Last week, The Fifth Om was named a Bronze Winner in two categories in Maine’s Best of the 207 Awards — Best Day Spa and Best Alternative Therapies.

This statewide recognition arrives as we mark ten years in business in downtown Kennebunk. That timing feels meaningful.

While we are deeply grateful for this honor, what it reflects most clearly is not a single moment but a decade of steady refinement, intentional growth, and a continued commitment to holistic, regulation-based care.

Ten Years of Thoughtful Evolution

From the beginning, The Fifth Om has been guided by a simple question:

Does this enhance the experience of holistic wellbeing?

Over the past ten years, that question has shaped every decision — from the treatments we offer to the practitioners we welcome to our team.

Our approach blends advanced esthetics, therapeutic bodywork, and nervous system-informed care. We prioritize sustainable skin health, measurable results, and whole-body restoration over quick fixes or fleeting trends.

Recognition like this reflects the quiet consistency of that work.

A Year of Meaningful Expansion

This past year, in particular, has been one of intentional growth.

We introduced our Infrared Recovery Massage, integrating our signature therapeutic techniques with the Celluma PRO red and near-infrared light panel to support circulation, cellular regeneration, and deeper recovery.

Our Reveal Peel quickly became a client favorite, offering advanced resurfacing without the aggressive downtime associated with traditional chemical peels. This botanical “no-peel” peel works within the deeper layers of the skin to refine tone and texture while protecting barrier integrity.

We expanded our use of CBD by Vital Body Therapeutics, a women-owned U.S.-based company raising the standard for alternative therapies.

And we launched our own clean skincare line, formulated right here in New England. Our TENFOLD Golden Glow Face Cream has become the shining star of our facial treatments, while our Virtue No. 1 Silky Botanical Cleanser continues to gain devoted clients.

Each addition has been deliberate. Each innovation rooted in expertise.

The Heart of the Work

Our team of practitioners is the architecture of care at The Fifth Om. Their depth, skill, and shared philosophy make it possible to deliver treatments that feel both restorative and refined.

And our growth has always been fueled by community.

Word of mouth.
Friends telling friends.
Families returning season after season.

That trust is what makes milestones like this possible.

Honored and Looking Ahead

We are proud to be recognized as a Bronze Winner for Best Day Spa and Best Alternative Therapies in Maine’s Best of the 207 Awards.

We are equally proud to be a two-time Silver Winner for Best Spa through the Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, and Arundel Chamber of Commerce.

But awards are not the destination. They are markers along a longer path.

Our work remains rooted in regulation, refinement, and a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence.

If you have been meaning to experience The Fifth Om, we invite you to discover what award-winning, nervous system-informed care feels like in practice.

We look forward to welcoming you for many seasons to come.
