Patch Picks: 5 Spas for Rest and Relaxation

Springtime is a time for renewal, so why not hit the spa? There are many great places locally, and although I think massage therapy is great as someone who likes to run, I have to admit I'm not one who would routinely stop by a spa.

So, thanks for the help in generating this list from a discussion on our Facebook page.

Here they are:

• – As I said above, I favor a massage place and this one offers deep tissue, Swedish, hot stone and prenatal massages.
• Therese Cranick recommends in Brighton. She said: "I am not yet familiar with any Harland places, but I have to RAVE about Michelle's Day Spa in Brighton. I have been quite a few times and you're treated like a queen and their services are amazing. From their esthetician to their masseuses it is all top-rate and completely worth the money. And on a wonderful note, the owners are VERY supportive of their community and generous with helping out their schools."
• Patch calendar editor Anne Seebaldt recommend .
• Cindy Bluhm Meyer recommeds LaVida Massage in Brighton.
• And for our pets: We have in Hartland.
