Original artwork by Salida's own Lindsay Sutton-Stephens!

Contemporary folk artist Lindsay Sutton-Stephens has been crafting “other art” in the Arkansas River Valley for the past 18 years. Originally from the Southeast, LSS infuses her work with the vibrant colors and distinctiveness of her roots, harmonizing them with the unique essence of southern Colorado.

LSS is dedicated to producing art that brings joy. Her creations are meant to be enjoyed without pretense, as she humorously notes, “this ain’t fine art, honey.” Each piece is born from a spirit of optimism, gratitude, and a lighthearted approach to our world.

When she's not busy creating, LSS loves to spend time with her family amidst the beauty of the mountains and rivers. Recently, she has also begun exploring the realm of real estate.

Enjoy a customized herbal scalp and hair treatment with Lauren Stoughton of ROOTED Scalp & Hair.

Laurel Stoughton is a certified Trichologist (2025) and licensed Cosmetologist since 2001, with two years as a Cosmetology Instructor.

Her love for Trichology began years ago when dealing with scalp issues related to hormonal shifts. More recently, a hysterectomy and life-threatening infection lead to worsened scalp issues and hair thinning.

Since returning to work behind the chair, she has noticed an increased amount of scalp disorders and hair thinning in clients but didn’t have the right tools to address their concerns. Inspired by a friend and former colleague’s success in helping her clients through clinical Trichology practices, she enrolled in a certification program and began working one-on-one with clients to help find solutions to their hair and scalp concerns.

She looks forward to helping you on your scalp and hair health journey!

This facial also includes your choice of the following exfoliation services: dermaplaning, microdermabrasion or enzymatic exfoliating booster (PCA exclusive product). Each of these services will brighten, tighten and make your skin glow. The ultimate in relaxation and clarification!​​​​​

• ​Dermablading: A highly-effective exfoliation treatment. The procedure gently “shaves” the surface of your skin, removing dead skin cells and fine, vellus hairs or “peach fuzz” in the process.
• Microdermabrasion: Gently buffs your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage.
• Enzymatic Exfoliating Booster: An applied serum helps to remove dead skin cells over the next two - four days for a fresh dewy look.

Enjoy your very own BUNGLE JUNGLE monster!

The Bungled Jungle is the collaborative effort of two silly people, Pat and Suzanne.

Each sculpture is an original creation–no molds are used — everything is one of a kind. The process starts with a metal/wood or plastic armature that is then built up with layers of rubber, plastic, metal, plaster and clay…each piece will have approximately 13 separate materials interlayered.

It takes between 2 weeks to a month or more of daily dabbling to complete each sculpture–depending on its size and complexity.

Not only are these monsters/beasts and varmints lovely to look at, they also come with COMPLETE DENTAL COVERAGE…. AND can be used as personal flotation devices in case of flooding.

Enjoy this hour long float session at Anupa Wellness PLUS 3 Vitamin B12 injections!

Flotation Therapy is a complete relaxation session for mind, body, and spirit experienced within a Dreampod; a soundproof, lightless environment within a shallow pool of 10 inches of purified filtered water warmed to body temperature and 1000 lbs of dissolved Epsom Salts. This creates a density that allows your body to float effortlessly, free from gravity and all external stimuli, taking all pressure off of tired joints, bones, muscles, and mind. Floatation therapy is a proven holistic health treatment that is backed by decades of scientific research. Athletes, students, first responders, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone that is in need of an escape from life's daily stressors may all benefit from floating.  

You are in complete control of the floatation environment.  You can adjust your experience by keeping the lid open, leaving the lights illuminated or having music play. As you usher in calm and healing, simply step into the pod, close the lid, and lay back as you gently turn your attention to your breath and relax.
