Your Body and Skin Knead More Attention
Letter From The Founder
Dear Urban Squeeze Community,
I began my career 14 years ago, and at the time I was not certain of my long term goals. I first began by becoming an esthetician and through the years I have upgraded my skills and passions by putting time into permanent make-up, spa esthetics, waxing, lash extensions, cryoskin and so much more.
Since the beginning, I have loved learning, so I shared the knowledge that I had acquired and before I opened Urban Squeeze I was an Instructor of Esthetics. I continued to deepen my knowledge with an associates degree and massage therapy license. I founded and operated Urban Squeeze upon completion of the Rocky Mountain MicroFinance business launch boot camp in 2013.
I have a staff of massage therapists and estheticians in which I have hand selected and personally trained. This is to ensure that every guest experience is one of a unique blend of individual therapeutic techniques within the relaxing environment of a gorgeous spa. I recognized that we are all unique in our own ways and we need individualized experiences. Therefore, we are rolling out our Wellness Concept- you simply visit us for a consultation where we dig deep to help you achieve your long term wellness goals. We then customize a wellness program designed for your needs, which can include a wide variety of our many service offerings, such as Cyroskin, heated bamboo massage, sinus drainage facial, etc. However, we also offer all of our services a la carte so you can come in when it is convenient for you.
Our goal at Urban Squeeze is to ensure your wellness journey is a unique and an individualized experience and a relaxing escape.
Wishing you all the best,
Rachael Vigil-Smolinski
Rachael and her staff run a top notch business. Very professional and excellent service. I’ve been a client now for 4+ months and can’t say enough about how relaxing and comfortable they make you feel. Each massage I’ve had left my muscles in a better place and my mind & body reset and recharged to tackle the day-to-day stresses I face. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!
Scott H.Wonderful massage with Rachael! I love a deep massage that works out the toil of the work week. She delivers and adds in the stretching of Thai techniques. I feel this really helped to prevent the post massage soreness I usually encounter a few hours later! I will definitely return!
Cathi F.Absolutely wonderful service! Rachael and her team at Urban Squeeze always take time to understanding and help in any way possible. The professionalism is outstanding! Not only do they provide top notch service, but phenomenal education in the office and on ways to help between sessions! Highly recommend Urban Squeeze!
