Dream has been featured locally and nationally, as an elegant environment where you can experience spa treatments in a beautiful home-like setting. Our signature spa services have been the focus of articles in "W" Magazine, "O" the Oprah Magazine and numerous others. Read on for a current sampling of just how fabulous the dream experience can be.

DAYSPA Magazine, April 2009
Nestled in a charming 125-year-old Colonial house, Dream Spa & Hairspa is sophisticated and upscale – just like the affluent coastal Connecticut town of Westport in which it’s located. And like it’s hometown, which was the first in the Nutmeg State to ban plastic bags from grocery stores, Dream Spa is one of the only facilities of its kind in the area to make major eco-friendly moves.
“We needed to and – more importantly – wanted to get with the times,” says owner Lori Dodd, who opened Dream Spa in 2000 after spending 20 years in the retail, design and beauty industries. “We wanted to do the right thing for ourselves, and it also helps us get ahead of the competition. The modern spa guest asks for green, looks for green and makes decisions based on how green your services and environment are.”
That’s why Dodd recently reopened Dream Spa after a thorough renovation. She used it as a way to jump-start the total greening of her spa environment. But despite this step toward the industry’s future, Dodd and her team still have a strong grounding in well-established spa traditions. Read More.

"The Perfect Touch. Warm stone facial: Like its predecessor, the warm stone massage, this facial involves heated river rocks. Tiny warm stones are placed on the cheeks, chin and forehead to relax muscles. (Available at Dream Spa & Apothecary, Westport, Connecticut)"

"W" Magazine, April 2001
"Spas are finding ways to give jaded sybarites something to restore their faith in sensual pleasure... treatments that explore the boundaries of self-pampering. Twenty stones, four hands, one body. We're warning you: After you've had two therapists knead and stroke your body with heated river stones, you won't want to go back to the mundane one-therapist massage. During the initial moments of the hour-long Rock Your World treatment at Dream Spa & Apothecary, situated in a charming 200-year-old house, you may feel a little self-conscious. Are the masseusses elbowing each other over your cellulite? Smirking about your tan lines? And who's doing what, exactly? But after five minutes of undivided attention from two sets of skilled hands and 20-odd hot rocks, you'll find yourself floating in a space somewhere between relaxation and euphoria. 1220 Post Road East, Westport. Connecticut; 203.454.3454; www.dreamdayspa.com"

The soft gray tones of the décor, the scented candles perfuming the air and the sophisticated minimal decorating scheme contribute to a business ambience dedicated to well-being.
