- Bodhisattva Tea Spa

- The best part: This place transports you from New Orleans to the rustic, spice-filled corners of India with the turn of a doorknob. Filled with a plethora of herbs and teas this spa is appealing to your taste buds, your skin and aching body. If you are looking for deep relaxation and an experience in learning a little bit more about yourself try the spa's signature Relaxation Therapy with Yolanda. During this treatment Yolanda or the therapist of your choice will begin by analyzing your dosha, which is an auryvedic or holistic term for your unique mind-body composition derived from the elements such as earth or fire. You won't believe how accurately your dosha represents your personality and body type. Your experience is then tailored to your specific composition, you are given a full body massage, and a chakra or energy balancing treatment.
