Sweet Cherry Spa’s space is a dark and warm: proudly nicknamed “Thunder Bay’s Only Goth Spa”. We love Halloween and are a bit silly but away from the colours and theme all spa service stations are kept to Thunder Bay Health Unit standards.

Have a listen to our spa playlist below. Relaxing and Calm Instrumental. Haunting and eerie ambient music to help you relax and unwind. Acoustic and slowed down covers of our favourite heavy metal songs. If you want to request music feel free to! We love all music.

Our space is a all inclusive, diverse, gender neutral and accessible welcoming. All services are done with disabilities, neuro-divergency and ergonomics in mind.

WHAT PRODUCT DO YOU USE?

Only the best product lines are used in the spa.  I ensure that all products are eco-friendly, vegan, cruelty-free, Canadian-made (when possible), mineral-based, and more. Following our Safe, Smart, and Sweet standards, we want to ensure that the products we’re using and selling are good for you and the planet.

Safe – Dermatologist-tested, eco-friendly products are the best way to include all skin types, sensitivities, and lifestyle choices. All my products are cancer treatment, maternity and child friendly.

Smart – If I can’t tell what’s in it, neither can you. I make sure that I know all active and inactive ingredients in my products to make sure nothing will create new issues.

Sweet – Cruelty-free products are kind to our animal friends and kind to us. All smells from products are light and sweet, and no added perfumes.
