	*Therese Henning* is delighted to be the owner of the newest spa in West Seattle. Opening less than a year ago, we are proud to have been honored by the West Seattle Heralds Best of West Seattle 08, noted under both the Best Massage Category and the Best Customer Service category. All of the practitioners at the Body Bar sure are lucky to have received such a positive welcoming from the West Seattle community! Therese has been a massage therapist for twelve years and was in private practice in Fremont for the past eight. Therese added skin care to her repertoire two years ago when she attended the Euro Institute of Skin care. Being dually licensed has given Therese the opportunity to develop a vast array of treatments including the Body Bar’s most popular service, The Half and Half where clients receive a massage and facial for under $100! In addition to running the Body Bar Day Spa, Therese is an eight year faculty member at Seattle Children’s and holds a BFA in Acting from Fredonia State University. Her theatre background lets her bring the creative and whimsical side into her spa and hopes that all clients have a relaxing and entertaining experience while at The Body Bar. Therese is a graduate of the New York Institute of Massage, the Northwest School of Massage and The Pacific Yoga Advanced Teacher Training.
