July 5 2008
Dear Suzanne

Thank you and Shannon. I have visited many spas and never have been treated with such respect and professionalism. My visit addressed my skin and back concerns (one of the best treatments I have ever had). You both gave me the space to be able to totally relax and I feel that I was in the care of caring professional therapists.
Thank you again and I will be back soon and often.

Regards,

Holly – Washington DC

Dear Tee

…Fountains Day Spa satisfied my expectations and exceeded my sisters.
We both came to Fountains very sad because my cousin was killed that morning and Fountains Day Spa allowed us to forget about his untimely death for a few precious hours.
For that we are eternally grateful.

Warmly,

Chemayn – Washington DC

Just a quick note to say how much Jen and I enjoyed the Couples instruction class last week! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of massage and general god health and wellness. We found the session to be as enjoyable as it was educational!

The quickest of notes to thank you for finding room in Saturday's schedule for Edith and me to have facials. It was a wonderful start to our day which we thoroughly enjoyed in Old Town.
I do hope it won't be as long before I return!

Dear Suzanne

I wanted to thank you all so much for such an enjoyable experience! My boyfriend bought me a package for my 44th birthday and I redeemed it this past Monday. Faye is a wonderful massage therapist and I would highly recommend your spa to others! I hope I get the opportunity to visit your spa again in the near future. My boyfriend got word of his deployment the evening after we got home.so i am going to try to treat him to a massage before he has to go to Iraq. I think he will need it and enjoy it.

Dear Suzanne

A treatment with you is a total mind and body expereince.  Your caring and kindness touch both components.  Your awareness of your spiritual attributes is so vital that it is invigorating on many levels.  I never expected a businesswoman to be such a positive spiritual force.
Thank you

Fountains is a wonderfully personal, private oasis where we come to seek comfort from laying on of the hands. It's an amazing refuge & I don't know why anyone would go to a larger spa when they could spend time with all the great staff at Fountains. It is the very best of the best!

Since you always say nice things about me…I thought I would take the time to compliment one of your employees. Just wanted to let you know that it was a pleasure working with Shannon yesterday. I can really tell that she cares about what she is doing, is knowledgeable, and warm spirited.  It was such a treat to work with someone of that caliber and she is a wonderful addition to the spa.  She is the epitome of a “Fountainesse.” Sincerely.

I had the most enjoyable and amazing healing, massage session with you in September. I am interested in having another great experience. I am interested in The Stress Buster. I know you don't usually work on clients, but wondered if you were filling in for anyone this next week. Thanks so much.

I could tell that Suzanne was an expert in skin care and she gave me very useful tips.  Renee was also very knowledgeable in massage therapy. I was surprised she could get the knots out of my tense back! I felt like my skin was glowing after my facial. With prior facials I had alot of redness and irritation.
Thanks for a very relaxing girls day out last Saturday.  The three of us really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back-

Francis is AMAZING!!!

I agree with the other reviewer that Francis is the man to see at Fountains. He literally changed my skin and he is the most kind, gentle man. He is a skin GENIUS!!!

The best facial in town

From WashingtonPost.com
Posted by ann richard on Jul 23, 2006

I have been going to the Fountains for facials for many years. Francis is absolutely the best -- you will not get a better treatment anywhere -- not in L.A. or NY, not on a luxury cruise ship, not at a 4-star resort. Francis works on your face for the entire time of the treatment and does not abandon his clients to steam or hot towels. Totally amazing!

Thank you for recommending the Super Hydradermie facial last night. I woke up this morning and peered in the mirror and my skin looks beautiful!! I'm going to have to look at myself every time I pass a mirror today. =) My pores look so much better, and there isn't any redness from the cleaning on my nose. Not to mention my skin feels so soft. I feel like I'm radiating. =))
Thank you again for all of your great information and a super treatment!
Sincerely,

I just wanted to share this with you. I was given a gift cert for RedDoorSpa & they don't compare to the services I've received at your salon. It is way overpriced & definitely didn't feel nearly as personal or interactive as with your people. I wouldn't spend my own $ there...& if I had, I would've been very disappointed. I wanted to thank you for making everything about your salon so wonderful and comfortable and reasonably priced!

Hello dear people

I hope you will remember the 4 women who spent a wonderful day at your spa last September. We were there to celebrate our dear friend, Emily's, end of cancer treatment. Unfortunately shortly after.... within a matter of weeks.... the cancer came back with a vengeance. Emily passed away last weekend after a 2 year courageous battle.
Our girlfriend weekend was one of the highlights of her life.... we had all been friends since we were 9............................ 44 years!!! So there were many highlights but that weekend was superb.
Thank you for making it such an incredible experience for us all.
Peace

To Whom It May Concern

I spent the afternoon at your spa on Friday April 23, 2004 for the “Morning of Beauty.” I did not have cash on me and was unable to pay the tips to the three people who made my day so relaxing. Please divide my tip three ways.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you

Dear Suzanne

Since becoming your client 25 years ago, I have traveled the world.
Whether I am in London, Moscow or Beijing, you are still the best!
People think I am 45 instead of 65 thanks to you.
Your caring and encouragement over the past 25 years have taught me the importance of nurturing the body, mind and soul.

