Winter warmers What’s neW on the santa Fe spa scene

Courtesy Inn and spa at loretto

By Wolf Schneider There is no better time for a feel-good spa treatment than now, during winter’s cold reign. Luckily, Santa Fe’s spas are getting ever more creative about their rejuvenation potential, from a spa pedicure in a NASA-designed, zerogravity chair to a high-tech natural face-lift. Almost every spa we visited features new treatments plus master-level massage therapists with 10-plus years of training. Come along for a first-person report on some of Santa Fe’s best.

Inn and Spa at Loretto 505-984-7997 www.innatloretto.com Spa concept: “The spa is an intimate, elegant sanctuary for healing,” said spa director Suzanne Chavez.

Environment: Ranked 19th in the United States on Condé Nast Traveler’s 2012 readers poll, the spa features pendant lighting and chandeliers, honey-colored pine flooring and fireplaces; the white candles flickering everywhere make for a romantic, calming haven.

Range of treatments: Massages, reflexology, wraps, astrology, cranial sacral work, facials, manicures, and Heels Over Head pedicures.

10 rejuvenating scents

Price range: $49-$250.

Most popular: Massage.

Our panel of spa experts recommended these scents as the go-to aromas for rejuvenation, reinvigoration and restoring energy. Many are available at the spas, as well as in essential oils at shops like Pharmaca, la Montañita Coop, Whole Foods, and natural Grocers.

My choice: My Heels Over Head pedicure in a NASA-designed zerogravity recliner was my 1 Eucalyptus best pedicure ever. The 2 Peppermint environment was serene, 3 Rosemary therapist Monica was intentional and mindful, 4 Lavender and I felt like I was floating 5 Lemongrass on air as I luxuriated in the 6 Sandalwood recliner, warmed lavender 7 Pine pillow behind my neck, 8 Tahitian lime as she applied a warmed 9 Orange Citrus coconut milk foot soak, 10 Hinoki brown-sugar scrub with freeze-dried goat’s milk and honey, paraffin moisturizer and no-chemical Zoya red polish.

What’s distinctive: This spa has appeared on Condé Nast’s Top 25 Hotel Spas in the U.S. list three times.

What’s new: They bought two zero-gravity recliners from Relax the Back in late 2012, at a cost of $2,000 each. These ergonomically designed chairs take pressure off the spine, reduce stress on the heart, relieve muscle tension, lower blood pressure and increase circulation.

Locals versus visitors: 21 percent locals, 79 percent visitors.

Deals for locals: 20 percent off every day and free parking.

Who appreciates it, and who doesn’t: “The person who appreciates our spa is sensitive to aesthetics and beauty, open-minded, and on a path of cultural and spiritual transformation. Who doesn’t appreciate it is someone looking to recreate a Las Vegas spa experience with surface fluff,” said Chavez.

The takeaway: The red polish lasted perfectly for weeks afterward, making me feel pretty every single day and night.

Absolute Nirvana 505-983-7942 www.absolutenirvana.com Spa concept: A Balinese-style spa with custom-made scrubs and masks created from natural spices and plants. “Nothing out of a jar,” said owner Caroline Lee. Environment: Treatment rooms at this downtown spa come with paisley robes, sarongs, red sheets and towels, candles and concrete flooring with radiant heat.

Range of treatments: Massages, facials, deluxe treatments that usually combine massage, body mask and exfoliative scrub.

Price range: $105-$330.

and anti-inflammatory properties. I felt like a holiday cookie as my therapist slathered on a body mask of spicy, warming ginger, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric, sandalwood and nutmeg. I had a hot steam shower, then a massage with spicy scented oil.

What’s distinctive: The ambience had me humming, “Bali Hai.” What’s new: Chocolate and Peppermint Delight special, with a body scrub of peppermint-infused organic sugar and organic cocoa, massage and mask of yogurt and honey.

Locals versus visitors: 40 percent locals, 60 percent visitors.

Deals for locals: Website specials are available to everyone.

Who appreciates it, and who doesn’t: According to Lee, “People who appreciate high-quality work in a small, intimate, nurturing spa with personal attention like it. It’s not a mad scramble in the locker room.

People who don’t appreciate this spa are those who are looking for a sleek, polished, high-tech environment.”

The takeaway: I felt warmed to the core for hours afterward, impervious to the winter snowstorm under way.

Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado 505-946-5700 www.fourseasons.com/santafe Spa concept: “The spa is healing, relaxing, and results oriented,” said spa director Emily Richey. It occupies 10,000 square feet, including posh locker rooms with proprietary personal care products, outdoor pool (in season), hot tubs, saunas, fitness facilities and a warming casita with a fireplace.

Environment: Immaculate and luxurious perfection! I wandered past pine and aspen trees on the way to my treatment room, a casita with a pale bamboo floor, eggnog-colored décor, sunlight streaming in the French doors and a private outside shower.

Range of treatments: Mountain Spirit Purification, Blue Corn and Honey Renewal, chakra balancing, massages, facials, manicures, pedicures.

Price range: $55-$2,500 (the $2,500 treatment for two is scheduled to be removed from the menu).

Most popular: Massage.

