With the support of my family and the strength of the brand, I’m excited to offer a high-quality wellness experience right here at home.”

SUNRISE, Fla. – Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA Massage and Facial Spa (Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA), the leading provider of professional massage and skincare services, is excited to announce the opening of its newest location in Sunrise, conveniently situated at 10111 W. Oakland Park Blvd. The Sunrise-Sawgrass spa will offer the full range of Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA’s signature services, including therapeutic massage, facial treatments, and wellness-focused skincare programs.

Egan is a former senior executive in the grocery industry with nearly 30 years of leadership experience and currently owns and operates several Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA locations across Florida, including spas in Davie, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, and Fort Myers. Beyond opening the Sunrise-Sawgrass location, Egan is continuing to grow his Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA footprint in Florida, with plans to open a second Fort Lauderdale spa and expand into Venice Beach, FL.

“I joined Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA because I truly believe in the power of massage and facial services,” said James Egan, owner of the new Sunrise-Sawgrass location. “Massage helped me manage stress, ease pain, and improve my sleep during my time in a high-pressure executive role. I’ve also come to understand how essential a consistent skincare routine can be to overall health and well-being. Helping people feel refreshed, confident, and healthier through our services is incredibly rewarding—it’s inspiring to be part of a brand that genuinely improves the lives of our community.”

Sunitee and Dr. J. Paul Singh are husband-and-wife entrepreneurs with a strong background in healthcare and business ownership. Dr. Singh is a board-certified internal medicine physician with over 30 years of private practice experience and a former Cleveland Clinic physician and associate professor. After running a successful private medical practice in Tennessee for over a decade, the couple moved back home to South Florida and were drawn to the accessibility and consistency of Intuitive Touch and wellness SPA’s services. They opened their first spa in Weston in 2018 and since then, they’ve expanded to Coral Springs and Hollywood, with Sunrise-Sawgrass marking their fourth location. Deeply rooted in the community, the Singhs are passionate about making wellness a monthly priority and are actively involved in local events and organizations, including the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce.

“Our goal has always been to make self-care a consistent and accessible part of everyday life,” said Sunitee Singh. “Having grown up in Southeast Florida, it’s incredibly meaningful to now bring this wellness experience to the community. We’re proud to offer a space where people can prioritize their health and well-being close to home.”
