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 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.

The bride-to-be will continue with eyebrow shaping, and a trial hair style including veil placement and trial makeup application.** Approximately 3.25 hours.

Prior to the wedding, relax with a full body massage followed by a basic spa manicure. Jamie’s will complete the look with wedding hairstyle and makeup. Includes complimentary tube of lip color. Approximately three hours.

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.

Weight loss made easy

2010-01-29T20:51:00.000-08:00

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.

Spa BOOT CAMP is designed to encourage personal improvement and goal achievement in a supportive and encouraging group setting.

"I want women and men everywhere to realize just how simple weight loss can be," Rhone added. "They can start with these three tips and they'll be well on their way."

Weight Loss Tip #1:

Avoid soft drinks, juices and other drinks loaded with sugar. These types of drinks are very high in calories. A twelve-ounce soda contains 150 calories of almost all sugar.

Weight Loss Tip #2:

Eat 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. They will help you meet your micronutrient needs for the day. And since they are a good source of fiber, they will help you curb your appetite and control hunger.

Weight Loss Tip #3:

Record what you eat and drink. You will be amazed at what you consume over the course of the day without ever realizing it. Keeping a food journal is critical to your success because it gives you the true picture of what you are eating each day. You may also use http://www.MyFoodDiary.com to help you keep an online food journal.

Follow these quick weight loss tips and you are sure to feel good and look fabulous in your bathing suit next summer

Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day spa offers Pumpkin Spice Treatments in Palestine Tx

2009-10-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

Published: October 24, 2009 11:42 pm

Pumpkin treatments available at local spa

It’s pumpkin season. There’s jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin pies, pumpkin breads, pumpkin soups, pumpkin bars — and in Palestine, pumpkin treatments galore.

Now pumpkins have expanded from their usual festivals and dinner tables into beauty counters and spa stores.

And it isn't just about marketing strategy either, because pumpkins can actually benefit the skin, especially as an exfoliator. Pumpkin promotes good health and wellness through sustenance and scent, but it also provides numerous benefits when applied to the skin. Pumpkin is “one of the richest sources of alpha carotene for a skin plumping effect on collagen.”

At Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day Spa, the spa has introduced new arrangement of Pumpkin Spice treatments: Pumpkin Pie Anti Aging Facial, The pumpkin pie foot Pampering Treatment, Pumpkin facial and body peel, Pumpkin Spice Body weight loss wrap, Pumpkin Spice Body Glow, Pumpkin Spice Bath Soak, Pumpkin Honey Mask, Pumpkin Spice Whipped Body Butter, a pumpkin pedicure and a pumpkin manicure — to repair and prep skin for the harsh winter season ahead.

"A pumpkin peel is really good to do at the end of the winter, because it will slough off all the dead skin and get your skin ready for the spring," said Jamie Rhone, owner /esthetician /massage therapist at Jamie's Therapeutic Touch day spa.

Other benefits include softening, tightening, hydrating, and cleansing the skin, Rhone said.

To celebrate autumn, Rhone recommend a pumpkin-based spa treatment to promote the healthy glow in your skin. Pumpkin is rich in plant enzymes which act as a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead skin cells. Pumpkin's rich carotenoid antioxidants neutralize free radicals, attacking the molecules that are responsible for premature aging. The ultimate benefit of a pumpkin spa treatment is to repair dull, sun damaged skin and to re-nourish it with vitamins and minerals leaving the skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Pumpkin glycolic peels, for instance, smooth the skin, refine pores, eliminate hyper pigmentation and prepare the skin for both moisturizers and makeup. Full body exfoliation in the form of a sugar or salt scrub is an excellent preparation for winter faux tanning.

Free Massages, and facials

2009-08-09T17:02:00.000-07:00

Jamie's gives back with free massages and facials for national relaxation day.

