Redwood Beauty and Wellness

If you’re still looking for more ways to add health and wellness into your life then Redwood Beauty and Wellness is your go to. I had the Infrared Detox and it was the burn I needed to continue towards my goals. This detox can be used as a reset or for maintenance.

Before you Go to Redwood Beauty and Wellness

They have more than just the infrared detox to offer. Look at all of their services and choose the right one. If you have questions always one call them to get the answers you need but also consult with your doctors. There is plenty of on street parking. My appointment was at 330 and I parked right in front of the building. When I left at almost 6pm parking was readily available.

Depending on your appointment is how you want to come dressed or prepared. For the detox wear loose clothing. I wore my leggings that were a little more snug and form fitting. I would consider that an epic fail. When you’re done even with wiping down you may still sweat. Putting leggings on with a semi wet body is not what you want to do. Drink plenty of water. The detox will take so much out of you. Drink your water! They will also give you water before you start.

Infrared Detox

This is a burn that you need. It will burn 2000 calories. It helps with the aches and pains that we feel in our body. The detox is doing its job but releasing the toxins we have in our body. Many afterwards don’t want to eat or indulge in their normal cravings. The heat of the infrared is hot. It’s manageable. Keep in mind there could be spots on your body that is more uncomfortable than others. For instance the back of my right leg burned a little more than any other part of my body. That is also the leg I broke several years ago.

What you really want to know about the Detox

You will be giving mesh undergarments. Hang your clothes on the hooks provided. Once you are in your undergarments you will be given a halter top plastic bag. Get inside of the bag and onto the table. Dawn or other staff member will assist you in getting the bed closed and ready to start your treatment. They will walk you through what is happening. Ask all of your questions! The machine will start and it will feel like the laziest of lazy rivers as the heat goes over your body. It will be intense at first. Your body will regulate itself. There will be a sense of hot calming and then the last of the intense heat will happen in the last 10 minutes. It’s an hour process.

Afterwards you may feel a little uneasy. You will be given alkaline water with some electrolytes. Be gentle. You do not want to start moving fast. Take your time and treat yourself upon rising as if you were super sick. Move slowly and steadily. The staff is more than able to assist you if you need it. 

Takeaways from the Detox

This detox was amazing. I had some pains in my back from a surgery 2 years ago that would hurt from the touch. They no longer hurt. I felt amazing but sore in a good way from the process. Transparency I did go to the gym about an hour before the detox. I may not do that when I go back for another one. So the feeling that I felt afterwards could be from the gym and the detox combined. I definitely would and look forward to going back.

The Owner Dawn McCall has been in this business for over 10 years. She has the most humbling spirit I have ever met. One thing about the wellness space is that most times the people in it are genuine. The love for what she does shines. Her staff are just as welcoming. The location is extremely secure which is a bonus for me. I felt like I was with family and the professionalism was exceptional. 

Quick Things to Keep in Mind

• The sweat isn’t a smelly sweat
• your hair will sweat so for my natural hair ladies, expect the hair to be wet and therefore in need of some TLC afterwards-completely worth it
• Plan to be there for your hour time, the recovery time aka getting dressed and all for at least 1.5-2 hours max.
• You can select what music if any you want played during your time
• Aromatherapy will take place as well-it smelled amazing inside of there
• You will be given a large wipe its a shower to go to freshen up when you are done as well 

Thank you to Dawn, your staff, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Redwood Beauty and Wellness. Make sure you check them out and support this woman owned business. Book now!
