Courtney • Růže Spa

Courtney • Růže Spa Follow my journey at Růže Plant Based Spa! Růže is a plant based spa that offers cruelty free, massage and esthetic services.

I'll be sharing my Cruelty-Free beauty lifestyle, beauty tips and tricks from skincare to makeup, and the holistic side of self-care and self-love. Owner and practitioner, Courtney Bergen, is a massage therapist, esthetician and lash technician providing every service you need to look and feel your best. Růže is a tribute to Courtney’s family, the Ruzicka’s, who are immigrants from Czechoslovakia that settled in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1910. Ruzicka, meaning rosebud in Czech, inspired the name Růže meaning rose, a nod to Courtney’s Czech heritage and the embodiment of her personal and professional growth from a rosebud into a fully bloomed rose. Růže is knowing where you came from and blooming into a creation of your own.

Daylight savings said ‘good luck, bestie’ and turned the world dark at 4:30pm. 🌚💀
But that doesn’t mean you get to betray your skin. Wear your damn SPF. Even inside. Even when you’re roaming your house like a cozy fall gremlin. 🍂✨

🍏 Apple stem cells (anti-aging but make it bougie)
💧 Hyaluronic acid (hello, juicy fall hydration)
🌱 Squalane (smooth-as-butter skin incoming)
🧈 Shea butter (nourish me, mommy nature)
🌿 Holy basil (calm + protect)
🧘‍♀️ Ashwagandha (skin stress? not today.)

Sunscreen isn’t just for summer — it’s for every dang day your face exists. If your skin is giving ‘help me,’ I’ve got facial openings this month.
Let me fix your seasonal depression glow. 😌🧴

🐱 I take care of your kitty… the Brazilian way 😏

This spooky season, I’m feline myself — dressed as the cat that definitely knows how to handle a wax pot and a wand 🪄

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped me fill my October books and celebrate 5 freakin’ years of Ruze Spa magic. 🥹💖 You’ve made this witchy cat’s heart so happy.

November’s booking portal is open — and yes, there’s a rare Monday 🧙‍♀️ and Tuesday 🐾 up for grabs!

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing that helps balance your mind, body, and spirit. 🌙✨
It can support emotional release, calm the nervous system, and help you reconnect with your inner peace.
I’m so excited to now offer Reiki sessions at Ruze Spa — a space to rest, reset, and realign your energy. 💆‍♀️💖

Wonderful turnout tonight at ReAlive Metaphysical Shop! Thank you to my regular customers for coming in. Also thank you to both ReAlive and Jessica Mar!! I was super busy during the entire event. I’m going to ice my hands now. 😂

Catch me at tonight for ’s song release party 🌙✨ I’ll be there with my chair (massage, that is 😉) — ready to melt away your stress while you soak in “The Light.”

So I did a thing… 👀
Ruze Spa now has a shiny new stand with a QR code you can scan to leave me a review!
✨ Just a few taps on Google, Facebook, or Yelp and BOOM — you’ve made my small biz heart grow three sizes like the Grinch on Christmas. ✨

Seriously though — your reviews help more than you know. They tell new clients this is the place to get waxed, lashed, massaged, and relaxed 😌💆‍♀️

Only a few October spots left 👻 and the holidays are creeping up fast 🎁
So book your self-care now, review later, and repeat until relaxed.

✨ Skin care + self care kind of night ✨

Testing out a new skincare line to see if it’s Ruze Spa worthy—all while snacking on some sour grapes 🍇 and brainstorming new menu items for you all. Gotta hustle and relax, right?

I treated myself to a massage earlier (yes, I massage myself so I can keep functioning through this busy weekend 🙃), and now I’m icing my shoulder while letting this mask do its magic. This is my version of balance tonight—rest, repair, and a little indulgence.

And since I’m making time for self care, I think you should too. 🫶 Grab your heat pad, pour yourself a cup of tea, kick your feet up, and most importantly—book your next appointment at Ruze Spa.

💆‍♀️ I’ve got openings next week—your future self will thank you.

🌿 The best way to refill your empty cup is through a little intentional self-care. 🌿
At Ruže Spa, every service is designed to help you feel whole again; whether it’s a massage to ease the stress your body’s been carrying, a facial to bring your skin back to life, or energy work that helps your mind finally exhale. 💆‍♀️ When you give yourself this time, you’re not just treating your body… you’re nourishing your soul and creating balance you can carry into everything else you do.
✨ You deserve to feel restored, inside and out. ✨