My choice: Sacred Stone Massage, with hot and cold river stones meant to release tension, which they did in the hands of my expert

Helpful tips for choosing a spa treatment Check spa websites for treatment descriptions, prices, specials and new features. At many spas, you may be able to customize a treatment for your needs and preferences; call the spa directly to find out about your options. It’s ideal, after most treatments, to go home and chill out for a while to achieve longer-lasting benefits. therapist Elizabeth. “The warm stones increase blood flow, and the cold stones constrict the muscle tissue and help move along toxins,” she explained. While I enjoyed my treatments at all the spas I visited, this was the only experience that transported me beyond relaxation into euphoria.

What’s distinctive: This contemporary resort located 20 minutes north of Santa Fe delivers a heavenly experience worth the considerable price tag.

What’s new: Warmed robes in winter and a February couples package called Capture the Romance, consisting of private Jacuzzi, sauna, spiked Mexican hot chocolate, chocolate-pecan granola bars, massage with chocolate-scented oil, sacred stones, and energy work.

Locals versus visitors: 60 percent locals, 40 percent visitors.

Deals for locals: Loyalty Elite Members get 15 percent off all treatments.

Who appreciates it, and who doesn’t: “We appeal across the board. A lot of our return guests believe in the healing nature of massage and the energy work. I guess people who might not believe in it might consider it froufrou to have a smudging ceremony,” said Richey.

The takeaway: After therapist Elizabeth smudged me, massaged me with the hot and cold stones and moisturized my skin with a massage oil scented with desert sage, Douglas fir and juniper, I floated out of there and kept replaying my blissful experience for days afterward in my mind.

Ten Thousand Waves 505-982-9304 www.tenthousandwaves.com Spa concept: Japanese-style spa where everything is authentic — the woodwork, the minimalist décor and the therapists’ intention for thoughtful change. The spa recently landed on Travel & Leisure magazine’s list of America’s Best Girlfriend Getaways.

Environment: An indoor-outdoor aesthetic constructed of such hardwoods as cherry, maple and Western red cedar. Treatment rooms have windows looking out onto pine trees.

Range of treatments: Outdoor hot tubs, cold plunges, massage, salt glow and herbal wraps, facials, peels.

Price range: $25-$199.

Most popular: Therapeutic massage.

My choice: Ashi Anma Foot Massage. This is the best foot massage that $59 can buy in Santa Fe. My ultra-professional therapist, Karma, worked on my feet one by one: He pummeled and rocked them in a rhythmic beat with pressure that alternated deep, deep, deep, soft, deep, deep, deep, soft.

What’s distinctive: In business for 32 years, this is Santa Fe’s most famous spa, known for its Japanese lanterns, fish ponds, Blood

Orange body lotion and waterfalls. Said owner Duke Klauck, “We’re the only Santa Fe spa in the middle of nature and we’re the only one with a Japanese theme. Americans are very goal- oriented. The Japanese philosophy is you go to the spa in the evenings after work and chat and be out in nature. It gets you away from your type-A frantic, concrete-embedded existence. It allows you to expand.”

Clients walk outdoors to the treatment rooms, and treatments often follow a specific regimen.

What’s new: Japanese-style Ashi Anma Foot Massage. Coming in 2013: a café.

Locals versus visitors: 40 percent locals, 60 percent visitors.

Deals for locals: Locals can join an awards program for a 20 percent discount Monday through Thursday.

Who appreciates it, and who doesn’t: “We have 12 to 14 treatments.

But what we do, we do really well,” spa director Courtney Morris said.

“We offer therapeutic treatments to help people heal. We don’t do the caviar facial or the chocolate body wrap or whatever the latest fad is.”

The takeaway: For the rest of the day, I walked with a lighter, bouncier stride.

Body 505-986-0362 www.bodyofsantafe.com Spa concept: “To bring the quality of a healing private practice into a public space,” said owner Lorin Parrish.

Environment: The dimly lit spa is mostly decorated in shades of gray, with water fountain, rocks and an overall Asian vibe.

Range of treatments: Facials, natural face-lift, massages, scrubs and add-on enhancements (such as reflexology, scalp massage and eyebrow and eyelash tinting).

Price range: $80-$185.

Most popular: Massage.

My choice: Natural face-lift. The effervescent Michelle cleansed my face and neck with a microdermabrasion machine, applied mild microcurrent to firm and tone muscles, shined LED lights to stimulate collagen and smoothed on stem cells from calf placentas from the French Alps.

What’s distinctive: Owner Parrish believes that the operating philosophy, building environment and staff contribute to “core energy” and the success of her business. With 400 to 600 people coming through the door every day for yoga and exercise classes, Body proves her right.

What’s new: The natural face-lift. “It makes skin stronger and more intelligent,” Parrish said. “After one treatment, you have more collagen growth. You’re plumper and moister. Collagen production usually stops around age 35.”

Locals versus visitors: 80 percent locals, 20 percent visitors.

Deals for locals: If you buy a package of nine treatments, the 10th is free.

Who appreciates it, and who doesn’t: “Our ultimate person is into self–growth and realizing their physical and emotional potential.

Who isn’t ideal for our place is somebody who isn’t community minded,” Parrish said.

She did extractions, then ended with a rose hip gel mask and emu oil moisturizer. “The massage, the aromatherapy, and the acupressure make it a more luxurious treatment,” Drea said. She’s right.

What’s distinctive: Drea’s astute, personalized attention. “From now on, use a gentle exfoliator every night,” she advised.

ChoColate, wine offer a buzz—with benefits

By Staci Matlock PhotoS By ryannan Bryer de hickMan Peanuts creator Charles Schulz allegedly opined that “all you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” A little red wine could be good for you, too.

