Water therapy @ Kohler Waters Spa in Burr Ridge!
Kohler Spa is synonymous with luxury. The best of the best. I've had the pleasure of visiting The American Club in WI for a weekend but never before did I know that luxury was only a short 30-minute drive from my home sans overnight stay.
If you haven't visited the Kohler Waters Spa in Burr Ridge - you're missing out! Located in the Burr Ridge Village Center you can find the spa nestled in the middle between high end shopping, dining, movies and more. One could easily make a day of this destination and come home fully rested and rejuvenated.
I tested out the "All Things Scotland" hydrotherapy treatment with my girl, Tricia. It was truly the best spa experience I've ever had and that's saying a lot given that I worked in the industry for 8.5 years. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw my IG stories giving you a brief tour of the amazing pools and treatment rooms.
I don't relax much during massages - never have. This treatment completely rendered me into a useless state. The treatment starts out with a foot soak and brief shoulder, neck and scalp massage followed by a full body scrub on the massage table, seaweed mask and...get this...a hair wash and conditioning treatment.
I was like a baby. Anyone who washes my hair and massages my scalp is aces in my books. For some reason I find this the most relaxing service of all.
Following my hair treatment, the warm wrap was removed and out came the Vichy showers. I was rinsed until squeaking clean with a gentle, pulsing shower that covered my entire body. Note: you have to be comfortable stripping down for this treatment but the staff at Kohler is incredibly polite and discrete. I never felt vulnerable or awkward at any point in time.
The grand finale of my treatment was a warm, seashell massage on my back and pressure points. It was quite lovely to be wrapped in blankets and finish with said treatment...almost like a gentle awakening.
Post treatment, any treatment really, I highly recommend taking a dip in the hot and cold pools followed by a spin in the sauna. It's just heavenly. I'm currently trying to book an entire spa day with four of my girlfriends because we have been managing chaos and need a break.
No doubt you should intend to spend several hours here and book a reservation at one of the restaurants within the shopping center post spa day. It's the perfect finish to a luxurious day and you can still return home for bedtime snuggles with your littles.
That's my idea of the ideal escape! Enjoy!

Do blondes really have more fun?
Maintaining this ashe-y blonde hue is an absolutely commitment. If you’re going to pursue this shade of blonde, you have to know what you’re signing up for. It’s been several years and lotsa dollars for me but I absolutely love it.
