or many working professionals,
taking time out of one’s schedule
for relaxation often seems like an
impossible task. Victoria Ralston, owner of
Abington Spa in Clarks Summit, seeks to
make her center into an oasis for anyone
looking to unwind from a trying day.
Offering a wide variety of massage therapy
services, including specialized options for
men as well as Reiki sessions, the staff at
Abington Spa knows that the more choices
they provide for their clients, the more likely
they are to return.
I TRULY ENJOY ALL
OF MY CLIENTS AND
I WANTED A PLACE
WHERE THEY COULD
REALIZE THAT THEY
WERE VALUED.
What inspired you to start your business?
I enjoy being a massage therapist. I had
a vision of what I thought the perfect spa
should look like and which amenities it
should offer and decided to make that
vision a reality. I truly enjoy all of my clients
and I wanted a place where they could
realize that they are valued. I try to make

each client at Abington Spa feel that he or
she is getting a special, unique experience.
What types of services do you provide?
We offer 18 different massage modalities,
including prenatal, cranial sacral therapy
and lymphatic drainage. We also offer
salon services, such as manicures and
pedicures, hair services, facials and all
types of waxing. We also have a variety of
spa packages and men’s services.
What is Abington Spa’s most popular
service?
We specialize in massage therapy,
particularly therapeutic and medical
massage. I completed my studies at the
Finger Lakes School of Massage Therapy
because of its emphasis on bodywork and
hard-to-find varieties of massage, which
were one of the key services I wanted to
provide.
Which services do you suggest to new
clients?
If a client has never had a massage, I
always suggest they start with Swedish
massage. It is the most common and
superficial massage there is. It is both
relaxing and effective. Once they have
tried that, they can then experiment with
the other kinds of therapeutic massage we
offer.
How has your Chamber membership
helped your business?
By far, the most beneficial aspect of my
Chamber membership has been the
networking opportunities. The Chamber
puts on great mixers that are helpful
to anyone in business. Also, any time
I need something, I can just call the
Chamber offices and they take care of me
immediately.
