La Casa Day Spa is a great place to visit to come to relax, rewind, and feel better! I can attest to my own experience there with the wonderful plethora of treatments provided by the founder, Dr. Jane Goldberg, PhD. She has provided a wonderful variety of powerful, state of the art machines and treatments that I have never seen assembled in one place before. I have found the Accu-Pulse 8000 PEMF machine as well as the Rejuva-Pod to be excellent treatments for inflammation and pain management. It is particularly useful for individuals seeking a non-pharmaceutical solution to issues of inflammation and pain so common with aging! I highly recommend this wonderful spa!

I've had the pleasure of going here a few times over the past couple of years. I tried the ionic foot bath which I originally found on Groupon! It was terrific! Most recently I tried the Ozone Therapy to boost my immune system when I had strep throat- and sure enough 24 hours later- it was cured! Glenn helped me and was terrific throughout the entire process. The receptionist was also extremely kind and helpful! It's a beautiful space!

This place is completely cutting edge when it comes to self healing and herbal medicine, while offering an alternative to the sterile, corporate spa environment with a plant-filled, comfortable space and sweet, laid-back, knowledgable staff. I will forever be their client!

I've been to La Casa Day Spa many times. The reason is because it has been so helpful for my health and wellness. I've had massages there that are exceptional and I've had several colonics with Gayatri and Cheryl. They have a better dozen different kinds of colonics each one specialized and having a different effect. I don't believe there's another place like it either in New York or on the planet. Is very welcome down-home feeling to the place, both fresh and comforting at the same time.

They also have a great flotation room which I have also experienced and found it to be profoundly relaxing. And it's quite a unique experience. Never really great array of effective and unusual healing modalities. Check out the website, look at all the wonderful things they have to offer come on and treat yourself to a very healing experience.
