Bradley Fair spa’s plan for ‘incredible transformation’ turns into closure

In December, Healing Waters announced on Facebook that it had “A special note” for customers.

“Wichita, we are here to share that in 2025 Healing Waters is going to be undergoing an incredible transformation.”

Instead, the same Facebook account now has a different sort of announcement.

The Bradley Fair spa is closing as of May 14.

“To Our Cherished Community,” the post reads. “After almost 25 beautiful years, it is with a full heart and deep emotion that we share the news that Healing Waters will be closing its doors.”

Amanda Gorecki originally opened the business next to Il Vicino on East Douglas before eventually moving it to Bradley Fair at 21st and Rock Road and then, more recently, selling it.

The out-of-state practicing manager didn’t return requests for comment on Friday.

However, the business had an outside representative share the same message that was on social media.

In a text, Bradley Fair general manager Jessica Branning said Healing Waters was a valued part of the center’s community.

“We wish them all the best in all future endeavors.”

According to the December Facebook post, the business had planned on new hires and new treatments this year.

“Good things take time, and we are dedicated to making 2025 the year that Healing Waters becomes your new favorite retreat,” the post said.

Now, the account encourages people to stop in before the business closes “so we can share a warm goodbye and heartfelt thank you in person.”

“Together, we’ve built more than a wellness space—we’ve created a sanctuary, a community, and a place of peace and connection. It has been our greatest joy to share in your journeys, offer moments of calm, and get to know the wonderful individuals who made Healing Waters what it is.”
