"Ripristinare" (ree-pree-stee-NAH-ray)
Italian verb that means "to restore" or "to reinstate."
The act of bringing something back to its original state or condition
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
​
I am Christina M Lower, and after nearly 24 years in the holistic & wellness community, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to once again create and practice in a healing space solo. It truly embodies my passion and commitment to creativity and excellence.
Ripristinare is the culmination of my journey to healing, relaxation, and education, bringing me full circle back to my roots.
It is my honor to share this transformative experience with you and pass on these gifts.

I create unique and innovative experiences using high-quality products combined with vibrational and frequency therapies to enhance your skincare and bodywork journey. 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.
Our healing environment is designed to support deep relaxation and restoration, ensuring each session is not only memorable but rejuvenating for both mind and body.
