Healthy wellness spa opens doors in Montezuma

MONTEZUMA — A Montezuma business offering a wide variety of health and beauty services designed to help women (and men) see themselves in a positive and refreshing light has a new location.

Luxe Wellness Spa, formerly located behind Monte Nutrition since May 2025, opened its doors at 109C S. Fourth St. Oct. 1.

A grand opening was held Oct. 30.

The business is owned by Bambi Sutfin, a Montezuma graduate and registered nurse with 30 years of experience. Medical Director Laura Peterman oversees the business.

Joining Sutfin in the business is Alana Fahlenkamp, a Montezuma graduate and a nail tech at the wellness spa.

Services offered at the business include IV-hydration — Meyers Cocktail, Immunity, Reboot (hangover recovery), B-Lean (boost metabolism), Timeless (antiaging), Alleviate (women’s health cramping and fatigue).

Other services include microneedling, custom facials, Botox, fillers and spray tans.

“Our goal is to offer antiaging services and natural looking beauty enhancements,” said Sutfin. “I call it my happy medicine.”

Sutfin said customers have said they are excited to have health and beauty services available locally.

Sutfin became a nurse thanks in part to healthcare professionals who showed care and compassion when her daughter became sick and later passed away.

“I decided to attend nursing school because of all the competent nurses that made a difference in my life (during some of my toughest days).”

She is currently working on her bachelor of science in nursing degree through Jacksonville University and will complete her degree in early 2026.

Sutfin’s healthcare career has included time as a medical-surgical nurse, working with hospice patients, in family practice and in urgent care.

Sutfin said her husband Sean played a big role in helping get the business off the ground.

“I am excited to see familiar faces come in to help them put their best foot forward and walk with confidence,” said Sutfin.

The business is open daily from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays and other times by appointment.
