The Spa Less Traveled: A Guide to Ethnic Spa Treatments in Los Angeles

 

A Devotee’s Guide to Ethnic Spas in L.A. County

California's Angelenos live on the cutting edge of trends, and now authors Gail Herndon and Brenda Goldstein have opened a window into the hottest trend in town (and yes, we’re counting food trucks): ethnic spa treatments.

Combining a quest for therapeutic luxury with a love for the multi-ethnic patchwork that is Los Angeles, Herndon and Goldstein have created a guide to the ethnic spas across L.A. County:  Thai, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Hawaiian, Indian, and more.

Based on personal (and anonymous) visits to several hundred spas and massage-therapy centers, the authors describe the treatments and how they connect to the cultures; let readers know what to expect in terms of clothing, tipping, even parking; give tips on where to eat and shop while you’re in the neighborhood; and recommend particular massages and therapists.

From Long Beach to Woodland Hills, West Covina to Venice, more than 200 spas are featured, from small mom-and-pop shops to sleek mega spas, each with its own style and sensibility. Readers will raise both their adventuresome quotient and their understanding of the many cultures that make up Los Angeles, all while enjoying restorative and therapeutic massages.

About the Authors

L.A. native Brenda Goldstein is a lifelong traveler whose quest for adventure travel began when she was a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras. Like her co-author, Gail Herndon has explored the globe, starting as a young child growing up in a military family. This shared love of cultural exploration—and a good massage—led the two friends to spend four years unearthing the best ethnic massages in L.A.

Join Nina Smiley, Ph.D., for this program which replaces a deprivation (diet) model with life-enhancing empowerment—teaching you to make mindful choices based on meditation and visualization that lead to a healthy lifestyle and sustained weight loss. Forget about counting calories, managing fat grams, juggling complicated food combinations — so many rules and regulations end up “weighing” you down. Focus instead on welcoming weight loss and wellness, as you leave with a personal plan for skillful new habits.
