Midday Massages are Here!

Working hard?  Muscles in your head, neck, and shoulders so tense it hurts to type?  AERWA is proud to offer Midday Massages to help you get through the day!  Massages are offered in conjunction with Orchid Spa.  They are offered on Thursdays from 12:00 - 14:00.  We offer 6 appointments each week at 20 minutes each.  You must sign up in advance - please visit our registration form for Midday Massages.  Members pay $22 and non-members pay $25.

Payment is due at the time of service.  Cancellations are payable in full, no exceptions.  We encourage you to save the hassle of having money with you - pay online now!  You can select the Pay Pal button on this page.  You do not need a Pay Pal account to pay online with any debit or credit card.

The fine print: A member of AERWA will be the official escort for the therapist but you are in escort status during your massage.  Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled appointment for check-in.  Massages take place at the Medical Unit located at the Chancery.