Red wine and chocolate have a long, rich history of making humans happy. But do they actually contribute to better health?

Red wine, like dark chocolate, is composed of many chemical compounds that prompt reactions in the human brain, blood and vital organs. Scientists have studied both for years, and there’s some pretty strong evidence that red wine and chocolate can, in limited amounts, protect against cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. But scientists trying to pinpoint exactly which chemical compounds are good for health, and how those compounds work in the human body, say more research is needed to conclusively prove anything.

Whether or not indulging in either one will give your health and your mood a boost may also depend on your individual physical makeup, the quality of the chocolate and wine and how much of each you consume.

Chocolate high In the last 10 years, Santa Fe-based chocolate historian Mark J. Sciscenti has watched thousands of people change as they tasted his dark chocolate beverages, made much like ancient Mesoamericans used to make their own chocolate drinks.

“Within minutes, they enter an altered state,” he said. “When I say an altered state, it is counterintuitive, but they get calm, they get a kind of blissed-out look on their faces and they start forgetting things because they’re in this zone. They’d leave their credit cards; they’d leave their keys.”

Sciscenti, who formerly owned Kakawa Chocolate House in Santa Fe, always returned the forgotten items to his euphoric customers.

Their reactions, he said, provide anecdotal evidence that the right chocolate can have a positive effect on people. That beatific look was likely due to compounds in chocolate setting off a cascade of chemicals in the brain that can produce something akin to a runner’s high.

Numerous studies in the last few decades have explored the health effects of various compounds in cacao beans, cacao butter and chocolate. Scientists have found high levels of antioxidants in chocolate as well as compounds such as quercetin, flavanoids and polyphenols similar to those found in red wine. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that small amounts of 14

healthy compounds found in red wine and/or dark chocolate Polyphenols—antioxidants linked to reducing cardiovascular disease Quercetin—an antioxidant of the flavonoid family; antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Flavonoids—plant-based antioxidants that help prevent cell damage Magnesium—an essential micronutrient iron—an essential micronutrient B6 and B12—vitamins important to brain and nervous system function resveratrol—may activate an enzyme that slows aging process Piceatannol—a possible link to inhibiting fat cell development dark chocolate can thin the blood, reducing the risk of blood clots.

Chocolate also contains a healthy dose of micronutrients such as magnesium, iron, B6 and B12 vitamins, thiamine and folic acid, Sciscenti said. Scientists are reluctant to speak in absolutes, and they tend to focus on one compound at a time instead of looking at chocolate as a whole. Still, the general consensus seems to be that a little bit of chocolate won’t hurt you and probably has some benefit.

The quality and content of the cacao are the secrets to maximizing chocolate’s health benefits, according to Sciscenti. “Basically, the darker the chocolate, the better it is for you. No milk. No sugar. And it doesn’t take much for the health benefits.”

Currently, studies indicate eating only 1 to 3 ounces of dark chocolate each day provides plenty of the health benefits you won’t get from milk chocolate and chocolate candy bars loaded with sugar — though these more diluted chocolate types may briefly make you feel happier. “If the first ingredient in a bar is anything other than chocolate [as cacao beans, chocolate liqueur or cacao], it is candy. If the first ingredient is sugar, it is candy,” he said. In most chocolate studies, Sciscenti noted, subjects are given liquid chocolate made without milk, not solid bars. Humans took their cacao in liquid form for millennia, dating back to the earliest evidence of the drink in 2000 B.C., he said. “The chocolate the Mesoamericans were drinking was a thick beverage, but they also would add things to help it foam up.”

Not until the mid-1800s did chocolate begin appearing on store shelves as solid bars. To be legally considered chocolate, a bar has to have cacao butter and at least 15 percent cacao solids, Sciscenti said.

Raw ingredients Buying high-quality cacao and chocolate from a single family farm is important to great taste and maximum health benefits, some Santa Fe chocolatiers insist. Lorin Parrish, founder and owner of BODY of Santa Fe, said the cacao beans for her business’s chocolate are grown and hand harvested at a family farm in Venezuela. She prizes the cacao for its taste and purity.

Parrish didn’t like chocolate much until she started offering a “raw” version through her 8-year-old business. To make BODY’s version of raw chocolate, she said, none of the ingredients are heated above 118 degrees. The roasted cacao beans are mixed with cacao paste and cacao butter along with sweeteners such as coconut crystals or a South American root called yácom. The cacao content in BODY’s confections—for both the raw and more traditionally made truffles—runs from 40 to 80 percent.

Wine and wellness For some people, a fine meal isn’t quite as fine without a glass of vino rojo. Wine aficionados and researchers believe a little red wine also may have multiple health benefits.

Red wine is rich in polyphenols, which are found in grape skins and seeds. Polyphenols are antioxidants that help protect cells from damage, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In particular, researchers have found evidence that polyphenols help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, while antioxidants inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol—the type that clogs the coronary arteries and causes strokes. Polyphenols may also prevent blood platelet cells from clumping together and causing atherosclerosis.

One of the most famous compounds in red wine that’s touted for its health benefits is resveratrol. But researchers still debate the compound’s benefits. Almost a decade ago, scientists found some evidence that the compound could slow the aging process—at least in yeast—by activating enzymes called sirtuins. David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School, a primary researcher involved in the studies, had enough faith in the possibilities to launch a company called Sirtris Pharmaceuticals. Other researchers debate resveratrol’s real contribution to extending life span and are continuing to test it. In a blow to the research, the University of Connecticut alleged

a year ago that one of its resveratrol researchers, Dipak K. Das, had fabricated or falsified findings in his data.

