Great Jones Spa Announces Grand Opening Date

Luxurious new 15,000 square foot holistic spa will open in downtown Manhattan on October 20, 2004, creating a new destination for those seeking total beauty through inner harmony and balance.

(PRWEB) October 3, 2004 -- The Great Jones Spa announced today that it will be opening its new 15,000 square foot holistic co-ed spa facility at 29 Great Jones Street on October 20, 2004.

After 25 years of owning and operating health and wellness businesses in New York, I felt there was too strong a focus on superficial beauty", says spa director and general manager, Donna M. Creagh. Donna thought New York City lacked a spa with a real sense of community and dedication towards total well-being. Her idea was to create a place that provides high quality services while helping clients take steps to bring more balance into their lives. Donna believes, Beauty is about more than clear skin or fewer wrinkles. When I see someone who is really beautiful, I see a person whose life is balanced inside and out. Thats our philosophy at Great Jones Spa."
