Wild Rose Healing House is a day spa on East Chestnut Street in downtown Asheville, built around bodywork rather than a full wet-area circuit. The menu is short and focused: Thai massage performed on a floor mat with assisted stretching, and a signature massage that adds hot stones, hot towels, and aromatherapy to an integrative massage base. The signature treatment, the most popular option, runs $140 for 60 minutes, with 90- and 120-minute versions also available.
Beyond massage, the house offers two heat-therapy options that can be booked on their own or paired with a session. The infrared sauna delivers gentle, deep-penetrating warmth, while the traditional sauna is a private one-person Auroom Cala Glass Mini built from thermo-aspen wood and heated with sauna rocks -- add water for steam, then rinse off in the in-room shower for contrast therapy. Both sauna options are priced at $40 for 30 minutes or $80 for 60 minutes, and towels and water are included.
This is a moderate-tier spot, open daily from 9am to 8:30pm, with no couples treatments and no day-pass system -- everything is booked as an individual service. The business also runs rotating monthly offers, such as discounts on a featured therapist or a seasonal treatment bundle, worth asking about when scheduling.
