Spa Membership Has Its Privileges
W
ith its membership-based busi- ness model, Massage Envy Spa
operates a little differently than other spas. Christine Helms, who owns the Massage Envy Spa at Frazier-Northshore in Chattanooga, says the goal is to make the spa’s services affordable and convenient so that members can make them a regular part of their health regimen. There are more than 900 Massage Envy Spa franchises
nationwide, all offering easy access to massages, spa facials and Murad products. Members receive a customized mas- sage every month, or a Murad Healthy Skin facial for $10 more; additional massages and facials at a reduced rate; un- used massage “rollover”; the chance to earn free massages and upgrades; family add-on specials; retail discounts; and corporate discount memberships for caregivers, including members of the military, police, firefighters, EMTs, hospital employees and teachers. Members can also treat friends to a Massage Envy Spa “Be Our Guest” pass for a one-hour massage session at an introductory rate. “Membership does have its privileges, and the biggest
one that comes from membership at Massage Envy Spa is an increased sense of well-being and relaxation,” Helms says.

Shut Your Mouth, Save Your Life
I
n 1870, George Catlin wrote a book called Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life, which explains the Native
American theory that “overbreathing” and snoring through the mouth cause many health problems, including loss of teeth. In 1952, Ukrainian doctor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, operating on the same theory, identified more than 200 conditions that he felt were caused by dysfunctional breathing. Buteyko taught his patients a breathing technique as a natural way to lower their blood pressure and help them manage their chronic illnesses. Known as “Buteyko Breathing,” the technique has been used for decades in Europe, Australia, Russia and North America, and it is now being taught in Chattanooga. Four Seasons Wellness, located at 6237 Vance Road
#4, Chattanooga (behind Nutrition World), will host a free Introduction to Buteyko Breathing class July 8 at 6:30 p.m.
