Local spa offers chocolate services
PALESTINE — Local spa offers chocolate services
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and deciding on the perfect gift can be a daunting task.
Chocolate has been a traditional gift of love for centuries, and this year, Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch Day Spa has created a chocolate experience that takes the task out of choosing, while melting the heart and the stress away.
Chocolate is known for its antioxidant ingredients that nourish and hydrate, but beauty buffs everywhere also rave about its ability to hydrate and improve skin’s elasticity.
"Chocolate is such a great product to incorporate into spa treatments," spa owner Jamie Pettiette Rhone said. “It not only smells great, but it is very beneficial for your skin and won’t ruin your diet when used in this way.”
The “Chocolate Divine” experience begins with the chocolate mousse facial. Next, the chocolate mousse massage enhances circulation and balance the body.
Then, improve skin’s elasticity and hydration during the chocolate weight loss body wrap, which also replenishes with antioxidants and nutrients.
Next, be soothed from soul to sole with a chocolate pedicure and manicure served with a signature chocolate martini, and finish with a chocolate shampoo scalp treatment and style.
All packages come with lunch, gift, chocolates, flowers and lots of pampering.
Our Dermalogica representative Nicolas from Dallas, will also be doing skin scanning, and free face mapping from 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 14.
Valentine’s Day appointments are limited, so make your loved one’s appointment today.
The spa will have extended hours Saturday, Feb. 12 and Valentine’s Day, Monday, Feb. 14.
Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch’s hours are from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Special appointments are available on request.

Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day spa expands
By CHERIL VERNON
PALESTINE — A year after moving to a new location on Crockett Road, Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch day spa has doubled its space to almost 4,000-square feet, adding private rooms for nine hair stylists and nail techs.
“This is so exciting that we have come this far,” Rhone said. “Five and a half years ago we started in a 8x12 (square foot) file cabinet room. I have been so blessed, and just so happy we can give back to Palestine in a healing, healthy environment.”
The day spa now has four private massage rooms, five private hair styling rooms, facial rooms, sauna room, aqua detox room, spray tanning room and two manicure/pedicure areas.
To celebrate the expansion, Jamie’s Therapeutic Spa will host a Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5 p.m. Thursday. An open house and re-grand opening event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
“We are now a full-service day spa — you can literally spend eight hours here relaxing in your robe,” Rhone said. “You can get a facial, a massage, get your hair done, going from one treatment to the next.”
With special “spa food” brought in by JT’s Custom Catering, Rhone said customers don’t even have to worry about leaving the spa to eat.
“It’s a one-stop shop — you don’t have to go to the big city to get special treatments — it’s all right here,” Rhone said, noting they also offer specialized services including botox, permanent makeup and airbrushing.
In fact, Rhone’s newest treatment — Ashiatsu oriental bar therapy, a unique form of barefoot massage — is available at the spa, the only place currently in East Texas.
During this treatment, the therapist grips bars installed over the treatment table in order to balance themselves and use the pressure of their feet to massage with aromatic oil.
"It's much more effective for my clients to use my body weight and my foot, which is much larger than my hand, to apply just the right amount of pressure," Rhone said.
The therapists use wooden bars bolted into the ceiling or a portable apparatus with overhead bars to maneuver above their clients and to support a portion of their body weight as they vary the amount of pressure they apply with one foot, or sometimes both feet. That combination helps create "the longest stroke ever and the most luxurious massage on the planet," Rhone said.
“I have been wanting to take this class forever, so after 33 long hours I am now trained to perform this amazing treatment, and I am so excited. Through research, this massage modality is now a well-documented, effective, non-surgical technique for the treatment of chronic lower back and neck pain,” Rhone said.
The treatment is recognized as such by the American Massage Therapy Assocation, and approved by the Associated Massage & Bodywork Professionals and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork.
“We pride ourselves in taking the highest education possible and bringing new services and treatments each year to the spa. Our goal is to bring at least one new machine and two new treatments each year to the spa,” Rhone said. “Everyone at Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch day spa is passionate about what they do and we are constantly searching for innovative and result oriented treatments. I also just got back from training on air brush makeup, so that is very exciting to add to our extensive menu of services.”
Jamie’s can accommodate brides with their makeup needs and anyone else for special occasions such as for proms, ladies night out or even birthday parties for kids.
“We can do all-day bridals where we can do airbrush and their makeup,” Rhone said. “We also now have a photographer, Greg Laudadio, for bridal photo packages.”
For the kid birthday parties, parents can bring in their daughters for mini treatments just for kids.
“We will pamper them and teach them how to take care of their skin,” Rhone said.
A national registered personal trainer Monnie Giles also has been added to the staff at the spa. Giles will offer personal training and boot camp classes.
“We are now offering Spa Boot Camp three days a week. This will be a great addition to our weight loss packages and helping our clients reach their weight loss goals,” Rhone said. “We do the boot camp interval training at different locations — every week we change up the one-hour sessions. One week we met at Davey Dogwood Park, another time at the track. It’s challenging but it is for all fitness levels whether you are a beginner or someone who already works out several times a week.”
Giles also will lead a walking group to help motivate those who are interested in exercising.
Also in the works are “diva” dancing classes and yoga classes.
“We also added our infrared dry sauna to our many new treatments. The sauna burns 900 calories in 30 minutes, so beneficial to people with arthritis muscle spasms, pains, fibromyalgia and many other problems. We also bought another aqua detox machine to be able to accompany three people at the same time,” Rhone said.
Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch also offers numerous retail products that include face and body care, aromatherapy items, purses and jewelry.
“We will have the Chamber ribbon cutting on Thursday at 5 p.m. with Dan Manuel leading us in prayer, and we would love to invite the public to it,” Rhone said.
Saturday will be the open house and re-grand opening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with freebies for the public.
“We want to invite the public to come and meet our staff, receive free makeup makeovers, free face and body sugaring, mini facials, skin analysis, skin scanning and chair massage,” Rhone said. “Jolonda will be here doing permanent makeup and Dr. Isom will be here doing Botox.”
Reservations are needed for the botox and permanent makeup treatments.
A live remote with “The Breeze” 102.3 will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and with KYYK 98.3 from 2 to 4 p.m. with giveaways.
Refreshments for the open house will be provided by JT's Custom Catering and Ben E. Keith. Jeweler Mary Rainwater also will have a trunk show at the spa. Sponsors for the open house are Foster’s Security, Dogwood Junction, Dogwood Sales, Westmoreland Custom Designs and Printing, Joel's Decorating Center, Sanders Tires and Bouquets by Katie.

