Helio

The space and the menu are on the smallish side at Helio, but the services are performed with mindfulness toward providing total relaxation. Enter the modern and bright storefront tucked into a teeny street and leave behind the urban buzz of nearby Clark Street. Inside the tone immediately slows and attentive staff greet you warmly. If your therapist suggests incorporating more than one technique based on your body’s needs, let him. That’s not swagger—it’s confidence, and your gamble will be rewarded. The spa is part of a larger wellness company that reaches out to individuals and corporations, offering a broad array of programs from stress reduction to immune-system building.
