Did You know that spa is prehistoric? We can source our roots back to the ancient times when we used mineral rich spring water and even seawater at time for medicinal purposes. Also known as Balneotherapy & Thalassotherapy, we dedicate the month of aquarius to everything water.

Interview
Do you prefer lakes, rivers, or the ocean?
I love the outdoors and living in Wisconsin, so I have to say my favorite category is rivers! In Wisconsin, rivers seem to change with the seasons. In the Spring, they are flowing with extra water from the melting snow, which makes an amazing, peaceful sound. In the summer, they can have very little water in them allowing you to pick rocks and skip them across the banks. In the Fall, the rivers are full of life, as the Salmon swim upstream to spawn. And in the winter, the rivers freeze making them a fun playground to ice skate with my kids!
Do you prefer still or sparkling as a beverage?
Still water is definitely my favorite.
What is your favorite spa treatment?
Anything involving hydrotherapy! At the Kohler Waters Spa, the Healing Waters Treatment is definitely my favorite service as it is hydrotherapy at its best. Under the Kohler Custom Vichy Shower, this service mixes several different water sources and temperatures, invigorating your senses and improving your overall circulation. It is a must if you ever visit a Kohler Waters Spa!
