Aphora Spa Opens Glenview IL

When Aphora Spa opens its doors at 2300 Chestnut Avenue in Glenview on October 7, spa devotees and newcomers alike will be treated to something different – a magnificent multi-million-dollar setting catering to the ultimate in relaxation, a full menu of eco-friendly services at surprisingly affordable prices, and a personal, in the flesh, non-stuffy welcome from owners Kathy and Mike Duncan. Yes, this newest addition to the North Shore may set a new standard in the spa world, comparable to those ridiculously expensive “ranch-type” places in Arizona and California, by understanding that success is predicated on how you are made to feel, from the moment you call or walk in until well after your visit is complete.

“We’re in the business of making you feel better,” says owner Kathy Duncan who, along with husband Mike, created Aphora Spa at the same location in which their former tenant had built out an incredible spa space but went out of business in less than two years – due in part to a challenging economy but perhaps even more to not knowing how to respond to a challenging economy.

“Everyone is cutting back on their ‘feel good’ spending these days,” explains Kathy. “We need to be sensitive to that reality, and we believe our pricing will reflect that.” In addition to pricing that, for exclusive, self-indulgent spa services averages 10-20% below the typical North Shore spa, Kathy and Mike’s business background has taught them that an over-built, over-priced spa catering primarily to that special occasion quickly becomes an under-utilized venue – particularly in a recession. (Kathy, a Northbrook School District PTA President and mother of three, spent many years as an executive in the restaurant industry. Mike was a successful insurance agency owner before becoming a commercial and residential property developer.)

“We need to be a regular part of our clients’ lives,” says Kathy, “and we’re going to do whatever it takes to deliver that caliber and range of extraordinary, eco-friendly mind, body and soul services. There’s nothing worse than paying a lot of money for a customized facial or deep tissue massage and feeling like running home to take a shower and ‘clean off’ from the experience. At Aphora Spa, the before- and after-treatment cleaning and relaxation are half the fun with our 3,000+ square foot ladies’ locker room (the men’s is smaller, but still appealing) complete with a waterfall, hydrotherapy, meditation dark room and tea lounge. You may never want to go home!”

With a certified green footprint, the area’s most complete menu of eco-friendly services and treatments, a healthy cafe and lounge that will include outdoor seating by the lake whenever the weather cooperates, a green boutique and array of extras from nutritional counseling to acupuncture, and a wife and husband team that knows how to build a successful business by catering to their clients’ needs, Aphora Spa should be around for quite a while.

Spa Shop and Dine in Long Branch New Jersey

Spa Shop and Dine is the NJ Event of The Summer

NJ day spa launches summer promotional event at Pier Village in Long Branch. The event includes discounts and specials at Pier Village shops and restaurants, and of course, big savings at Aquamedica Salon & Day Spa.

NJ Spa owner launches discount day at Pier Village called Spa Shop and Dine. Each Tuesday in June shoppers can get great discounts at participating shops and Aquamedica Spa will be offering discounts on their famous spa services.

Valentina Chistova, owner of Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa in Pier Village, likes the challenge of an aggressive marketplace. The savvy 60-year-old spa owner has been successfully surviving the country’s worst recession with clever marketing and meaningful messaging. Now she has turned her skill towards drumming up business for her fellow Pier Village neighbors.

The concept is simple, each month, pick a dedicated day of the week where Pier Village businesses can come together and offer special discounts to patrons who spa, shop, or dine on that particular day, hence the name ‘Spa, Shop & Dine’. The discounts will be focused on driving business to slower days of the week for all participating vendors.

The initiative kicks off this June on Tuesdays. Patrons will be able to take advantage of discounts and premiums from Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa, The Wine Loft, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and The Turning Point restaurant. Each month they hope to gain more participation from Pier Village businesses and continue to offer phenomenal deals to shoppers.

Chistova commented on the program, “We have already been offering great deals to our clients. Despite the recession, we still want them to be able to come and enjoy our services. As we became successful with our own programs, we decided it made sense to ask other Pier Village businesses to participate with us. It is a win-win situation for all involved.”

Spa, Shop and Dine kicks off in June with no end date in mind. “If the program is a success, I see no reason why we will stop,” said Chistova. “We would love to continue the program all year round.”

The legacy started last year when Chistova helped celebrate Black Friday one week early and offered holiday shoppers Buy One Get One free gift certificates at a catered event at her spa. The event was a huge success and prompted Chistova to launch her ‘Aquamedica Cares’ program, a series of weekly specials that discounts their most popular spa services by as much as 50%. Chistova says, “In a time when families and businesses are affected most by a deteriorating economy, we wanted to put our spa to good use by filling it with people who are longing for spa relief but cannot afford our services right now. “

New York Day Spa Special Facial Discounted

Geisha “Bird Poop” Facial Among $50 Offerings for New York Spa Week
The Geisha Facial at Shizuka New York Day Spa, nicknamed the “Bird Poop Facial,” promises to be one of the most unusual offerings during New York Spa Week (April 13-19, 2009). Regularly $180, the Geisha Facial will be priced at $50 during Spa Week to encourage more New Yorkers to try this results-oriented facial whose story has captivated audiences worldwide for its unique use of an ancient Japanese skin care secret…bird droppings.

