Ummelina Day Spa - Seattle, Washington - A Unique Journey into Pampering Paradise and Masterful Massage Therapy

The Ummelina Day Spa is owned by Nina Ummel, founder, president, and chief visionary officer of Ummelina International celebrating over 21 years of service. Her talented staff, or guides, is the soul of Ummelina. They each specialize in their own unique trade of pampering.

One of her sanctuary guides, Nana Nkatiah-Bosom, who goes by the name of "Nana from Ghana'' is an onsite herbalist. His specialty is the African Foot Bath that provides a soothing half-hour long treatment for your feet and lower legs involving water, hot towels, Shea butter, and massage to increase circulation. Nana says he was trained by his grandparents in Ghana. He believes that our feet are the most important part of the body comparing feet to the roots of a tree. He imports the Shea butter for his treatment straight from Ghana. You'll get more than a spa treatment when you meet Nana as he is a wealth of information in the herbal field. He will share stories with you about his homeland as he methodically goes through the process of pampering your "roots'' with an authentic nature.

The Spa offers several other unique services too. From pampering that last hours and involves the use of water to shorter ritual treatments such as massage, facials, nails, waxing, and makeup. If you don't have time for a treatment they offer natural products for face, hands, feet, and body as well as tea supplies in their global marketplace at the entrance of the spa. Gift certificates and cards are also available for you or a loved one. Pregnancy packages including pre and post-natal massages are a popular offering.
