actors in a Broadway hotel, stumbles onto a great script with an angel that has $15,000 to invest! But when the angel wants to back out, the producer eludes the reluctant angel, outwits creditors, and manages to produce his play in spite of unexpected obstacles in this classic screwball comedy. It’s a great play that will have an Opening Night filled with Bubbly. On Sunday, there will be a post show Discussion. Join them for opening night of any production and stay afterward for a celebratory toast to the cast and crew! Immediately following all Sunday matinees, members of the cast and crew will return to the stage to answer your questions. This event will last until February 10th. But you should book it now because tickets will sell out rapidly. Head over to this website to learn more and to buy tickets. https://www.raventheater.org/

Russian River

Love canoeing? The Russian River offers lots of canoeing opportunities.

In addition do not to forget the Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach along the very Russian river.

Relax at Johnson’s Beach

You, the Holidays and the Camellia Inn Healdsburg Ca Spa

“Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” –Hermann Hesse

Healdsburg Ca Spa

Hermann Hesse is totally correct with this quote. We all need to identify and retreat to a place that’ll help us start again during the stress of life. With Christmas day only 3 weeks away, there’s no better time than now to take a little time for yourself. There are so many stresses that are swirling around all of us right now, so we highly suggest you find a way to book a Healdsburg Ca Spa day with us at the Camellia Inn Bed and Breakfast. Let’s be honest, everyone needs to decompress from the inevitable Holiday stress. A massage or spa package might be helpful to you so that you can be present and enjoy life during this crazy time. Our Healdsburg Ca Spa has many options for you so that you can decompress from the rigors of the season.

Reiki

One of our most popular Healdsburg Ca Spa options that is available to you is a Reiki massage. Reiki is based on the idea that a life force energy flows through us, and that there are fluctuations in this energy that affect our physical health, according to the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). Our licensed therapists will give you a very light hands-on touch or will hold his or her hands close to your body, while moving the hands systematically through different positions, with the intention of discharging negative energy and replacing it with positive energy. This is a 60-minute treatment.

Swedish

Our next Healdsburg Ca Spa treatment that is available to you at the Camellia Inn is a relaxing Swedish massage. This is offered to individuals or couples for a sixty-minute duration or for ninety minutes. The Swedish massage is our most popular, and it’s the best place to start if you haven’t had a massage before. During this session, our massage therapists will work with the soft tissues and muscles in the body to help restore balance and health. At the end of this Healdsburg Ca spa massage, all the muscles in your body will be relaxed and any pain and tension that may exist, will be released.

Deep Tissue Massage

Another one of the Camellia Inn Healdsburg Ca Spa massage treatments is a Deep Tissue Massage. This is also a 60 or 90-minute treatment and is also offered to individuals or couples.

The Camellia Inn Spa and You

“Before becoming a mom, I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now, those days are far and between. So, when I have an hour, it’s all about the mani and pedi.” — Tia Mowry

We totally get where the actress Tia is coming from. Our days and nights, especially during the Holiday season are filled with so much heavy life stuff. The rain is finally here, the holiday shopping has commenced, and our children are grinding out the last few weeks before the Winter Break. With that said, it’s so important to find ways for all of you, not just our wonderful mothers, to relieve these stresses. You can plan a quick spa hour, day or weekend with us at the Camellia Inn or any other place that’ll give you that time away from everyday life that we all need and cherish. Below is a little summary of what our Spa treatments look like. We know you’ll find one that suits you.

Specials and Packages

Spa

Types of Spa Treatments

Camellia Signature Spa Treatment

We can’t offer a massage at our Healdsburg Spa without a signature treatment. Our Camellia Signature massage is a relaxing Swedish Massage. This signature massage is done by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction so that blood can return to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension. How can you go wrong with this!

Deep Tissue Spa Massage

One more Healdsburg Spa treatment that we have is a Deep Tissue massage. Deep tissue massage works layer by layer through connective tissue and muscles down to the deepest accessible layers to change posture and create freedom of movement by releasing fascial adhesions and chronic muscle contracture. Deep tissue massage therapists use their fingers, thumbs, fists, forearms and elbows to stretch each muscle and fascia layer. It sounds amazing just writing about our deep tissue massage.

Master’s Spa Massage

Another fantastic treatment we offer at our Healdsburg Spa is a Master’s massage. With this treatment, you’ll consult with one of our senior therapists who is trained in many modalities. Our therapist will cater a treatment specifically catered to your body’s needs utilizing many techniques for your ultimate stress relief and relaxation.

Thanksgiving Spa Getaway at the Camellia Inn

“Julia taught me what it takes to find your way in the world. It’s not what I thought it was. I thought it was all about…I don’t know, confidence or will or luck. Those are all some good things to have, no question. But there’s something else, something that these things grow out of. It’s joy.” — Julie Powell

Have any of you watched the movie Julie and Julia? If you haven’t watched this classic from Nora Ephron, we highly suggest you watch it. If you have seen it than you can understand how rewarding cooking is, but you also understand how stressful it can be. Now, take that stress of cooking and add it to the Holiday season. Oh, my goodness, it feels like you just want to click your heals together like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and say, ‘There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”  We don’t want to stress you out any more than you have too when you think about the Holiday season. But, Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away and there’s a lot of cooking, traveling and preparations to be done. With that said, we suggest, coming to our Spa at the Camellia Inn before you begin your preparations. We have many spa options to help get you through this Holiday whirlwind.
