Courtney • Růže Spa
Follow my journey at Růže Plant Based Spa! Růže is a plant based spa that offers cruelty free, massage and esthetic services.
I'll be sharing my Cruelty-Free beauty lifestyle, beauty tips and tricks from skincare to makeup, and the holistic side of self-care and self-love. Owner and practitioner, Courtney Bergen, is a massage therapist, esthetician and lash technician providing every service you need to look and feel your best. Růže is a tribute to Courtney’s family, the Ruzicka’s, who are immigrants from Czechoslovakia that settled in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1910. Ruzicka, meaning rosebud in Czech, inspired the name Růže meaning rose, a nod to Courtney’s Czech heritage and the embodiment of her personal and professional growth from a rosebud into a fully bloomed rose. Růže is knowing where you came from and blooming into a creation of your own.

Okay but how cute is this?! 🥹🌹
Walked in and saw Ruze Spa officially welcomed to the building on the Twisted Scissors sign. It’s the little things like this that make a brand-new space already feel a little more like home. 🥹
Huge shoutout to Twisted Scissors Wellness Studiosllc for the sweet welcome and for being such lovely new neighbors. 💕✂️
If you’re coming to see me in Suite 5, make sure you check out what else is happening in the building too! There are some seriously talented small businesses under this roof, and I’m excited to be their neighbor!
New space. New neighbors. New chapter. 🌹
Ruze Spa has officially entered the building. 😘😘

Just a tiny peek because I can’t be giving away all the goods on the first date. 😂
The new Růže Spa treatment room is officially coming to life, and I am OBSESSED with how cozy, moody, and slightly magical she turned out. ✨
And YES, I am officially taking clients at the new location!
🌹 Limited spots left in September
✨ Plenty of availability in October, so now is a good time to snag your spot before everyone remembers self-care exists. 😂

Růže Spa will be closed today. 🖤
Today I have to make the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye to Goliath, my ride or die for 11+ years.
I found him as a tiny kitten behind CSPS. His mama kept moving him and his littermates every time I figured out where she had hidden them. During a massive storm, she moved the babies into a storm drain, and I grabbed them one by one because I was terrified they were going to drown.
Then I had a dream that she had moved them into a hole in a tree.
A few days later, I found them tucked into a hole in the root system of a tree.
Somehow, out of all those little kittens I kept chasing around NewBo, Goliath became my boy. And he’s been by my side ever since.
He watches me do my nightly routine. When I brush my teeth, he demands to be brushed too. When I do my skincare, apparently he needs to supervise that as well. 😂 This picture pretty much sums up our relationship.
It’s going to be really fu***ng weird not having him in my life anymore. It’s the tiny routines I already know I’m going to miss the most.
So please give me a little grace today. I won’t be answering calls or messages and Růže Spa will be closed.
Today I just need to be Goliath’s mom and spend my last little bit of time with my old man. 🖤
Thank you for understanding and for giving me the space to say goodbye to my boy.
Well… I guess it’s officially official.
Růže Spa has a new home!!!!
This move has been exciting, terrifying, expensive as hell, exhausting, and it keeps on getting better.
There are still things to finish. Signs to order. Decor to hang. Greenery. A bank account that needs a moment to emotionally recover. 😂 The website might be getting another little glow-up too as I get everything switched over to this new chapter.
But I seriously need to give some love to the people who helped me pull this off!
My boyfriend Travis, plus my friends / clients, Amanda, and Sybil, who all have put SO much time and energy into helping me get this place ready. Moving things, building things, figuring s**t out with me, listening to me spiral, and attempting to keep me as sane as humanly possible. 😂
I genuinely don’t know if I could’ve gotten this much done this quickly without them…. Like seriously, I got a great crew. The Ruze Crew 💀💀💀
And then there’s all of YOU. Every appointment, referral, product purchase, share, comment, and person who has hyped me up along the way has helped Růže Spa grow into something I never imagined when I started this little business.
I’m tired. I’m over budget. I have approximately 472 things left on my to-do list still…
But I’m so freakin’ grateful! 💕💕
New chapter. New neighborhood. Same Courtney making inappropriate jokes while trying to help you relax.
And don’t worry… the full Růže Spa reveal is coming. I didn’t work this hard just to casually show her in the background. 😏

Ruze Spa has officially moved.
Inside isn’t 100% done BUT it’s ready to do services!!!!
2222 Johnson Ave NW, Suite 5
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 52405
There’s just something about a clean Bushbalm Professional BushBeads pull that scratches a very specific part of my brain.
Also, just so we’re clear… getting waxed by me is NOT a silent treatment. 😂
You’re getting waxed, we’re talking s**t, probably oversharing, laughing at something inappropriate, and at some point you may forget you’re half naked.
There will be no awkward silence in this room. You must match my vibe. It’s basically in the consent form. 😂
Professional waxing. Questionable conversations. ✨
🚨 LOCATION HEADS UP:
This will officially be my LAST WEEK at Salon Flats!
If you have an upcoming appointment, PLEASE pay attention to your appointment reminders and my socials so you know which Růže Spa location you’re headed to. The move is happening, people. 😂
Questions? Text me! I promise I’d rather you ask than accidentally show up at the wrong place.
