SUNSHINE CITY MASSAGE and SPA | ST. PETE, FL
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRACTICE

Founded in 2017,
Sunshine City was created to be different.

More than a spa,
More human than clinical.

From a solo practitioner to a team of professionals with shared expectation for how people should be treated: Listen first, treat thoughtfully, and tailor the experience to the person in the room.

SUNSHINE CITY MASSAGE and SPA WAS CREATED TO FILL THE NICHE
BETWEEN THE TRADITIONAL DAY SPA AND THE CLINICAL PRACTICE.

Founded in 2017. By a massage therapist who wanted something better than the ordinary.
We have grown one client at a time into a carefully chosen team of massage therapists and estheticians. Growth never meant giving up the small-practice standard.

Every practitioner is selected for both their skill & professionalism AND their ability to provide genuinely individualized care. Different specialties. Different personalities. Every practitioner brings their own strengths.

We pair skilled hands, advanced techniques, and serious professional standards with the warmth and attention of a small local practice.
A shared expectation for how people should be treated:
Listen first, treat thoughtfully, and tailor the experience to the person in the room.

Our introductory offers are designed
to help you find the right care.

First Visit Facial Experience

$100 Introductory Rate

A 60-minute diagnostic facial designed to identify what’s causing your skin concerns and build a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your First Facial

Many introductory facials focus on relaxation or product sampling. This visit is different.

Your first facial is designed to evaluate your skin, identify contributing factors behind your concerns, and determine the most effective path forward. Whether you’re dealing with acne, sensitivity, dehydration, pigmentation, redness, or signs of aging, we’ll help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what can realistically improve it.

This is less about a temporary glow and more about creating a plan for healthier skin. This is a structured, diagnostic facial designed to assess your skin, calm inflammation, improve barrier function, AND create visible change from the first visit.

• NOT a quick cleanse.
• NOT a rushed intro special.

During your appointment, we will:

  • Discuss your skin concerns, goals, and current routine
  • Evaluate skin behavior, sensitivity, hydration, and barrier function
  • Perform a customized facial tailored to your skin’s current needs
  • Explain what we’re seeing and why it matters
  • Recommend treatments, products, or home care only if appropriate

Every treatment is customized. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol.

This facial is ideal if you:

• Feel overwhelmed by skincare advice online
• Have tried products that aren’t working
• Struggle with acne, sensitivity, redness, or dryness
• Want healthier, stronger skin rather than quick fixes
• Are interested in healthy aging and prevention
• Simply want professional guidance on where to start

No prior facials or skincare experience required.

By the end of your visit, you’ll have a clearer understanding of:

  • What your skin actually needs right now
  • Which concerns should be prioritized first
  • What treatments may help achieve your goals
  • Which products are worth your investment
  • What to book next, and why

You’ll leave with a plan, not a sales pitch.

INTRODUCTORY FACIAL: $100

• REGULAR PRICING: $150+

BOOK YOUR FACIAL

Not sure where to start?

That’s exactly what these are for.
Go ahead… try both.
Your first visit is customized around you, with time to understand your goals and help determine what care makes sense going forward.

First Visit MASSAGE Experience

$80 Introductory Rate

A 60-minute massage session designed to understand your body’s needs and determine the most effective path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your First Massage

Many introductory massages are designed to give you a quick sample of a service.

This first visit is designed to understand your body. On your first visit we will be sure to do a thorough intake so we can discuss your concerns, identify patterns of tension, pain, stress, and movement restrictions, and determine the approach that will be most effective for you.

Whether your goal is relaxation, pain relief, improved mobility, or ongoing wellness, the focus is on finding the right fit rather than delivering a generic massage.

During your appointment, we will:

  • Discuss your goals, concerns, and health history
  • Identify areas of tension, discomfort, or restriction
  • Determine the pressure and style that best fits your needs
  • Customize your session based on what your body needs that day
  • Recommend a long-term approach only if it would benefit you

Every session is tailored to the individual.
No cookie-cutter routines.

This massage is ideal if you:

  • Carry stress in your neck, shoulders, or low back
  • Experience recurring tension or discomfort
  • Are unsure which type of massage to book
  • Want therapeutic work without feeling intimidated
  • Need a regular self-care routine but don’t know where to start
  • Simply want to feel better in your body

Whether you’re seeking relaxation or relief, we’ll help determine the best path forward.

By the end of your visit, you’ll have a better understanding of:

  • Your body’s primary tension and stress patterns
  • Which massage style is most appropriate for your goals
  • Areas that may benefit from ongoing attention
  • How often treatment may be helpful
  • What to book next, and why

You’ll leave with greater clarity, greater comfort, and a plan that makes sense for your body.

  • “I received a gift card to come here from a friend, but I will definitely be coming back! Michelle pampered me within an inch of my life with the facial she gave me! The treatment was so friendly, professional, and luxurious! She addressed my needs, and treated my skin just right! I left relaxed and glowing. First time facials are $100, which is such a steal! I will definitely come back and recommend to friends.”

  • “I had the Sunrise Glow Brightening facial with Michelle this morning and wow, it was amazing! My skin has never felt better, it’s brighter and smoother than it’s been in years. The microdermabrasion, red light therapy and products were top notch, but her scalp massage stole the show. It took everything in me not to fall asleep! I see Jordan, Jaren and Trystian for deep tissue massages and now I’ll be adding facials with Michelle into the mix regularly too! I can’t wait to book a full spa day next time! Jordan and his team are truly the best in St. Pete.”
