Member Spotlight

The owners of La Moon Thai Spa, Nikki and Grace searched high and low, for the perfect location for La Moon Thai Spa. After great due diligence, they decided on the town of Wilmington. One of the main reasons why they chose Wilmington was because the community was absent a premier affordable spa service and they wanted to bring more diversity and choice for the residents of the north shore area. 


La Moon Thai Spa offers a range of skincare and body treatments for both men and women. Their 1,900 square foot Thai oasis has 6 treatment rooms for massages, facials and waxing. Additionally, there is a sauna room for deep muscle relaxation before or after your treatment. The waiting room and reception area, is a modern and relaxing environment comforted by a fireplace and complimentary organic teas.

           
What is a Thai Massage? Buddhist monks are believed to have developed Thai massage practices as a part of the healing process nearly 2,500 years back. The massage uses techniques involve passive stretches and application of pressure on the energy lines of the body. The massage can help relieving joint and muscle tension, increasing flexibility, improving blood circulation, reducing stress levels and restoring balance in the energy systems of the body. While La Moon Thai Spa is known for giving a great deep tissue Thai massage the therapists are also trained to deliver a great relaxing Swedish too. La Moon Thai Spa therapists have had years of training and will listen to your needs, evaluate the treatment options, then will deliver a premier massage.. The goal is for you to leave La Moon Thai Spa feeling like a new person.  See Special Offer Coupon below.
