Backcountry Bodywork by Ali Route, LMT
5845 E Eight Mile Gap Rd, Kanab, UT 84741
Down a winding gravel road, three miles from Highway 89, this studio sits on ten quiet acres surrounded by golden mesas. The drive feels remote, but downtown Kanab is just fifteen minutes away. Head spa treatments here include steam, aromatherapy, and Shirodhara, an ancient technique involving a steady flow of warm oil across the forehead. Exfoliation and reflexology complete the offerings, all performed with steady, calm gestures. The recurring praise concerns the lasting relaxation and connection to nature, especially when treatments are held outdoors on the nearby cliffs. A meditation labyrinth winds through the property, inviting quiet reflection before or after a session. Complementary tea is served in the studio, a modest space marked by prayer flags fluttering in the desert breeze.
