Serna has seen how clients who incorporate spa visits into their routines often experience improvements in stress levels, energy and overall mood. The benefits go beyond relaxation, including:
- Improved sleep
- Pain relief
- Enhanced circulation
- Better skin health
- Dietary detoxification
- Immune system support
“Selfcare is not taboo anymore,” Serna said. “I think people are understanding that it's important for them to integrate it into their daily lives.”
Once considered a luxury for those with disposable income, spa visits are now accessible to a much broader audience. Another shift in the industry is the increasing number of male clients seeking wellness treatments.
“I've seen a huge uptick in the amount of male clients that are coming in for services. Not just massages but facials as well,” Serna said.
Selfcare isn't just something Serna advocates for—it's a practice she lives by. After struggling with skin allergies and depression, she discovered the transformative power of consistent wellness routines.
"I have a lot of environmental allergies, which is why I became so interested in skincare. It was great to experiment on myself by focusing on what I was ingesting and how often I exercised,” Serna said. “I was also depressed before I found that changing my diet and exercise routine helped. It was a big experiment, and it took a lot of commitment."
In addition to a consistent wellness routine, Serna stresses the importance of proper hydration. She says it not only promotes skin health, but also helps reduce headaches and increase mood.
At Halina Spa, the goal is to help clients incorporate wellness into their lives in a sustainable way. Many clients have built lasting relationships with their estheticians, returning regularly to maintain results and improve their quality of life.
“A lot of our clients have been coming since Halina Spa was founded in 1970,” Serna said. “We also have a couple of estheticians who have been around for 30 plus years. They’ve been seeing these clients for a long time, and the clients look amazing.”
The tranquil, intimate atmosphere at Halina Spa is a testament to its commitment to personalized care.
“We're not a high volume spa. Clients get one-on-one personalized treatment and care. We're very relaxed; we're luxurious; we take time with clients; it's very comfortable; it's not loud,” Serna said. “One of the things that our clients always remark about is how pampered they feel here.”
Whether for skin health, stress relief or emotional wellbeing, maintaining a consistent spa routine is a powerful way to invest in your mind, body and soul. Regular visits promote a holistic sense of wellbeing, creating lasting physical and mental benefits that extend far beyond the treatment room.
