Wow! There are not enough words to describe the beautiful experience that is BIÂN. We felt welcomed immediately. The design and lighting creates such a soothing atmosphere. The infrared sauna and cryotherapy were new to me. The benefits were explained so well by the staff. Mysti has magical hands to gave me the best massage of my life! For lunch I had a “bowl” and it was amazing. There are also smoothie options for those wanting a quick meal to go. We also did a guided meditation session with Dominica that transported me to a beautiful spot in Italy with my family. I felt so much joy and love afterwards. I can’t wait to come back. Everyone needs to spend some time at BIÂN.
