Discovering A Gem
Ethos The Spa, London, Ontario submitted by Kelly B. of Cobourg, Ontario

In my desire to enjoy some ‘spa’ time on a recent trip to London, Ontario, I discovered a gem! I asked local people for recommendations and Ethos The Spa was the top referral. “Excellent services,” “so clean” and “fun experience” were oft-repeated quotes. Owners Katina Kritikos and Chris Violetis enjoying their twelfth year in business, explained that “Ethos” is an acronym for ‘esthetics that heal our soul.” The décor was spectacular. A luxurious Grecian salon incarnate, from its spectacular mural ceiling to the magnificently tiled hallway leading to distinct spa rooms. Mine was an exquisite moss green and gold heaven. I chose the three-hour Stirring the Goddess package: an Aromatherapy Full-Body Detoxifying Massage, a Purifying Facial, and a Spa Manicure.

My treatment specialists excelled in technique, kindness, and knowledge. Holistic methods and natural products are used at Ethos. Oriental Analysis of essential oils helped to choose those that best suited my needs. I savoured an exceptional full-body massage.

The Swiss skincare line, Physiodermie Methode (renown for its purity and high dermatological standards) is used exclusively. From the first to the final steps, the facial lasted an hour. It was undeniably one of the best facials I’ve experienced; my skin was radiant. The manicure was soothing and delicious. Total cost was $185.00 Cdn. + taxes. Unbeatable! www.ethosthespa.com
