cocoonurbandayspa.com The word "Cocoon" conjures up the image of a safe, relaxing sanctuary, a place where one can retreat and find themselves enwrapped in a protective aura. Perhaps that sounds like a grandiose description for a day spa, but in the case of Cocoon, it is completely fitting. The urban refuge is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown madness, but is still accessible for locals searching for a closeby break from work stress and life. Clean and beautiful modern decor provide the backdrop for a supremely fulfilling spa experience. First came a long session with master massage therapist Kristen, who has logged in time at The Mandarin Oriental in New York prior to coming to Cocoon. Her gentle touch and deft attention to problem areas immediately relaxed any lingering tensions from earlier in the whirlwind day. The Cocooning mani/pedi is a luxurious treatment for one's extremities, including a hydrating mask for the hands and feet, paraffin treatment, and targeted reflexology. But Cocoon is more than a day spa, it's a total experience. Stop by before or after work hours to partake in a rejuvenating yoga class, and soon, a world-class restaurant will be opened on the premises to satiate any post-treatment cravings. It's no wonder patrons emerge feeling like gorgeous butterflies.