Another compound found in red wine and other fruits may help slow the development of fat cells. The compound, piceatannol, has a similar chemical structure to resveratrol. In a paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry last year, researchers from Purdue University reported the compound appeared to inhibit the ability of an immature fat cell to develop.

Individual tastes Based on her own experience with wine and chocolate, Parrish said some people don’t react well to either. People have allergies or uncomfortable physical reactions to a variety of foods from dairy to peanuts, she noted, and wine and chocolate may not be any different.

Sugars and carbohydrates make her feel ill, for example, but when she has pure cacao without milk or sugar, “it’s incredible,” she said.

“I get so much energy. If I have a truffle, if it has a lot of sweetener and milk in it, it doesn’t agree with me. People have to pay attention to what foods make them feel better after they eat them.” Parrish and Sciscenti agree that a little daily dark chocolate is a fine thing to have on the plate. But “don’t just rely on chocolate for your antioxidants [or vitamins],” Scisenti said. “Make it part of a balanced diet.” ❦❦❦ Those who like to read wonky science may enjoy this 2005 compilation and overview of polyphenol studies from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/ content/81/1/215S.full

World Tree ChoColaTes Chile-ChoColaTe elixir This complex, rich and bittersweet drink represents the quintessential Mesoamerican Mayan chocolate elixir, enjoyed from about 2000 BC to 1500 AD. Chiles were a universally popular food and spice and were added to every conceivable food, including drinking chocolate.

Achiote seeds were often added to drinking chocolate to impart a reddish color for ceremonial reasons. Agave nectar, the sap of the agave plant, is a natural sweetener traditionally used by Mesoamericans to flavor chocolate. (Sugar was introduced to the Americas by the Spaniards at a much later time.)

Recipe courtesy Mark Sciscenti

1-1/2 ounces high quality* unsweetened chocolate (not cocoa powder) 4 to 5 ounces purified water (tap water will add an unpleasant taste) 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey 1 teaspoon freshly ground ancho chile (or 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle or any other red chile of your choosing to your taste) 1/4 teaspoon ground achiote (annatto) seeds 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (unsweetened only, no added sugars or artificial ingredients) 2 teaspoons cacao nibs Chop chocolate into small bits.

Meanwhile, heat water with the ground

achiote seeds until just under a boil.

Turn off heat and add chopped chocolate and whisk until melted.

Add the agave nectar or honey, chile, vanilla extract and cacao nibs.

Mix well and serve hot.

(If the chocolate elixir is too thick, add enough hot water to thin to your liking.) *Use high-quality unsweetened chocolate for a truly authentic drink. This will mimic the same quality chocolate consumed by Mesoamericans. You may use Grenada Chocolate or Valrhona chocolates or any high-flavored unsweetened chocolate of the Trinitario variety of Theobroma cacao. You can find many of these locally or on chocosphere.com.

‘A huge heart and talented hands’ new Vistas program is safety net for infants, toddlers

By Kris Ota What would you do if your 14-month-old child still hasn’t taken her first step? What if your infant’s extreme irritability just wasn’t going away? Families arrive at New Vistas Early Childhood Development Program to address these and many other concerns. They find their way here or are referred by other caring people, such as pediatricians or other professionals at area hospitals or the New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department.

New Vistas’ overall mission is to partner with and support people with disabilities and the families of children with special needs. At the time it started in 1971, serving six preschool children, New Vistas Early Childhood Development was the only program of its kind New Vistas in Santa Fe. More than 40 years early Childhood later it is still the only program Development Program of its kind in Northern New 1121 Alto Street (505) 988-3803 Mexico, although it now serves newvistas.org more than 500 children from birth to age 3 and their families living in Santa Fe, San Miguel and Mora counties, including Tesuque, Nambe and Pojoaque pueblos, who have, or are at risk for, developmental delays. Research shows that the earlier intervention starts—at birth or soon after a disability or delay is recognized—the greater a child’s gains are likely to be. According to Magi Gerety, director of Early Childhood Development, “There’s a large percentage of kids, about 38 percent, who leave here and no longer require any specialized services. When you can work with kids early, there can be such a difference in their outcomes.” New Vistas provides support free of charge, and that means a lot in New Mexico, where many residents have relatively low income. The Department of Health, the city of Santa Fe, private insurance and Medicaid help pay the costs of caring for kids at New Vistas. Additional funding comes from private donations and from area foundations, including the Brindle Foundation, the Daniels Fund, the Frost Foundation, the Santa Fe Community Foundation, the Buckaroo Ball Foundation and the Christus St. Vincent Hospital Foundation.

Making it happen The Early Childhood Development program has a staff of 20 developmental specialists and case managers who work with each family to conduct an initial evaluation to determine what problems the child may be having. New Vistas has performed developmental evaluations, for example, for children with language or motor delays or with autism—a developmental disorder that usually appears before age 3 and affects a child’s ability to relate to others. Adopted children and premature babies are among their clients. Janaki King, a developmental specialist at New Vistas, said some children may have challenges with sensory processing, which can present itself in a variety of ways: Some babies prefer not to be touched or have difficulty with eye contact, and some young children have persistent difficulty focusing, sleeping or eating, or they may be unusually susceptible to stress. The results of the initial evaluation can be surprising. “Sometimes it’s a really different cause than what the family initially thought,” noted Gerety. A child may not be talking, for example, because of a sensory-processing complication. As King explained, “The body has to be organized to be able to speak,” and HealtH & Wellness

Children with prenatal drug exposure are “a significant concern right now in this city. We see two to three referrals a month. there are a lot of people in the community very concerned about the numbers of drug-exposed babies we see.”

some children need support with auditory processing and oral motor skills to make that happen. “What we’re talking about is not so much disability,” she emphasized, “but individual differences or delays.”

