About

Massage by Kath operates from inside Ricci's Spa on South Main Street in Newtown, with parking available at the spa. The studio serves clients from Newtown, Sandy Hook, Monroe, Bethel, Brookfield, Southbury and the greater Danbury area. It is open Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and all visits are by appointment only.

Massage is the core of the studio. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes and include time for consultation, changing and aftercare, so the hands-on portion is about 50 or 80 minutes. Each massage is adjusted to the client's pressure preference, comfort and focus areas, moving from a Swedish-style flow to deeper, more focused work. Optional enhancements such as cupping, warm stone, aromatherapy and head-to-toe renewals can be chosen when booking and do not extend the session. The business describes its 90-minute massage as its most popular option. Massage is not offered to pregnant clients or to anyone under 18.

The Japanese Head Spa is a scalp-focused service that combines cleansing, steam, warm water and scalp massage, and the business says it is among the most-requested services in Newtown. Several named Head Spa rituals are offered at different lengths and price points, with add-ons such as a scalp detox boost, a deep repair mask and a scalp exfoliation. Hair is towel dried afterward. The Head Spa is a spa service rather than a medical or hair-growth treatment, and it is not suited to clients with extensions, braids, locs or chemical services in the past 7 to 10 days. Body rituals use a heated table, lavender salt exfoliation and warm towels, and no shower is needed before or after. The business describes its Head-to-Toe Lavender Glow Ritual as its most popular ritual.

Facial services center on hydrofacials in 30, 60 or 90 minute lengths, which the business says address congestion, dullness, dryness and uneven texture with no downtime. Add-ons include diamond-tip microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, a foot scrub and an eye and lip mask treatment. Reiki sessions use gentle hand placements or hands-hovering, are performed with the client fully clothed, and need no prior experience. Assisted stretching focuses on the hips and lower back in one-on-one sessions.

Waxing covers the face, body and bikini and Brazilian areas for women, plus a separate men's menu, all done with a premium hard wax formulated for sensitive skin. Men's waxing takes place in a private room, and first-time clients are welcome. Clients are asked to shower beforehand and to allow about 2 to 3 weeks of hair growth, and results typically last 3 to 6 weeks. Bikini and Brazilian waxing cannot be done during a period, and clients should reschedule at least 24 hours ahead if their cycle starts unexpectedly. Booking is possible online or by calling, and cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours notice, with a 50 percent charge for later cancellations and a full charge for no-shows. A monthly membership and gift certificates are also available.

Each session is shaped around the client's pressure preference, comfort and focus areas, with the aim of restoring balance, easing tension and calming the nervous system.