August 15th is NATIONAL RELAXATION DAY,(called National Slacker Day in England). This holiday was started in the U.K. in 2001. It is a national effort to get people to realize they need to stop and smell the roses. Take a break from our hectic lifestyles with relaxing and de-stressing massage and facials. Learn that life is not worth living, if we are slowly killing ourselves everyday. This day is dedicated 24 hours to enjoy much-needed "R & R." Come celebrate National Relaxation Day on August 15 with Jamie's Therapeutic Touch and Treat Yourself to free chair massages, mini facials, make-up and skin consultations on us from 9-12! This is our way of saying thank you for an amazing 5 years in business.

As summer starts to wind down and the "Back to School" madness begins, give yourself one last day to relax and enjoy the warmth of the summer sun. In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, we all tend to forget that we need to stop and just REEELLLLAAAXXX. Everyone deserves a special day during the year for total relaxation. Since August 15th is National Relaxation Day, it is the perfect day to schedule a relaxing massage or facial with a licensed, therapist. Like most Americans, you probably know that a massage therapy session or a facial feels good and can help you relax from a hectic day or ongoing life stresses. Did you know that there are also different types of massage therapy and facials for various health conditions and situations? Massage therapy can improve your quality of life and fit your lifestyle. While massage therapy relaxes you from the daily grind, it can also be effective for a variety of conditions such as recovery from a sports injury or prevention of an injury. Massage has also been shown to be helpful in soothing chronic back pain by reducing muscle tension and spasms. It can be useful in easing headache pain by targeting and releasing pressure points. In addition, getting a massage on a regular basis can aid in the body’s ability to manage those stresses in a healthier way. Massage doesn't just feel good, according to Rhone, Research shows that massage can reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, relaxes muscles, increases blood circulation, increases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers and improve range of motion.

Facts about stress …

People who go for a single deep-tissue massage reduce their blood pressure by seven points. Over time, lowered blood pressure can add six years to your life. (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine)
By 2020, the top five diseases will all have the underlying contributing factor of stress. (World Health Organization)
“Therapeutic massage helps people feel less anxious and stressed, relaxed yet more alert,” adds Rhone who has recently celebrated their 5th anniversary for Jamie's Therapeutic Touch full service day spa.

“Taking good care of our bodies with massage and spa services helps to reduce pain or stress and overall health and well-being can improve,” says Rhone. “We cannot totally eliminate stress in our clients’ lives, but we can teach our clients about their bodies so they can better handle the stresses that comes with everyday life.”

Permanent Makeup Cosmetics is No Longer for Celebrities only!

2009-08-06T19:38:00.000-07:00

New Service : Permanent Makeup Cosmetics is No Longer for Celebrities only!

Jamie's Therapeutic Touch would like to welcome Jolonda Freeman Permanent Cosmetics to our full service day spa and medi spa. Jolonda has been doing permamnet makeup for five years, and is a Certified Intradermal Cosmetic Technician. Freeman is currently living in Dallas Texas, and driving in to perform Permanent Makeup at Jamie's.