Skin Needling / Micro Needling
Skin needling or micro-needling is a form of collagen induction therapy which is intended to smooth wrinkles, improve depressed acne scarring as well as reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It is one the newest, easiest and most effective skin treatments available and is a process which can be carried out clinically or in the home. As the process gains awareness it is important to understand, what skin needling is, how it works and whether it is a suitable treatment for you.
Micro-Needling – Who is it for?
Micro-needling is a great choice for people who haven’t had success with any other type of treatment. Skin needling, also known as Facial Mesotherapy and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), involves using a handheld roller infused with multiple, fine-pointed needles on the skin’s surface. This handheld roller contains needles that are 1-3mm long and the pinpoint punctures created on the epidermis penetrate the very topmost layer of the dermis. This action activates the skin’s natural wound healing process by releasing fibroblasts and growth factors that create collagen and elastin. Skin needling was created by a South African plastic surgeon in 1997, who discovered that this procedure is a harmless and less invasive method of inducing the skin to create collagen and elastin. Since it’s discovery, skin needling has been used for treating sensitive areas that other skin resurfacing procedures may need to avoid, such as scars, vertical lines around the mouth, below the eyes, the neck, backs of hands and thighs. Skin needling has been found to give the same results as other resurfacing treatments, such as laser, chemical peeling and dermabrasion, but is considered less invasive than these three because the epidermis is left intact. Skin needling is also less likely to cause permanent damage, such as sun sensitivity, skin color loss or hyper pigmentation. A Esthetician or dermatologist performs skin needling and most patients require one session to achieve desired results. The skin taught and, with minimal pressure, passes the roller in short, back and forth motions (approximately 6-10 times front and back).
Skin needling can be performed on all skin types and colors, including sensitive skin. Results include thicker, tighter and smoother skin, increased blood flow to areas of poor healing, minimized appearance of scars (including acne) and fine lines and increased penetration of serums and moisturizers. Other results can include minimized stretch marks and hair loss. Skin needling can be repeated every 6-8 weeks as long as the epidermis is healed; however, collagen formation can continue for up to 12 months after one treatment. Per the direction of the therapist, patients also can incorporate the use of copper peptides or tretinoin (the acid form of vitamin A) to aid the resurfacing process.

Ayurvedic Relaxation Therapy (Shirodhara)
Shirodhara is one of the most healing therapies available. Shirodhara calms an overactive mind, soothes the nervous system, reduces stress, anxiety, fear, and mental exhaustion, improves sleep patterns and restores balance to body, mind and soul. This therapy synchronizes brain waves and enhances blood circulation to the brain.
A Shirodhara treatment is deeply relaxing. While reclined comfortably on a massage table and covered with a blanket, warm herbalized oil is applied in a gentle stream over the forehead between the brows (also called the third eye or sthaphani marma), and in a rhythmic pattern over the forehead. This invokes deep rest and release of tension. After the session, you will lay quietly for 10-15 minutes to allow for integration of the therapy. Then, the oil is gently wiped off. You will be provided with a bandana or fleece cap to wear to keep the head covered and warm. Allowing the herbalized oil to remain on the head for a couple of hours is very beneficial. After your session, allow yourself time for rest and self-reflection. The effects of this treatment are profoundly soothing. One must experience shirodhara to fully understand its benefits.

