The Healing Power of a Handcrafted Foot Soak Massage (and Why Your Feet Deserve It)

Our Foot Soaks

Experience the best Foot Soak Asheville has to offer. Discover the benefits of handcrafted foot soaks + massage at Skin Spa Asheville.

When life gets busy, it’s usually not our shoulders or our neck that tell the truth first—it’s our feet.

They carry us through long workdays, trips, workouts, errands, weddings, travel, and everything in between… and yet they’re often the most overlooked part of self-care.

At Skin Spa {Asheville}, we created our Handcrafted Foot Soak Lounge experience to give tired feet the treatment they truly deserve: warmth, minerals, herbs, aromatherapy, exfoliation, and massage—all in a cozy spa setting designed to help your nervous system finally exhale.

If you’re craving something deeply relaxing but don’t have time for a full spa day, a handcrafted foot soak with massage is one of the most restorative services you can book.

Why Foot Soaks and Massage Feel So Good (It’s Not Just “Pampering”)

A foot soak massage is more than a luxury—it's a wellness ritual.

Your feet contain thousands of nerve endings, muscles, and connective tissues. When stress builds up, your body often holds tension in the legs and feet without you even noticing. The moment your feet are immersed in warm water, something changes: the body shifts out of “go mode” and into relaxation mode.

Many clients describe it as that instant melting feeling—like the whole body relaxes at once.

That’s because warm foot soaking can support:

  • overall relaxation and reduced stress

  • improved circulation

  • relief from tired, aching feet and lower legs

  • a sense of calm, grounding, and re-centering

What Makes Our Foot Soak Massage Different

There are foot soaks… and then there’s a Skin Spa Asheville Handcrafted Foot Soak.

In our Foot Soak Lounge, your feet are gently immersed in warm water enhanced with skin-loving and mood-lifting ingredients such as:

Shea Butter
Essential oils
Pink sea salts
French green clay
Dried herbs

This isn’t a “basic soak”—it’s an intentional blend designed to feel like a spa ritual from the moment you sit down.

The soak is offered in a social spa lounge setting, making it perfect for:

  • girlfriends’ day out

  • mother-daughter spa visits

  • bachelorette groups

  • couples who want a shared wellness experience

  • locals who need a reset after a long week

The Massage Benefits of a Foot Soak

Once the feet are softened and warmed, massage becomes even more effective.

Foot massage can help:

  • release muscle tension in the feet and calves

  • reduce swelling and inflammation in tired feet

  • ease discomfort from long days standing or walking

  • support mobility and comfort

  • promote relaxation from head to toe

Many guests are surprised how much tension they’ve been holding in their feet—and how light their whole body feels afterward.

An Add-On That Elevates Any Massage or Facial

One of the best parts of our Foot Soak Massage experience is that it can be paired with other services for a full-body glow.

Our foot soak is available as an add-on after your massage or facial, and we also offer additional foot-focused treatments such as:

Soothing Foot Treatment

Includes a foot scrub, warm towels, and a generous massage—a client favorite for dry winter feet and travel-weary legs.

You’ll leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and incredibly relaxed—like you took an entire day off.

Perfect for Visitors… and a Must for Locals

If you’re visiting Asheville, your feet are probably working overtime—walking downtown, exploring trails, shopping, brewery hopping, wedding weekends, and travel days.

And if you’re a local? You’re likely balancing work, responsibilities, and stress like everyone else.

Either way, our handcrafted foot soak massage is one of the easiest ways to:
✅ reset your mood
✅ calm your body
✅ restore your energy
✅ treat yourself without committing to an all-day spa experience

It’s the perfect “mini vacation.”

5 Reasons To Book A Couples Massage In Asheville NC

No matter if you're a visitor or a local in Asheville, it's important to find time to relax and rejuvenate. Treating yourself and your partner to a couples massage in Asheville, NC, offers a perfect opportunity to unwind and strengthen your bond.

Whether you are just visiting our fair city or you call Asheville home, everyone needs to take some time to relax and rejuvenate. Booking a couples massage in Asheville NC can be a fantastic way to unwind and reconnect with your partner.

