What our guests are saying

  • ★★★★★

    “Everything about Kosa was amazing, the facilities, the atmosphere, the service. I felt the serenity to my core in the sanctuary, I would be content to spend the day lounging there with the teas they curated.

    “The body products there for guest to use also smelled amazing, and didn't leave any residue or stickiness. Overall I felt refreshed and relaxed after my few hours there. I told my partner that next year when we're back in Madison he has to join me there because it's amazing.”

    - Deloris

  • ★★★★★

    “I have been very impressed with my couple of visits to KOSA. Having a little oasis like this in Madison is great!! I'd recommend doing the 'Personal Retreat' add-on to your service for a good steam, hot/cold therapy. Their golden milk and chai are both lovely as well.”

    -Meredith

  • ★★★★★

    “I have been going to Kosa Spa every season for about 4 years now and I cannot rave about it enough! I mix it up each time so I have tried a lot and all is fantastic!

    “Love this place and love the seasonal experience!”

    -Courtney

  • ★★★★★

    “I absolutely loved my experience at Kosa. I got the Indian Head massage, which was incredible. Besides the service being great, the ambiance was relaxing and beautiful. The locker room offers a locked locker, showers, robes, and bathrooms. Before your service, you are offered tea and a chance to relax in the prettiest, calmest room of plants and cozy vibes. I will be back!!”

    - Jahlieh

  • ★★★★★

    “From my first greeting at Kosa Spa I felt the warmth and kindness of the staff. The location is gorgeous, very comfortable, very beautiful, you can feel that a lot of thought and love went into the design of the space.

    “If you’re looking for a place to help replenish your energy during a Wisconsin winter, this place will give you life. It is clear that everyone there has a nurturing energy and they genuinely want you to feel at home. Time spent at Kosa is time to connect back to your own energy and to restore vitality with the services they offer. Thank you all for your skill, hospitality and kindness! I highly recommend <3”

  • The practice of Ayurveda involves customizing treatment to an individual’s unique constitution, true nature, or prakriti. The types of constitutions, called doshas, are derived from the five elements of nature, and fall into one of three categories: Vata (wind and air), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth and water). Kapha imbalances include depression, constipation, clogged skin, excessive attachment. This is treated with foods and herbs that energize, lighten, uplift, and warm.

  • Energizing and detoxifying ingredients like ginger, clove, dark greens, beets, black pepper. We are using rosemary and lemon in our infusion and fenugreek and mullein in our tea.

  • Seasonal body wrap and scrub has ginger powder and Kaolin clay in the mask to detoxify and coconut sugar scrub for an energizing full body experience.

    Waking earlier, dry brushing, getting plenty of sun, and eating a light dinner for self-care.
