Women Rock! Bras for a Cause! Event October 29, 2011

Women Rock, Inc. has declared they will ‘Leave No Stone Unturned’ and that their mission “is to promote breast cancer awareness, the importance of the early detection of breast cancer, and to provide financial assistance, encouragement, and support to underserved and underpriveleged women in the Texoma are to obtain mammograms.”

 

Tonight, October 29, 2001, was a fabulous event to raise money for this emerging non-profit. Here is one of their stories:

In 93, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 35 years old. I know, what a young age! She was cancer-free for one year. She had to go back to the doctor every 6 months for her check-ups, and the third time we went back the doctor discovered a tumor. She passed away in ’95 at the age of 37. I was only 13. I will say it’s very hard growing up without having your mother around.

My name is Melissa, and I have struggled over the last couple of years with having a mammogram done. I know it’s very important for me to have mammogram screenings once a year because of my mom’s breast cancer at such a young age, but my only problem is being able to pay for it. I called a local hospital to ask some questions about how much it would cost to have the mammogram screening. When she told me the price, I knew I couldn’t afford it. I then started talking to LuAnn, and she told me about a program she started called Women Rock. This program helped me get a mammogram screening done! I was excited to hear about Women Rock! It is a good program to help women be able to afford mammograms. If it wasn’t for Women Rock, I would not have been able to have a mammogram. I believe early detection means everything. I was very pleased with the way I was treated and the help that Women Rock provided. Thank you Women Rock! Melissa Mccommas

Women Rock, Inc. receives requests from women every day like this. Every request is an opportunity to save a life through early detection and treatment. Their “One Image at a Time” fundraising goal is $75,000. This will support funding 500 requests for help.

Here are some images and videos from the fundraising event on October 29, 2011.

We had a great time at the Kidd Key Auditorium Municipal Ballroom right in downtown Sherman, Texas.  some of the Bra Models included:

Mayor Bill Goodson – City of Whitewright, Texas with a Egyptian Beaded bra updated to honky tonk style designed by friends of Women of Visionary Influence (WOVI) modeling to Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.

Spa Pedicures that are safe for Diabetics

We use a special product line in our pedicures and manicures that not only inhibits fungal and tuberculoidal infection, but soften the skin and easily reduces calluses and heel cracks.

How Footlogix™ works

Foot Care Mousse with Dermal Integration Technology. Footlogix™ mousse incorporates the latest groundbreaking technology called Dermal Integration Technology™ (DIT). DIT is a patented trans-dermal technology that allows the active ingredients in Footlogix™ to penetrate faster and deeper into the skin than any other product. Footlogix™ mousse closely mimics the skin’s own composition, enabling it to gently penetrate the outer layers of the skin. By doing so, Footlogix™ mousse moisturizes with maximum efficiency. Ensuring hydration is provided to the layers that require it is the secret to healthy, happy, well cared for feet. It supplements, rejuvenates, moisturizes and repairs the epidermis, creating a non-occlusive, long-lasting barrier on the feet, allowing the skin to transpire normally. Footlogix™ mousse is completely and quickly absorbed into the skin. It forms a safe protective barrier just below the skin’s surface leaving no excess or greasy residue. The skin’s overall health improves quickly – visible results are evident within days and continue to build with on-going use. This product is available for your purchase in our Bella Boutique in several treatment levels ranging from dry skin to cracked heels with risk of fungus.

Footlogix™ footbath can be used on the entire body, but is especially useful for cleaning and softening hands and feet. If you have problems with your cuticles, or cracked heels and are at risk of fungal or other infection, you will want to purchase this product for home use. One or two drops in the bath will soften you head to toe. Combine with a scrub for gentle exfoliation for even deeper penetration and follow with the Foot Care Mousse.You can find this product in our Bella Boutique.

Features of Footlogix Foot Soak Concentrate

* Anti-microbial
* Gentle pH balanced cleanser
* Hydrates skin while softening for easier callus reduction
* Sulfate Free

* Contains no oils – will not leave a residue

Footlogix™ Foot Massage Lotion contains 10% urea. Moisturizes effectively without leaving a greasy residue. Use after the bath and before the appropriate Footlogix™ Mousse. This product is also available in our Bella Boutique.

