Spa Retreat Cary is operated by Spa Retreat North Carolina, LLC, and is set up as a day spa with a lounge, seven treatment rooms for massage and facials, a private nail salon and a group space.
Marian Sterk founded the spa. She began managing massage cabanas in Hawaii in 2007, found her direction in the spa industry there, and moved to Raleigh in 2009. Her business partner, Chase Wilhelm, helped open the spa and later stepped away to pursue other ventures. The owner describes entering her seventh year running the spa.
Services are grouped into massage, facials and skin care, nails, waxing, lash and tint, body treatments, foot soaks, packages and seasonal specials. The massage menu covers Swedish-style, deep tissue, Thai reflexology, hot stone, Ashiatsu, stone and magnesium, prenatal and reiki sessions. Retreat massage is adjusted to preferred pressure, focus areas and technique and includes one personalized ReTreat. Prenatal and postpartum massage is recommended from 13 weeks of pregnancy and two weeks after birth, with exceptions left to the therapist. Facials use products from Shira Organics, Image, Cosmedix and AquaGlo, and Cosmedix chemical peels follow a free consultation.
The spa is a quiet space. Guests are asked to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early, keep conversation low, store phones in lockers and leave hairdryers at home, since they are not permitted on site. Locker rooms are stocked with robes and slippers, and wine, champagne, mimosas and trail mix are available on request. A dry heat sauna session is free, and sauna time is included with a facial or massage. Guests without a scheduled service can pay a $30 amenities fee for three hours of locker room, lounge and refreshment access. Reservations can be made by phone, online or by email, and a credit card on file is required to book. Individual appointments need 12 hours notice to cancel and packages need 24 hours, with late cancellations charged half the service cost.
Parties can gather and unwind in The Gallery, a dedicated group room. The spa also hosts corporate retreats and bridal showers, with services tailored to each group. Private use of the Gallery for six or more people carries a $1,800 minimum on services. For groups of four or more, a 20 percent gratuity is added unless other arrangements are made. Manicures and other nail work happen in a separate, calm room furnished with a made-to-order sofa and copper basins; it has no pedicure chairs with built-in thrones and no massage chairs.
The spa focuses on sustainability, support for the local economy and environmental care, and aims to give each guest a restful retreat. Products are organic and all-natural, many sourced locally.
The setting is quiet and natural, with the spa describing its feel as genuine and understated elegance.
