Nick against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Richel D'Ambra Spa & Salon — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:26:24 +0000

Let’s help our friend, Nick, cover his medical bills!

We have started a fundraiser for our friend, Nicholas J. Taylor, as he begins his battle with stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer.

Charismatic and professional Nick greeted the guests at Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon and worked as assistant to Richel on a daily basis.
He is 32 years old and has not been able to work since his diagnosis in November 2012. He is a friend, son, nephew, uncle, brother, coworker, and overall wonderful person inside and out. Prayers and donations are needed to help Nick overcome this horrible illness. Please help with whatever you can to cover his medical bills as he starts his journey to health. Everyone who knows Nick has been touched by his generous spirit.

Let’s inspire him as he has inspired us!

Please visit our fundraising page at GoFundMe to contribute.

We will also be holding a dinner and auction at the Richel D’Ambra Spa & Salon to help raise funds. Details to follow.

Thank you!

Massage Facts

James Roslon — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:45:29 +0000

Massage improves blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells, helping the body recover faster.

Massage can help reinforce healthy and natural movements, which can help correct tension-causing poor posture.

Massage is not just a blissful, self-indulgent luxury. Regular massages are an important component for physical and mental well-being.

Massage has significant psychological, physiological, and biomechanical effects that enhance health.

Multiple studies have linked massage to better functioning of the immune system. Research has found that massage increases a person’s disease-fighting white blood cells.

Massage is not just relaxing, it can also soothe anxiety and depression, as well as reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

One hour of massage equates to 7-8 hours of sleep for the body.

Experts estimate that stress is responsible for 80-90% of disease.

There are approximately 5 million touch receptors in our skin–3000 in a finger tip.

Touch is the first sense to develop in humans, and may be the last to fade.

Fight the Cold and Flu

Massage is an excellent ally in your fight against the cold and flu season and has been clinically shown to improve your immune system. It will get you to a level of relaxation which helps you feel more rested and get a better night’s sleep. More rest also boosts your immunity.

Massage will also boost lymphatic drainage which can help relieve sinus pressure, congestion, stuffy nose, and body aches. Schedule a massage to keep yourself on the right track this season and keep colds and flu at bay.
