A Morning at the Spa

Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain both embody wellness philosophies that celebrate meeting each individual where they are on their personal journey. While each spa has a distinguishable menu of treatments and experiences that align with the ethos of their property, both the Wellhouse at Blackberry Farm and Nest at Blackberry Mountain offer thoughtful treatments rooted in balance and inspired by nature. 

Spending time at the spa is more than a luxury, it’s an invitation to slow down and simply be during your visit. While any time is a good time to treat yourself at the spa, our teams believe there is something especially magical about a morning appointment. It’s an intentional effort to set the tone of your day, to be present in your body and align before you take on the day’s adventures. 

We asked a few team members to share about what makes the early hours at the Wellhouse and Nest so special.

Why book a morning spa appointment?

“Starting your day with a morning spa treatment is a powerful way to reset your mind and body. It energizes you for the day ahead, helps clear mental fog and leaves you feeling refreshed and centered. For those who spend time on property regularly, morning treatments offer a wonderful opportunity to switch up your routine, indulge in self-care and fully embrace the tranquility of Blackberry Mountain before the day unfolds.”

– Miranda Hill, Blackberry Mountain HUB Director

“Timing is definitely better in the mornings to help with a tranquil experience. You’re also more likely to get the times and appointments that you want, because the spa is less crowded. You could start your morning with a workout in the gym, enjoy a morning spa appointment and then spend the afternoon relaxing by the pool.”

– Alexa Huffer, Blackberry Farm Wellhouse Spa Manager

Is there a specific treatment you recommend in the morning?

“If someone is looking for an enhanced mood or energy boost, getting a morning massage may by the best option. Increased circulation through massage and/or physical fitness invigorates the body by increasing oxygen to the muscles and brain. This creates an incredible start to the day!”

– Meghan Henley, Blackberry Mountain Assistant Director of Wellness

What are the benefits of morning treatments?

• Boosts Energy and Focus: Morning spa treatments, like massages or facials, can stimulate circulation and awaken the senses, setting a positive tone for the day. It helps clear any lingering tension or fatigue from the night.
• Enhances Mood and Reduces Stress: Starting your day with relaxation lowers cortisol levels, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a calm, balanced mindset.
• Maximizes Daylight and Enjoyment: After a morning treatment, you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy beautiful surroundings, outdoor activities or simply unwind knowing you’ve prioritized your wellness.
• Routine Refresh for Frequent Guests: For Private Owners or repeat guests who are on property often, morning spa sessions provide a delightful way to switch up your normal daily habits, explore new treatments and add a fresh rhythm to your wellness routine.
