Tea Garden Springs - San Francisco Bay Area's First Zen Spa Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

MILL VALLEY, CA (January 12, 2004) Often caught by the paparazzi sneaking out of yoga classes, or boarding planes toting their own containers of herbal tea, Hollywood's A-list beauties have recently discovered the nurturing benefits of holistic health practices. However, in "Hollywood North's" Marin County, Tea Garden Springs has been offering such healing services, treatments and classes to a close-knit community that has embraced meditation, mantras, and macrobiotics since the 1970's.

Opened a decade ago prior to the spa boom by forward-thinking entrepreneur Roy Nee, Tea Garden Springs is not your typical day spa. Nestled among Northern California's majestic redwoods, the quiet oasis buzzes with local clients who return on a weekly basis to what is often referred to as their gym for body, mind and soul.

"A lot of thought went into Tea Garden Springs, from the design based on the principles of feng shui, to our program of services that embrace the authenticity of therapies based on the philosophy seeking full integration of eastern herbal traditions with western aromatherapy. In our way of consideration for Tea Garden Springs, no detail has been too minor, including our decision to build Tea Garden Springs in Mill Valley, in a heart pulse of Marin, a place where Zen Buddhism has strong roots and as well a community," says Mr. Nee. Renowned for its highly trained holistic health practitioners, Tea Garden Springs' sought-after experts include nurses, acupuncturists, licensed Chinese medicine practitioners, aestheticians, massage therapists, and meditation teachers.

Tea Garden Springs not only offers the crème de la crème in beauty treatments such as Aromaveda Facials and luxurious Babor Body Treatments, but also features the best in holistic health experts, treatments, services, and classes. A rich source of information about new ways to heal chronic ailments such as depression, obesity, or insomnia, Tea Garden Springs is a one-stop shop offering holistic health counseling by licensed practitioners, acupuncture, Ayurveda, Advanced Body Therapy, nutritional counseling, herbal remedies, Chinese medicine, and meditation classes.
