"Pure ingredients. Pure results." This is the motto of Barbara Close who founded this spa over ten years ago after traveling the world learning a host of healing modalities and searching out the finest ingredients for her own holistic line of remedies and botanical skin care products. To ensure purity, Naturopathica uses plants and flowers from their own farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as other small organic farms around the world. Their shelves are lined with cobalt blue bottles filled with massage oils, shower gels, moisturizers, and homeopathic remedies which are free of synthetics, petroleum products, and artificial dyes and fragrances, using nature's bounty instead. Their facials inspire visions of delicious desserts with black cherry and pumpkin enzymes as well as crème cassis hydrating cream.

Using the highest grade of essential oils, the massages include Relaxing with lavender and lavendin, Detoxing with rosemary, basil, and bay laurel, and Renewal with lemongrass and ginger. You can also create your own custom blend to suit your particular mood. After the massage or body treatment you can take home bath products like Refreshing Eucalyptus Bath Salts, Ylang-Ylang Calming Bath Oil (which is just fun to say), or Aqua Latte Foaming Bath Milk. And to help you transform your life from the inside out, Naturopathica also creates elixirs for vitality, stress reduction, and even female cramp ease. Bless them.
