When you think about going to a luxurious spa to get rid of your Christmas stress, in your fantasy you might think the Four Seasons “Spa to the Stars” in Beverly Hills or the 5-star “Hacienda Encantada Spa” in Cabo San Lucas. Good news! Stop fantasizing, look no further and find your dream spa oasis right here in Seal Beach!

Spa Wasted, located upstairs in the shopping center between Marina Drive and Fifth Street, can become your world of rejuvenation today!  Owners Trina Physick, Carrie Wright and Deborah Rasmussen have converted the former Wellsprings Wellness Center into a realm of tranquility.  You step through the door and the harmony of the blue, brown and gray décor, the washed wood, warmly inviting small fireplace, the soft music and flickering candles all contribute to their desire to make a statement of a “shabby chic beach” look with comfort and non-pretensioness in mind. They succeed!

“Prior to coming to Seal Beach,” says Trina, “Carrie and I first opened for business in Long Beach.  Within a year, our clientele growth indicated that we needed a bigger location and space in Seal Beach was available.  We both loved Seal Beach and felt blessed to relocate there.  Fortunately, we were able to bring in another business partner, so that made the move a reality.  We pooled our own money together and after a lot of hard work renovating, we’re proud that Spa Wasted is making its mark in this special community.”

Now, why the name “Spa Wasted?”  Trina responds, “I met my business partner, Carrie Wright five years ago and knew right away with her energy and enthusiasm and love of her occupation as an esthetician (specializing in a signature facial which includes microdermabrasion and glycolic), she would compliment my dedication and work ethic perfectly.  She came up with the name “Spa Wasted” as a term to describe someone really, really relaxed after a specialized and curated, new-life generating (perhaps relief from chronic pain and inflammation) spa experience. I loved the name, it expressed our goal for all of our clients, so the name was adopted.”

Spa Wasted prides itself on providing amazing Spa Day packages that incude two hours of bliss with a massage and a facial back-to-back, not only just focusing on the whole body from top to bottom but also emphasizing that loving extra TLC for the face and the body. While massage and facials are a primary focus, they have designed the spa to be a host to other spa professionals that are hand-selected to run their own personal business on the premises.  These professionals help complete the whole package of being “Spa Wasted” by providing cupping massage, exfoliating body scrubs, waxing, LED light therapy, oncology massage, acupuncture, manual lymphatic drainage and nutritional guidance as it relates to a client’s wellness.

Carrie and Trina have been members of the Chamber for four months, having launched their Chamber affiliation and business in November 2017, with a highly successful ribbon cutting and Chamber mixer. As new members they promised to be at every event with “bells and whistles on,” volunteering for as many special occasions as possible.  Their response to being part of the Community?  “We have always loved Seal Beach, we are so happy to have the privilege of establishing our business here and we look forward to making many lasting elationships!”
