Wellness combines physical and mental health, fitness and beauty into one - all of these aspects need to be tended to and balanced in order to feel your best. A healthy diet, regular exercise and stress management is crucial. It’s important to take some time out for yourself, recharging your batteries will keep you feeling motivated and positive.

Lots of people love using exercise to fight stress because the endorphins released from the brain makes them feel great and lifts their mood. Exercise shouldn’t feel like a chore, once you find a form of exercise that you enjoy you will have fun taking part. You will be improving your fitness and happiness levels at the same time!

Some people enjoy a more tranquil beauty focused approach to stress management. A facial or a massage will make you feel fantastic. Wellness is different for everyone, there is no right or wrong way, it’s all about finding what works for you.

SPECIAL OFFER ON TREATMENTS NOW

HIFU has arrived at Therapy hair and beauty salon in Wynyard village and the results have been astounding.

Owner Wendy Armstrong said “this is the most advanced treatment that we have welcomed into our salon with real results. This treatment is using ultrasound heat so bypasses the surface of the skin meaning no downtime”

Nicola Allsop has recently been in the salon for HIFU, she said “I got to the stage where I hated my jowls and wrinkly neck but was too frightened to undergo surgery so this was perfect for me and I could not have been happier with the immediate results which just seems to be improving with time. I would definitely recommend this HIFU treatment if you want to make a subtle change without any incisions or having anything injected into your skin”

IN CHANGE

GOSSIP

We all have our own reason to lose weight – a turning point which changes our lives. For Claire Healey it was a horrific car crash which left her trapped upside down inside her car fearing that she was too fat to crawl out. She said: “Two men pulled me out, but I didn’t think I would manage it. I was so embarrassed and I decided there and then to find the answer to my weight problem.”

Claire approached Alevere Specialist Medical Weight Loss Clinics at Silverlink Clinics, whose dedicated doctors offer a highly effective medical weight loss treatment without surgery. Over the next 28 weeks, she shed more than eight stone through weekly treatments and nutritional support.

Patients are given weekly treatments of focused external ultrasound which breaks down thickened fat stores under the skin. Every patient also receives a full body treatment which boosts the production of new collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, optimising the tightness and elasticity. The combined effect of both treatments enhances the patient’s body shape and cosmetic appearance following their weight loss. The nutritional part of the Medical Weight Loss Treatment consists of lots of natural foods from the very start of every patient’s treatment. Additionally, the patients are given Alevere nutritional supplements which optimally support the body’s metabolism throughout the patient’s weight loss. These ensure that excess body fat, but not muscle tissue, is broken down. They also aid the liver in producing sufficient glucose, so that blood sugar levels become normal and stable, even in diabetic patients.

Claire comments “I was desperate. I had tried to lose weight many times in the past, but I had just got bigger. Nothing had worked for me. The car crash made me determined to finally sort myself out.” Now, just months after walking through the doors of the clinic weighing over 19 stone, Claire is an incredible size 12 and weighs just 11 stone. She said: “I even lost weight during Christmas week and I have actually been eating some delicious food. During treatment, I bought cheap clothes from supermarkets because they became too big for me so quickly. I remember the day I first tried on a pair of size 16 jeans and they hung off me it was great.”

“I can do all kinds of things now – I walk my dogs everywhere, I can run for a bus and I can bend down to fasten my shoes, which I couldn’t do before. My life is just so incredibly better.”