As the process gains awareness it is important to understand, what skin needling is, how it works and whether it is a suitable treatment for you.
Micro-Needling – Who is it for?
Micro-needling is a great choice for people who haven’t had success with any other type of treatment. Skin needling, also known as Facial Mesotherapy and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), involves using a handheld roller infused with multiple, fine-pointed needles on the skin’s surface. This handheld roller contains needles that are 1-3mm long and the pinpoint punctures created on the epidermis penetrate the very topmost layer of the dermis. This action activates the skin’s natural wound healing process by releasing fibroblasts and growth factors that create collagen and elastin. Skin needling was created by a South African plastic surgeon in 1997, who discovered that this procedure is a harmless and less invasive method of inducing the skin to create collagen and elastin. Since it’s discovery, skin needling has been used for treating sensitive areas that other skin resurfacing procedures may need to avoid, such as scars, vertical lines around the mouth, below the eyes, the neck, backs of hands and thighs. Skin needling has been found to give the same results as other resurfacing treatments, such as laser, chemical peeling and dermabrasion, but is considered less invasive than these three because the epidermis is left intact. Skin needling is also less likely to cause permanent damage, such as sun sensitivity, skin color loss or hyper pigmentation. A Esthetician or dermatologist performs skin needling and most patients require one session to achieve desired results. The skin taught and, with minimal pressure, passes the roller in short, back and forth motions (approximately 6-10 times front and back).
Skin needling can be performed on all skin types and colors, including sensitive skin. Results include thicker, tighter and smoother skin, increased blood flow to areas of poor healing, minimized appearance of scars (including acne) and fine lines and increased penetration of serums and moisturizers. Other results can include minimized stretch marks and hair loss. Skin needling can be repeated every 6-8 weeks as long as the epidermis is healed; however, collagen formation can continue for up to 12 months after one treatment. Per the direction of the therapist, patients also can incorporate the use of copper peptides or tretinoin (the acid form of vitamin A) to aid the resurfacing process.

Ayurvedic Relaxation Therapy (Shirodhara)
Shirodhara is one of the most healing therapies available. Shirodhara calms an overactive mind, soothes the nervous system, reduces stress, anxiety, fear, and mental exhaustion, improves sleep patterns and restores balance to body, mind and soul. This therapy synchronizes brain waves and enhances blood circulation to the brain.
A Shirodhara treatment is deeply relaxing. While reclined comfortably on a massage table and covered with a blanket, warm herbalized oil is applied in a gentle stream over the forehead between the brows (also called the third eye or sthaphani marma), and in a rhythmic pattern over the forehead. This invokes deep rest and release of tension. After the session, you will lay quietly for 10-15 minutes to allow for integration of the therapy. Then, the oil is gently wiped off. You will be provided with a bandana or fleece cap to wear to keep the head covered and warm. Allowing the herbalized oil to remain on the head for a couple of hours is very beneficial. After your session, allow yourself time for rest and self-reflection. The effects of this treatment are profoundly soothing. One must experience shirodhara to fully understand its benefits.

Weight loss made easy
2009 has came and gone, and Losing weight is probably the most common new year�s resolution people make at the end of each year. Weight loss is achievable is people just make small goals to be able to achieve their weight loss goals.�For example, "I want to lose 50 pounds" is not honestly achievable by any normal person, but perhaps 5 or 10 pounds would be a great monthly goal for you. Over all you may want to lose a total of 50 pounds, but breaking it up into mini-goals will help you stay on track and motivated. Focus on what you want, how you want to feel, what you want to experience, and imagine hearing these things, feeling these things, and being that new lighter person. Many weight loss professionals suggest staying positive and focusing on your goals. Write down your goals, and what habits you want to kick to the side. If you see it on paper, it will be easier to stay with the plan. Make�a food journal, and write down what you eat everyday. You may not realize how much junk you actually consume in a day. We need to add more fruits and vegetables to our daily diet, says Rhone. Write down every time you work out as well, I keep mine in my bathroom, so it is a daily reminder of how many calories I lost and how many times I worked out for the week, so by Sunday if I didn't make my goal, I can work out harder that day,� Jamie Rhone said.�Many weight loss experts suggest that adding regular exercise into your life helps enormously, because the more active you are, the more calories you burn. Muscle tissue requires calories, fat does not. Find a friend to help you with your weight loss goal. When you find a work out partner it makes it easier to stay with your work out routine, or join a group, like Spa boot camp at Jamie's Therapeutic Touch Day� Spa, where you can do walking classes, group boot camp, or have a personal trainer do one on one with you, or join the local YMCA with all the aerobic classes and weights you can use. You can also find a lot of different weight loss spa treatments like Tummy firming treatments to help you rid toxins and firm the belly, while losing up to 5 pounds, infrared dry sauna, where you burn 900 calories just sitting and relaxing for 30 minutes, weight loss body wraps, which pull toxins and waste from the body to help with unwanted inches and fat removal, or Ionithermie cellulite treatments, which are equivalent to do 300 crunches and 450 squats all in thirty minutes. It is also good to do twice a year a full body cleanse to really detox the liver of unwanted pollutants and waste that has accumulated in the past year. This helps in weight loss tremendously and helps the body kick start the weight loss regime, Rhone said. There are weight loss patches and pills, and drinks galore. The best thing is to write it all down, and determine your goals, find a friend to work out with you, and just stick to it.
