Our philosophy

When we say Every. Body. Welcome. we mean it. Cassie Sampson, BA, LMT, opened East Village Spa in 2008 to create a comfortable and welcoming  environment for guests, and to elevate professional massage therapy, skin care, and nail care services in Iowa. She treats her team members as her most valued customers and the true experts they are. This creates the kind of positive workplace where service providers are empowered, engaged, and truly care about their guests. Instead of investing in fancy amenities we have invested in amazing people and provided them with the tools and benefits for career longevity. While we aren't the spa you'd visit to enjoy a sauna and lounge in a robe, we are the place for people looking to enjoy lasting therapeutic relationships with service providers who are well-cared for. Schedule with one of nearly 20 skilled  massage therapists, estheticians, and nail technicians and learn why we were voted Des Moines' Best Spa for a decade!

We are moving!

300 East Locust Des Moines, new home of East Village Spa in September 2022

East Village Spa is moving to 300 East Locust in September!

Our move allows us to expand our footprint to 6000 sf, with more treatment rooms, space for additional service providers and cool new treatments like a Nuvola dry floatation hydro-massage table from Italy (coming soon!)  


Our reception and retail area will have floor to ceiling windows with a downtown view. You'll love the spacious nail room with comfortable and more accessible furnishings. Our treatment rooms will be quieter as they are not facing a busy street. We'll be a short elevator ride away from East Village Chiropractic, and one building over from our favorite pastries at Scenic Route Bakery!


Moving will ensure that we we'll have safe, easy and affordable parking long term for both guests and employees with a new city ramp next door, free parking on the bridges, and tons of on-street parking with new smart meters. It was important to us to stay connected to the East Village and Downtown Des Moines, and this feels like the best spot to welcome our guests for years to come. Follow us on social media for updates! Our tentative plan (if there are no construction delays) is to be closed the week of Labor Day to move and get comfortable in our new home.
