NEWS RELEASE
VETTÄ NORDIC SPA
*************************
Vettä Nordic Spa announced Tuesday that it is offering a $30 savings on weekday Nordic spa access to all Ontario hospital workers.
The regular price weekday Nordic spa pass is $89 (plus HST), meaning Ontario hospital employees and volunteers will be able to experience Vettä for $59 (plus HST).
Vettä president and founder Eric Harkonen said the Oro-Medonte-based business was searching for a meaningful way to express its gratitude to the thousands of Ontario hospital workers who have gone above and beyond for the past few years.
“My vision for Vettä is that it be a place for relaxing, recharging, and reconnecting. After all we’ve been through over the past years, so many of us need this experience, but no group is more deserving than Ontario’s hospital workers. That’s why we’re offering them more than one-third off our regular pricing. It’s our way of saying thank you,” said Harkonen.
Vettä Nordic Spa, located in Horseshoe Valley, opened just over one year ago and is proud to celebrate sauna culture: the age-old Finnish tradition of hydrotherapy consisting of alternating between periods of hot, cold, and relaxation — which can boost immunity and improve overall well-being.
Harkonen’s Finnish heritage and northern Ontario roots are part of the inspiration behind Vettä.
“A big part of Vettä’s essence is that we are Finnish inspired. Growing up in northern Ontario, I learned that sauna time was an essential element of a healthy work-life balance. The benefits are more than physical. It can also be an opportunity for folks to reconnect with themselves or loved ones.”
The special spring savings is in effect until May 30, 2023, and applies to all active Ontario hospital workers in all roles for Monday to Friday Nordic spa access. Hospital employees and volunteers who wish to take advantage should book their Nordic spa access online and present their employee/volunteer photo ID badge to guest services upon arrival at Vettä to receive their ‘thank-you’ savings.
“We felt it was important to include all the different roles within hospitals — those we meet upon arrival to those behind the scenes — environment service aides, dietary aides, logistics attendants, medical device technicians, lab technicians, pharmacy technicians, all the volunteers, and so many more. Vettä’s special spring savings is our way of saying thank you. We want them to be able to recharge their batteries and face life and their responsibilities with a renewed spirit,” added Harkonen.