Next, the staff works closely to develop a therapeutic plan, with the family’s goals at the forefront. Some common family goals, according to King, may be “I want my child to be more comfortable in her body” or “I want to learn how to calm my child down,” “I want my child to smile at me or look at me more” or “I want my child to be able to tell me what he wants.” Then the staff links the family to specialized help, choosing among the services of about 30 independent contractors, including speech, physical and occupational therapists; family counselors; nutrition experts; and infant mental health services, which focus on healthy early childhood development and the parentchild relationship. Help can come in many forms. It can be highly specialized, said Gerety. “We have exemplary services for kids with autism. We have a couple of people who have this as their specialty.

Families can continue with these services when they leave our program at age 3, so there’s a lot of continuity.” And help can come in the form of linking new parents with the respite care offered by programs such as Las Cumbres or Many Mothers, which provide something as simple and necessary as a break, so an exhausted mother can recharge with a shower and a nap. One popular program is FAM JAM: Music Together, a regular music class for parents and their babies that promotes learning, bonding and fun.

It starts with respect Respect is a strong value at New Vistas. “In order to be in people’s homes, you really have to respect the way they do things,” Gerety said. “Part of that is understanding the culture. Each family is so different in how they parent, and we have to be respectful of that.”

Forty percent of New Vistas’ clients are Spanish-speaking families.

To serve them, about 60 percent of the employees, including developmental specialists and case managers, are bilingual. Santa Fe resident Pam Michaels brought two of her adopted children to New Vistas at early ages—one was 4 months old and the other 5 days old. Her children had serious health and developmental problems.

Michaels said New Vistas provided numerous therapists, sometimes six days per week. “[The program’s] commitment to human services is astonishing,” Michaels said. “New Vistas has a huge heart and talented hands. They’ve celebrated every triumph with us, every gain.” The New Vistas staff and therapists provide the kind of attention that Michaels said gives her “the feeling that my child is the only child in the world for them. They have had a positive impact on the whole family.”

Challenges and joys Children with prenatal drug exposure are “a significant concern right now in this city,” Gerety said. “We see two to three referrals a month.

There are a lot of people in the community very concerned about the numbers of drug-exposed babies we see.” Because drugs affect the nervous system, these children can be very sensitive to stimulation and need appropriate support. According to King, early intervention with drug-exposed children has a high level of success “if the parents have awareness and empathy for the child’s needs.” For example, she said, parents can learn how to help their child be in “an optimum state of arousal, known as the ‘quiet alert state,’ which is the best state for learning and taking in new information.”

An ongoing challenge for parents new to the program is braving the initial evaluation. “None of us wants to hear that things aren’t going right for our kids,” Gerety said. “All parents want their kids to succeed. So the evaluation can be scary for them.” Yet there’s often humor in facing difficult situations. Smiling, she recalled the parent who told her, “I love you guys, but you are not the club I wanted to belong to.”

By Leticia López When was the last time you shouted your own special brand of ferocity and passion, barefoot and in public— and got away with it? In a Nia class, you can. And the cheers you hear? Those will be from your doctor, as the practice of Nia gets your heart rate up and your stress level down.

Step into a Nia workout, and you immediately realize you’ve sidestepped mainstream fitness classes. Movements in Nia are borrowed from diverse worlds: the delicate, barely there microcosm of an embryo floating in its amniotic ocean; the loud vocalizations and staccato steps of African tribal dances; the precise, blade-like “hiiii-YA!” sounds, strikes and punches of tae kwon do. The practice of Nia also blends modern, jazz and Duncan dance; the martial arts of aikido and tai chi; and the pain-relief and body-awareness techniques of Feldenkrais and the Alexander Technique. The result is a heart-pounding, uplifting fusion of movement forms.

In a recent class at StudioNia Santa Fe, Nia black-belt teacher Kelle Rae Oien cues up a piece accented by cellos and flutes. As the friendly chatter in the room subsides and the notes swell to a crescendo, Mona Lisa smiles appear on the students’ lips. They take a single step forward as an act of “stepping into the practice in a mindful way,” Oien says. Then they begin to sway as she sways. “Like an easy breeze,” she whispers into the microphone of her headset.

After several minutes of watching the ribbon of arms flowing throughout the room, the word “numinous” comes to mind. This is what they’ve come for: a fun workout that, somehow, also feels like a blessing. Oien then demonstrates how to carry the ethereal

‘Love your body, love your life’

notes in one’s hands, using high balletic arm movements to “catch a bird by its tail.” The students—some athletic, some heavyset— execute surprisingly graceful arcs with their arms that begin at their hips and end with a flourish, high above their heads. With a flick of their fingers, the teacher and students release their imaginary birds.

The students gaze up the white walls to the ceiling and repeat the sequence slowly several times.

As Oien’s routine progresses, so does the cardiovascular intensity.

