Interview with Shona Woo

An exclusive interview session Shona Woo had at Ikeda Spa. Read on to find out what most people don't know about her!

Had a really relaxing 90min at Ikeda. Marlyn worked really hard on my stiff upper back and shoulders and it feels great!

5-star Japanese Spa Experience – 3 Visits to Ikeda Spa Ikeda Spa has truly become one of my favorite sanctuaries to unwind, offering a serene, soothing atmosphere and authentic omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) right from the start—shoutout to Jason at reception and the friendly staff! Visit 1 (Kogao Facial & Body Care): My first visit set a high standard. Therapist Ai performed the Kogao Small Face Correction Facial; while the manual technique was quite painful at times, it was bearable and worth it for the noticeable sculpting and tension release. I also had a body scrub and wrap with Kim, leaving my skin smooth and glowing. Visit 2 (Couple Onsen & Massage): We booked a couple's room with an attached onsen and shower. Before starting, Marlyn kindly introduced us to a variety of hot spring bath salts and massage oils. The massage by Marlyn and Zoe was fantastic, with both hitting our preferred pressure perfectly. The experience felt like a mini vacation in Japan and the ultimate break in our busy lives. Visit 3 (Ganbanyoku Massage & Embellir Facial): On my latest visit, I tried the Ganbanyoku Detox Massage with Marlyn, which melted away deep stress. She was exceptionally attentive and ensured I was comfortable on the hot stone bed throughout the session. Thereafter, followed by the Embellir Anti-Aging Facial with an RF add-on by Ai, leaving my face firm and refreshed. Walking out feeling rejuvenated from head to toe. Thanks Ai, Kim, Marlyn, and Zoe for the amazing skill and care across every visit!

Kim is a great masseuse with good technique. Awesome experience, clean rooms and always a 5 star experience for each visit.

BEST Massage Therapist at IKEDA My experience at IKEDA Spa has been exceptional. Ruby is by far the best massage therapist I have ever had. From my very first visit, she was able to identify and effectively relieve my aches and pains with her exceptional skills and expertise. I have been a loyal customer of IKEDA Spa and Ruby for more than five years, and every session has been consistently excellent. Ruby is professional, attentive, and truly passionate about helping her clients feel their best. I highly recommend Ruby to anyone looking for a skilled and experienced massage therapist. If you’re visiting IKEDA Spa, be sure to book a session with her—you won’t be disappointed!

Best spa in Singapore Had a great experience at Ikeda as always, thanks Marlyn as the therapist!