The role of today's typical woman is very demanding; she wants a career, family, a home, and she wants to look great throughout her average sixteen hour day. "With permanent cosmetics, this is no longer a fantasy, and no longer for celebrities only," says Jolonda . Jolonda Freeman, a licensed permanent makeup technician at Jamie's Therapeutic Touch, says there are many reasons a woman should love her "NEW" look without make-up. Everyone should consider getting their eyebrows, lips or eyelids done. “It’s so convenient for people who have hectic lifestyles and just don’t have the time to spare each morning,” she said. Permanent makeup is also ideal for women with allergies to makeup, or for those who might suffer from poor vision or an unsteady hand. We even shock ourselves some mornings when we get up... completely without make-up and looking most of the time like we have been whisked through a time machine looking like someone we don't even know... now there is an answer for the very basic make-up that we need in order to look great... it's, believe it or not, permanent make-up done to a minimum, just to give us that fresh look. Most importantly, we need to make ourselves blossom by taking care of our health and looks and by maintaining a youthful and positive attitude. This may be the time to think about having your eyebrows put on in permanent, artful strokes to simulate the hair that didn't come back after many years of tweezing or to permanently enhance the eye lashes or maybe the lip color has faded. It's time to consider permanent lip liner or full lips - imagine not having to wear lipstick and still having the lush lips of youth. The process of permanent makeup is perfectly safe and looks very natural. The process, known as micro-pigmentation, dates back to the start of the 20th century and became popular in the 1930s. In the last few decades, inks that contained iron-oxides were replaced with all-organic pigments, which prevent the discoloration and fading that made the procedure less-desirable in the past. Freeman has worked on women ages 16 to 80, who chose permanent makeup for reasons of both convenience and necessity, she said. “I love what I’m doing because it helps people look and feel better about themselves.” The majority of women who have permanent cosmetics love it. There is a wonderful freedom waking up in the morning looking as good as you did the night before. Active women can be free of worry about their makeup smudging. Women with unsteady hands or allergies can have makeup is without the problems associated with applying it day after day. Do your research, and enjoy the benefits. Discover what many thousands of women already know - Permanent Makeup makes them look so natural! Not all clients are women. Many of the clients are men , as permanent cosmetics may offer some flattering applications for a man as well. For example: lash enhancement, which denses the lashes, adds color and depth to eyes; brow enhancement, which makes the brows stronger and more prominent, and can change the shape of the entire face and expression. Particularly for the very blonde man, a taupe pigment is implanted between the lashes and between the brows creating a greater depth and definition of features. Although models and movie stars can comfortably add eyebrow powder and eyeliner when needed, the average man doesn’t have the skill, time, or inclination. Permanent makeup is an inexpensive technique for enhancing the appearance of the upper third of the face. Eyebrows affect the angles of the face and the eye appearance. Eyebrows can “lift” a sleepy eye or bring down a high forehead. Eyebrows can move the observer’s eye from a balding pate to a soulful expression. Eyebrows help locate the eye for that meaningful eye-to-eye glance.

The study and use of essential oils has recently taken on a new dimension.

THE RAINDROP TECHNIQUE was developed as a result of intense research which indicated that many forms of back problems developed as a result of muscular tension toxin build up, bacterial and viral problems lying dormant in the spine.

Raindrop therapy uses a sequence of eight blends of highly anti microbial essential oils which are dropped gently onto the spine and lightly massaged in, using various hand to body techniques. Towels are used to complete each application in order to encourage penetration of the oils.

. Raindrop therapy has been known to help with scoliosis and other misalignments of the spine.

New Treatment

New treatment comes to Palestine

7-3-05
By MARY RAINWATER
H-P Staff Writer

Jamie Pettiette Rhone, owner of Jamie's Therapeutic Touch in Palestine, makes it a goal to offer the latest most innovative spa and or health treatments available to her clients. She continues that practice by bringing ever-popular Ionithermie treatments to her day spa - one that has been featured in many popular women's magazines and is the only treatment of its kind available in East Texas. Rhone was introduced to the electrode-clay cellulite reducing therapy treatment while on a recent cruise. "I liked Ionithermie so much I decided to purchase the treatment for Therapeutic Touch," she said.

Ionithermie began in France in 1979 and only in the past several years has made its way into the United States. The treatment is considered one of the most effective non-invasive ways to reduce the appearance of cellulite and toning of the skin.

The treatment uses electrical stimuli, thermal clay and algae to boost metabolism and tone muscles. To begin the treatment, the therapist measures in five different places marking the areas so they can be measured and compared afterwards. Lying on the therapy bed, the recipient is covered with gauze cloths and then the clay and algae mix are applied to the focal areas. "We can target certain areas of the body or treat the entire body," Rhone said. "There are three different kinds of facial treatments we can do." Electrodes are then placed in specific areas of the body and stimuli are activated that propel the active ingredients into the skin and tone the muscles. "It is like doing 300 sit ups in 30 minutes," Rhone said. At the conclusion of the treatment, clay and electrodes are removed and the person is re-measured to determine inch loss.

