Going Au Naturel – Naturopathica, East Hampton

REVIEW THIS SPA NOW

“Pure ingredients – Pure results.” This is the motto of Barbara Close who founded this spa 10 years ago after traveling the world learning a host of healing modalities and searching out the finest ingredients for her own holistic line of remedies and botanical skin care products. To ensure purity, Naturopathica uses plants and flowers from their own farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as other small organic farms around the world. Their shelves are lined with cobalt blue bottles filled with massage oils, shower gels, moisturizers, and homeopathic remedies which are free of synthetics, petroleum products, and artificial dyes and fragrances, using nature’s bounty instead. Their facials inspire visions of delicious desserts with black cherry and pumpkin enzymes as well as crème cassis hydrating cream.

Using the highest grade of essential oils, the massages include Relaxing with lavender and lavendin, Detoxing with rosemary, basil, and bay laurel, and Renewal with lemongrass and ginger. You can also create your own custom blend to suit your particular mood. After the massage or body treatment you can take home bath products like Refreshing Eucalyptus Bath Salts, Ylang-Ylang Calming Bath Oil (which is just fun to say), or Aqua Latte Foaming Bath Milk, and to help you transform your life from the inside out, Naturopathica also creates elixirs for vitality, stress reduction, and even female cramp ease. Bless them.

Their purist approach continues into their new beauty lounge that offers botanical manicures and pedicures as well as an array of waxing with custom blended organic hibiscus flower wax. End your trip at the elixir, juice, tea bar, and browse their books, videos, and CD’s. A holistic line of products are also designed specifically for men as well as babies, making great gifts as well. Barbara Close recognizes that instead of being new age these treatments are truly ancient. “Nature has been creating remedies since the dawn of time. I simply connect them back to you.”

Signature Treatment: “Masters Massage”

It’s like having the Michaelangelo of massage. Developed by lead trainer Mark Dauenhauer with Barbara Close, these special elongated sessions are performed by therapists with five or more years of experience, who practice a minimum of five massage modalities, and who consistently receive positive feedback from clients. If you have any chronic conditions from sciatica to insomnia this is for you. With a combination of deep strokes and passive stretching your expert does all the work. All you have to do is breathe. Don’t worry, they’ll remind you.

Open Friday through Monday and daily in the summer season. Naturopathica, 74 Montauk Highway, Red Horse Plaza, 631-329-2525
