WHAT A CONCEPT!
The GayLea gang is about to get its wellness on!
Your Vortex Visit:
WEDNESDAY APRIL 16th, 1:30-5:30
The best part about a Vortex mini-retreat is that you get to connect with colleagues and even better, get some serious ‘me time’. You’ll choose your self care sessions, we’ll take care of the schedule, then all you have to do is show up and enjoy!
Our team will take you into each of your sessions, then leave you to relax and recharge. You’ll have some time with the crew before, between and after sessions in our cozy lounge. It’s the best of both worlds.
Let’s get this party started.
Once you know what sessions you want to do, simply fill out the following form in 2 simple steps. Based on availability, we’ll take your requests, schedule your sessions, then send you confirmation and waivers.

red light
- recharge

- 10 min
This one’s short and sweet with a little bit of heat. Rock out while red and near infrared waves stimulate energy production on a cellular level to improve circulation, increase energy, accelerate recovery and much more. Feel recharged and rejuvenated fast.
Red Light uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and underlying tissues to energize your cellular machinery. This stimulates ATP production, and enhances cellular respiration.
The low-level lights allow your body to soak up a long list of great benefits. These sessions are great for skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds. Exposing your whole body to the red and near-infrared lightwaves allows your body to feel the energy production happening in real time. Your cells are triggered to produce energy and get your body working optimally.

NuCalm is the world’s only patented neuroscience technology clinically proven to naturally relax the brain and body and give you relief from stress and anxiety within minutes – yes, we said minutes – and provide you deep relaxation and recovery.

halo
- relax
- rejuvenate
- respirate
- 30 / 50 min
Enjoy a brief escape that leaves your mind and muscles relaxed. Think “salt cave”, but make it modern, private and turn up the heat a bit. Low-level infrared meets halotherapy for a relaxing experience that’s fantastic for your skin and lungs. It’s like a trip to the beach… without the sand all in your business.
The halo session is where salt particles and infrared waves join forces to give your body some real goodness.
This session adds low-intensity infrared heat to warm the body and help open your pores and give you the maximum benefit of the salt. The infrared heat is lower than our infrared session (around 102°F). The lower heat still gives you the benefits of infrared waves, but doesn’t get you so sweaty that the salt is just rolling off your body and negating any of its positive effects.
As you breathe, the salt particles act like a sponge and draw out moisture, mucus and impurities, kill microbes and help with inflammation in both the airways and on the skin.
So, basically this is like a private, heated salt cave. It feels like you’re hanging out on a warm summer day by the ocean.
benefits
✨ antimicrobial + antibacterial
✨ anti-inflammatory
✨ strengthens respiratory health
✨ strengthens immune resilience
✨ breaks up moisture & mucus
✨ enhances skin health

- 60 min
Get your sweat on in the only private infrared sauna suites in South Georgian Bay. Listen to music, meditations or watch Netflix on a big screen. Enjoy your own fridge with cold towels and of course a private shower to cool down. It’s ‘me time’ redefined… and it’s amazing.
Infrared saunas work by raising your core body temperature, producing a deep detoxifying sweat at the cellular level. While traditional saunas heat up the air, infrared saunas heat your body directly using wavelengths of light that are outside our visible range.
The full-spectrum infrared heaters produce near, mid and far-infrared waves that generate a gentle heat from within. The waves penetrate the skin, muscles, joints and tissues to help improve circulation, oxygen flow and stimulate a gentle detox by helping to remove impurities on a cellular level.
If you’re not into that “thick wall of heat” that comes with a traditional sauna, an infrared session is likely right up your alley.
Afterwards, rinse off in your private shower, hang out in the lounge, and then re-enter the world refreshed.
benefits
✨ aids in detoxification

compression
- relax
- recover
- recirculate
- 30 / 45 min
Give that hard-working body of yours a bear hug. We use the Normatec Pro recovery system to squeeze the $#!% out of your lower half. Choose between legs (boots) or hips (shorts) then lay back and relax in your private pod. You can thank us later.
Kick back in your personal wellness pod for an incredible recovery session that feels really damn good.
Compression is an effective method by which controlled pressure is applied to your legs in order to increase blood flow and the efficiency of the lymphatic and venous systems. This is an incredible dynamic compression technology that uses compressed air to mobilize fluid and improve circulation so you can recover faster, and feel fully revived.
Step into your power boots or strap on the hip attachment depending on what your body needs.
So whether you’re fresh off the slopes or bike trails and want to step into some recovery, or you just want a robot to massage your legs or hips for a while – the compression session truly is a game changer!
Afterwards, rinse off in your private shower, hang out in the lounge, and then re-enter the world refreshed.

✨ speed up recovery time
✨ reduce swelling
✨ enhanced lymphatic drainage
✨ remove lactic acid
✨ improved range of movement
