New Year, New You!

Everyone loves the New Year! It's a chance for complete renewal, of body, mind and spirit and a time to set goals and find ways of reaching them.

Spa Utopia wants to help you reach your beauty and wellness goals, and we have a number of exciting programs and services to do just that.

For example, if feeling fitter and better weight management are your goals, or you want to ensure your family eats more nutritiously this year, we have recently launched Life Designs Nutrition Workshops with Andrea Ferguson and her team of certified nutritionists. The workshops begin in January and include Eat Right for Life (three separate seminars) addressing adults' nutritional needs, as well as Eat Right from the Start (a seminar for parents of 1 to 5-year-olds ) and Eat Right to Grow Right (a seminar for parents of 5 to 12-year-olds).

One of the benefits of taking a nutrition workshop is that you will better understand the concept of yo-yo dieting and how easy it is to set yourself up for failure when restricting calories. Learning more about the roles various foods play in weight management and how to make delicious meals that support your body, mind, skin, hair and energy levels, will help you take control of your body instead of being captive to cravings. It's well worth the investment and January is a great time to start! Read more about Life Designs Nutrition Workshops here.

If reducing the level of stress you experience is on your radar for 2011, Spa Utopia has a number of services that can help you relax more. Advanced Therapeutic Massage sessions, including those that address tension headaches, breathing and digestive problems, are all ways to help you better manage your stressors. You might also consider booking a Detoxifying Body Treatment such as the Spa Utopia Monticelli Soothing Mud or Ocean Detox Wrap to kick-start (and maintain) the new you. You can read more about our Advanced Therapeutic Massage treatments here and Detoxifying Body Treatments here.  

 One of the many ways people choose to celebrate the new year is with a different "look."  A new hair style from the world class stylists at our Spa Utopia Salon locations, a makeover using healthy mineral makeup, or a simple manicure and pedicure are great ways to renew yourself in preparation for the year ahead. You can read more about our Salon Hair Services and Makeup Application here.

If 2011 is the year you'll welcome a new bundle of joy to the world, you might consider Spa Utopia Healthy Pregnancy sessions—incorporating massage, specific exercises and hydrotherapy techniques to promote the health and stability of your body as it adjusts to changes throughout pregnancy. You can find more details on these popular sessions here.

Finally, one of the top two resolutions for New Year is to quit smoking (the other is to lose weight).  Experts in smoking cessation often recommend rewarding yourself for milestones such as one week, one month, six months and a year. Doing something positive for your body, such as a detoxifying treatment, helps reinforce why you are giving up the habit.

To book any treatment or service, please call your local Spa Utopia and Salon or book online.

Spa Utopia would like to take this opportunity to wish all our treasured guests a very happy, healthy and beautiful New Year!