I have an appointment today with Suzanne at the Fountains Day Spa, and I want to share my thoughts with you. I know that I will limp into the spa, feeling dried up, wrinkled and generally ‘down at the heels’. The minute I enter the salon, I will be surrounded by healing warmth and will be calmed by the soothing peace and quiet. Suzanne will greet me with a delicious hug, and my healing will begin. By the time my treatments finish, I will be totally relaxed, my skin will have a new glow, my spirit will be soaring and I will be as always, eternally grateful to Suzanne.
I have been going to Suzanne for many years and it just gets better every time. When I first met Suzanne, spas were not a part of my life. She was my introduction and I thank the fates for allowing our paths to cross. Anyone who discovers the Fountains Day Spa is indeed a very lucky person.

Dear Suzanne

As this is the beginning of a New Year, I felt it was a good time to write and tell you what the Fountains means to me.
I have been coming to you for almost twenty years now. What you have created at The Fountains is very special. From the moment one enters the door you and your staff treat each client with such warmth, care and dedication to making their visit an enjoyable experience.
Your treatments are superb, and I like the way you so often tailor them to the individual client. The ambiance is wonderful and you spare no energy in making everyone as comfortable and feeling relaxed as possible.
Of course I cannot say enough good things about the Guinot products – they are just simply the best!
I commend you Suzanne, on your competent staff, which have also acquired your warmth and incredible aptitude in making everyone feel so good after their visit.
I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year and I look forward to many more special pampering visits to your Day Spa.

I've been enjoying facials from the staff at The Fountains Day Spa for over 25 years. Moving a hundred miles away hasn't stopped me from continuing my monthly visits, either. Getting pampered at The Fountains has always been a treat, but an even greater treat is hearing people gasp in disbelief when they learn my age.

Thank You for the services and kindness you all provided. (My toes are still painted and look sexy.) The salon Francis recommended was a great choice. My hair looks totally fabulous. I got lucky- traffic was not that bad on the drive home. To top the evening off I came to home to an arrangement of all kind of flowers and a red velvet birthday cake- imagine that. My handsome hubby is just awesome!! I had a relaxing time and a marvelous day. I hope you all have a splendid weekend. I look forward to coming back.

Fountains Day Spa

Craniosacral Therapy saved my life both physically and emotionally. Melinda Naff, Suzanne Olsen & The Fountains Day Spa are miracle workers. I have been receiving treatments for about a year and a half.
When I discovered Melinda I had a carpal tunnel like problem with my left thumb that caused severe pain up my arm and rendered my left hand useless. I was about to schedule surgery to cut the sheath on my thumb to relieve the pain. At that time I also had severe pain in the ball of my left foot. I had taken cortisone shots, limped and heels were a thing of the past.
I first went to Melinda simply for a massage to help me relax. She did her magic and I left, not cured, but able to remove the brace from my hand and the pain was greatly reduced. Over about a six-month period she was able to heal the pain in my hand completely. I now have full use of my hand and arm.
Now that I could use crutches I scheduled surgery for my foot. I continued my work with Melinda and she focused on my legs and feet. I got almost immediate relief and could actually feel the calcium deposit breaking up in my foot. Today I can wear heels again. The pain does come back and I know that what I need to do is stretch out my muscles. I believe that my hand and my foot problems were due to stress and extremely tight muscles and blocked energy in my leg and knee. Melinda and Craniosacral Therapy released these blockages.
I am so very thankful that I discovered Melinda. Can’t even imagine what my life would be like if I had continued down the path of pain.
Suzanne is truly a giver of light who has put together a team of experts in skincare & massage treatments that equal any Spa worldwide. As a retired Admiral in the U.S. Navy I have frequented many spas in the world and the Fountains Day Spa is number one.

Dear Suzanne

The wonderful massage you gave me September 20th helped me arrive for my knee surgery in a peaceful and relaxed state. I felt so good after the massage and really like the heated stones you are now using. You definitely have a calming and healing effect on my body.
To recover I’m spending lot’s of time in the pool doing exercises and swimming .I am fortunate that Fairfax County has great recreation centers and I use their pool, leg press and bicycle. It is taking lots of time but I want to do my part to make a full recovery.
Thanks for the great massage and for your good wishes. I do think the mind and body need to work together and I’m sure arriving for surgery in a calm and happy state was important.
I’ll be back for more peace, calm , relaxation, and healing. When I’m ready to take a break from this exercise schedule.
Namaste,

Marsha - Fairfax, Virginia

Dear Suzanne

It occurred to me that I have never expressed my gratitude to you for all the wonderful support you have given me over the years.
From the first day to today you have always greeted me with care and respect. I continue to come back not only because you are the best of your profession, but because you are so real and communicate in such a natural way.
I also want you to know how very touched I was of your gift to me of a facial just before I got married.
A mere thank you just isn’t adequate to cover your generosity of sprit all these years, but I hope it will do.
