About Us
Sloco inspires healthy habits for a lifestyle that creates both personal and planetary wellness through guilt-free self-care.
How it all began…
For years, I suffered through the pain, headaches and embarrassment of having anyone in the same room with me hear my jaw pop and crack anytime I chewed or yawned. I accepted that I would have to live with it for the rest of my life because a TMJ specialist told me that my issue could only be resolved with surgery, and even then it was no guarantee.
About 5 years later, my life changed. I was working in radio at the time, and my work had brought in a massage therapist to treat us! Within 30 minutes, she was able to provide me with a significant amount of relief which sent me on a path for looking for answers in unexpected places. My life had dramatically changed and I just had to learn more… it was time for a career change.
After going through training for this healing art, I found that spas operated with the mindset of pampering, rather than healing. So, I decided to focus on my own practice which later evolved into what it is today… a wellness spa!

We Give You the Tools
Attention to Detail
Force for Good
We care about our community and our planet. So, you can feel good about spending money on self-care since it is getting reinvested into the community.
Sorry, Kermit… It’s easy being green.
Some spas spend absurd amounts of money on fancy tile, lavish interior design and environmentally unfriendly features. Here at Sloco, we decided to take things another direction… We are using the interior of our space to educate our guests on the importance of keeping the environment in mind, not only for the future of our planet, but also for our health!
