Be your own queen, gift yourself a day at the spa, like I did at Neo Veda Spa. Feel the body, mind and soul align, leading to physical and mental wellbeing
Nothing is more terrible than stress, releasing the cortisol hormone that stiffens our joints, clogs the mind and makes the days burdensome. Spa days tell you to take a backseat, make room for self-care and say goodbye to gloom.
Pulling myself out of a burnout, stress and depression, I took up the invitation to enjoy a spa therapy at Neo Veda spa, The Metropolitan Hotel & Spa, New Delhi. This 60-minute serenity escape proved to be the ultimate detoxification and relaxation retreat.
Tranquil Surroundings
Spas are places for hushed tones, light décor, urlis (bowls) filled with water and fresh flower petals, fragrant candles and warm welcomes. Neo Veda Spa with its soothing music and warm smiles proved to be that relaxing retreat for the day.
Personalized and Attentive Service
Prioritizing personalized service, the counsellors wanted to know what kind of massage I liked and if I had special needs such as a more painful part. The nape, I said. I was recommended a Balinese massage, head to toe with aromatic oils and moderate pressure.
The menu is extensive. The therapists are trained professionals with a deep understanding of various relaxation techniques. They listen attentively to your concerns and tailor their approach accordingly, making you feel truly taken care of. There are light massages such as Swedish massage, moderate ones and hard ones such as deep tissue massage. Then there are Ayurvedic massages. There are special facials and bath rituals along with scrubs. The spa has a special couple massage as well.
Guided to a locker room, I was handed a big brown towel robe and slippers. My hair knotted, I walked with Susanne into the designated therapy room with soft music, aromatic fragrances tingled my nose. The phone on silent, I lay face down, ready to drift into the world of dreams.
With her soft hands, a shy Susanne kneaded my knotted muscles, first with my back covered with a towel and then with oil. I slowly forgot about the surroundings.
The totally immersive experience took 60 minutes, but I could have slept off the entire afternoon. Then I took a steam bath, had a cool shower, enjoyed a cup of green tea, before looking at my shining face. I was happy with my serenity escape and glowing skin.
Why every woman deserves a spa day
Massage Therapy
The skilled spa therapists use a variety of techniques to release tension from the muscles, relieve aches and promote overall relaxation.
Aromatherapy
The soothing scents of essential oils fills the air, creating a calming environment that encourages deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
Digital Detox and Mindfulness
The silence of the phone and the speech help calm the monkey mind, promote mental clarity and restore inner peace.
The combined effects of massage therapy, aromatherapy, and detox techniques work synergistically to melt away tension and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Improved Well-being
Regular spa treatments have been shown to have a positive impact on overall well-being. By taking the time to prioritize self-care, you are investing in your physical and mental health. These queenly wellness splurges nurture both the body and mind, leaving you with a renewed sense of vitality.
Did you know that spa is a spring or resort with thermal or mineral water used for drinking and bathing? It originates from a town near Liège, Belgium, which was known for its curative mineral springs.

USP of a spa
1. Tranquillity from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
2. An opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and focus solely on your well-being.
3. A time to recharge and boost mental and emotional health.
4. Treatments like massages, facials, and body scrubs can improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote better sleep.
5. Steam rooms, saunas, and body wraps help remove toxins from the body, leaving you with a radiant glow.
6. Meditation sessions, aromatherapy, and the calming ambiance of a spa can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
7. Looking and feeling your best can boost confidence and provide a much-needed morale boost, leading to enhanced self-esteem.
8. A spa day is a chance to reclaim precious ‘me-time’ and indulge in self-reflection can lead to personal growth and a deeper understanding of your needs and desires.
A spa day isn’t just a luxury; it’s a chance to unwind, rejuvenate, and remind yourself of your intrinsic worth. So, go ahead, give yourself the gift of relaxation and self-love that you truly deserve.

Aromatherapy is something which I am completely in love with. Many call me mad for that as they dont find any reason to believe that Aroma can actually rejuvenate our mind and body. I always have a strong inclination towards something that smells good, I am a die heart fan of good perfume and essential oils. Still date if someone is crossing me, be it a man or a woman using good perfume I literally turn back to see who the lady or guy is. That’s my way of appreciating their choice of fragrance. Especially during headache and when I am stressed or super tired I find peace in aromatherapy. It soothes my inner soul and makes me feel relaxed. Now about massage …. I badly need one dear but not comfortable to go for one in spa…. you can call it my spy cam scam going all around insecurity. I need someone who can give me a good one at home. As you said spa is not a luxury but a need of our body which many of us unknowingly ignore and gave it a tag of luxury. By the way you look so relaxed, happy and energized after the spa. Love that smile on face.

At last! I have not been to many spas but a monthly massage was routine for many years in my home town. But when I go on a vacation and there is a spa in the hotel I do indulge myself. You are glowing after the spa. That’s what a spa does- it makes you feel good, isn’t it?
