Spavia Set to Open in Cedar Knolls
Locally Owned Neighborhood Spa Helps Guest Relax, Escape and Thrive

CEDAR KNOLLS, New Jersey –Spavia, a day spa that provides a luxurious and customized experience at an affordable price, is opening its third New Jersey location at 178 East Hanover Avenue in Cedar Knolls. The resort-like neighborhood spa is expected to open on March 11 for the community to frequently relax, escape and thrive. Additionally, there will be a grand opening event on April 2.
Spavia was created to change the perception of spas and refute the idea that the luxury experience can only be achieved at a costly price. VIA in many languages means the road or pathway—Spavia is the affordable pathway to wellness, aiming to make a positive impact one guest at a time. Every guest is offered high-quality, customized, high-end treatments and affordable spa services in a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
Spavia specialists, massage therapists and estheticians, alleviate stress and tension through customizable massage, facial and body treatments. At Spavia the one-of-a-kind experience is about helping guests relax, escape and thrive to be the best versions of themselves. From the music selection, scented lotions, level of conversation with the specialist to the seasoned tea options, the guest creates their ideal experience. Before and after the treatments, guests are encouraged to decompress in the retreat room in a spa robe, sandals and a warm neck wrap and includes additional amenities such as lockers and showers. Spavia believes in making sure guests leave on their own time so they can exit when they’re fully refreshed and ready.

“At Spavia we enjoy promoting health and wellness among the community,” said David Tittensor, co-owner of Spavia Morristown. “We look forward to seeing the transformation guests experience from the moment they enter our spa to the positive impact and difference when they leave feeling rejuvenated and recharged.”
Cedar Knolls newest day spa will be owned and operated by David and Charlene Tittensor. David has an extensive background as an IT executive primarily in the financial industry. After 28 years in corporate America he and his wife were ready for a change. They looked for a business they could open together and they fell in love with the Spavia business model and day spa environment. The husband and wife team are eager for the community to experience the wide-range of services, including massage, facials, body treatments, and waxing, and to see for themselves how Spavia is unlike any other.
