Welcome to Rapunzel’s: Where Healing Meets Heritage
Founded over 20 years ago by fourth generation Tucson native Stephanie Peterman, Rapunzel’s was built on a legacy of herbal wisdom and a devotion to genuine, root cause care. Her family were pioneers in natural wellness long before it became mainstream, passing down knowledge of botanicals, herbs, and desert remedies through the generations.
Stephanie grew up surrounded by that world, learning to read the body’s quiet signals and to treat the desert as a living apothecary. Long before natural skincare became a trend, she was not following a movement; she was creating one. That heritage is woven into every service at Rapunzel’s.
Rapunzel’s is housed in a historic fire station transformed into a serene haven that feels like stepping into another dimension of calm, peace, and renewal. Nothing here is cookie cutter. Every element reflects an intention to create more than a spa, a sanctuary that restores, nurtures, and honors the person in front of us.
Clients often describe their visit as otherworldly yet deeply grounding. They return not only for the visible results, which speak for themselves, but because they feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. That is the Rapunzel’s difference.
We focus on what most spas overlook: the deep muscular structure, fascia, energetic pathways, meridians, and subtle wellness cues that reveal the body’s inner harmony. These layers influence how your skin behaves, how your body responds, and how you feel each day. Our techniques lift, sculpt, and renew in a way that works with the intelligence of the body, often reducing the desire for invasive options because we care for the whole system, not just the surface.
Rapunzel’s is also home to Tucson’s exclusive Vichy Shower Hydrotherapy Rainfall Experience, a treatment so restorative it has been called better than a massage and the best shower of my life. Many describe it as a massage, body scrub, head spa, stress reliever, and worry eraser all in one.
We are also honored to house a dedicated Iridology Clinic, making Rapunzel’s one of the few destinations in the country where thoughtful assessment and intuitive, hands on care come together under one roof to support your wellness journey.
Whether you visit for stress relief, skin transformation, pain relief, or deep inner clarity, you will find more than a service. You will find a restorative experience that honors your body and your story.
You leave glowing, grounded, and alive, carrying the calm of the desert and the shimmer of a fairytale only Rapunzel’s could inspire.
