"I can't get away for that long," says Connecticut motivational speaker Ronni Burns, 47, who gets a massage and facial twice a month. "I find that much relaxing stressful." Joan Haratani, an attorney who soaks in a whirlpool and gets a massage once a week at Oakland's Claremont Hotel, explains, "I don't consider it a luxury. It's an absolute necessity...
