Curious about Sojo Spa Club in Edgewater, NJ? In this episode, we give our listeners an honest review of one of the most popular day spas in the NYC area—known for its Korean-inspired bathing rituals, stunning skyline views, and unique treatments like the *scorching* hot Volcanic Sand Bath. Joining me are my sisters Angie and Michelle, who share their honest reactions to everything from the cedar Hinoki soaking pool to being buried in 130-degree sand (spoiler: it got intense).

We talk about:

• -What to expect at Sojo Spa Club: thermal baths, saunas, and global spa rituals

• -Is the Volcanic Sand Bath worth it—or way too much?

• -Tips for first-timers: pricing, transportation, food, and more

• -How Sojo is helping bring accessible bathing culture to the US

  
  

• Whether you're planning a wellness weekend or just curious about modern bathhouses, this episode is your full Sojo Spa guide.
