Detoxify, Chill & Repeat in the Recovery Room

Elevate your wellness ritual with a session in our Proper Recovery Room at Verbena Spa, our newest spa offering featuring a dry sauna, invigorating cold plunge, and red light therapy.

Contrast therapy—the practice of alternating between hot and cold treatments—is a time-honored wellness technique that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes while actively supporting resilience and adaptability. Beyond the physical benefits, it’s also a powerful tool for mental wellbeing, helping reset the nervous system while promoting a sense of calming clarity that can last long after a session.

Recovery Room experiences start with the energizing shock of the cold plunge—with water temperature at a brisk 44°F, and just two minutes instantly awakening the senses. The benefits of cold plunging are wide-ranging, including improved circulation, lowered inflammation, and better sleep…the perfect natural remedy for fighting jet lag!

Next, move to the dry sauna for a dose of 195°F contrast therapy, offering benefits like stress relief and whole-body detoxification. The dry heat does more than make you sweat; as you bask in the warmth, your body is hard at work, optimizing longevity within a meditative environment where you can momentarily disconnect from the outside world. 

Round out Recovery Room experience with our state-of-the-art Joovv Elite red light therapy device, designed to deliver wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to your body. Red light therapy has been shown to enhance cellular energy production—promoting faster healing, reduced inflammation, and quicker recovery time; a favorite for athletes! 

Whether you’re seeking physical rejuvenation, mental clarity, or simply a moment of peace, we invite you to experience Proper wellbeing: the Recovery Room is open to locals and guests, with daily reservations available, no overnight stay required.
