Detoxify. Invigorate. Replenish. Exfoliate. Gaia Day Spa loves to make its clients feel and look their best, naturally. The spa knows that it’s paradoxical to treat your body with poisons, and therefore most Gaia treatments are organic.

The owners have trekked the globe to bring to most innovative body services to La Jolla, such as the Russian Banya and the Thai Luk Pra.

Facials are tailored to each specific skin type and include pure ingredients that sound good enough to eat, like sour cherry, mixed fruit pulps, apricot, rosehip and maize, and lime and paprika.

In many treatments, essences and herbs are massaged into your body for maximum moisturizing and refreshment. Because Gaia values the spiritual along with the physical, by the time you leave, you’ll be glowing inside as well as outside.
