Portland Spa Utilizes Unique Natural Methods for Relief and Beauty
Stinging Nettles in lieu of Chemical Peels
Sweet Basil to Relieve the Common Cold
Grapefruit extract to Lessen Hyperpigmentation

Portland, Ore. - Nestled in a stylish 1920's Portland bungalow, Spa Willamina heals
some of Portland's top personalities and regular spa goers with unique treatments
very few other world spas employ.
"Willow Light, the owner, is a walking, talking miracle. Her facials go beyond
luxurious and cross into the spiritual," said Portland chanteuse Storm Large. \"Every
time I leave Spa Willamina's calm, temple-like, home spa, I am practically floating
on a euphoric cloud of well being . Willow is truly miraculous."
Top Portland therapists are hired at Spa Willamina and trained to use natural skin
regenerators to heal and rejuvinate damaged skin. For example, Willow Light has
been trained and certified to perform the renowned Green Peel treatment. Instead of
chemicals to peel away the upper epidermal layers of skin, the Green Peel reveals a
more healthy and radiant skin beneath with the simple use of stinging nettles and
other natural products. The Green Peel is used by only a few therapists in the
country given the intensive training process.
The employees of Spa Willamina take a very natural approach to beauty. "We find
that clients are becoming more wary of chemical peels and surgical methods," said
Light. "After 21 years of studying naturopathy, aromatherapy and cosmetology, I
have a special gift for using elements found within nature to heal, relax and
restore."
Parents of teenagers with acne are also shunning chemicals, and western medicines
for healing. "More and more of our clients are bringing in their older children for
our natural treatments,"continued Light.
In addition to the green peel and other natural facials, Spa Willamina offers
various spa packages for long term healing. One of which is the popular Mother-To-
Be package. "Many spas offer prenatal and postnatal massages, but very few offer a
nine month program designed specifcally for the challenges mothers-to-be face.
Utilizing special pillows and oils that are safe for expectant women, Spa Willamina
therapists offer a monthly package to help ease water retention, hyperpigmentation
and stress," said Light.
Moreover, Spa Willamina's seasonal therapies help nourish and revitalize hands and
feet with their treatments designed around the effects of each season. Each
seasonal therapy begins with a warm milk and rose petal soak. "The Autumn Equinox
is a spa favorite," cited Light. "This treatment is designed to ease the suffering
resulting from a cold." Eucalyptus and sweet basil oils are rubbed into your hands
and feet to relieve congestion and other symptoms.
"With all the crazy stress in my life, Spa Willamina is like an oasis, said famed
Portland Chef, Caprial Pence. "You are pampered and nurtured from the moment you
step through the door, and the services make you forget you\'ve ever heard of
stress."
Portland area Spa Willamina is best known as a place of healing and renewal for
clients in a spa reminiscent of a private, in-home retreat. For more information,