Footlogix™ ‘Pediceuticals’ are safe for Diabetics – Diabetics can be assured of safety with Footlogix™ products which are oil-free and non-occlusive, allowing the skin to breathe.

Body Treatments (Body Wrap) at the Spa and for Home

Taking care of your skin beyond your face is one of our specialties! Our treatments include exfoliation and steam infusing ayurvedic and essential oils into your skin resulting in smoother and softer skin all over.

To exfoliate we use either a Dead Sea or evaporated sea salt with a blend of various Ayurvedic oils that might include almond, grapeseed, apricot kernel, safflower, sunflower or avocado oil, Vitamin E and essential oils like lavender, peppermint, rosemary, vanilla, tangerine, cedar sage or eucalyptus. We bring in different scrubs based on the season and their cooling or warming effect. In and of themselves, salt scrubs blended with the Ayurvedic oils help to release toxins and this is intensified by the steam infusion. Our steam bed typically feels warm and comfortable as you lie on your back with your head out of the capsule.

Another exfoliation treatment is blended with Organic Brown Sugar (70%) and with the Ayurvedic Oils contains natural fatty acids that leave you with healthy and visibly radiant skin. The natural alpha-hydroxy-acids found in brown sugar help feed the skin’s surface and create greater elasticity, locks in moisture and firms up the texture of the skin while detoxifying in the steam. The essential oils in these blends are french vanilla latte with french roast coffee and vanilla extract, chocolate peppermint, mango ginger, cranberry, vanilla orange, desert blossom and rest and relax with kava kava, valerian and lavender.

Both the Sugar and Salt Scrubs are available in our Bella Boutique for you to extend your treatment and use at home!

Take your detoxification and exfoliation a little further with our extended body treatments using marine blue algae, volcanic clay, lactic clay or lactic clay with herbs. In these treatments we exfoliate and rinse first using a sugar or salt scrub, then apply the body treatment and then steam for 20 minutes. You will feel great! To read more about these treatments visit our website! Or go directly to our online booking.

Whether you want to detox, enrich or simply exfoliate and smooth, we have the right body treatment for you! Check out packages online to reap additional savings with spa packages!

Therapeutic Massage Modalities

At Bella Fontana Spa we offer a variety of massage modalities.

One of the most popular is our therapeutic massage especially suited for those that like a Swedish Massage with a therapeutic emphasis. By adding triggerpoint, myofascial or another massage modality to the relaxation of a Swedish Massage an effective treatment can be customized for the guest. This massage will be 70 or 80% Swedish Massage and 20 to 30% mixed modality effectively combining relaxation with the therapeutic work needed most.

We offer a therapeutic massage in 30, 45, 60 and 90 minute sessions. Begin with a consultation with the Licensed Massage Therapist that will allow them to focus on the areas that need attention. Full body massages must be at least 60 minutes in length and please do tell the therapist that you want all the areas of the body addressed. In a 60 minute full body massage, this will only allow 5-7 minutes additional attention to an area of concern, but different modalities may be used during the entire massage to treat any constrictions, knots or tension found.

Some definitions for Trigger point myotherapy and Deep Tissue Massage from MassageTherapy.com:

Trigger point myotherapy is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for the relief and control of myofascial pain and dysfunction. The goal of treatment is the client’s recovery from or a significant reduction in myofascial pain. The treatment goal is achieved through a systematized approach. Treatment consists of trigger point compression, myomassage, passive stretching, and a regime of corrective exercises. Success may be measured subjectively by the level of pain reduction experienced by the client and objectively through increased range of motion, strength, endurance, and other measures of improved function. Trigger point myotherapy relies heavily on client-therapist interaction, including verbal and nonverbal elements.

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.

These are just some of the techniques that may be used by the massage therapist in performing a Therapeutic Massage. For massages using a specialized technique for the majority of the massage session please book one of those massage session options. You can book online by clicking here.
