For many, the idea of a massage or facial feels like a rare indulgence, something saved for a birthday, holiday, or special occasion. But for Terri Geist, these services represent something much deeper—a pathway to health, balance, and overall well-being.

Terri, who grew up in Park City and attended Valley Center schools, has spent most of her life in the Wichita area. With a background in bookkeeping and business, her career path took an unexpected turn years ago when she began struggling with back issues. At the time, she was regularly seeing a chiropractor, who suggested that massage therapy could be a valuable part of her healing process. That advice sparked what would become both a personal discovery and a professional calling.

While living in Fort Worth for several years, Terri came across Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, a nationally recognized brand known for its professionalism, relaxing atmosphere, and high-quality treatments. She was so impressed with her experience that, upon returning home to Wichita, she decided to open a location herself.

Today, Terri owns and manages Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, conveniently located at 2835 N Maize Rd, Suite 189 in Wichita. The spa provides a wide range of massage and facial services, each tailored to meet the unique needs of individual clients. From therapeutic deep tissue massage to soothing hot stone treatments, and from anti-aging facials to customized skincare regimens, the team at Hand & Stone is committed to creating experiences that leave guests feeling renewed and cared for.

But what truly sets Terri’s spa apart isn’t just the menu of services—it’s the philosophy behind them. “We do the little things,” Terri says. “Our goal is to make sure every customer feels like their visit is the best hour of their month.” That attention to detail has earned the spa both a loyal following and impressive recognition. Hand & Stone Wichita West is part of the company’s prestigious Reputation 800 Club, an honor reserved for locations that maintain outstanding customer satisfaction ratings.

Clients consistently echo the spa’s welcoming and professional atmosphere in their reviews. One recent guest noted, “The staff was very professional. The ambiance was relaxing. My preferences were taken into account.” Another added, “The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and I always leave feeling relaxed and special.” Whether it’s a massage from therapist Shala, Makayla’s personalized care, or Darcy’s expertise with facials, customers leave knowing they’ve received not only quality service but also genuine hospitality.

Terri emphasizes that massage and facials are not just luxuries, but essential to overall wellness. “A massage or facial has often been looked upon as a nicety. Today more than ever, it has been discovered as a healthy procedure for both mind and body,” she explains. This perspective resonates with many in the community, especially as people look for ways to manage stress and prioritize self-care in their daily lives.

The spa’s membership program also makes it easy for clients to incorporate regular treatments into their routines. With flexible options, members can choose between massages or facials each month, ensuring that relaxation and rejuvenation become consistent parts of their lifestyle rather than occasional splurges.

Hand & Stone’s national reputation also plays a role in its success. With more than 600 spas in the United States and over 60 in Canada, the brand has become a trusted name in wellness. Additionally, Hand & Stone is the second-largest seller of Dermalogica skincare products, behind only Ulta, which speaks to the quality of the treatments and products available.

As the seasons change, Terri reminds neighbors that spa gift cards make meaningful presents for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. After all, what better gift than the opportunity to relax and recharge?

Terri’s journey from client to owner is a testament to the transformative power of massage and skincare. What started as a personal need has blossomed into a thriving business that brings comfort, health, and joy to countless others in the Wichita community.

For those looking to make wellness a regular part of life—or simply enjoy a much-needed break from the busyness of the world—Terri and her team at Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa are ready to welcome you.