The class moves through high-energy sequences involving tae kwon do front kicks, back kicks and sidekicks; some students’ legs are only a few inches off the ground, while others are several feet high. To Oien, it’s all good. “Nia’s movements are designed to be adaptable by students according to their own intuition,” she says. “Basically, if it feels good, keep doing it. If it hurts, tweak and adjust.”

Another unusual aspect of this workout is that it’s blended with a clear nod to self-expression. Teachers open segments of their routines for students to “free-dance,” which is exactly how it sounds. Throughout the room, students morph into Alvin Aileys, into Shakiras, some syncopate, some stick to the beat. They’re all sweating.

As the routine winds down, Oien guides students into “embryonic” poses—another Nia-specific movement that regular gym rats never encounter. Imagine yourself free-floating on your back and stomach, as if in a bubble, as content and carefree as a yet-to-be-born baby.

With quiet “mmms” and “aahs,” students trickle to the floor. “Be in your skin, as you roooooolll,” Oien tells the class in a voice like melted chocolate.

Holistic healing After carrying out these varied movements, euphoria sets in. One can’t help but feel some sort of awe toward oneself and everyone else in class: the tender-eyed chaplain in his 60s, the statuesque businesswoman wearing zebra-print leggings, the ambitious young mother of two who has a bachelor’s degree in dance. It’s the effect of the best Nia classes: a sweaty, yet platonic love-in, the closest thing to Woodstock one can have these days. If John Lennon were alive, he’d go to Nia. “Nia is very joyful and life-affirming,” says Hampton Mabry, 69, a chaplain at Del Corazon Hospice in Santa Fe who has been doing Nia for several years. “The meditative aspect [of Nia] brings in the spirit. Reminds you how you’re connected to the Earth and the community. Even though everyone’s doing their own thing, we’re all in this together.”

While the irritations of the day unravel as you dance, says student Cha Foxhall, the effect continues after the last song has played.

Foxhall, 64, is a licensed counselor and director of the Integrative Stress Institute in Santa Fe, which specializes in stress-management group counseling. “I have recommended Nia to clients for years

Where Nia started

The Nia Technique was created in 1983 by Debbie Rosas and Carlos AyaRosas, of the San Francisco Bay area. Their goal was to create a workout that tones the body, conditions the heart and enriches the mind and spirit, says Mark Frossard, studio director of StudioNia Santa Fe. The martial art aikido provided the first inspiration for Nia, and the practice now follows the same belting system as martial arts, from beginning white-belt to master black-belt levels of education. The word “nia” means “purpose” in Swahili, and the acronym stands for “neuromuscular integrative action.”

StudioNia Santa Fe

StudioNia, whose slogan is “Love Your Body, Love Your Life,” opened three years ago with a vision to spread the Nia philosophy. While Studio Nia’s class schedule is predictably heavy on Nia classes, the studio also offers tai chi; BodyFlow (a blend of pilates, yoga and meditation set to contemporary music); African dance with live drumming; and Math and Movement classes for children. The studio has its eye on becoming the Nia headquarters of the Southwest. In line with this ambition, the studio regularly hosts nationally recognized teachers from across the country, including Randy Miller, of Los Angeles, and Helen Terry, of Houston. The studio also is home to workshops for students wishing to earn Nia belts. because Nia is very healing,” she says. “From a holistic point of view, it’s very good for the body, brain and spirit.”

Mark Frossard, former guest-services manager at Ten Thousand Waves, took over as studio director of StudioNia in December 2012.

He got his first taste of Nia about three years ago. “I took a class and felt free,” he says. “I hadn’t realized how out of my body and how out of shape I was. What I wasn’t expecting was that it brought me stress relief, mental clarity—really, inner peace. It’s made me a kinder, more patient person.”

Nia also helped him shed 50 pounds in two years. “I was incredibly overweight, and I hated going to the gym,” Frossard says. “I couldn’t even touch my knees.” Now, trim at 165 pounds, he has a blue belt in Nia and teaches several classes each week at the studio.

The long list of health benefits touted by Nia supporters includes boosting heart health in a way that’s easy on the body. “It’s a great way for patients to get fit without injuring themselves,” Dr. James Garrick states in a Nia video. Garrick is an orthopedic surgeon and medical director of the Center for Sports Medicine in San Francisco. “I’m impressed how the gentler movements of Nia get people into their training range for excellent cardiovascular benefits.”

Dr. Joel Rosen, right, medical director of hospitalists at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, talks with a patient.

A new medical specialty Hospitalists provide round-the-clock inpatient care

story By Christine BarBer Photos By kerry sCherk Hospitals are complex places, and these days the doctors who provide care inside a hospital’s walls are more likely to be part of a new medical specialty called—logically enough—“hospitalists” than the battalion of personal primary care physicians who once walked the institution’s halls. A hospitalist is a case manager of sorts, treating patients from the time they are admitted until they are well enough to go home—coordinating every aspect of the patient’s case, from prescribing medications to scheduling surgeries and calling in other specialists.

“The hospitalist is the middle person,” said Cecilia T. Garcia, director of the hospital-based medicine program at Christus St. 24

HealtH & Wellness

Vincent Regional Medical Center. “They manage the whole thing.”

Having a hospitalist ensures a consistent level of care throughout a patient’s stay, Garcia said, something that was often missing when patients were under the supervision of their family doctors. As much as patients liked seeing the familiar face of their own physician at such a critical time, family doctors were often unavailable in the middle of the night or when they were on vacation. Hospitalists, by contrast, oversee patient care around the clock while maintaining constant communication with the patient’s personal physician to access records and provide ongoing reports on the patient’s condition and progress.

