Dear (Contact First Name),Floating Stone Staff 

 

Happy Valentineʼs Month:

 

Just asTubac and the Floating Stone are being noticed by such magazines and newspapers as Sunset Magazine, the Green Valley News, and Natural
Awakenings
, we are currently receiving and welcoming investment offers from people who have an interest in taking the Floating Stone to its next level of development. If you or someone you know has an interest, please call (707 217-6675).

 

We have a few weekend events coming up through the beginning of March including my own session on David Bohmʼs "Dialogue"; Anne Baldwinʼs Reiki and Dr.Aris LaThamʼs "My Sunfired Foods." These all begin Friday night and end Sunday at noon. If you are attending from out-of-the area, we are offering a 10% discount on our rooms and a 30% discount on any of our spa services (from existing spa menu.) If you add this all up, you will be getting an amazing weekend package.  And, we also have a special lodging promotion running through the end of February that gives you 2 nights for the price of 1.  

 

 

On the service side of our business, if you have not had an aqua massage by Adrianne Stelzenmuller, you have not known Bliss!!  She combines the flowing sensation of Watsu with her intuitive deep-tissue massage skills. At one point, when I had a session with her this week, I thought she had 4 hands. If you want a good sleep and an extraordinary experience, book Adrianne for an hour of aqua massage.

  

For a special Valentine's date with your special someone, consider booking a coupleʼFloating Stone Massage and FloatYou will no longer know what stress means and it is a one-of-a kind treatment that you will long remember.  

 

This year at the Tubac Art Festival, Feb. 8-12, the Floating Stone massage staff will be outside the Tubac Deli giving out to 10 minute free massagesYouʼll be able to pick up "2 for 1" passes to our Aqua Spa (a value of $50 for $25). If youʼre thirsty and want to come for a visit, weʼll also be giving out free Alkalline/Ionized water in front of the Floating Stone and are happy to give you a tour of our 5 pools and historic lodging. We may even have some live music during the festival from time to time. Come by and visit.

 

We wish you all the best that this time of the year always brings to our Tubac arts community.

 

 

Sincerely, Linda Ellinor

Owner of The Floating Stone Inn & Aqua Spa

Ahhhh-qua massage

 

While soaking in your 

double-filtered, ionized pool at the new Floating Stone Inn and Aqua Spa, you might ask: 

 

Does it get any better than this? Before you answer, try 50 minutes of gravity free stretching that helps joint and nerve decompression. 

 

Or a water massage with someone gently kneading the stress points in your neck and back. Um, what was the question again?
