Editorial Review for Whispering Waters – by Cheryl Van Tuyl
The Scene
Gurgling water elements inside and out counter the din of the high-traffic location. The large facility draws mostly professional women from the medical center and USAA who come to de-stress on their lunch hours. The decor--a mix of Eastern, African and Native American influences--reflects owner Ann Jacobs' interest in feng shui and world travel. Thick hedges outside the double window allow sunlight and privacy in treatment rooms that are awash with cheery colors. Plush robes, cool rubber spa sandals and a women's locker room create a girlfriend feel.
The Services
Besides the standard spa fare of facials, massage and body wraps, Whispering Waters offers unique services like the "spa a trois": Two therapists tend to you with dry-brushing, scalp massage, reflexology and body kneading. Sophisticated, electronically adjustable massage tables ensure customized, comfortable positioning for massages.

WOW~~Without a doubt, one of the best spa experiences I have ever had. My husband and I travel frequently on business and as soon as we make reservations, I begin searching for a Day Spa for a day of pampering. Of course with a city I have never visited, I have to look at reviews and take a chance. In reading the reviews on Whispering Waters, I came across the one from complaining about the " yapping Poodle and no wraps" and was surprised to see that among the other great reviews. I called and was assured by the staff that I would enjoy my day. At the Spa, I was pleasantly surprised to see water features outside and in. The spa is a short drive from the city but easy to find and worth the trip. In the waiting room I met "Daisy" an absolutely charming 6 month old Bichon Frise. I was assured that she would not disturb me at all. She was so sweet and kept me company between treatments. As for the treatments, I consider them to be among the best I have ever received. The massage was glorious and Britiany really worked on the areas that had been bothering me and between the massage and herbal bath before, all of the kinks were gone. I had a facial next and just for anyone who has never had a facial, robes are never worn, just terry wraps so that your neck and shoulders can be massaged. YOU ARE GIVEN ROBES AND CUTE JELLY FLIP FLOPS FOR THE DAY!!! The facial was upgraded and I am so glad that I did. Ann knows her business well and gives the most in depth facial that I have ever had. We were fortunate to have a mild day and the sliding glass doors were opened to a lovely little stream and waterfall, EXTREMELY SOOTHING!! Terry did a super mani/pedi and also was kind enough to educate me on the area and great places to see. I can only say that this spa rates high in the BEST OF THE BEST and should not be missed!!! To Ann and Staff, Thanks for a wonderfull day And I hope to visit again !!! ( p.s. I did NOT get a discount to write this!!!)
Pros: TOTAL RELAXATION, NEVER FELT RUSHED, THEY REALLY TOOK THEIR TIME TO DO A GREAT JOB!!
Cons: A FOUR HOUR FLIGHT FROM MY HOUSE!!! PLEASE OPEN ONE IN BALTIMORE!!
