BODY & BEAUTY
BEAUTY TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS HELP CREATE A MORE BEAUTIFUL YOU!
The Watsu® Experience Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is proud to now be offering Watsu Massage! Float comfortably and fully supported in a pool of warm water while a therapist uses massage techniques to soften muscles, stretch tissues and open energy pathways. As your body moves through the water, it reaches a state of relaxation so deep that the mind can follow. A freedom of awareness encourages healing to occur. Watsu can address stress, chronic back pain, orthopedic limitations, arthritis, sleep disorders, fibromyalgia, range of motion issues and emotional release. This is a profound experience unlike any other. Swimwear is required.
Be one of the first guests to experience this new treatment!

Vitamin Infusion Therapy Cal-a-Vie Health Spa has partnered with Dr. Sarah Corey, N.D, an expert in injectable nutrition therapies and natural medicine, to provide guests with premium prescription-grade vitamins, minerals and amino acids to enhance their wellness experience. Injectable nutrient therapies deliver vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly to the body for maximum absorption in doses much higher than those typically tolerated orally, thus flooding the body with nutrients. Only 10-30% of nutrients get absorbed when taken orally, whereas injectable nutrients bypass the digestive tract and provide 100% absorption.
Guests who would like a step up from the injection are offered intravenous nutrient drips. These vitamin drips provide rehydration, immune support and even anti-aging benefits! These are great for those looking for the maximum achievable benefits. We currently offer hydration, immune boost (great for flu season and airline travel) and anti-aging wellness drips.

“Cal-a-Vie is truly the perfect restorative, inspiring, luxurious health retreat – no other spa comes close.”

Vitamin injections are administered intramuscularly, typically in the gluteal muscle and are quick and almost painless. Injections are custom made based on your unique needs. Most popular blends include: stress relief, weight loss support and energy boosting.

HEALTH & FITNESS
MAKE YOUR WORKOUT MORE EFFECTIVE BY FOLLOWING SOME OF THE LATEST TIPS FOR BURNING CALORIES!
Spring into Action Now is the perfect time to spring into action and take your fitness training to a new level! The change in seasons gives us the opportunity to set new goals and get refocused. In order to do this, you want to establish a baseline so you can individualize your program. Discovering these baselines allows you to spring out of the one-size-fits-all exercise mold and jumpstarts your personalized, streamlined training path. NEW! Styku 3D Body Scan – Visualize Yourself in 3D Visualization can be a very powerful tool for individuals who are looking to make changes in their bodies. Our newest and latest fitness test is the Styku 3D Body Scan. Styku assembles a 3D model of the individual from over 600 infrared images taken in seconds, which allows you to visualize yourself in 3D. A measurement is just a number, but a visual image of what you look like is much more motivating. The Styku 3D scan also does a posture analysis, which will allow you to identify muscle imbalances throughout your entire body. This is valuable information when trying to incorporate symmetry and balance into your workout routine. Visualize where you want to be this spring and let Cal-a-Vie Health Spa help establish your baseline with your own 3D Scan!
Let Cal-a-Vie Health Spa help you find your baseline with the different types of fitness tests we offer. Schedule a Styku 3D Body Scan on any visit by October 2018 and receive a second fitness test at a 50% savings.
BOD POD – Gold Standard for Measuring Body Composition
VO2 Max Test – Aerobic Capacity (Fat Burning Zone) Measures your unique physiology, providing invaluable information to help us determine your optimal training intensity levels.

MET TEST – Metabolic Rate

“For any men who are reluctant to join their wives, think again. There is much to do and much to challenge you physically … then relax. A wonderful experience.”

Uses air displacement technology to measure body composition and is as accurate as hydrostatic weighing, but quicker and easier to perform. Body composition is the body’s relative amount of body fat to fat-free mass and knowing your composition can help determine the general state of your overall health.
Bob McCleskey
Tells you whether your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is slow, normal or fast compared to your age and gender demographic. Your RMR determines how many calories your body burns at rest, which helps determine how many calories you need to eat every day to lose, maintain, or gain weight.

Pushing Boundaries
Muse
Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable
Feeling scattered or stressed? Experience our Scattered-to-Focused Brain Training class and test our Muse brain sensing technology.
In the pursuit of personal growth, we need to step out of our comfort zone and push beyond our boundaries. Fear of failure can be the biggest deterrent from goal setting but anytime we are making a change, we are going to make mistakes. The false perception that perfection is necessary causes some to just “start over on Monday” and entirely sabotage their goals, then wonder why they can’t stick to a program. These “failures” are actually valuable learning lessons to get to know yourself better and should even be expected! It’s easy to just get a new meal plan but without doing the deeper personal work that change requires, most won’t stick to it. Here are the main components to pushing beyond your boundaries and reaching new achievements: »» Establish your WHY. Making a change is not easy so instead of using your willpower, know what is driving your change forward and use your Why-Power. »» Expect “failures” and learn from them. Failures can be our greatest teachers and when we gain new insights from what went wrong, we can change our strategy and keep making progress. If we hide from our failures, history is likely to repeat itself. »» Focus on YOU. Self-awareness is key to understanding your habits better. Set time aside in a quiet space to explore what your mind and body need so it doesn’t become suppressed with distractions, such as food. Try to identify when you really need sleep, exercise, or a friend to talk to. Meditation, or using new technology such as our Muse meditation headband, can help you reconnect mind and body. »» Get support from your experts. Your nutrition and fitness experts can give you the guidance to set goals beyond your comfort zone but not so unrealistic that you quit them a few days later. We are here for you in the long haul!
Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is proud to be the first destination spa in the U.S. to offer Muse – the brain sensing headband. The spa now offers bi-weekly classes for guests to master fundamentals of applying the lightweight wearable that uses electroencephalography (EEG) sensors to provide real-time feedback on brain activity during meditation practice. Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce symptoms associated with stress, depression, and anxiety, but is not easily achieved without practice. As part of Cal-a-Vie’s new ‘Scattered-to-Focused’ brain training classes, guests can learn how to maintain a state of focused attention and quantify progress through the consistent use of the Muse brain sensing wearable.
Our Nutrition experts are on hand to assist you with any dietary needs. Please contact Scheduling at 1-866-772-4283 x379 for information on nutrition consultations.
