Biomedical sophomore Rene De La Fuente gets a massage from massage therapist Ella Lunesz on Spa Day April 4 in Loftin before he attends his fencing exposition. Ella explained her technique to massage is using her fingertips instead of her elbows to allow the client to feel more relaxed pressure.
The Psych Club will be hosting a spa day 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 3 in the Fiesta Room of Loftin Student Center.
“Its purpose is to give the students an opportunity to have a quiet, calming moment to receive a free massage,” President Sonya Santiago said in an interview.
The office of student life is co-sponsor.
Ten massage therapists will work on students, who also can enjoy some aromatherapy.
Other treatments available will include a foot massage station and a spot for paraffin waxes.
As students get pampered with VIP treatments, a guitarist will provide the perfect ambient soundtrack to help mellow the mind.
“The keyword during spa day is relax,” Santiago said.
The event is free to all students.
“Last time they had a spa day, I went after every class,” education sophomore Afton Barber said.
