With all the demands we put on ourselves, what can we do to avoid burn-out, the dreadful migraine, the extra five pounds, the lack of sleep, and/or the feeling of being on the edge of the 'n..n..n..nervous breakdown’?  Instead of dreaming about mud packs, herbal wraps, facials and various spa treatments, this is the week women should begin to unite and celebrate Women's Health Week by visiting a spa destination. This is, of course, intended to reconnect and rejuvenate for the sake of the planet and our species.  Before you spend your hard-earned money on shopping or a therapy session, consider investing in a spa package.

Spa getaways come in different shapes and sizes...there's the resort spa, the day spa, the medical spa, the beauty spa, the barefoot and pregnant spa, and the health spa. And, of course, there are spas with your budget in mind. Check out this list of various destinations that may be helpful in deciding which type of womanly spa speaks to you.

Barefoot and Pregnant Spa:  you thought I was joking?  This is a spa in Sausalito, California that caters to the pregnant or new mother who needs some well-deserved R & R.   

The Olympus Spa:  this is a spa that integrates east and west techniques to pamper your mind, body, and spirit.  Located in the Puget Sound area, this spa is dedicated to honoring women.

Canyon Ranch in Tuscon, Arizona or Lennox, Massachessets:  this retreat offers a ‘Life Enhancement Program’ which focuses on self-discovery, personal health issues, and relearning positive lifestyle habits.

Green Mountain at Fox Run in Ludlow, Vermont:  this is a fitness and weight-loss retreat that offers women-only packages, a ‘young women’s program, and they celebrate Mother-Daughter-Sister month in May with special rates

The Golden Door:  this is an award-winning spa created by a woman for women.  Inspired by the ancient Japanese Honjin inns, the philosophy is to provide travelers with an atmosphere of relaxation to restore a balance of well-being.  The original retreat is in Escondido, California and others can be found in Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and the Caribbean.  

It isn’t often many of us are able to indulge in pampering ourselves…but, it’s never too late and we’re never too old, and it's a good excuse to take the challenge and celebrate ourselves once a year during Women’s Health Week.
