Personal wellness is a necessity for persons desiring to live a healthier and more joyful life. Learn more about your skin, hair, diet, health/life style, nutrition, spiritual development and more. Why run around for weeks trying to get experts to help you. Get it all done in one weekend. Each activity takes place in a quaint, lovely, relaxing setting; and is performed by a licensed or certified person. Our Holistic Wellness Retreat is located on a mountainside near the Rocky Mt. National Park. This is not a sterile institutional spa atmosphere, but more like a casual, homey B&B. There are plenty of places for you to get away, meditate, hike, walk, relax or read. We are located about 15 to 20 minutes from the Rocky Mt. National Park

Spa

Recommended Treatment:
A therapeutic Massage by a certified massage therapist. This special massage will reduce your stress, increase blood circulation and oxygen to the blood, alleviate headaches, improve digestion, promote better sleeping patterns, and more. It's amazing how much tension is reflected in the face. (Four types of common massages to chose from.) Hot Stone Massage is only $10 more!

Alternative: Illuminating Salt Glow Your choice of essential oils will be added to refined marine salts. The blend is applied over the body to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and invigorate the skin. After your shower, a hydrating lotion is massaged onto your body. Includes either a Exfoliating foot scrub or hand scrub. This is especially good to get rid of the dead layer of skin after a dry winter.

Alternative: Mud Wrap (seaweed wrap) Choose from four different types: Remineralizing Mud Treatment/Detoxifying Mud Treatment/Body Contouring Treatment/or/Total FirmingTreatment. Thalassothy's - a synergy of the benefits of the sea, carefully selected essential oils and specialized techniques. Remineralize and rebalance the skin and the body while calming the spirit and inducing well being. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation therapies combining intense product application for genuine and significant results. Additional $20 fee.

Beauty or Hair Salon

Recommended Treatment: European Facial with Exfoliation: Helps maintain a healthy complexion incorporating European methods. A melody of nature's best: grapefruit, aloe vera or honey extract cleanses the skin. A gentle exfoliation brings an instant radiance to the skin. Thereafter, a customized ampoule, a relaxing facial massage, and mask treatment rejuvenates and illuminates the complexion. (60 minutes)

Men's Detoxifying De-stressing Treatment is also available with special blend of essential oils for the male face; combined with a series of relaxing massages including the scalp, face, neck and shoulders ensure a deep sense of well-being and relaxation. The skin is immediately bright, clean, soft and refreshed.

Alternative: Active Contour Eye Treatment: Ophthalmology-tested, all-natural treatment to soothe and refresh the eyes. This calming, antiaging and revitalizing treatment uses special blends of ginseng, cornflower and chamomile to reduce puffiness, diminish dark circles and create an overall feeling of relaxation. (approximately 30 minutes) PLUS a parafin wax dip for the hands to complete the anti-aging treatment.

Alternative: Hair Education: Massage of your scalp, followed by a hair cut and style. When you look in the mirror at your hairstyle, do you sometimes grimmace or smirk? Now is your chance to ask an expert all those questions about your choice of hair cuts, split ends, color variations, grey cover up, adding body, etc. Included free: one bottle of appropriate new hair product (up to $20 value).

Nutrition

Did you know cravings are a sign of malnourishment? That stress can overwork adrenals and cause the thyroid to slow and the body to gain weight? Learn the latest research in nutrition and exercise that pertains to your needs.

Vitamins, Oils, Herbs, and Aromatherapy You will have up to 90 minutes to ask your questions, like: What is cold pressed? How do I stop chronic colds or sinus problems? What herbs have anti-aging properties? What is a natural way to ease hormonal and menopause changes? NOTE: This includes a thorough in-take and evaluation process. Tip us off to your key concern early, and she can have handouts ready for you when you arrive.

NEW: No one can get enough of Mary's help, and to meet past clients' requests, we have added the option of seeing her for an additional $1/minute. You can either reserve additional time (eg: 1 hour at $60), or you can stay and pay by the minute (length depends on whether she has other clients following you or not). This is a bargain! well below normal rates. Get all your answers in one visit. (She is available for follow up)

"The nutritionist was excellent as was everything...She was eager, informative, and extremely knowlegable. Most of all, I just loved her shop! And that little town was totally delightful. Loved it."

Why use a professional herbalist?

It is also of the utmost importance to use quality products in your therapeutic program. Many herbs and supplements are of poor quality and will be ineffective and create another stress in your life. We have personally evaluated many products on the market and will assure that you receive the highest quality products available.

Our director has obtained a Holistic Health Professional Certificate and has incorporated many of the processes and modalities she studied into her wellness program.
