Other-worldly spa

Stephanie Ibarra moved to Michigan from Colorado with her husband and two dogs four years ago, where she had earned a business degree from the Leeds School of Business in Boulder. “I have wanted to own my own business since I was 14 years old,” Ibarra said. Enter Space Spa, 2125 S. Telegraph Road, Suite E in Bloomfield Township, an eco-friendly day spa which opened mid-January. “I feel extremely lucky and humble to be living my dream.” Ibarra’s dream is a luxurious and eco-friendly spa with a simple goal in mind – to help clients reach serenity. All of the products for their massages, botanical facials, men’s organic bearded facials, waxing, body scrubs and wraps use the finest quality ingredients, are cruelty-free, and are from Michigan. Linens are sustainably-sourced. “Our experienced and passionate team is excited to help each guest feel like the VIP they are,” Ibarra said. “If we can do a little bit to help the environment while helping our guests relax, then we are accomplishing our mission. Life is so busy today, we rush around and forget to take time for ourself. We want to slow life down for each person so they can make space for themselves.”
