Metro Detroit Mom's Purple RV A Spa On Wheels

Mar 3, 2021

The 26-foot-long purple RV parked outside a hotel in Detroit stands out on its own, but what’s inside is a whole different world — a variety of massages, stone therapy, facials, manicures, and more.

It’s a spa on wheels, the first in Michigan and the brainchild of a single mom who, when confronted by the pandemic, continued to offer community members self-care services, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Brandy Ali, owner and founder of Spa Land Mobile Spa, has made it her mission for almost three years to serve as many clients in need as possible in metro Detroit, she said. Now, she is looking to move her business onto wheels in a luxury mobile spa that launched recently.

“My mission is to serve as many people as I can all over metro Detroit and all the 50 states as well,” Ali said. “A lot of people have been under a lot of stress and they haven’t gotten a massage in a while. ... So I figured with this RV, it’d be perfect to just pull up to people.”

Ali has operated out of The Inn At 97 Winder, a boutique luxury hotel in Detroit, for over about three years, but she has also traveled to customers around metro Detroit with her equipment to provide them with the services they need.

With services such as deep tissue and Swedish massages, hot stones, reflexology and prenatal therapy, the prices range from $80 to $160.

“Since the pandemic, we got kind of creative,” Ali said. “Now we have a chef, aesthetician, nail tech and massage therapist. Whatever else you want, we make it possible for you.”
