Please explore our various Ayurvedic, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Swedish, Sound Healing and Facials services below. Sanjevani is no ordinary spa. In fact, we call it the "unspa"! Sanjevani is a place of healing and rejuvenation and believes that there should be no compromise when it comes to its massages, therapies and facials. There is no compromise in the products we use in those treatments either. We promise that the health of your skin is as important to us as the health of your entire physical being. We believe that "if you can't put a product in your mouth to eat, then you should never put it on your skin." Your skin, being the largest organ on your body, digests everything that is used on it and it better not have petroleum by-products or SLS anywhere in its ingredients! Organic means more than just one ingredient on the label that is organic. The herbalized oils used in our therapeutic massages and therapies are made with organic sesame, sunflower or coconut oils. The herbs are all organic or wild crafted from trusted sources. When you enter the inner sanctum for a relaxing, luxurious healing treatment at Sanjevani you can be sure that your best interests and needs will be taken into account. Our treatments are tailor made to suit your body type and condition. We will take the time to interview you prior to your treatment to understand what is going on in your life that may need extra special attention.

A word about our Zeta Core© catalytic water conditioner utilized throughout our facility: The Catalytic Water Conditioner is a high tech de-scaler to remove mineral buildup that accumulates in water using equipment and in soils. Mineral build up in the form of hard scale is a common problem in water for household, agricultural and industrial uses. Catalytic conditioned water provides a "soft" but not slippery feel and allows the use of less detergents and cleaning compounds, makes water penetrate soil faster, neutralizes the effects of minerals that cause hard water and allows many agricultural crops to flourish in what is commonly called "salty" water.