 

Tucked in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville offers a serene and picturesque backdrop for a soothing massage experience. Imagine escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life, immersing yourselves in the tranquility of a luxurious spa, and letting skilled therapists work their magic. Here are five compelling reasons why a couples massage in Asheville NC should be at the top of your list for a memorable and revitalizing retreat.

 

1. Enjoy Quality Time Together

How often do you really have an hour or two where it’s just you and no distractions? A couple’s massage allows you to spend uninterrupted time together, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It truly provides you with a quiet moment for just the two of you and this can improve your bond and enhance intimacy.

 

2. Relieve Stress & Anxiety

Life can feel relentless at times, and stress and anxiety take a heavy toll on our bodies and minds. A massage experience can help you fully relax and shed away your cares, and even if it’s just for an hour or so, this can leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

 

3. Massage Promotes Wellness

If you’ve been thinking about making some life changes, in terms of wellness, a couples’ massage can be a great starting point. A massage at our Asheville day spa can truly jumpstart a new healthy regimen as it not only reduces stress, it also can improve circulation, enhance immune function and even boost mental clarity. Massage also can stimulate the lymphatic system, helping the body remove toxins more efficiently.

 

4. Massage Enhances Communication

A couples massage can enhance communication between partners by providing a peaceful environment where they can relax together without distractions. This shared experience fosters a sense of connection and trust, encouraging open and honest dialogue.

 

As stress and tension melt away, partners often feel more at ease and receptive, making it easier to express feelings and thoughts. Additionally, the act of prioritizing each other's well-being can reinforce mutual care and understanding, laying the groundwork for improved communication in their relationship.

5. A Couples’ Massage Creates Special Memories

When you look back at shared moments, an Asheville massage treatment can stand out as an amazing experience. This will be a memorable time that you can look back on fondly for years to come, and hopefully, if this is your first massage, it will encourage you to continue with regular massage sessions and enjoy all of the health benefits these treatments provide.

 

Keep in mind, that a “couples” massage also can be a great option for friends traveling together. A spa treat can be the perfect way to celebrate your friendship and add a little relaxation to a weekend friends’ getaway. Additionally, if you are traveling with several people, feel free to ask about our group massage packages that might be ideal for 2-4 people.

 

Our Massage Options

At Skin Spa Asheville, we offer an assortment of customized massage treatments, based on your needs. For instance, if you want a deep tissue massage in Asheville, we can provide you with that relaxing option. Other options include Swedish massage, neuromuscular massage, hot stone massage, myofascial and more.

 

One unique option is our Bamboo Fusion Massage. Bamboo therapy has been shown to reduce muscle tension and boost relaxation throughout your entire body. We use warm bamboo sticks to soften the outer layer of your muscles and this helps your massage therapist penetrate more deeply into the areas of your body that hold tension.

 

Just let us know your areas of concern, and we can create custom massage treatments that address your relaxing and wellness goals. We offer both 90-minute massage treatments and 60-minute massage sessions, and both include hot towels and a therapeutic blend of oils that are used to reduce inflammation and improve circulation.

 

We offer some fun massage add-ons, as well. For instance, you can add aromatherapy treatments or pink salt stones to any massage or perhaps request a muscle-relaxing cream. Reflexology is another popular massage add-on that we offer. This is a therapeutic treatment that involves applying pressure to specific points on your hands, feet or ears. It is believed that these pressure points correspond to various organ systems in the body.

 

We also offer an assortment of Asheville spa packages that include massage. For instance, our Appalachian Couples Getaway is a two-hour package that includes a 60-minute body treatment and a 60-minute aromatherapy facial. We also include delectable local chocolates for an extra treat.

 

The body treatment could be either a massage, such as our Swedish massage with mud mask back treatment or perhaps our amazing Salt Glow Body Scrub. This is a full-body therapeutic salt scrub exfoliation followed by an application of our signature Aloe & Azulene Hydrating Mask. We also use steamy towels and a warming blanket as well as providing you with a relaxing head, back and shoulder massage.

 

This is just one of our many spa packages that could be a perfect option for a couple’s massage in Asheville NC. Whichever package you choose, we promise that you will leave our Asheville spa feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and closer as a couple.
