I visited Pocca Poca for my first time in October 2019 and have since became a member and visited two more times. This spa was such a unique and wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating experience using traditional Japanese healing methods! When I arrived, the process of the Ganban-Yoku (traditional Japanese stone bathing) was explained along with the benefits. I changed into a traditional cloth kimono outfit which was quite comfortable and was provided with a lock and locker for my belongings and a water bottle to use. The staff were so kind and informative and exuded such a calm energy. The 60 minute Shiatsu Massage is a traditional ancient technique and it was a pressure point massage over the kimono outfit. Satoshi is amazing and I have felt so amazing and relaxed after each massage! He really knows how to work out the knots. He also stretches your legs and arms during the massage which felt lovely. After the massage, I began the Ganban-Yoku cycle. There were different mineral stones to choose from, each with their own healing and detoxification benefits. I was on the Jade bed and there were 6 beds in total separated by little dividers. The process involved laying on the warm Jade tiled floor and switching between stomach to back. I did around 15 minutes on each side and took a 5 minute break in between stomach and back. There was a cooling room to take breaks which had a water cooler, essential oil diffuser, comfortable chairs, plants and some books about meditation and mindfulness. Laying on the hot stone bed was such a relaxing and unique experience! I felt beautifully warmed from the inside out and my skin felt soft after the sweat had dried. After I finished, I was provided with a delicious glass of iced hibiscus tea in the lounge area in the lobby. What an excellent way to end off the evening! The entire experience was amazing and complete zen relaxation and I loved the serene atmosphere, calming background music, essential oils diffusing, inspiring books and pretty plants everywhere, beautiful clean and modern facilities and the tea at the end. I felt so refreshed physically and mentally - my body was rejuvenated and mind was calm. The spa has various packages and memberships available which I will look into. They also offer yin yoga classes on the stone beds. My only suggestion would be for the spa to use bamboo or metal straws as opposed to plastic, to be more eco-friendly. I will definitely be back again and can’t wait for my next visit! *UPDATE* On my second and third visit to the spa, I tried the Tourmaline stone bed and it was a beautiful relaxing experience. I also purchased the $35 self care membership which include one Ganban Yoku session per month and a discount on the Shiatsu Massage. Great deal! I look forward to returning more often in the future. When I step into Pocca Poca, I feel like I have entered another world. Absolutely love the peacefulness atmosphere here. This is a special place in Winnipeg. More...

Yesterday was our first time here. My husband and I loved it. My husband had a shiatsu massage and I had the flora Hawaiian massage. We did the Ganba Yoku experience. We loved it. The heat and warmth relieved all our sore muscle and aches. It was all so relaxing and amazing! I had the best sleep I have had in years last night. Can’t wait to come again! Thank you! More...

This was my 2nd time and last time I laid on the towel so I didn’t experience the full benefits of the therapeutic hot stone. This time I sweat and relaxed . I will definitely be coming back more regularly. Thanks again Tomo for a wonderful experience! You’ve got a super happy client today! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ More...

It was the first time for myself and my parents (in their 70's) to experience this amazing type of treatment. My mother's hip and joint pain was relieved by the Ganban-yoku stone bath combined with her shiatsu massage. Dad and I had Ganban-yoku and deep tissue massage. A wonderful experience for us all! Highly recommend any type of treatment. We will be back for sure! More...

It was a very magical experience ✨ We went there last minute yesterday, they were able to take us both (yay) we talked about it all night afterwards AND we slept like babies. It really is a unique experience, the massage was great, I loved the outfits we were provided, I got totally fixated on a book in the cooling room that really helped absorb the whole experience and I really loved the heated stone beds were amazing, we will definitely be going back!

I am so grateful and overjoyed to have found Pocca Poca Spa. I have been trying many things over the past 2 years to help my body find relief from rheumatoid arthritis. I can say that I walked out feeling better than I walked in. I could feel the heat retained in my body after I left and was so relaxed. I look forward to building this into my wellness routine to ease into the cold winter months.❤️pam More...

Although the intro ticket would be valid for 3 months, I used it up within a month because my body has been really pleased. I usually get cold when I sit on a steel chair, but I don't after ganban-yoku experience. It definitely keeps body warm for a longer time than sauna. I also recommend the 15min Facial & Neck massage during your ganban-yoku experience. It made my face become brighter. More...

This is such a great place to be relax. My body, from head to toe got worm up very comfortably and felt so good after that. I went to early September. The day I went was pretty hot but it worked very good. I imagine that it would help my body circulation better in winter. If you haven't been there yet, you should try. I recommend it highly. More...
