THE NORTH BAY GUIDE
AKOIA
A balanced life is a happy, healthy existence. Whether during work or play, time with others or time spent alone, we strive for the center point of well-being. On a very basic level, everything in the universe seeks equilibrium. The ancients distilled this knowledge of balance into four distinct elements that work together and create our world—earth, air, water and fire. North Bay spas utilize these same elements in the treatments which assist clients in regaining balance in their lives—the hydrating waters of baths, the healing fire of hot stones or geo-thermal heat, the soothing products made from flowers, herbs, clays and muds of the earth, and the heady aromatherapy or deep cleansing breaths during an open air massage. Many spas feature facets of all four elements, but we have focused on one in particular which reflects both the setting of the spa and its primary services. Each spa’s element of choice is notated with an icon. Enjoy a spa treatment from one of the many beautiful facilities listed in the North Bay Bohemian Spa Guide, and regain the balance in your life. You’ll be in your element.
—Suzanne Daly
