Aveda Mission Statement

History of Body Matters Day Spa
Body Matters, an
Aveda Concept Day Spa and Retail Center, is located in Middletown
Rhode Island, just outside of historic Newport.
We have operated in the same location since 1995, and have expanded
several times bringing our current space to 2,400 square feet which
includes 6 treatment rooms, a private Swiss shower, a guest waiting
area, changing room with lockers, and a relaxation room.
Body
Matters Day Spa began as a skin care center, but quickly expanded our
spa focus to include nail and massage services.
We currently offer a complete menu of services including facials,
cosmetics, natural nail care manicures and pedicures, massage,
wellness treatments, and body treatments. Body Matters is an escape
from the stresses of life; it is a source of nurturing services with
caring people in a quiet environment.
In
May 2008, we renovated our 500 square foot Retail and Reception
Center in which we carry the full line of Aveda skin, body, and hair
products.
This allowed us to enhance the product displays and to eliminate
excessive noise from the treatment area in order to provide our
guests with a more relaxing spa experience.
