The Great Escape: Origins of Wellness

You finally have some time to yourself. Notice that you might have a little extra money in your budget. Why not indulge in a spa!

Take some time and enjoy a new place like Origin of Wellness.

Origins of Wellness is the first therapeutic service provider of its kind in Greendale. Based on the premise that healing from pain that is physical or emotional comes from within, Origins of Wellness provides a spectrum of services, training and products to increase the general wellness of clients.

The spa center has an intrinsically calming effect, experienced by all those who cross its threshold. Clients instantly feel the safeness and positive energy of the facility, which is the first step to the cleansing services offered by the center.

"We are passionate about wellness," explains Angela Howard, the owner. "Here at Origins, we have combined the science of nutrition with the experience of an esthetician. The anti-aging movement is not just about beauty on the outside. We have to address the internal factors as well like diet, nutrition and lifestyle. Origins allows clients to not only primp and pamper themselves, but also truly improve their health from the inside out."

With seasoned experts in a large array of healing practices, Origins is able to offer facial treatments including peels and anti-aging exfoliations. The age and gender are not discriminating factors for the facials. There are procedures specifically designed for men as well as teens through the age of 19 that specialize in the assistance of problematic skin.

Origins is also referred to by health care professionals for their massage services. The center offers 7 different types of massage for relaxation and therapeutic purposes. The massage therapists are trained in pregnancy massage dedicated to nurturing mothers to be.

The list of wellness and detoxification therapies provided by Origins is what sets this spa apart from others in the neighborhood. Including ancient and modern healing practices, Origins affords guests the opportunity to experience reiki energy work, reflexology, and iridology.

"One of the tools we use to successfully create a nutritional regiment and program for clients is iridology," Howard said.  "Iridology is the study of one's iris to determine a variety of predispositions, health conditions, genetic influences and overall blue print of a person's health. With that information we can accurately plan with clients how they can adjust their diet and lifestyle for natural wellness."

Along with the vast gamut of services, Origins also houses a spectrum of FDA approved products that will improve a range of health issues like premenstrual symptom, acne, digestion issues. "We are well trained and versed in all of the products we offer," furthered Howard. "Any questions that may arise, we are more than willing to answer. Natural health is our passion and we offer the least invasive health modalities that give people the best results."

Services are provided Monday through Saturday and appointments should be made in advance. Gift certificates for all the services can be purchased online through the website www.originsofwellness.com.
