RUMOURS SPALON: GROUNDED IN WELLNESS

A story of community, healing, and the power of starting fresh

Story by Joycelyne Fadojutimi/www.infinitieplusmag.com

Inspiration and Intention
“I didn’t want to see something beautiful fade away,” stated Delcine Johnson, current owner of Rumours Spalon. When the spa’s original owner was ready to move on, Ms. Johnson couldn’t bear to watch it close. “It wasn’t so much a lightning-bolt moment of inspiration,” she explains. “The idea just grew from the thought of not letting an established, beloved business disappear.”

That seed became the foundation for a new vision—one that honored the spa’s history while expanding its offerings to reflect a holistic approach to modern wellness. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how essential it is to prioritize health and balance. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do,” said Ms. Johnson.

Signature Experiences
From hormone balancing to hydrating facials, the spa blends medical-grade treatments with restorative self-care.

Most Requested Treatments

• BioTe Hormone Replacement Therapy – A comprehensive, physician-guided program featuring a detailed blood analysis and hormone pelleting by a certified Nurse Practitioner.
• Deluxe Hydrafacial – A favorite among clients seeking luminous, refreshed skin.
• Glo2 and Glacial Facials – Tailored, skin-specific treatments that adapt to each client’s needs in the moment.

“Every experience is customized. No two clients are ever exactly alike—so no two facials should be either.” Long-term wellness programs are at the heart of the spa’s philosophy. “We don’t believe in quick fixes,” Johnson says. “We love helping our clients grow through their wellness journey over time.”

Educating and Empowering Clients
The spa’s mission extends beyond its walls. “We want our clients to create lasting lifestyle changes. Our role is to guide and support that process,” said Johnson. Hence, each new client begins with a detailed consultation, ensuring their goals and expectations are clearly understood. Educational materials and Service Highlight Days—where clients can meet providers, explore treatments, and learn in a relaxed setting—make wellness approachable, not intimidating. “One client told me she just likes to come in and sit,” Johnson happily said. “That means everything to me—this space feels peaceful enough to just be.”
Community and Collaboration
“Wellness is stronger when it’s shared.” Rooted in the Longview community, the spa thrives on local collaboration. A yoga studio and oxygen therapy center on the property create a true wellness collective. “We love being able to refer clients across different modalities—yoga, massage, oxygen therapy—so they can experience full-circle care,” Johnson said. From participating in local 5Ks to offering educational talks, Delcine sees community involvement as an extension of the spa’s mission.

Behind the Business
On the contrary, owning a wellness spa isn’t all candles and calm. “It’s chaotic sometimes,” she laughs. “A day might start with today’s appointments and end with plans three months ahead.” Her biggest lesson?
“Do what you do best—and turn loose of the rest.” And the biggest misconception? “That it’s easy and sparkly! It’s a 24/7 job. But I’m lucky to have a wonderful team by my side.”
Personal Wellness
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.” Despite her busy schedule, Delcine walks her talk. Her self-care essentials include regular exercise, yoga, and quiet time to recharge. “Consistency is my best stress relief. My workouts and my quiet moments keep me grounded.” Her advice to readers? “Find what grounds you—it’s different for everyone—and do it consistently.”

Thinking Out Loud
For aspiring wellness entrepreneurs, her message is both realistic and heartfelt. “Do it for the clients—they’re what make it worth it. And be prepared to work hard. It’s demanding but deeply rewarding.” What does Ms. Delcine Johnson hope every client feels after a visit? “That they received more than just a service. I want them to feel like they’ve been cared for—and that they’re welcome to come back, even just for a cup of coffee.”
Trends, Challenges, and What’s Next
As the wellness industry continues to evolve, Rumours Spalon remains open to what the future brings.
“I’m not sure exactly what’s next—it might even surprise me!” Whatever comes, one thing is certain: this spa’s story will continue to be one of heart, healing, and genuine human connection.