The benefits of the treatment are numerous. Besides reducing cellulite and toning muscle, the treatment detoxifies the body and boosts the metabolism. It also improves circulation, aids in fluid retention and waste removal, improves skin hydration and elasticity, relieves muscles aches and pains and generates an overall feeling of well-being.

"It is a good way to kick start a weight loss and exercise program," Rhone said. "It makes you feel good about yourself." Results of the treatment are permanent and continue for up to 48 hours after the treatment, but must be maintained by drinking lots of water and keeping a healthy diet and exercise regimen. "From five to up to 20 treatments are recommended, depending on individual needs," Rhone said. Palestine's Jodi Tolar, a regular recipient of Ionithermie, has lost more than 10 inches using the treatment. "It feels like I am tightening my muscles on a leg press, plus squats and lunges all in one," Tolar said. "It's like getting a great workout without doing anything." "One of the things I like the most is that I see immediate results," she added. "Not only can I feel the difference, I can see it as well."

There are certain individuals who should not receive Ionithermie treatments, including: women with suspected or confirmed pregnancy, women who have been nursing for less than 12 weeks, those with metal pins and plates, those with pacemakers or heart conditions, those who have had major surgery in the last three months, those with epilepsy, thrombosis, kidney or liver disorders, those with IUD coils or those who have been diagnosed with cancer. "This is a treatment that benefits everyone - male or female, old or young, thin or overweight," Rhone said. "It reaches the cellular level and is a non-invasive and non surgical way to be healthy."

Expanding business
Jamie's Therapeutic Touch now offering day spa activitiesBy MARY RAINWATERThe Palestine Herald
Palestine — When she opened Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch two years ago, local aesthetician Jamie Pettiette-Rhone had already set a goal of expanding her business to become Palestine’s first day spa.Her dream was made a reality in January of this year when Rhone relocated her business from its former Mallard Street spot to its new location at 720 W. Palestine Ave, and now to 1730 Crockett Rd. It has been my goal since I opened to have a day spa here in Palestine,” Rhone said. “I wanted to provide people with a quiet, stress-free environment where they could relax and feel pampered.”She also added to her new location four new employees, each with a different skill to contribute to the day spa — a cosmetologist, a nail technician, and two massage therapists.Palestine native Rockee Hamilton has joined Jamie’s Therapeutic touch as a nail technician. She will be providing manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails and fabric wraps for customers.“This is the only place in town that is a full-service day spa and I wanted to be part of it,” Hamilton said. “So far it has been fun — there are many good people here.”Recent Trinity Valley Community College Cosmetology School graduate Christine Pennington serves as the business’ hair stylist, providing haircuts, styling, color and any other desired hair treatment.“I have had a really great experience here so far,” Pennington said. “I think it will be very convenient for clients to offer all of these services in one location.”Dianne Gutierrez is one of two massage therapists that joined Rhone at her new location in January. She specializes in Jin Shin massage, a Japanese art that uses accupressure to induce relaxation and bring balance to all parts of the body.“I received training at traveling workshops held in Hawaii, California, Europe and Colorado,” Gutierrez said. “I have been working in Dallas for 18 years before coming to Palestine to care for my dad.“I have really enjoyed working here so far and hope to be able to help others by sharing Jin Shin with them,” she added. “It is an ancient Japanese art that was passed down by word of mouth and helps the body heal itself.”In addition to standard Swedish massages, Cheryl James provides several services to customers that visit Jamie’s. A licensed massage therapist, she offers oriental footbaths, paraffin wax and ear candles.“I work a lot with the essential oils, which help with relaxation and issues such as headaches and congestion,” she said. “The benefits of massage are endless — it lowers blood pressure and detoxifies the body.“It is a lot of fun being here at Jamie’s,” James added. “There is a really good atmosphere with and lots of good energy in the group (Rhone) has put together here.”Rhone provides facials, skin treatments, Ionithermie, body wraps and waxing. She offers day spa packages for wedding parties, couples and those who just want to get together with friends and has accommodations for those who wish to stay overnight.“There is no where else around here to get pampered,” Rhone said. “I just wanted to create a great place for people to relax, get away and experience healing — body, mind and soul.”Rhone is celebrating her business’ relocation and expansion with a grand opening and open house event from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.“Everyone is invited to come out, meet the new employees and tour the facilities,” Rhone said. “I will have reps from Glominerals and Dermalogica here to do makeovers and skin scanning.”Refreshments, an abundance of giveaways and free face mapping also will take place at the event as well as a live remote by KYYK radio station.

