Spa Gregorie’s Wellness Rocks! Program Combines Treatments, Education And Activities To Optimize Clients’ Health

Program goes beyond the scope of traditional spa services to help clients achieve total mind/body wellness

NEWPORT BEACH, California - May 22, 2006 - After years of helping Orange County residents relax and rejuvenate with signature day spa services, Spa Gregorie’s has expanded its offerings to include a comprehensive wellness program.  Wellness Rocks! encourages clients to take a holistic approach to health with spa therapies designed to maximize wellbeing,  increase longevity, and address specific health concerns.  The program, coordinated by wellness expert Dr. Gena Kadar, D.C. and supported by Clinical Hypnotherapist Sue Berman, incorporates traditional spa therapies as well as diet and fitness recommendations with the benefits of Eastern and Western medicine and hypnotherapy.

        “Wellness Rocks! allows Spa Gregorie’s to offer clients a plan for getting the most out of life,” says Spa Principal and Founder Angela Cortright.  “Through an individualized program of spa treatments, nutrition and exercise, our experts can help clients achieve optimum health now and throughout their lifetimes.  In addition to addressing overall wellness, Wellness Rocks! has packages designed to treat insomnia, chronic pain, smoking addiction, weight management, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), stress, sports performance, and women’s hormonal issues. The program is unique in the spa industry because we take the whole person into consideration and offer a personalized plan for helping clients reach their overall health goals.”

      Before treatment begins, each client receives a thorough evaluation that includes a review of past and present health history; complete physical, neurological, orthopedic and chiropractic

examination; postural evaluation; and diet and lifestyle assessments.  After the initial meeting, Dr. Kadar presents a personal health action plan that details recommendations for treatment and helps guide and support clients as they progress through their course of care.

        Spa Gregorie’s Wellness Rocks! program also includes monthly outings to encourage exercise through fun group activities.  Yoga on the Beach, Back Bay Bike Ride, Corona del Mar Dog Walk, and kayaking are just a few of the planned activities.  In addition, monthly seminars on topics ranging from healthy cooking to nutritional supplements to achieving health goals through visualization round out the Wellness Rocks! program.  All outings and seminars are free or offered at a minimal cost, usually not more than $15.

        Spa Gregorie’s  also collaborates with like-minded businesses in the community to add value to the program.  lululemon athletica (athletic apparel), Fitness Patrol (personal training), Nike Women, and Trader Joe’s all  partner with Spa Gregorie’s in unique ways to promote healthful living.

        Wellness Director Kadar comes to Spa Gregorie’s after years in private practice.  A lifelong interest in natural health and healing led her to the art and science of Chiropractic care and Natural Medicine.  After completing a bachelor degree at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and studies at the University of Salamanca in Spain and the Sorbonne, University of Paris, she relocated to Southern California to attend Southern California University of Health Sciences where she earned a doctorate in Chiropractic.

      She is joined by Clinical Hypnotherapist Sue Berman, who spent more than 20 years working in the medical field before pursuing her current profession.  A member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy, she maintains an active practice in Seal Beach, Calif.  She has experienced the benefits of hypnotherapy personally, and is passionate about sharing her skills with others suffering from maladies that are often unresponsive to traditional medicine, including IBS, smoking addiction, insomnia, stress, eating disorders, chronic pain and more.
