It’s a fact we’re all too familiar with: The world moves at a quick pace. Carla Pichonsky, the owner of Healing Waters Spa, has lived in Edmonton for 22 years and has witnessed the quick change of pace to living. It’s why she loves to slow down in the River Valley and focus on nature. “It’s like you’re not even in the city,” she says.
At Healing Waters Spa on Whyte Avenue, Carla works to bring clients a sense of liberation from their hectic schedules. It seems as if the spa has also discovered their own version of time travel; a renewal of an ancient tradition: the Hammam, also known as the Turkish Bath.

It starts a foot soak in Epsom salts, a piping hot shower and some time in the steam room by yourself.

It’s a glorious 90 minutes of pure pleasure that leaves your skin feeling so soft.
