Letter from ROSEANNE While recently cleaning out files in my office I ran across some ancient Body Serene papers from 1998. I felt transported immediately to what feels like a different lifetime! In 1998, my business was 3 years old, my son was 3 years old and I was in my very early 30’s! We hadn’t even moved into our current building yet! Now, in 2012, we have just gone through a “facelift” of sorts. We closed for four days in a row for the first time in our history so we could have our floors sanded and varnished and our walls repainted. We even switched out our mural for a huge new mirror to complete the restoration! It feels fresh and new and wonderful to kick off our New Year! These recent events caused me to reflect on not only how we have changed over the years but also how we have stayed the same. The intention when I started Body Serene was to provide comforting and effective experiences for our customers. Coming from a Physical Therapy background kept the clinical and health based aspects of our services the greatest focus. I also felt strongly that we should provide the best home care products so that our customers could continue their regimens of health and stress reduction in their own environment. I feel proud to know that this focus on health and wellness continues to be the foundation for all we provide now and for always. I always hear that there is something different about us than any other spa our customers have experienced. I believe it is that basis first in health than in beauty that creates a big part of the magic that happens here at Body Serene. I wish our Body Serene Community health, comfort and joy this New Year! We are committed to continuing to provide the very best of all of those in 2012 and beyond!

Roseanne Klementisz is the owner of The Body Serene. Located in the heart of Skippack Village, The Body Serene is one of area’s finest day spas.

Healthy Hair Questions

&

Answers

with Barbara Stratton, owner Mira Salon

T

he winter months can be a disaster for your hair. We have asked Barbara Stratton, owner of Mira Salon in Skippack, to give us some tips and treatments to make your hair look heatlhy during the winter season. Here is what she had to tell us: SM: Need to rescue winter hair?

SB: E ven though we have had an incredibly mild winter, we still have to battle with dry air and artificial heat. In the winter, there are as many challenges dealing with stressed hair as in the summer. Like your skin, hair needs nourishment. A healthy lifestyle is crucial to looking great. Diet and exercise are imperative to healthy hair. Make sure to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest!

SM: What treatment will help those suffering with scalp issues? SB: H ot oil treatments will temporarily put shine in your hair. Shine alone does not indicate healthy hair. Truly healthy hair is not only shiny, but youthful looking as well. When professional products are used consistently, hair stays healthy. L’Oreal’s Series Expert is a prescriptive line with a focus on repair. Begin with a Power Dose and you will start to see lasting results. If you are seeking a more natural alternative, Eufora is an organic aloe based line, which provides healing properties.

“It all goes hand in hand. Before you know it, we’ll be seeing Spring flowers. Stay tuned for the Summer Issue for recommendations about how to protect your hair from the perils of summer!”

Chantal and her husband live in the Barto area and have two beautiful daughters. One of her girls attends HSU and studies biology, her other daughter is currently in the 5th grade. Chantal loves to cook, bake and dance and our team has benefited from those particular passions, we love her biscotti! When asked about the connection between health and beauty Chantal replies,” they clearly go together. The intention of our many services is to make our customers feel relaxed, beautiful and refreshed. Everyone needs some downtime to look and feel their best!” Chantal has a special gift of knowing how to make people feel great!

S oft and comforting, NeckEase is the ideal way to soothe pain and stiffness from exercise and injury, or stress and tension buildup in the neck and shoulders.

Apply as a cold pack to address acute injury or after intensive exercise or physical therapy. Apply heated anytime and anywhere for safe, comforting relief from daily stress, headache, muscle ache or simply to warm and relax the body.

Patricia Capogreco Patricia has been a valued massage therapist on our team for over 7 years! Patricia has an amazing ability to address both muscle issues for our customers as well as creating a deep sense of relaxation. She says,” in my early years as a therapist my approach was “work those muscles” and it will make the body feel better. Now, through my own hurdles and interactions with customers I have realized that the “mind” is the vessel to the body.” In addition to her massage career, Patricia has been a leather seamstress and supervisor for the Victoria Leather Company for over 29 years! Patty lives in Red Hill with her beloved and also very talented daughter. During downtime Patricia enjoys hiking, especially on the Pocono Mountains. A few years ago, Patricia attended a class to learn a specialized “Indian Scalp Massage” that she now offers at The Body Serene. She believes strongly in this technique’s ability to break through stress, anxiety and tension to restore positive energy and make tense muscles more relaxed and productive. Patricia brings positive energy to our team and customers!
