Mom’s Day Out: 3 Places to Get Pampered in Boulder
Between drop-offs, laundry, deadlines, and endless snack prep, it’s no wonder Boulder moms are due for a little “me time.” And while a quick coffee run or solo grocery trip might feel like a break, let’s be honest — you deserve more. A real escape. A couple hours (or an entire afternoon) to reset, unwind, and feel like an actual human again.
Luckily, Boulder makes it easy to recharge in style.
Whether you're looking for a luxe full-body treatment, a mind-melting scalp massage, or a serene space to sip tea and pretend the group chat doesn’t exist — these three Boulder spas are our top picks for the ultimate mom’s day out.
So book the sitter, block your calendar, and get ready to be blissfully unavailable.
Woodhouse Spa Boulder
Located right on Pearl Street, Woodhouse Spa is one of Boulder’s most trusted go-to spots for a true spa day. Think plush robes, aromatherapy in the air, and a menu of treatments designed to melt your to-do list right out of your brain.
You can’t go wrong here, but if you’re in full-reset mode, try the 80-minute signature massage (with hot stones, yes please) or the illuminating facial. The spa itself is warm and welcoming with calming interiors, and they’ll happily let you hang in the quiet room before or after your service with a cup of herbal tea and zero interruptions.
Vibe: Classic, calming, and luxurious without feeling over-the-top.
Miori Luxury Head Spa
Yes, this one’s all about your head — and no, it’s not “just a scalp massage.” Miori is one of Boulder’s newest wellness gems, offering Japanese-style head spa treatments that are as dreamy as they sound. Sessions begin with a consultation and a scalp scan (yep, you’ll see your follicles up close), followed by a customized treatment using cleansing foams, essential oils, steam therapy, and pressure-point massage.
The space is clean, modern, and serene, and you’ll leave feeling like someone turned your nervous system off and back on again in the best way possible. It’s the kind of treatment you didn’t know you needed — until you experience it.
Vibe: Boutique, unique, and low-key life-changing.
Mizu Japanese Head Spa
Mizu is another Boulder favorite that specializes in the art of Japanese head spa. What makes Mizu different is its focus on holistic healing — from the scalp down. You'll be pampered with detoxifying treatments, warm water flows over your scalp, and gentle techniques that relax your head, neck, and shoulders.
It's wildly soothing, especially for moms holding tension (read: all of us) and offers a mental break you didn’t realize you needed. Plus, the interior feels like a modern-day zen cave — soft lighting, neutral tones, and total quiet.
Vibe: Elevated, intentional, and endlessly relaxing.
You take care of everyone else — now it’s your turn. Book the massage, turn off your phone, and give yourself a few hours of peace. You’ve more than earned it.
