The Secret is Out: The Spa at Gravity Offers Holistic Skincare in the Heart of Midtown
***
Offering Treatments For What Ails You;
Located In Award Winning Fitness Center
New York, NY --The spa at gravity, located within Le Parker Meridien’s wellness center gravity, offers treatments from invigorating aromatherapy to relaxing massage. Boasting midtown’s only certified Dr. Hauschka aesthetician, Kelley Wohlfarth; the spa looks to holistic therapy to treat the damage of harsh city living.
Located in gravity, a 15,000 square-foot full-service fitness center, the eight-month old spa at gravity is quickly gaining a strong following with people who are looking for solutions to their ailments. “The everyday wear and tear of New York City is more harsh then most realize,” said Wohlfarth. “In addition to the stress of this fast paced city, the dirt, exhaust and weather have a direct affect on the human body.”
Viewing the skin as a whole rather than as its manifested problems, the spa uses holistic skin therapy as opposed to chemical or synthetic treatments. The all-natural Dr. Hauschka products, dubbed the “Birkenstock of beauty,” are grown in Germany. Specifications require specialized handling, packaging and environment guidelines to ensure that each ingredients true essence is expressed in each product. Wohlfarth, who has been practicing for over 12 years and is one of only several Dr. Hauschka certified aestheticians in New York, applies the same rules to each client depending on whether they need warmth, stillness, etc., using a palette of organic and holistic Dr. Hauschka skin care preparations.
“We don’t do quick-fixes here,” said Wohlfarth. “We take into consideration each person’s health, lifestyle, diet and stress level, so that we can develop an effective long-term solution to the skin’s problems.”
Recently Ms. Wohlfarth was certified in the popular LaStone Therapy. The use of alternating hot and cold stones to trigger relaxation and stimulation to the body is a natural addition to the spa’s holistic treatment menu. The spa at gravity offers treatments including aromatherapy, facials, cleansing treatments, body wraps and scrubs. Soothing massage treatments include Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Reflexology and Trigger Point.
