ABOUT US
A Sanctuary for Healing and Renewal in Jacksonville
At Isla Day Spa, self-care is more than a luxury. It is a vital act of stewardship for both body and spirit. Located in the heart of Lakewood, near the San Jose area and just minutes from the St. Johns River, our wellness center welcomes those seeking relief from stress, recovery from illness, or a restorative pause from the demands of caregiving. Each ritual, from our signature facials to our therapeutic massages, is guided by compassion and skill.
Our mission-driven approach ensures every visit restores your sense of balance and beauty while directly supporting our sister non-profit, Isla Mae. At Isla Day Spa, your healing journey helps lift others, making every moment of stillness a gift to yourself and your community.

Beauty Meets Purpose
Where Self-Care Supports Women Helping Women Heal
Founded by Heather Johnson, Isla Day Spa began with a simple vision: to make luxury esthetics a force for good in Jacksonville. Our approach is rooted in the belief that those who nurture others—whether through caregiving, parenting, or supporting loved ones through illness—deserve a place to rest, release, and renew. Every service, from Hydrofacials and diamond-tip microdermabrasion to specialized prenatal massage and oncology-safe skincare, is provided by licensed spa professionals trained in compassionate, trauma-informed care.
What sets Isla Day Spa apart is our commitment to giving back. A percentage of every service supports Isla Mae, our non-profit dedicated to helping local women in recovery from loss, cancer, or major life transitions. Here, luxury is not just about indulgence. It is about creating a cycle of restoration and hope for our entire community.
Rituals of Restoration
Clinical Excellence, Restorative Rituals, and Compassionate Care
Our service menu is thoughtfully designed to address both physical and emotional needs. Clients visiting from Lakewood, San Jose, and across Jacksonville choose Isla Day Spa for results-focused treatments such as LED skin therapy, lymphatic drainage, and specialty body rituals that help release what no longer serves. The Headspa Collection brings scalp renewal and a quieting of the mind, while our Nail and Hair Rituals honor hands that give and the 'crown you never take off.' For expectant mothers, the Mother’s Embrace Prenatal Massage offers gentle support during vulnerable seasons.
Our focus on stewardship means that every monthly moment to rest is not an indulgence, but a responsible act of care for yourself and those who rely on you. Memberships provide flexibility and ongoing support, with unused services rolling over for up to six months, because healing is a journey, not a deadline.