Jamies’ Therapeutic Touch Spa in Palestine TX

Day spa continues growth with move to new location
Starting out in 2004 as a “one-woman” operation in an old 8×12 file room, Palestine native Jamie Pettiette-Rhone began achieving her dream of bringing a state-of-the-art day spa to her home town.
Just one year later, Rhone expanded Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch for the first time to include an additional room and a secretary. After another 18 months, she purchased a building on Palestine Avenue — adding two massage therapists, a nail tech and hair dressers.
And now, just three years after her last expansion, Rhone has upgraded again to a 2,000-square-foot building on Crockett Road that includes eight treatment rooms housing six massage therapists, three estheticians (skin care therapists) and two nail technicians.
“I started with nothing and I feel like we have almost everything now,” Rhone said in a recent interview. “When I started, I didn’t have any clients and didn’t know if I make it or not, but I jumped in it with both feet forward and have never looked back.
“I can’t believe that was almost five years ago — time has flown by so fast, and I love every minute of it.”
Along with the growth of her facilities and staff, the services offered at Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch also have expanded profoundly since opening.
“When I first started I just did a basic facial, microdermabrasion and weight loss body wraps,” she said. “Now we offer a variety of facials, peels, wraps and massages and provide treatments like Lamprobe, AquaDetox and Ionithermie.”
Permanent make-up, manicures and pedicures, spray-tanning and product lines such as Dermalogica (skin care), Jane-Iredale (make-up) and Tahitian Noni are also offered at Jamie’s.
“We are always looking for the next greatest and best thing to offer our clients,” Rhone said. “All of our therapists are licensed in their fields and we encourage continued education.
“We are always attending trade shows, and seminars to be able to stay on top of the ever changing market.”
With their expanded facility, the local day spa is now better able to accommodate small groups for parties, ‘girls night out’ events, children’s birthday spa parties and bridal parties for the bride and her whole bridal party.
“We can get the bride’s face and body ready for her big day to make it less stressful,” Rhone said. “We offer couples treatments and spa packages that range from two hours to eight hours at the spa with lunch and champagne provided.”
Rhone’s plans for growing her business are not quite complete, she said, as an expansion to her new building is already in the works.
“Right now our five hair dressers are still operating at the Palestine Avenue location,” she said. “We will be adding space for the hair dressers and another treatment room as well.”
Rhone cannot take all the credit for her success, though. Without her loyal and always-growing customer base, none of the dreams she has achieved for the spa would have been possible, she said.
“We have a wonderful client base that we are blessed to have as our clients and friends,” she said. “Some of my clients have been with me the whole five years in business, which I thank God for everyday.
“Palestine has everything to offer that the bigger towns have, and we strive to always bring them the best service possible,” she added. “I just want to give back what God has blessed me with.”
Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch, is holding a holiday open house Dec. 12 and 13. The public is invited to tour the spa, meet Rhone and her staff and enjoy a selection of desserts, champagne and coffee.
“Dermalogica educators will be available to answer questions and we will offer microzone and skinbar treatments,” Rhone said. “A Jane-Iredale make-up artist will be demonstrating the latest looks; and we also will offer hand and arm massage.”
Therapists at Jamie’s include: Kathy Klauser, licensed medical massage therapist; Christine Pennington, nail technician and licensed massage therapist; Monika Comancho, licensed massage therapist; Amy Gordon, esthetician; Diane Wakeland, esthetician; Jolonda Freeman, permanent make-up artist;
