Catala Facial Retreat & Boutique was founded by Carla Brakensiek, whose passion for beauty, relaxation, and community inspired a space where everyone feels at home. What began 15 years ago in Carla’s Marthasville home has blossomed into a thriving boutique and spa nestled in a beautifully refurbished cottage in the heart of New Melle.

Known as “The House of All About You,” Catala offers a full-service experience combining style, wellness, and rejuvenation. Our expert team, including Sarah of The Red Beauty Salon, Vanessa of Massage Kneads, and Amy of Renew You, brings 15 to 20 years of professional expertise to ensure every guest feels cared for, confident, and celebrated. Guided by Carla’s vision to make every visitor feel invited and inspired, Catala has become more than a spa; it’s a welcoming destination for self-care, friendship, and feel-good indulgence.
