Pure bliss is how I would describe my experience at SpaBeca (357 Towne Center Blvd., Suite 101, Ridgeland, 601-977-8401). This hidden gem opened in 2005, and it offers a tranquil atmosphere with friendly service and experienced massage therapists.

When I first arrived for my appointment, I was greeted at the door and escorted back to a softly lit room with plush couches to wait for my massage to begin. My therapist, Crystal, had magic hands. I entered that day in knots—stressed from all that comes with being a working mom, wife, sister, friend, etc.—and left feeling divine from head to toe.

The mission of the spa, in the words of owner Rebecca Canzoneri is, "Massage is more than a luxury. It is a beautiful way to relax, release tension and soothe away the stress of everyday living."

SpaBeca offers deep Swedish massage, deep-tissue therapeutic, prenatal, postpartum, myofascial release, sports massage, neuromuscular, scalp massage, Reiki, Indian head massage, hot stone, aromatherapy, couples massage and reflexology. Some of its signature treatments include detoxification facials, whole body sonic vibration, full-body scrubs, Far Infrared BodyWrap, hydro-massage and massage with RainDrop technique.

SpaBeca not only caters to the individual, but to wedding parties, couples and mother-daughter duos. It also offers special packages, coupons, gift certificates and deals.
