BODY of Santa Fe

12 Best Things to Do in Santa Fe

"Long a town for spiritual seekers and the healing arts, you’ll find several fine hotel spas around town (i.e., The Four Seasons, Ten Thousand Waves). But, locals and in-the-know visitors flock to Body of Santa Fe – a 20-year-old, earth-toned, multi-purpose space founded by Lori Parrish and dedicated to unique (and reasonably-priced) treatments. Enlist in reiki, acupuncture, Hawaiian lomi lomi, soul sessions and a new marconics “no touch session” leaning on multi-dimensional energy to aid what no longer serves. Meanwhile, a naturally-lit yoga studio with soaring ceilings hosts several forms of the ancient practice. That’s not all: there’s sustainable clothing by Karu, chic Hanselmann Pottery (handmade in Corrales, N.M.) and sustainable Southwestern sandals by the actress Ali McGraw, who lives in the region. An apothecary is stocked with Kate’s Magik anointing oils and DNA Skin Institute products. This fall, a forthcoming counter eatery will offer an array of plant-based smoothies, organic juices, wraps and bowls. There will also be a bespoke tea service for post-spa sipping and relaxing." - Kate Donnelly
