The Healing PowerOf Couples Massage

Liz Belford

Among the many challenges extended isolation had during COVID was the strain placed on couples cooped up for months on end. Regardless of the strength of a relationship enforced togetherness can create stress. This has left couples searching for a way to rekindle the celebration of being with one another.


Couples are missing “experiences”, they are missing travel time together, missing fun in the sun on a tropical beach, missing time abroad … missing sharing new experiences together as a couple. Romantic time together and dates!


Couples who present a “united front” can move through tough times by reframing problems as obstacles to tackle together.*


One such couple is Vicki and George Fiddler who for 15 years have been loyal patrons of the Rosewater Spa. Their united front has been a commitment to the benefits and enjoyment of couples massage.

Since its founding in the year 2000, Rosewater Spa Of Oakville has been an oasis of calmness and according to Vicki “a place of positive energy.”  


“We found one of the most challenging aspects of the COVID experience was how much we both missed human touch,” said George. “We both find enormous stress relief from our visits with the very welcoming people at Rosewater.”


“This spa is a beautiful facility offering a high quality experience and you can’t beat the location,” George remarked. “Although I can’t do this anymore I made sure to make use of my benefit program at work to get the immense stress relief benefit of coming to Rosewater.”


Vicki spent some time telling us about the Registered Massage Therapists at the Spa. “While we have our favourites every one of the RMTs we’ve met here have been superb. They know exactly how to interpret what we’re saying when we remark upon a particular pain we might have and with the killer knowledge of anatomy they deliver a remarkable result.”


As a yoga teacher, Vicki understands the mind/body relationship and observed that from her experience their is a growing awareness of how massage can contribute positively to an overall feeling of wellness. 


Both Fiddlers commented that they on occasion have friends question them about why they so enjoy the couples massage. “I think they imagine that we spend our 80 minutes chatting about what’s happening in our lives and so on,” said George. “It couldn’t be further from the truth. We enjoy the solitude of the moment and the experience of doing something beneficial together. I highly recommend it but do make sure to book the 80-minute massage. The shorter time just doesn’t cut if for me!”

 

“Ultimately our perspective is that we deserve this,” Vicki declared. “We make a day of it and it’s a beautiful way for us to enjoy each other’s company and take advantage of the many wonderful restaurants, stores and features of downtown Oakville. We both really love Rosewater and have no hesitation in recommending that people enjoy the wonderful service that Liz offers.”


Self care and healing through couples massage and the experience of a beautiful facility where our clients enjoy the highest quality experience is where Rosewater Spa excels.


I am so very grateful to Vicki and George for their support and encouragement. It is our ability to create wonderful moments for our clients that motivate us to continue to excel.


Yours in Health & Wellness,

Liz Belford, Founder

I don’t know if it’s just me. Shortly after Thanksgiving I began to sense a mild vibration around me. At first, I’m never certain what it’s about but then it all comes flooding back…it’s time to start thinking about finding the perfect Christmas gift for my family and friends. On the one hand, it’s kind of fun. On the other hand, it becomes ever more challenging to find the solution that’s just right for everyone on the list. I am the kind of person who takes the time to think about what might be perfect and completely personal. And, now that most of the people on my docket have all of the stuff they’ll ever need (and more) my creative skills and imagination must come into play!

I have a favour to ask of you. It’s a safe assumption that each of you knows someone who has been touched by cancer. While remarkable progress has been made in prevention and treatment, cancer continues to infiltrate the lives of too many women - young and old. When I created Rosewater Spa I made a commitment to myself that this business would always give back to the community and among the causes I support cancer is one of the areas where we can make a real difference in the lives of women undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. I know so many women, who ring the bell at the conclusion of their treatment and are then faced with an expectation from others that life now will return to ‘normal’. I also know from so many women that this just isn’t so. Most of them are advised that recovering from radiation and/or chemotherapy will require up to 12 months and even then there can be lingering effects.
