Founded by Leslie Goeres, Soak & Sage is dedicated to Functional wellness, social experiences, and contrast therapy.
The Founder
I’m Leslie Goeres the founder of Soak & Sage Seattle’s premier holistic day spa. Let me share my journey and passion that led me to create this oasis of relaxation and rejuvenation.
In a previous life, I was deeply entrenched in the corporate world, pursuing dreams of success in the realm of multifamily and commercial real estate investing. Though I achieved success, I soon realized that the demands of that corporate lifestyle were wearing me down, and I yearned for a more meaningful path.
My awakening began when I embarked on a holistic health journey, seeking balance and vitality beyond the confines of my offices. As I explored various wellness practices and ancient traditions from around the world, I discovered the transformative power of holistic rituals. These ancient customs not only nurtured my physical and mental well-being but also ignited a profound passion within me.

The Inspiration
Inspired by my newfound wisdom and a desire to share these holistic practices with others, I decided to leave my corporate life behind and embark on a mission to create a sanctuary for healing and self-care. Thus, Soak & Sage was born.
At Soak & Sage we have curated a collection of rituals and treatments from diverse cultures that have been refined over centuries. These ancient secrets, combined with modern spa techniques, are the cornerstone of our offerings. Our aim is to provide our guests with a holistic experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Our focus on functional contrast hydrotherapy is such a unique offering for the area.
The Passion
My passion for holistic wellness has taken me on a remarkable journey around the globe, spanning over 15 countries, where I’ve explored the wellness practices and traditions of so many cultures. My quest led me to the enchanting hammam baths, the healing Onsen’s of Japan, the therapeutic steam rooms sprinkled throughout various countries, and the rejuvenating saunas of South America. It was in these diverse cultures that I encountered the wisdom of ancient rituals and healing therapies, each unique in its ability to restore and rejuvenate. I have even incorporated some of the rituals from my Native American Choctaw heritage.
The Journey
My own journey towards a holistic lifestyle has been guided by my passion for fitness and well-being. As an avid triathlete who has completed a half Ironman, I understand the importance of maintaining a strong, healthy body. In my youth, I was a competitive gymnast and swimmer, which instilled in me a lifelong commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This foundation has been instrumental in both my personal wellness journey and the creation of Soak & Sage.
One common thread that I discovered during my travels was the profound connection between nature and well-being. I’ve developed a deep-seated passion for incorporating plants and plant medicines into our holistic treatments at Soak & Sage. It’s remarkable how the Earth’s bounty can provide us with natural remedies and healing modalities, enriching our experiences, and promoting overall well-being.
HOLISTIC WELLNESS
My wanderlust and dedication to holistic wellness have paved the way for Soak & Sage to offer a harmonious blend of time-honored traditions and innovative approaches, where the healing power of plants is harnessed to create a sanctuary of well-being like no other. We are committed to bringing the world’s finest wellness practices to Seattle, so you can experience the transformative magic of these global traditions right here in the Seattle Metro area.
In addition to my commitment to holistic health, I am also a devoted mother of two. This role has deepened my understanding of the significance of self-care, not only for personal well-being but also as a means to be the best possible role model for my children. I’m motivated to provide a space where individuals and families can prioritize their own health and well-being in a nurturing and supportive environment.
Here, we strive to create an environment where you can escape the demands of daily life and embrace the rituals of self-care that have been cherished for generations. I invite you to join us on a journey of holistic wellness, where you can nurture your body, mind, and soul, just as I have on my own path to fulfillment and balance.
Thank you for choosing us as your destination for well-being, and I look forward to meeting you in person soon.
