Eau La La: spa retreat mixes Erieau’s local charm with star treatment
Christine Summers launches luxury spa, bringing pampered living to the doorstep of Windsor, Chatham, and London
Erieau, Ontario – A day at a luxury spa no longer means making a long trip out of town. Starting this November, area residents can enjoy pampered living near home, allowing more time to enjoy the 4Rs of the spa experience: restore, revitalize, rejuvenate, and re-new.
Eau La La Spa opens its doors on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 with a wide range of beauty treatments — just in time for the holiday season and fighting the winter blahs. The brainchild of local media personality Christine Summers, Eau La La brings together imported and inspired beauty treatments found in exotic retreats from around the globe.
“Spa escapes are no longer for the elite. They’ve become increasing popular with people from all walks of life,” says Summers, who hosts the weekly syndicated US radio program Body Talk on the Health Radio Network (www.healthradionetwork.com) which examines spa life and personal wellness. “I have been working in and around the industry for over 20 years and I know that creating an outstanding spa going experience is not the result of being ‘out of the way.’ It comes from a passion for pampering, innovation, a commitment to customer satisfaction, and natural settings that help invigorate the body and mind.”
Nestled between Lake Erie and Rondeau Bay, Eau La La is literally surrounded by bodies of water, offering spa goers the soothing sounds of waves and the tranquility of natural settings. Summers continued saying, “Erieau must surely be the envy of the region. Its breathtaking scenery and picturesque views create a fantastic ambiance to complement the spa’s offerings. Plus: Being situated so close to Windsor, Chatham and London makes it easier for many people to find time to experience full body beautification treatments, covering head-to-toe, and even limb-to-lashes.”
Specialties of the luxury spa include sensual therapies that read like a menu of tasty indulgences available to individuals, couples, and small groups. Amongst the many therapies and treatments offered at Eau La La include:
· The Spa’s Chocotherapies, such as a full body “chocolo-massage,” uses a unique blend of chocolate oils that deeply moisturize the skin while providing antioxidants and vitamin E to the body. Now chocolate lovers can delight in its aromatic pleasures without gaining a single calorie!
· The Hot Poultice treatment serves up an exotic massage experience that begins with the drizzling of hot oil over selected parts of the body. Warm poultices are generously spread over the skin to deepen the massage with a special blend of herbal ingredients that are known to soothe, detoxify and exfoliate.
· Margarita massages are flavorful body treatments using special blends of oils and butters toward rejuvenating the body. The ginger and lime treatment offers an uplifting combination of massages, which include Swedish and full body polish, as well as foot, hand, and scalp treatments to refresh the entire body.
Other noteworthy Eau La La offerings include:
· Vinotherapy (wine therapy)
· Lushious Lash extensions
· Exotic body wraps
· Mud treatment
· Dead Sea Body Polish
· Hot stone massages
· Seaweed anti-aging facial masks

… amongst others.
Tea tasting and refreshments may be served at any time during the visit.
The Spa also offers its line of signature spa skin creams including “Milk and Honey,” “Vanilla Orange,” “Ginger Lime,” and “Rosemary Mint.”
Summers says the full range of Eau La La’s services is offered “a la carte” to allow patrons to create personalized spa experiences for themselves and their guests. Visitors to the Spa’s web site (http://www.ellspa.com) will be able to find a complete list of offerings with descriptions.
“My travels as a broadcaster have taken me to spas across North America and Europe…. and even to the jungles of Belize … in finding the latest and greatest offerings to help patrons look good and feel better,” Summers says. “But it’s essential that visitors come away with a spa experience that best suits their tastes. We will always be happy to answer their questions about selections so they will make the most of each visit.
