 By Laura Medina

As soon as the Palisades and the Eaton fires started, deep in the lush, green valley of Temescal Canyon, 175 years-old Glen Ivy Spa is a retreat to quench your parched soul and body.

During this scribe’s recent birthday, Glen Ivy Spa is a sanctuary on one’s birthday.  

They do check I.D. to make sure it’s your birthday.

Once cleared, Glen Ivy Spa’s amenities are open and free for your birthday. Their birthday special is for through out the year. 

Dotted by pools and waterfalls, you as a day guest have plenty of water choices to soak in.

They built jacuzzi tubs over the natural geothermal mineral hot springs. They’re popular as first choice to soak in therapeutic sulfur, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium friendly 104 degrees bubbling, circulating waters.

That’s the first circuit.

The second circuit is the lap pool length but very shallow Saline Pool, for more rejuvenating soaking and socializing in this circulating long pool. 

Just simply soaking in those mineral pools, are enough to clear and soothe body skin and facial complexion and soften your hair without heavy oils or conditioner. The natural minerals enrich you, from head to toe. Why take in vitamins when you can just soak in them?

Glen Ivy Spa has three other longer, wider pools, and a mud bath.

The spa is okay with you getting down and dirty in their Mud Club where you can smear and slather yourself from head to toe, and all you want mud mask facial, to detox those pores while enriching your dermis even more with more minerals. 

The spa has a Romanesque locker rooms, showers, and another hot tub.

Once rinsed, you can refuel on clean, healthy Ivy Kitchen or go for quick refreshing snacks at GOCO Cafe, snacking on their unique pastries. 

With their discreet villas, it’s easy to forget the spa’s facials and massages. But don’t. Since it’s your birthday, go treat your body and soul to a massage or a facial or both. They do a body good.

For the LA fire ravaged, go ahead and recuperate at Glen Ivy Spa.