 When Spa Week 2009 (April 13-19) descends on New York City it won’t be the only thing dropping. Midtown’s Shizuka New York Day Spa will be offering up its Geisha Facial–coined the “Bird Poop Facial”–for $50 as part of the bi-annual event designed to bring spa culture to the masses. Normally priced at $180, Shizuka’s exclusive Geisha Facial has received widespread international attention for its unique use of an ancient Japanese ingredient…bird droppings.

Created by Manhattan skin care guru Shizuka Bernstein, the story of the Geisha Facial has traveled around the world to the great delight and surprise of audiences. Featured on The Today Show, The View, CNN, CNBC, Fox News and live on E!’s Red Carpet Countdown to the 2008 Primetime Emmy’s, this highly effective, results-oriented treatment has become the buzz of the beauty industry. Even Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham is rumored to be a recent convert to the power of the poo.

The Geisha Facial derives from the practices of ancient geishas who were faced with chronic health problems due to the presence of lead in their thick, white makeup. These geishas looked to the nightingale–an iconic symbol of beauty — for their solution. In so doing, they found that nightingale droppings possessed a unique ability to both cleanse and nourish their skin. Shizuka combines this time-honored practice with modern, Western dermatological touches to create a full and luxurious facial treatment. In addition to the light exfoliation of her UV sterilized bird droppings mask, she cleanses the skin with her own all-natural product line and massages the face with oil from the Japanese camellia blossom, a relative of the green tea plant.

Also on Shizuka’s $50 Spa Week menu are a 45-minute Swedish massage, and her all-natural Sakura Pedicure with extra Reflexology. Asked why she chose include a 50-Minute Geisha Facial, Bernstein replied that she wanted more people to be able to try this one-of-a-kind treatment, especially in these stressful times. “First and foremost, the Geisha Facial is quality skin care,” she says, “but it also represents a way for us to relax and pamper ourselves and, especially now, we could all use more of that.”

Prevent Sports Injuries with Massage

Good conditioning, massage can keep you healthy on the course or court, says Massage Envy

DALLAS, Texas Golfers complain of lower back, shoulder and arm injuries. Tennis players are prone to aching backs, tender wrists and painful inner elbows.

Most tennis and golf-related injuries occur because players don’t adequately train and then overdo it on the course or court.

Golfers tend to swing too vigorously, spraining or straining the muscles in their backs and arms. They’re also prone to injuries from lifting and lugging overloaded golf bags.

Gripping the racquet too tightly is to blame for many tennis injuries to the elbow and arm. Rotator cuff damage can result from aggressive swinging. Hamstrings, knees and feet also take a beating on the court.

To prevent sports-related injuries, prepare for the demands of your sport. If you can’t walk a mile or two without anything hurting, you shouldn’t think about any activity until you can.

If you’re plagued by recurring pain or injury, consult a doctor and a golf or tennis pro. A professional instructor can pinpoint seemingly minor errors in your grip or swing that can cause major damage to your muscles and tendons.

Even if you concentrate on conditioning, sometimes injuries do happen. Doctors often recommend applying ice to any strain or sprain during the first 72 hours, then switching to a moist heating pad. Nonprescription medicine can help control pain. And a massage will promote healing.

“Massage is great in helping to bring blood and nutrients to the affected area to repair the soft tissue,” said CG Funk, Vice President of Industry Relations for Massage Envy, the leading provider of massage therapy in the U.S. “Massage also can help break up scar tissue and keep the muscles supple so less scar tissue develops in the first place.”

Even when there’s no injury, massage also helps athletes of all levels improve their flexibility and muscle suppleness. The kneading action of a massage disperses the accumulation of lactic acid, which causes fatigued, sore muscles.

When you book your Massage Envy massage, request a therapist experienced in sports massage, and ask that special attention be paid to any injured areas. A massage therapist can also stretch the muscles in trouble areas, promoting increased flexibility when the body is warm and more elastic.

Introductory 1-hour Massage Envy massage session (consists of 50 minute massage and time for consultation and dressing) is just $39. Massage Envy emberships are available for $49 per month and include one 1-hour massage session. Massage Envy members may also enjoy unlimited additional 1-hour massage sessions at the $39 member rate. For more information, log on to massage envy to find the nearest Massage Envy clinic. There are 25 Massage Envy locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