For patients, the new system might not seem so seamless. One doctor may admit a patient at night, another might pick up the care the next morning and a different physician might be assigned to the

case three days later, Garcia said. But the hospitalist system means a provider is available to check on patients 24 hours a day. If the patient needs pain control or develops new symptoms, a physician who is familiar with the case is on hand to make the necessary changes.

A growing field The hospitalist specialty has only been around for about 15 years— the product of a movement that began in 1996 with an article in the New England Journal of Medicine written by Dr. Robert M. Wachter (who is credited with coining the term “hospitalist” in that article).

It appears to be here to stay. More than 30,000 hospitalists work at 3,300 hospitals nationwide, and more than 80 percent of larger hospitals have hospitalists, according to the Society of Hospital Medicine.

Hospitalist Dr. Ali Azizzi left, talks to patient Rick McCabe before his discharge Christus St. Vincent, which employs 14 hospitalists, adopted the from Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. system more than a dozen years ago. Now, more than 80 percent of patients admitted to Christus St. Vincent are under a hospitalist’s care, said Garcia. They have ailments of all types—including pneumonia, heart conditions, renal failure and liver problems—and this diversity of disease is what attracts some physicians to the field.

“We see everything, every imaginable complaint,” said Dr. Joel Rosen, the medical director of hospitalists at Christus St. Vincent, who sees about 15 to 18 patients per day. “That’s what so great about the job—the variety. No condition is the same.”

Because the hospitalist movement is so young, it has no official training path. Like many hospitalists, Rosen didn’t start out in the field. Following medical school, hospitalists typically undergo residency training in general internal medicine, general pediatrics or family practice. Rosen, for example, spent eight years in family practice before moving to hospital medicine.

Forging a new path Dr. Wachter thought it was time for a new model of care in which experts in “inpatient clinical care and hospital microsystems” ran the world of the hospital. But many family doctors reacted negatively to his 1996 article, one angry doctor writing, “Patients ill enough to be in the hospital are those who need their regular physicians the most.”

Within a few years of the article, however, studies in scientific peerreviewed journals suggested the hospitalist system might just improve on the status quo. Instead of one in five hospitalized patients being readmitted to the hospital within a month of their discharge, medical centers with hospitalists reduced patient readmissions by almost 42 percent, according to a 2008 study published in Human Resource Management.

Wachter persisted because he felt a new type of doctor was necessary to keep up with the revolutionary pace of medicine—a field that has advanced more than in the last half century than in the thousand years preceding. Specialists became necessary because no one doctor could know everything about every medical ailment and treatment. The hospitalist was a natural extension of that trend, with the hospitalist an expert in a place where healing begins—a hospital.

“Medicine has gotten very complicated,” Rosen said. “The patients are much sicker and more complicated.” This increasing intricacy is the reason for his job, he said, and one of its biggest challenges.

Harmonious healing

Integrative medicine blends the best of traditional, nontraditional approaches Story By DenniS J. Carroll photoS By kerry SCherk When it comes to medicine and the healing arts, East is not only meeting West in New Mexico, but the two are also blending under the umbrella of integrative medicine.

All around the United States, doctors trained in evidence-based—or allopathic— medicine are also studying such alternative healing practices as ayurveda, acupuncture, nutrition, tai chi, plant pharmacology and yoga—and then either opening their own practices integrating the two approaches or sharing offices with other Westerntrained doctors willing to explore these complementary modalities.

One of the leaders in combining traditional Western medicine and alternative healing therapies is Albuquerque’s Center for Life, created in 2007 as part of the Section of Integrative Medicine at the University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center.

Its director and founder, Dr. Arti Prasad, an internist who also has trained under Tucson’s integrative medicine guru Dr. Andrew Weil, said she became interested in establishing such a center at UNM after realizing in her outpatient practice that “most of my patients were healthy and they wanted health maintenance, which we never learned in residency training. I could take care of heart failure, I could take care of pneumonia … but I didn’t know how to keep people healthy.”

Prasad views the center, whose practitioners handle 10,000 to 12,000 patients visits per year, as a source for healing methods that are not only alternatives to allopathic medicine but complement Western practices.

Leora Siegel, 60, from Sandia Park turned to the center in her battle with a rare uterine cancer.

“The main thing I got at the beginning,” Siegel said, “was hope, because I didn’t

have a lot.” She said the center’s various treatment modes, including acupuncture and meditation, have kept her immune and digestive systems strong so she could better handle the aggressive cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, at UNM’s Cancer Center. It also helped her with the stress of fighting a deadly disease. “I meditated through my radiation treatment,” she said.

The Center for Life’s medical staff consists of two internal medical physicians, one family practice doctor, three doctors of Oriental medicine, two massage therapists, a chiropractor, a nurse practitioner and a mental health specialist. Treatments include acupuncture, meditation, pain management, nutrition consultation, chiropractic medicine, myofascial therapy, visceralneural manipulation, energy medicine and massage therapy. The center can also arrange visits to curanderos and other traditional folk healers.

Prasad said the center tries to maintain a relaxed, healing environment with soft-

colored walls, bubbling fountains and treatment rooms—intentionally not called “exam” rooms. There are no numbers on the treatment room doors. Instead, each room bears a label that suggests an intention, such as “Longevity,” “Relax” and “Heal.” Classes, workshops and lectures are held in the “Wisdom” room.

