Spring into Wellness | Q2 Edition
Hello Spring, Hello Self-Care
As the days stretch longer and the blossoms begin to bloom across Alabama, it’s the perfect reminder that wellness — much like spring — is all about renewal. At the RTJ Spa Trail, we believe every season is a chance to reset, restore, and prioritize your well-being.
This quarter, we’re highlighting two upcoming celebrations that are dear to our hearts: Mother’s Day and Father’s Day — and how the gift of self-care might be the most meaningful gift of all.
Mother’s Day: Love, Rest, and Rejuvenation
Moms are often the heart of the family — giving, supporting, nurturing. But let’s be honest: that kind of constant love can be draining. This Mother’s Day, we’re inviting you to not only love on the ones you love — but encourage the moms in your life to take time for themselves.
A little-known fact? Regular self-care isn’t just relaxing — it’s life-extending. According to studies on longevity, consistent stress-reducing practices like massage, mindfulness, and even short spa breaks can help lower cortisol, support heart health, and promote cellular repair.
Give Mom the gift of health — from deeply hydrating facials to soul-soothing massages and tranquil spa getaways, we’re here to help her reconnect with her most rested, radiant self.
Father’s Day: Stronger. Calmer. Healthier.
Dads need downtime too. And we’re not just talking about a nap in the recliner.
This Father’s Day, let’s challenge the narrative that self-care is just for women. Our RTJ Golf Recovery Massage was designed with the modern man in mind — especially after a long day on the green.
From sore shoulders to lower back tension, our therapists are trained to target the areas that matter most to golfers and active men. Plus, men who receive regular massage therapy often report lower blood pressure, better sleep, reduced anxiety, and faster muscle recovery.
Help Dad recharge — because when he feels better, he lives better.
A New Era at The Spa at the Shoals
We’re thrilled to announce the newly renovated Spa at the Shoals is officially open — and it’s more serene, stylish, and soul-nourishing than ever.
As part of the renovation, we’ve added infrared saunas in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms, providing guests with a cutting-edge wellness experience. Infrared heat therapy is known to improve circulation, ease joint pain, boost immunity, and support detoxification — making it the perfect pre- or post-treatment ritual.
The refreshed spa menu features brand-new signature treatments, including advanced facials, targeted body therapies, and locally inspired rituals designed to reflect the spirit of the Shoals. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a longtime favorite, we invite you to come experience our beautiful new space and discover what relaxation truly feels like.
Stay Tuned
Each of our spa locations along the RTJ Spa Trail is crafting specialty offerings for both holidays — curated packages, retail promotions, and a few surprises, too.
So whether you’re celebrating someone else or treating yourself (yes, you deserve it), we can’t wait to welcome you this season.
Yours in Wellness,
Taylor Fields, Corporate Director of Spa, Wellness, Retail
