Room Of Beauty: An Organic Spa Experience to Nourish Your Soul (And Giveaway)!

July 17, 2014 By Monica Stone 4 Comments

Oh my goodness, what a phenomenal experience I had at Room of Beauty Body and Soul! This charming organic spa located in Winter Park, FL might be little, but it has a big heart! 

RoomOFBeautyRoom of Beauty Body and Soul is owned by the amazing Jessica Clark. Jessica specializes in massage therapy, essential oil treatments, facials, and other organic skin therapies.

Right when I pulled up to the spa, I could feel the peaceful energy, and knew immediately this place was special.

Since Jessica and I had been connecting over email and social media for a few weeks, we shared a big hug right when I walked in. It was great to finally meet her in person!

I was first asked to fill out paperwork, answering questions about my history and how I currently treat my skin. After I handed that over, Jessica gave me a tour of her spa. I loved this because it shows how much care and thought goes into giving the client a full experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. I usually walk into a spa, have a seat, and wait for my name to be called! This is just one of the many things that makes this spa unique. 

Jessica started the tour by introducing me the inspiring artwork that she sells by Kelly Rae Roberts:

Then, she went over all of the her treatments and the products she uses. I was thrilled to hear that everything she uses is organic, cruelty free, and vegan. 

She uses products from Eminence in all of her facials. This line is so fresh and pure that I could see the pulp when I opened the products from the elderberries, sour cherries, and other natural ingredients. It was like they just picked and packaged it a few minutes before I arrived! Some of the other common ingredients are hibiscus, coconut, and their most popular is Stone Crop, a hungarian Aloe Vera plant.

There are so many other amazing products that Jessica introduced me to, but first I want to tell you all about this facial! 

Jessica brought me back in the room, where she asked me about any skin problems, emotional imbalances and environmental factors that could be causing the skin concerns. After that, I got comfortable in the heated massage bed, and the facial began.

The first thing she did was massaged her hands over my skin. It was obvious to me at this moment that Jessica is not just a skin professional, but a healer. She told me later that she actually closes the eyes as she massages her hands over the skin to feel for imbalances and other skin abnormalities. 

The next step was to cleanse my skin, and then steam with enzymes. She began by massaging my neck, shoulders, and arms. She also gave me a hand massage and then placed warm gloves over my hands. Hand massages are my favorite, so I was thrilled about this. This was the part where I started to go in and out of sleep. It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could finally relax.

As we went on, the facial became even more in depth as she started extractions, where the pores are cleaned out, and a soothing facial massage. 

One of my favorite parts to this facial was the spicy products. Jessica told me at the beginning she was going to use spicy products on my skin, and she assured me that it wouldn’t burn, but just feel a little hot. She told me how the spicy products help the blood travel to the top which is why the skin becomes red. These products work wonderfully because they end up increasing blood flow thereby improving circulation. It was really fascinating to feel the impurities being removed as the products changed in temperature. 

She went on to exfoliate my skin with an invigorating facial masque, then applied a serum, a moisturizer with SPF, and an eye serum.

She closed with a lip balm, which I have to say felt extraordinary, so much that I purchased the lip balm before I left! I guess sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference!

Now that the facial was complete, I was a little sad, but felt totally satisfied. She took the warm gloves off my hands, and rubbed more moisturizer into my skin as I was starting to gain back my awareness. 

I was still feeling more relaxed and free than I can remember. I wasn’t just receiving a skin treatment, but this was a full mind and body healing experience.

You have to try this!

Another experience Jessica offers is called the Raindrop Technique by Young Living, which is an essential oil treatment. These are therapeutic-grade essential oils that deliver positive benefits to the body through smell, direct absorption into the skin, and by ingesting to bring balance to all systems of the body. Definitely going to try this next!

I ended my experience by purchasing the Tropical Lemongrass Soap from the Florida Soap Company, which made my bathroom smell amazing every day, and my skin feel soft.  I love that she has all of these natural, vegan, and organic products. I felt like a kid in a candy store!

    Monica is dedicated to her own practice and the true path of yoga - the one of personal experience - which makes her an outstanding teacher. She is warm and easy to talk with, and she allows the student to have their own experience on the mat. She explains postures and breath in ways that are understandable so that the student "gets it." She makes yoga real and tangible in ways that truly serve the student. Work with Monica. You'll be glad you did.

  • Jacob AbercrombieJacob AbercrombieYoga Student Since 2011

    have always wanted to try yoga, but was always nervous. Monica took that fear away and made me feel like i was the only one in class with a room full of strangers. She is able to work with multiple students during the same move and still make it a personalized class for one.

  • Serena JonesSerena JonesYoga Student Since 2010

    Monica has been a highly influential teacher to me. She creates a safe environment for learning and practice. I have always felt grounded in her classes, and she pushes me beyond my own expectations. She inspires and motivates! I can't imagine my life without sharing a path with her!

  • Angela OrofinoAngela OrofinoYoga Student Since 2011

    Monica is a caring, wise, thoughtful, and talented yoga instructor. She has an in-depth knowledge of the philosophy and spirituality of Ashtanga yoga. My previous yoga experience had mostly just been at my local gym. Luckily, last year I found Monica. She has been guiding my practice at least once a week since then. As a newcomer to Ashtanga yoga, Monica made me feel comfortable and had the patience to teach me the basics. She also encouraged me to start an at home practice so that I was able to obtain a deeper understanding of Ashtanga. Monica is always encouraging and lets me know in subtle ways when she feels that I am ready to move deeper into my practice. I feel that the growth in my practice over the last year has been tremendous. Not only do I notice the change in me but others around me do as well. I am so grateful to have found Monica!

  • Sasha TamarSasha TamarYoga Student Since 2012

    I’ve come across many a yoga instructor over the years, but Monica stands out as genuinely amiable, as she glows with an infectious inner light, and highly devoted to and passionate about her practice. Her dedication to Ashtanga as a lifestyle is very clear, and creates for a contagious motivating force. Every time I’ve practiced with her, she eagerly transmits her devotion and passion of Ashtanga and meditation to everyone in class; she makes the most fledgling beginner feel at home, and simultaneously challenges the more advanced students. While I only practice Ashtanga with her, I know she provides therapeutic yoga sessions as well as meditation. And, if her methods of guiding students out of the Ashtanga vigor into the more meditative savasana are indicative of her meditational techniques, I’d recommend her to anyone
