Oh, relief



Oh, Shana Lacs!


When was the last you visited a spa? Oh, I guess you forgot about it.

The power of touch is liberating for tired souls, indeed, it is true in Shana Lacs. Hilot Ilonggo, a local term for special type of therapeutic massage is now an “in” thing for the sprawling spa sensation in a flourishing city known for its quixotic men and adoring women- Iloilo , the city of love, the next leisure destination in the Philippines .

As fusion of passion and business acumen of successful Ilonggo couple, Engineer Ron Lacson and banker Ellen Lacson, establishing an exceptional spa centre with something unique to offer for wellness aficionados became a serendipitous calling. Back then in Hong Kong, while employed in a premier banking institution, Ellen has been a patron of spa and the philosophy of wellness living. Such interest unexpectedly became a serious desire for her to leave her job, enrolled herself in an international training institute for aspiring masseurs, and invest in opening a spa centre in her hometown more than two years ago.

Such career pathway also became a significant direction which she embraced in the name of motherhood-living a new life near with her three children. Serendipitous as it may seemed to be, Ellen with the support of her husband, launched Shana Lacs Spa taken from the last syllables of her daughter’s names: Elisha and Krisna.

Establishing Shana Lac’s reputation as a wellness destination in Iloilo City had been centered on her yearning to provide ultimate satisfaction, high-standard of service, and serene ambiance. Innovating and creating a name for its signature Swedish massage and 2007-2009 bestseller, often the word-of-mouth favorite of loyal clients--Hilot Ilonggo, were achieved slowly through patience and perfection.

For Ellen, Hilot Ilonggo is a product of her creativity as a masseur by introducing her own style of sequential therapeutic massage: blending traditional hilot (massage) done by ancient-old masseurs in Iloilo and several oriental techniques. Usually, it lasts one hour and thirty minutes recommended to completely experience ultimate relaxation and relieve physical stress. Such creativity and unique packaging of service resulted to a long list of loyal clients that include locals, tourists, and even foreigners like Koreans through word-of-mouth recommendation. So addicting and therapeutic that even her Korean clients revealed that Shana Lacs has been the suggested spa in Iloilo and known in other parts of Korea, a distinct Ilonggo identity in the spa industry. Such commendable feat put Shana Lacs as the only spa centre member in the Philippines in the Prime Excel Privilege Card of PrimeCredit Limited, a subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank based in Hong Kong. So whenever tourists from Hong Kong visit the country, Shana Lacs is the only spa that offers discount using such privilege card.

To uphold personal care for their loyal patrons, she introduced several other spa services such as Aromatherapy, Dream Journey, Slimming Body massage, Indian Head massage, facial treatment, diamond peel, and foot and hand reflex. Even kids can enjoy the bliss of spa with Tuina massage. To reward and express her gratitude to their frequent clients, Ellen gives special discounts as high as 20 percent and introduced 25-percent-discounted package rates, both combination of several spa services. Shana Lacs resident masseurs are flexibly trained in various forms of massage techniques, capable of providing personal care for clients.

Another inviting aspect of Shana Lacs is its serene ambiance that evokes positive energy and harness the harmony of elements- earth, wind, water and fire. The soft lighting and decors which obviously blends native and oriental design is relaxing to the eyes, both visible in its spacious foot garden, relaxation lounge, and facial station.

When finally asked about her aspirations for Shana Lacs, Ellen hinted that she wanted to expand their family business abroad preferably in Hong Kong where her husband, Ron is presently on the peak of his career. As for their one and only Iloilo City branch located in Room 205, Adelina Building General Luna-Jalandoni Street , she remains passionate to continue, uphold her vision of giving personal care, satisfaction and ultimate relaxation to their long list of clients. After all, she knew in her heart that their frequent clientele are inclined to prefer a spa centre that invest more on what they expects best: satisfaction, quality, and value rather than advertising and name-recall alone.

Ultimate relaxation and wellness is the vitality of a good life. When was the last time you visited a spa? Book and reserve your next spa session now, call Shana Lacs Spa at (033) 338-3206.
