Holistic Forest Spa on Salt Spring Island offering forest hydrotherapy with cedar sauna, cedar cold plunge, cedar hot tub and covered forest lounge.
Soothe body, mind & soul with therapeutic and relaxation massage, organic facials and skincare. Inspired by nature’s ability to offer a sanctuary of solace, Julie James founded Solace Organic Spa in 2004. We believe that wellness is born from nurturing one’s inner beauty. We are a boutique spa on Salt Spring Island, BC, nestled within the peaceful island rainforest. An intimate connection with nature can be found while relaxing in our Spa Ritual: forest hydrotherapy circuit – a revitalizing thermal ritual that has been practiced for centuries. Here you will experience our West coast forest spa with cedar hot tub, cold plunge, sauna and relaxation lounge. Each session is private, allowing you to cycle freely through the stages of hot, cold, and rest. This nourishing experience in nature lands within our bodies, flowing into the nearby treatment rooms where professional massage and spa therapists address the entire being – healing body, mind & soul. We formulate small-batch organic skincare, woven into our treatments to carefully restore nature’s rhythm within. Our vision is to provide a harmony of the senses, where you feel connected to self, cared for by our team, and can take time to rest in this busy world.

Team Feature - Sarah ✨ Certified Esalen Massage, Craniosacral, Pre Natal & Spa Therapist
Sarah studied 5rhythms dance and the advanced level of Massage Therapy at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. She has also continued her studies of healing arts through studying and combining both Upledger and Biodynamic Cranio-sacral Therapy, Reiki and Mayan Abdominal Massage.
Born and raised in Quebec, Sarah learned early on how to navigate challenging experiences through expressive arts such as writing, dancing and painting.
Her curiosity and hunger for life took her to the wilderness of the West Coast, where she found a sanctuary for her soul living on Salt Spring Island. As she deepened her relationship with art and movement, she uncovered profound depth, meaning and healing in these practices, especially when combined with nature.
Sarah feels blessed and honoured to share these healing practices with you and create healing spaces for you to soften into.
