Spa for a Cause at Hiatus Spa + Retreat for Earth Month

Hiatus Spa + Retreat is excited to announce their annual month-long fundraiser at all locations to honor Earth Month this April. Hiatus will host ‘Spa for a Cause,’ to benefit charity:water, which includes a special water-conserving monthly retreat and special pricing on Essential Services. Each of these specials will support Hiatus’ $10,000 fundraising goal for charity:water, a nonprofit organization delivering clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. For the past three years, by reaching their fundraising goal, charity:water was able to build two wells in Ethiopia benefitting over 300 people. Hiatus intends to meet its goal again this year.(Hiatus Spa + Retreat, 2019)

Hiatus is offering a special discount of 20% off all Essential Services during the month of April when guests book ‘Spa for a Cause’ branded services with promo code “charity water.” 20% of profits from these services go towards charity:water. Hiatus will also donate $10 to charity:water for each guest who enrolls in the H-Circle membership program during the month of April.

This year, Hiatus will offer Stone Unturned, a special water conserving monthly retreat for April. A skin-quenching experience, after a dry-brush exfoliation, the skin is drenched in nourishing shea and cocoa butter while hot stones glide from head to toe. As the warmth of the stones fades, they are gently situated under the body to continue melting away tension while the body is enveloped in layers of a warm wrap. Fall into deeper relaxation with a reflexology session and awaken with a refreshing cool stone face massage. The result is radiant skin and good karma knowing this service contributes to clean water initiatives.

Hiatus strives to be earth-friendly year-round and has made the environment a cornerstone of its business philosophy. This includes from initial build-out to ongoing initiatives, such as bottle cap recycling, 100 percent wind-powered energy, VOC-free paint finishes, post-consumer recycled paper printed with soy ink and its no-bottled-water policy.

Sheila Garrison, Kristin Peabody and partner Bill Garrison founded Hiatus Spa + Retreat in Dallas in 2007. Since then, the spa has received numerous accolades, including the Innovate Award, International Spa Association – 2013, Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Companies 2012 – 2018, American Spa Magazine – Favorite Day Spa 2016, D Magazine’s Best of Big D 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 – Best Spa.
