Ciao Mama at the Lodge at Woodloch
Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment
From time to time I receive inquiries from women looking for spas that offer pre- and post-natal treatments and was really delighted to find out about two new treatments now offered at The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley, PA.
For women seeking treatments to assist with relaxation and rejuvenation, these two services by the Belli Skin Care baby line may be the answer as they’re also clinically proven to be safe for both mother and unborn child, according to Ginny Lopis, co-owner of The Lodge. (Visit www.belliskincare.com for more details on safety and efficacy.)
The Soothing Body Polish is a luxurious body treatment that begins with an invigorating scrub rich in anti-oxidants, followed by a gentle loofa cleansing using green tea and cucumber. Next, oils rich in Vitamin E and Kola Extract are applied on the belly to help prevent stretch marks, along with a foot massage of peppermint, tea tree and shea butter that leaves one feeling totally refreshed.
The Gentle Belli Facial is a custom belly treatment, designed to hydrate and refine skin at any stage of pregnancy. The treatment begins with a balancing herbal cleanser of green tea and cucumber; next a gentle exfoliation prepares the skin for a luxurious belly masque which helps increase elasticity and prevent stretch marks, accompanied by a soothing hand and foot massage. The treatment is concluded with a light belly massage featuring lavender and sweet almond oil, followed by a hydrating citrus lotion to soothe and uplift. The treatment can also be customized as a post-natal facial.

Recently celebrating their 2nd anniversary, The Lodge at Woodloch is one of my favorite east coast destination spas. It is located on 75 wooded acres with a private lake in northeastern PA (Hawley) and offers outdoor adventure activities, golf, classes and a full service spa in a relaxing mountain environment. It is about 2.5 hours outside New York City and offers packages for relaxation, renewal and rejuvenation.

Perspective, Clarity and Serenity
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
If there was ever a good time to consider a getaway, this is it! With so much going on it is important that we take some time to step back from the news and the updates and information overload. It reminds me of going through a maze and if we could take a view from a little higher up we would be able to find the path of least resistance. So, with that said, if you’re in a leadership role, or in the midst of some of this chaos perhaps a getaway, even 3-4 days can help you find perspective, clarity and serenity to move forward and make decisions that will be beneficial vs reactive.
There are many spas that are offering fall promotions and rather than figure it all out on your own, you’re just a call away from getting some assistance … and a friendly voice as well! Remember, ’spa’ is more than a massage and facial, it’s a lifestyle and a committment to better health…..nutrition, fitness, stress management and all of these will help you gain greater perspective in a calming and positive atmosphere.
UPDATES:
Canyon Ranch has announced a new benefit for anyone flying into Phoenix airport (so much easier for my east coast friends) and this is valid with a 7-night stay. And, if you’re on the east coast and
just need to go sooner than later and have 2-3 nights, than Lenox would be the best option.
Miraval is offering Fall promotional rates as is Red Mountain Spa. There are options available that will save money and give you the respite you may want or need. If you prefer a 7-night getaway at Rancho la Puerta in Tecate, Mexico – we can look at some fall promotions I’m offering for there as well.
Until next time…………….breathe deeply and take some time to relax. – Donna
