For eight years, Sunlight Day Spa in Overland Park, Kansas, has been a leader in helping men and women find wellness and vitality by providing a variety of natural therapies. Referred to as KC’s premier healing spa, Sunlight Day Spa offers Sunlighten™ purifying treatments that provide natural detoxification through full-spectrum infrared therapy.

At Sunlight Day Spa, we offer holistic healing of the body through a variety of exclusive, specialty therapies. We call it ‘hometown healing,’” revealed Kate Callaway, Sunlight Day Spa manager. “Our most popular, natural treatments include our Sunlighten 3-in-1 purifying treatments because clients can customize treatments to their desired result. Sunlighten infrared treatments are a natural non-invasive way to purify, slenderize and energize the body. It’s completely natural–no medication or surgery.”

But to be a leader in wellness and vitality, Sunlight Day Spa continues to add new opportunities for healing to the impressive menu of services. The staff is incredibly excited to announce two new holistic treatments involving different types of energy healing.

Reiki Healing

Sunlight Day Spa is the only place in Kansas City that offers Reiki. Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing practice used to move life force energy to restore balance in the individual. A powerful non-intrusive tool for health and longevity, a Reiki treatment at Sunlight Day Spa reduces stress and offers impressive relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki treats the whole person, not just your physical body, but your emotions, mind and spirit, too. It positively impacts the client with intense relaxation and feelings of harmony, sanctuary and happiness. “Clients who have a Reiki treatment return to have it done again and again,” noted Kate. “It’s such an incredible healing therapy.”

The concept with Reiki states that everyone has “life force energy” flowing through our bodies. If your life force energy is high, you’re more likely to be happy and healthy. If your life force energy is low, then you run the risk of getting sick or feeling stress. “The Reiki therapy is my absolute favorite because it combines energy work and healing,” shared Kate. “The therapist will massage or touch key points in your body or hover over you with their hands as they open energy pathways and enable them to pulse together. A treatment feels like a glowing warmth moving through and around you. You can actually experience a shift in the room as your blood starts flowing more clearly.”

Raindrop Therapy

This spring, Sunlight Day Spa introduced Raindrop Therapy to its list of services. The Raindrop technique combines the art of aromatherapy with massage, essential oils and Vita Flex to bring the body back into structural and electrical alignment. Vita Flex is used to activate reflex points on various areas of the body and it can be very effective in delivering the benefits of the oils throughout the body.

These therapeutic-grade essential oils are applied to the spine and neck. The oils are actually dropped from about six inches above your spine, and the sensation mimics raindrops gently striking your body. It is very relaxing and comforting. A session lasts 30 or 60 minutes but the benefits may last up to a week or more.

“During a Raindrop treatment, you’re face down on the table and a series of essential oils are dropped on your spine in a strategic sequence that’s designed to open energy pathways in the body,” remarked Kate. “The therapist will apply slight pressure, moving down your body and pressing in certain areas to maximize the impact of the aromatherapy. Raindrop Therapy is designed to elevate your mood and reenergize your body.”

Maximize with Purifying Treatment

To gain maximum benefit, Kate recommends that either of these new treatments be paired with a Sunlighten Purifying Treatment. A deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level is one of the best things you can do to get and stay healthy. This is achieved through quality infrared therapy. Infrared light, experienced as heat, is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum with the ability to penetrate deeply into the joints, muscles and tissues to produce a detoxifying sweat.

Only Sunlighten™ purifying treatments are clinically backed for a variety of health benefits. These infrared treatments precisely target specific health benefits, which include weight loss, anti-aging, detoxification, heart health, cell health, wound healing and pain relief.

The world surrounds us with toxins, and numerous health issues stem from this toxic overload. Many people in Kansas City turn to Sunlight Day Spa to rid their bodies of these toxins and begin the healing process. The staff at Sunlight Day Spa is always looking for opportunities to make a difference and help their customers make positive habits a priority in their life. The newly expanded menu of services is just another way Sunlight Day Spa delivers on its reputation of hometown healing. HLM
