The news comes as wellness businesses across Peoria report steady demand from both longtime regulars and a growing number of visitors drawn to the desert lifestyle.
"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Michael Ortega, spa owner in Peoria.
Staff say appointment requests have climbed roughly 25 percent since word spread locally. The business currently employs 12 licensed practitioners and plans to add more positions if demand keeps pace.
"We're proud of what this means for Peoria and the people who live here." — Michael Ortega
