DISCOVER the Finest Spa in Gensan
F
inally, an elegant spa to soothe your passion for luxury and pampering right in the heart of the city.
This is Gwapaha Medical Spa. Yes, not just an ordinary spa. It is a medical spa. When Dr. Teresita Ferrariz thought of putting up a health resort in the city, she wanted to give her town folks world class services inspired by her numerous travels around the world. More than two decades of practice as one of the top dermatologists in the country today, Dr. Tess says it is time to give back to the city of her childhood. Dr. Tess, also vice president of the Philippine Academy of Dermatologic Surgery Foundation, Inc. (PASDSFI), used to spend a week each month in General Santos City to check on her patients and clients who have grown in numbers throughout the years when not in her Makati clinic or on one of her constant travels abroad. She thought of moving to a bigger clinic. She instead ended up putting a medical spa. A place where one gets to get the skin care they need and a place where they can indulge in the luxury and privacy of a spa like no other in the city. The added silver lining to it? Dr. Tess now spends more of her clinic time here. Do not be fooled by the cramp but chic reception of this exquisitely named spa. Behind the reception desk at the entrance is a spacious 30-square meter of elegantly designed massage therapy room that has a generous tub, a hot and cold shower and a smoked glass-enclosed steam bath one finds only in the best saunas and health spas in the world. Gwapaha Medical Spa offers a very personalized service by foreigntrained health therapists and exclusive use of the room that has three massage beds. The mood inside can be tailored to one’s tastes – ranging from the aroma, essences and essential oils to the tone of the lighting and tune of soft piped in music. You can even play your own sweet and sexy music from your flash disk. Dr. Tess prides her spa as a dream skin care and health clinic and guarantees a reinvigorating and refreshing finish after a session. Be pampered with the wide array of relaxing massages and the house’s signature Gwapaha Massage – where the East blends with the West – a fusion of deep tissue techniques that includes Thai stretching and Hawaiian Lomi using a blend of ginger, rosemary, and peppermint
essential oils. The couple package that includes therapy For Him (foot spa and sports massage), For Her (coffee body scrub and a combination massage) are a treat to remember. And be spoiled with the spa’s Bathing Ritual (salt body scrub, milk bath, and Gwapaha’s signature massage). Body Beautiful (foot spa, seaweed body scrub, and anti-aging facial) is equally rewarding. For personal pampering treats, Gwapaha offers body treatments such as Salt & Aloe Vera Body Scrub, Davao Coffee Body Scrub, Seaweed Marine Body Care by Algotherm™, Anti Cellulite Firming Body Treatment by Algotherm™, as well as Facials by Biodroga™, Nourishing & Oxygenating Facial, Anti Aging Phyto Stem Cell Facial, and Men’s Vitality Facial.
