My Ilaya experience is not just another spa experience. It is something special and personal that made me want to visit every month. I am a spa lover, and this is part of my self-care maintenance. Honestly, I can give up a little of my shopping just to save some money to indulge in Ilaya.

It was definitely one of the highlights of my Iloilo trip. Much needed wellness retreat. You can tell that so much love was put into the planning.

We are equally grateful to experience this! Atho is such a wonderful host. All of the activities are well thought of and I just love the Ilonggo back stories behind it. It's wonderful that this business supports single mothers and PWD. We are super relaxed and rejuvenated.

Last month, me and my family had the opportunity to experience Access Bars. I was able to get an Access Facelift as well. After our first session, we came back after a week for a second one. I felt lighter after the sessions and been feeling more spiritually connected and in tuned to nature.

Hello, Atho! I just want you to know that everything you shared with me during our session has come true! From my husband's 'medical' condition to my professional situation — everything unfolded as you said.
