Ep # 146 How A Manhattan Spa Owner Reimagined Wellness In New Jersey

A great neighborhood spa isn’t built on fancy buzzwords—it’s built on skill, trust, and a calm space you can count on. We sit down with Susan, owner of Esteem Green Life Spa in downtown Closter, to share how she transformed years of Manhattan experience into a local wellness hub known for clean practices, fair pricing, and results you can feel. From Swedish and deep tissue to Chinese tuina and lymphatic drainage, Susan explains how to match the right massage to the problem you’re trying to solve, whether it’s nagging neck pain, stress headaches, or full-body burnout.

Curious about head spa therapy? Susan breaks down her water-circulation scalp treatment that combines gentle washing, steam, and focused scalp massage to ease migraines, calm the nervous system, and melt away screen-time stress. It’s not a salon shampoo; it’s an hour of deep, restorative care designed to reset your mind and body. We also talk about why she sold her Midtown spa after COVID, opened close to her Harrington Park home, and still consults in the city while keeping Closter as the heart of her work.

You’ll hear how memberships, packages, and seasonal promotions make weekly wellness realistic, why monthly staff training and strict cleanliness standards matter, and what truly sets a neighborhood spa apart. If you’re weighing a couples massage, exploring lymphatic drainage, or finally ready to try a head spa, this conversation will help you choose with confidence.
