If you are visiting Mt Dora for a day and you are female...go! Make that appointment! While travelling solo, I called on a Saturday morning to see if they could get me in. They were booked BUT placed me on hold...came back to say that they would fit me in and that the owner, Donna, would be doing my 90... More

Essential Therapies is a very special place for me. The building is actually a quaint and picturesque house, with a very large wooded yard encompassing many small gardens and a secluded hot tub area. I enjoy walking through the grounds before or after my services to see what's blooming or sitting outside for a few minutes in between services. From... More

Jess did a great job getting my fiances pedicure scheduled right after our hot tub time. I read on the tranquil back porch while Janet got her toes prettied up. Then we had a great couples massage. They really focused on our problem areas and we both felt great afterward, we slept well that night. Janet said I slept through... More

My first visit to Essential Therapies Garden Spa was perfect in every way. The services and products they provide are outstanding. I hooked my mom up with a massage with them for her birthday and the staff even went out of their way to surprise her with flowers on her special day. This is the place to go if you... More

I have had two massages at Essential Therapies. Both times I was greeted by the awesome staff and a nice glass of ice water. Before the massage I had a peaceful and relaxing soak in the garden jacuzzi...as a mother, it's so nice to have alone time occasionally :). I had massages by Dana and by Sue. They were both... More
