ELLE’s black book of Toronto’s top spots to get scrubbed, buffed and massaged into blissful submission.
ULTRA INSIDER
Jane Nyland, janenyland@hotmail.com
Bubbly British expat Jane Nyland runs her referral-only holistic spa out of her charming Rosedale flat. A best-kept secret among Toronto’s elite, her loyal list of clients love the intimate vibe and customized menu. Wealthy wives and their Bay Street beaus sip freshly brewed hibiscus tea while Nyland sizes up their skincare needs to develop individually tailored treatments.
Signature treatment: The holistic facial (extraction-free for ultimate relaxation) includes a steam, mistings of fragrant aromatherapeutic waters and a massage with hand-blended essential oils. Perfect for socialites seeking a Sunday-morning detox, the locally-sourced, organic wild seaweed body wrap has the power to reenergize and cancel out a night’s worth of Caipirinhas at the Brazilian Ball.
Bonus: Can't part with your Yorkie? Bring them along to hang with Monty and Stella, Nyland’s laid-back, dog-friendly cats who curl up on the cozy couches next to blissed-out clients between treatments.
