3/$99 Special Enhanced
Tailored Services To Meet Your Needs!
Have you been searching for something to improve your health and wellness? We want to introduce you to the tools and resources that may be the missing link. We have expanded our 3/$99 special to include: Nutrition Counseling, Hypnosis, and Acupuncture. Maybe you have been curious about these services but not sure how they work or if they can help. This is a great time to find out! Included in this special are three separate appointments--one, with with each provider. Don't worry, if you already purchased this special before, for Pilates or Yoga, you can re-purchase it now to experience Nutrition Counseling, Hypnosis, and Acupuncture. Each session is 30 minutes and you will be introduced to our talented therapists who are eager to help. Here's what you can expect:
Nutrition
As a part of our Newcomers Special, clients can select this thirty minute Nutrition
session with Jessica Wagner which will be tailored to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the client. The session includes a brief intake of the client's health concerns, goals, and dietary and lifestyle habits. The session also includes a short analysis of the client's primary health imbalances, a short assessment of specific habits that are causing the client's primary health imbalance, one customized nutritional and/or lifestyle recommendation to implement, and a handout and/or discussion that explains in detail how the holistic health and nutrition program works to help the client reach their goals.
Hypnosis For Change
Clients can select this thirty-minute Hypnosis session with Kendrick Weaver which will be tailored to individual needs. The session will include a brief consultation concerning the client's desired change. The Consulting Hypnotist will also provide an assessment of client's goals and suggest the best approaches to reach them. Each client will be offered an opportunity to experience hypnosis.
Acupuncture
 Clients can select a thirty minute introduction to Acupuncture session with
Trish Smith. The session includes check-in time to converse about specific health and wellness concerns (physical or emotional). Our acupuncturist will allow time to discuss more long-term goals with treatment recommendations. You'll get an idea of what Acupuncture is used for and receive your first mini-treatment.
Of course, you can select just one of these services and select Pilates or Yoga for your other two sessions. Mix it up, have fun!

Make up Process:
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE
A gentle reminder that if you plan to miss a GROUP class, please fill out a make up request form (located on the wall by the bathroom OR online) and leave it in the purple bin next to the Pilates room. You can now complete a ticket online as well. If you can provide us with 48 hours notice of a planned absence, we are likely to be able to offer you a make up class. If you plan to miss a PRIVATE lesson, we require 24 hours notice- -if you miss a lesson with less than 24 hours notice, you are entitled to make up your lesson with a GROUP class, or a session in our relaxation room. Make up classes only pertain to classes missed within the applied semester.
So, please help us with make ups and put them in writing, either online, or on our make up form in the back of the group area. |

Late Class Arrivals
We thank you for your support of our classes and for your recent survey feedback. We will be busy making changes to class formats and adjusting our services based on your comments. One issue that has been raised is the interruption of classes by late student arrivals.
We will strive to start our classes precisely on-time, and close the door to the lobby a few minutes past the start time. If you find the studio door locked, it will be because the class has already started. If you must enter a class late, please be so kind to take the mat closet to the entrance and come quietly to your mat.
