Root Whole Body

Root Whole Body sits at NW 21st and Quimby, across from New Seasons, combining a day spa with a naturopathic clinic under one roof. The facility covers massage, acupuncture, esthetics, a hydrotherapy circuit, sauna and movement classes like yoga, along with a tea room and the Blossoming Lotus Cafe for vegan food on site.

Access is a mix of walk-in and reservation: some services and the sauna/hydrotherapy space can be used as a drop-in, while spa treatments and clinic appointments typically need to be booked ahead. The center runs a membership-style "health account" program where members deposit money monthly and apply it across services, treatments, food and retail at a discount, plus perks like priority scheduling and access to a personal health advisor — but day visitors without an account can still book individual treatments.

It's set up for solo visits and adults, with a layout meant to let someone move between a treatment, the sauna, the tea room and a meal without leaving the building. The space has picked up local recognition for its massage program and been a finalist for its natural medicine clinic, esthetics and the cafe. Open daily from 8am to 8pm, it functions less like a single spa and more like a small wellness complex — useful if you want to combine a treatment with lunch or a sauna session rather than just one service and out.
