Located just one block from the Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa, Wrapture Spa & Boutique was founded by RMT (registered massage therapist) Vicki Watson, who put down roots in Moose Jaw’s historic downtown and created an ideal venue for a wide range of spa treatments.
This year marks the spa’s 25th anniversary.
On Tuesday, Nov. 28, Wrapture Spa & Boutique will celebrate its anniversary with an open-house sampling event. “(We’re planning to do) a massage and reflexology treatment combined,” Watson said.
At the event, guests can sample a variety of the spa’s products and services, including craniosacral holds, chair massages, mini facials, and small makeovers. Guests will also be able to learn some techniques behind matching foundation and contouring. “All the rage in the industry right now is learning how to contour,” Watson added.
“We are a full-service day spa. We’ve been providing massage therapy and relaxation spa services in Moose Jaw since 1998,” she explained. “We do all kinds of aesthetic services, including organic skincare. We do a lot of facials and body treatments, (and) only (use) organic skincare (products).”
“We do hot stone massages, therapeutic massages, cupping, prenatal massages, and all kinds of modalities within the massage umbrella. That has been very close to my heart because I am an RMT myself for over 30 years,” she said.
A few other services include manicures and gel nails, waxing, lifestyle and weight management programs, and makeup, which includes bridal makeup and makeup lessons.
During the pandemic, the spa began an online facial workshop and additional virtual lessons. “We would send (our clients) the products and then go through how to use them and why,” explained Watson.
The spa can also provide a perfect night out with your significant other. “We have, over the years, done couples massage, teaching couples how to do a massage on one another comfortably,” Watson said. These courses teach couples how to properly target sore hands or shoulders and how to carry this out using good body mechanics.
What sets Wrapture Spa & Boutique apart is the people behind the business.
“We have some really experienced, passionate people working with our company who have been here for a long time,” Watson said. “Our massage therapists, for example, are really experienced – we have some that have 12 years of experience and so many classes under their belts that they bring a level of service to the industry that is, I think, unsurpassed.”
The business is run out of a downtown heritage building with an atmosphere rich in history, and Watson said many clients come from all over to meet in Moose Jaw to have a spa weekend.
“We always try to bring it back to what’s essential to wellness. Organic beauty is always important to me because there are so many chemicals out in the world and people put it all over your skin, and your skin pulls it all in,” Watson said, noting that she plans to grow this side of the business to evolve with essential wellness trends.
All the spa’s products – or as many as humanly possible – feature clean, organic goods.
“We do find the cleanest products that we can… because I believe that’s really important to people’s health. From deodorant to skincare to makeup, we have the cleanest products that you can possibly find,” Watson said.
“Another important part for me… is working with suppliers who are kind to the environment. They are making a difference in the world. We really try to partner (exclusively) with companies that are ethical (and environmentally sustainable).”
One of these companies is Eminence Organic Skincare, who supplies over 120 top-quality products addressing a wide variety of skin types and conditions. All the supplier’s packaging is compostable right down to the packing peanuts, which are water-soluble and made of corn.
For every Eminence product sold, Watson said the supplier plants a tree, and since Wrapture started carrying the product, the equivalent of around 10 Mosaic Stadiums worth of trees have been planted.
“By partnering with them, we can make a difference in our little community. That’s really important to me,” Watson said.
Wrapture Spa & Boutique also has an app where clients can keep track of their Bliss Bucks reward points and it’s the easiest way to book your next spa appointment. To download the ‘Wrapture Spa & Boutique’ app, visit the Apple Store or the Play Store for Android devices.
“Long-term customers become just like your family. I’ve seen some people have their kids, and their kids have their kids. It’s such an important part of what we do here – relationships,” Watson expressed. “(W)e’re just really grateful that people put their trust in us so we can do what we do to help make them feel better, so they can go do what they do.”
