Offering a serene escape, we are nestled in the idyllic countryside of the Southern Tier Finger Lakes region, conveniently situated between Watkins Glen and Ithaca, NY. Our private day spa retreat, designed by Christina M. Lower, former owner of A Touch of Tranquility Wellness Spa, features two elegantly appointed treatment rooms.

Occasionally, we collaborate with skilled and talented local professionals to enhance our service offerings.

I Welcome you to Ripristinare Retreat

Ripristinare is the culmination of my journey to healing, relaxation, and education, bringing me full circle back to my roots.

By harnessing the power of sound and energy frequencies, each session is designed to align your body, mind, and spirit, leaving you feeling restored, balanced, and deeply rejuvenated.
