Balanced Soul Wellness

Balanced Soul Wellness sits at 1510 Hendricks Ave in San Marco, in a spot the spa itself describes as being built for serenity: think a dedicated relaxation room with heated massage chairs, sauna access, and complimentary beverages for clients waiting between services. It’s a woman-owned day spa run by Kellie Alfonso, who came to the business after more than a decade in health care and fitness (she has an ACE group fitness certification and a background in radiology technology), and the spa reflects that dual interest in wellness and beauty rather than picking just one lane.

The service list is long. On the medical-aesthetics side there’s Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and dermal fillers administered by an APRN injector, plus RF microneedling, Hydrafacials, chemical peels, and dermaplaning. On the spa side, massage therapy covers Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, Thai bodywork, hot stone, four-hand, and cupping, handled by a small roster of licensed massage therapists with credentials ranging from a few years of experience to over a decade, including one therapist who is a former Marine Corps member with sports massage certification. Round that out with waxing, sugaring, spray tanning, manicures and pedicures, and lash and brow services including lash extensions, lash lifts, and brow lamination, and it’s clear this is meant to be a one-stop shop rather than a single-service studio.

What’s worth knowing before booking: this is not a walk-in wax bar. Treatments like injectables and IV or B12 wellness shots are administered by nurse practitioners and registered nurses, so expect a consultation-style visit for those services, not a quick errand. The spa also partners with recognized skincare brands, including Alastin, Juvederm, and Botox Cosmetic, for its injectable and skincare menu, which matters if you’re particular about product lines. First-time injectable clients can currently get a small units bonus with a larger purchase, and the spa runs periodic gift card promotions, so it’s worth checking current offers before you book.

Hours are Monday through Friday 9am to 7pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, and Sunday 10am to 5pm, which is more generous than a lot of Jacksonville spas that close entirely on Sundays. The San Marco location puts it walking distance from the square’s restaurants and shops, so it’s easy to fold a facial or massage into a broader afternoon in the neighborhood. Given the range of services on offer, from a quick lash lift to a full injectables consult, it’s the kind of place worth calling ahead about specifically what you want, since pricing and provider availability will vary by treatment and by which licensed staff member you see.
