Frequently Asked Questions.


How to book.

Packages and services
Q: What services do you have: 

A: Our core products are self-service sauna rental and traditional steam room treatments, including hot leaves massage, warm peeling, hot reflexology, and after-sauna treatments. 

You can find rates on page: https://spacarp.ca/booking/packages/packages-spring-2022

Q: Can you describe the Hot Leaves Treatment? 

A: Hot leaf therapy employs hot air, steam, and heated leaves to induce profound physical and emotional relaxation, as well as deep tissue massage. The treatment consists of the use of hot compresses, massage with palm-throw leaves, light tapping, and the application of sticks. It is essential to stress that, contrary to popular belief, this treatment does not involve beating, biting, or other painful methods.

The steam room treatments – are a new concept for Canada. We have promoted this service in Ontario for 15 years (we had the spa resort on Golden Lake before  2019), and most of our clients did try this service for the first time. Almost all of them became our long-time clients and admirers of this ancient practice. 

 Hot Leaves  Treatments are one of the most pleasant, healthy, and unforgettable procedures you may experience. It is a complex manipulation with leafy branches, hot air, steam, and ice. The purpose is deep and comfortable body heating, gentle skin cleansing, and stress and pain relief.

Every treatment is tailored to your needs and goals. In this video, you can see the example of gentle treatment, demonstrating more intensive (healthier, more valuable, and more exciting) treatments. 

Steam room treatments are our core services, but if you want extra services like deep tissue massage or beautician services, we can invite a third-party licensed professional qualified to execute such services.

Q: What service can you advise for me? 

A: To begin your sauna experience in a safe manner, it is recommended to book a serviced sauna rental for $359 for a duration of three hours. This package provides the flexibility to add additional services at times for half the price, allowing you to try out different treatments and make decisions on-site.

Q: Can we alter the packages? 

A: All packages include three common treatments necessary as preparation steps for the individual procedures. All personal treatments can be altered during the session to meet your personal needs.

Q: What is fashioned today? 

A: Our exclusive services – are Steam room treatment, including Hot Leaves massage. We are the only operator in Ottawa who provides a full range of these services. 

Q: Can we come for the massage only? 

In-spa massage can be booked just as part of the Spa package or you can book it directly with our associates to have it on the associates location.

Q: Can you explain the  Hot Leaves Treatment in plain English? 

A: Every time we ask newly converted Sauna Fans to describe their first Hot Leaves experience in plain English, we get back something like, “Wow! So relaxing! Unbelievable! Amazing! Alex, how are you doing that? Fkng Good!”. So we are still unable to describe clearly the content of the Hot Leaves Treatment. In formal terms, it is intensive manipulation with leaves bunches around your body in the hot wet room, involving waving, applications, and slight slapping, which results in the client’s euphoria, his/her exiting exclamations, happy smiles, and unconscious wish to pay enormous TIPs. 

  We recorded and published many videos and collected several links to third-party videos about Sauna. Unfortunately, any media reflects just a visual impression and can not translate overwhelming feelings: excitement in every muscle, a sense of flight, deeper breath, and fresh air in each cell of your skin. All these sensations have a scientific explanation beyond them, as bright as controlled stress, positive sensory overloading, and shifted oxygen balance. Still, the authentic Hot Leaves Treatment is more art and magic than formal procedure. So you can not find the answer before you come and try.


Pricing
Q: The price range. 

A: The Hot Leaves Treatment is a tailored, exclusive and expensive service. Package for a couple costs $399/3 h. Self-service sauna rental $240/3h.

Background and staff
Q: For how long did you stay in business? 

A: We used to run in Ottawa Valley spa resort “Goldenville” for 12 years. In 2019 we sold the resort business and built a new spa in Carp, Ottawa. We restored spa operations in Spring 2022 after most CODIV restrictions had been lifted.  

Q: Can you tell me more about the staff? 

A: All services are provided by well-trained practitioners. To avoid miscommunication, our policy requires proper professionals to directly address your questions. So if you are looking for therapeutic massage, manicure, or beautician services – we re-direct your request to the practitioner. 

Q: Who executes the treatments? 

Two sauna attendants (male and female) usually lead the  Spa session. The returning guest can choose which sauna attendant performs his/her treatment (subject to availability). You can also choose only male (for male groups) or only female (for female groups) sessions. 

Q: Can we tour the sauna to see how it`s organized before booking?

A: Yes, it can work on an appointment. 

Q: Are all of your associate professionals? 

A: Indeed, our entire crew has been trained in the procedures they do at the Spa. The majority of them have specialisations in multiple fields, such as Thai massage, Beautician services, Human Design Reading, and Energy Healing, as evidenced by their diplomas and certificates.

Q: Where are you located? 

A: Hot Rock Spa is located in Carp, 10 min drive from Kanata. 

Privacy and etiquette. 
Q: Are the sauna sessions private? 

A: Yes,  with a self-service sauna rental, you will have all land and all premises at your own disposal. No one else will share the sessions with you. 

If you are looking for a serviced sauna rental or any sauna treatments and massage – the sauna attendants and massage practitioners will stay on the property as long as you require the service. 

Private rentals and parties 
Q: Can we bring our own food and drinks? 

A: Yes, you can. For alcoholic drinks, please obey the Ontarian laws and regulations for private events ( with -self-service sauna rental) or for public events ( serviced sauna rental).

Q: Is it suitable for a bachelor party?

A: Yes, you can. Please find more info here.

Q: How many people can you accommodate?

A: We have almost half an acre of fenced yard with three gathering areas (air conditioner, hilltop gazebo, fire pit) for 8-12 people each. The steam room can accommodate up to 8 people at a time.

Facilities. 
Hot Rock Spa Vs. Nordic Spa-Nature (Spa Le Nordic). 

A: Le Nordic is a public Spa with shared facilities, unlimited visit time, and supplementary personal services. 
At Hot Rock Spa, you get private 3 hours sessions and all attention and service from two sauna attendants. You make the rules; you choose the services. 
To compare apples to apples, in Le Nordic, you pay $88 per person, so $176 per couple, just the access to shared facilities. At our spa, you spend $240 for the exclusive use of all our facilities ( Package: Self-Service rental). Nordic Spa has more amenities, but you have much more at our place in terms of facilities per guest. 
In terms of services, you can add a $135 massage at Le Nordic, so it became $ 446 per couple with a one-hour treatment. A couple’s package at our spa costs $399 per couple, including 3 hours of tailored treatments for you and your partner. 
Although, the most valuable part of our service – is Hot Leaves Treatment. It cannot be formalized; you should try it. It is multi-level sensations, unique feelings, and long-lasting health effects. 

Q: Do you have a pool? 

A: Yes, we have above ground pool 48” x 15’. It is good to cool down after the Steam room. The pool is not heated and can operate just in temperatures above zero.

Q: Are any air-conditioners? 

A: Yes. Very powerful one in the lounge. 

Q: Heated floors? 

A: Yes. In the lounge.
