The physical aspects of stress

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Fact: We live in an extremely stressful world.


Fact: Our bodies, on both physical and mental levels, pay the price.


As humans, we are hard-wired to cope with stress. It’s when stress kicks into overload that we face

problems, sometimes large problems.  Stress can disrupt almost all of your bodies processes, putting

you at at increased risk of such heath problems as  heart disease, sleep problems, digestive problems, depression, obesity, memory impairment and the worsening of skin conditions.


Here at the Spa, we offer a variety of services that are conducive to reducing stress in a calm, peaceful

and quiet environment. From the relaxing sound of waterfalls to soothing music, our team is dedicated

to your well being.


The Touch Research Institute research suggests that massage therapy creates a reduction in stress

 levels. It is documented that following a massage, we feel less pain, are less depressed, anxiety levels

decrease, we are less fatigued and have less difficulty falling asleep.


While the benefits of a restful night’s sleep have been readily available, recently the media has turned

its eyes on promoting the benefits with regard to our general happiness, productivity at work, the way

we interact with others and our general outlook on life.


Several treatments at the Spa are classified as preventative care. Look at your insurance to see what is

covered. Your well being is not a luxury, its a necessity.








It’s all in the eyes……

Just in Time for Summer, Two New Eyelash Treatments Are  Available at the Spa at Willow Bend.

How many eyelash curlers are in your possession at this time? How many of those are clean, fresh

and ready to use? And…when is the last time you used one?

Eyelash curlers are passe’- outdated. Women are becoming familiar with the Eyelash Perm as a matter

of looks, convenience and time. When lashes are straight and downward slanted it makes the eyes look

tired and somewhat droopy. The lashes, upon being curled, bring the eyes upward while appearing

fuller and longer. Its a great look! The 50 minute application is a safe and effective way to keep your

lashes curled and beautiful ALL the time. The results last between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the natural growth cycle of the individual.

Eyelash Extensions  can add dramatic volume and length to thin, short eyelashes. The extensions are

adhered to individual lashes to create a slightly curled look that is full, while looking natural. This

treatment is being used by women who are tired of using mascara and lash curlers. The treatment for

new applications can last from 1.5 to 3 hours, with results that last between 1 and 2 months. Regular

touch-ups help maintain the look.

New Services at the Spa at Willow Bend

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Spa Week was a busy, busy week. We saw many people who decided to take some time just for

themselves. A little “me time” goes a long way with regard to your health and general outlook on life.

 As spring brings us a time of renewal, the Spa at Willow Bend is dedicated to bringing in new techniques

and services to renew one’s physical and emotional self.


We are introducing two new facial treatments, The Chinese Herbal Acne Treatment and the Chinese

Facial Lift.


Traditional Chinese Medicine says that acne occurs when there is an accumulation of heat and slow

moving blood cells. This facial is a 2 1/2 hour treatment that starts with a thorough cleansing with deep

penetrating herbs. The second step is a stimulating ultrasound treatment followed by an application of

antibacterial herbs. You can see positive results with as little as two treatments.


The Chinese Facial Lift is another 2 1/2 hour treatment ( Think total relaxation) This facial starts with the cleansing and exfoliation of the skin. This preps the skin for the next stage, which is 40 minutes of

acupressure on your face, head and neck areas. A lifting cream is then applied to the face  by way of an

ultrasound  machine. The facial ends with an herbal mask that has been specifically customized to the

individuals needs and skin type. This facial treatment is used to promote facial muscle tone. (Again,

think total relaxation)


Spring is about renewal and this is the perfect time to rejuvenate yourself or a loved one.
