| Healthwinds Spa Offers Tranquil New Setting for Private Events |
|
Healthwinds The Health & Wellness Spa, which operated in a medical building at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue for 15 years, has relocated to a new street-level space in the Chateau Royal condominium development on Mount Pleasant Road. The spa, founded by Kailee Kline, has eight treatment rooms, a juice bar, and a spa shop—all of which can be utilized for corporate and social events.
"Our new environment is inspired by luxe international spas, while offering treatments and services that are effective, accessible, and affordable,” Kline said. “We wanted to exceed our guests’ expectations with an experience that both relaxes and renews." |
