The Euphorium Day Spa

Magical experience at the Euphorium Day Spa. Mel is gifted in many ways, and I felt so relaxed and grateful after my wonderful facial. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and also transporting. Many small touches indicate the amount of time and care Mel has put in to creating a space that is truly healing, and also fun.

I have been receiving spa treatments regularly for over 20 years and never have I got off a table feeling as light, refreshed and euphoric as I have after my last facial with MeI. To call this a facial just doesnt do it justice, as my whole entire being glowed for hours afterwards. I can not say enough about how very special this place is. Mel has created a very unique old world atmosphere by filling this cozy home spa with beautiful art, tasteful décor, relaxing sounds and sweet aromas. Mel’s mastery comes through in each of her refined strokes and movements. Whether it be applying a cooling herbal mask or massaging your arms, it is obvious you are being handled by a gifted artist. I can’t recommend Mel and her spa enough. If you are looking not for just another facial, but an experience for all your senses that will leave you feeling like a euphoric work of art, then look no further.

That was by far the best facial I have ever received in Portland. Melanie, it seems is both spiritually and energetically sensitive as well as an expert in the field of cosmetology. I walked out with my skin feeling so soft and 10 years younger. It felt as relaxing and enjoying as a massage. Her divine energy and gentle touch made this such a wonderful experience, I enjoyed it so much that I even extended my 75 min session to 90 mins at the last minute.

I received a facial from Melanie Ooi at The Euphorium Day Spa a couple days ago and am at a loss of words to describe exactly how much I enjoyed it. Absolutely amazing. Divine. I was talking to a lady friend last night and she laughed when I began telling her about my session (as a man, most of us have no insider information on what a facial actually is). Somehow I always thought it was about cleaning, exfoliating, getting nice healthy skin etc. At best, I would say that this is the end result and the icing on the cake. The cake however, is laying in heaven for an hour or so receiving the most lavish and delightful sensations. Melanie was extraordinary. She is delightful with a very sweet and positive energy about her, and was very thorough and precise (hitting pressure points, etc) in her technique. As part of my treatment, I had asked for the ‘Shakti Special’ where ¾ into the treatment when I was very relaxed and ‘something?’ was on my face, she played a harmonium and sung a traditional vedic song of blessing. Her voice was wonderful, and it really felt like an honor to listen.
The Euphorium Day Spa itself is an incredible space. It has a vintage feel about it with just enough eastern influence to feel like some moroccan den for royalty back in the 1920s. The décor is wonderful, and as unique as Melanie is. Not a typical strip mall business. The walls are even natural clay… so the very air itself within the spa is much cleaner than 99% of interior spaces with their sheet rock.