‘People get better’ This issue of the Santa Fe New Mexican’s Health and Wellness magazine’s health services directory lists several medical practices that specifically offer integrative therapies. That’s compared to no separate integrative medicine category a year ago, which, if nothing else, reflects an increased awareness of such combined medical practices.

“I can’t tell you why they work or how they work, but people get better,” said Kurt Kastendieck, M.D., of the healing therapies offered by his colleague Dr. Eric Grasser, a physician who also practices ayurveda and “functional medicine.” The functional HealtH & Wellness

model of medicine, which Grasser said is only about 25 years old, uses a systems-oriented approach to treating the whole person, rather than an isolated set of symptoms.

Kastendieck and Grasser operate separate practices but share space, staff and expenses under one shingle, Unity Medical, at 421 St. Michael’s Drive in Santa Fe, along with Ron Press, M.D., who practices family medicine. “I get a lot of patients who don’t necessarily want the traditional [Western] way of treating things,” Kastendieck said.

“They want to get treated for the problem but sometimes are a little leery of Western medicine.”

Grasser took up ayurvedic medicine when he discovered, while treating patients at La Familia Medical Center, that many also had been going to shamans, curanderos, ayurveda practitioners and other alternative healers.

These alternative healing disciplines are growing more popular, Grasser offered, because their practitioners “spend time listening to the patients, and people appreciate that.”

Even with separate practices, doctors practicing Western-only medicine and alternative practitioners in shared offices occasionally consult one another about patients, thereby increasing the number of options available to patients.

Kastendieck recalled a patient who was having problems sleeping. The two discussed stress reduction, reducing caffeine intake and such, he said, “but when I talked to them about what I had to offer [prescription medications] they weren’t particularly interested.” The patient, Kastendieck said, was leery of possible lingering sedation, dizziness and other side effects. “So I just went over and found Eric [Grasser] and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this patient …’ and told him the situation and asked whether he could recommend something for them. He did, and everything worked out.”

Grasser, 40, joined Unity Medical about 18 months ago, after completing his medical residency at the UNM hospitals and a stint with La Familia in Santa Fe, followed by two years at the Ayurveda Institute in Albuquerque.

Grasser describes ayurveda, which comes from the East India Vedic tradition, as “the 32

Eric Grasser, MD, a primary care physician practicing integrative medicine, performs Marma therapy on a patient at his practice, Unity Medicine. Marma therapy is an ayurvedic accupressure treatment.

oldest known medical system in the world.”

Its written texts are 2,000 years old, and its oral traditions date back 5,000 to 10,000 years.

“Western medicine has done remarkable things in modern times,” he acknowledged, especially in acute care, emergency care and infection control. “But it doesn’t do a very good job in addressing dysfunctions overall in the body. It doesn’t really look at the root cause of a problem. Family doctors are so overwhelmed and overworked that it is sometimes difficult to step back and take more of a bird’s-eye view.”

Grasser has found that taking that step back, even in his practice of ayurvedic and functional medicine, is often difficult in the context of the Western-medicine office— especially when he gets entangled with the medical insurance industry. The insurance system—which Grasser calls the “unsure system,” because patients often are confused about which treatments are covered and which are not—will often cover some of the traditional treatments and diagnostic tests but refuses to pay for many of his ayurvedic methods.

The medical insurance system, he said,

is not designed to keep patients well; it’s “an insurance against them having a very large bill” and is based on assigning a code to scores of specific medical problems, such as diabetes or a broken leg. “So if you come in here and say, ‘Doc, I just don’t feel well,’ there’s no code for that, and I won’t get paid.”

If a patient really wants to get to the root cause of a problem, he said, an ayurvedic consult, which requires an out-of-pocket payment because it’s not covered by insurance, can be helpful. “You get time with me,” he said, “and we can take you through an understanding of your history, your diet. We take patients through the day from the time they get up.” Grasser said he loses money on his ayurveda practice, but he does it anyway.

In the time it takes to treat one ayurveda patient, he could be seeing three or four patients covered by traditional insurance.

With its focus on diet, lifestyle, herbs, oils and detoxification, Grasser said, “ayurvedic medicine is like getting back in touch with the laws of nature.” The tradition also attempts to treat individuals according to their particular physical, mental and emotional constitutions or makeups, which it calls doshas.

People are born with different mental and physical types and then “life comes along and disturbs the natural balance of your constitution,” Grasser said. “[Ayurvedic] treatments bring people back into their natural states.”

My Life. My Death. My Choice.

A Team Approach to Your Hearing Care For over 25 years, Southwestern Ear, Nose and Throat Associates has been committed to serving the communities of Northern New Mexico.

At the Hearing and Balance Center, we take a medical approach to your care, not a retail approach. Our team of physicians and audiologists provides cohesive care in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing and balance problems.

We are proud to be the largest single site hearing aid provider in New Mexico, dispensing hearing aids from the top manufacturers in the industry, including PhonakTM, a recognized innovator of hearing aid technologies. The Hearing and Balance center is also contracted with all major insurance companies for hearing aid benefits.

You’ll see and hear the difference with our care. Just give us a call to set up a free consultation with one of our audiologists. We will discuss various hearing options with you.

To make an appointment, please call our main office: 505-946-3955 1620 Hospital Drive Santa Fe, New Mexico www.swenthearing.com www.swentnm.com Locations in Española, Los Alamos, Las Vegas and Santa Fe
