New Energy Medicine Technologies are Now Offered at Spa Experience, Siesta Key

After completing the Life Transformation program at Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, and experiencing firsthand the cutting-edge energy medicine offerings there, Connie Lewis is excited to bring Qrs and H-Wave healing therapies to Spa Experience Siesta Key. Lewis has created a new service that encompasses all her areas of expertise including trigger point therapy, Reiki, Cupping, CBD massage Hot stone Massage, Sports Massage, and now QRS and H-Wave therapies. Consultation and coaching time are included with your session.

Qrs is energy medicine that utilizes PEMF (pulsed electric magnetic therapy via a mat laser and ear and eye accessories. These noninvasive therapies are painless and ultra-relaxing and healing in nature. Some of the many benefits of the Qrs Mat and laser are improved and speedier recovery from physical tiredness and over-exertion. Qrs balances the body’s acupuncture points in 8 minutes leaving you feeling stress-free, energetic, and ready for whatever the day may bring. Qrs aids in healing muscle soreness and post-workout stress while healing the muscles joints and bones.

H-Wave is an FDA-approved medical device used to flush lymphatic fluid, increase circulation and eliminate pain and restore function. If the space around the cell is congested, the cells cannot uptake the oxygen and nutrition it needs resulting in pain sickness, disease, and premature aging. If the space around the cells is free of congestion and metabolic waste products, the cell can now uptake oxygen and nutrition resulting in less pain sickness, more energy better health, and slower aging physically and mentally.

Incorporating these technologies into her Spa treatments will be an incredible leap forward in assisting clients live a more painfree relaxed life.

Red tide lessens in severity

Continued from page 4

However, in late February, Turtle Beach spiked to 120 on that chart, reaching the “medium” level (101 to 1,000) that is synonymous with significant respiratory irritation among humans and a significant fish kill.

Mark Smith, the Sarasota County Commissioner who resides here and represents District 2 that includes the north half of the island, spoke at a March 7 commission meeting about the need to address the situation.

“In the tourist-centric areas of our county we’re going to have to find a way to go a little above and beyond because of the economic impact the red tide has on us,” said Smith, noting that residents of Siesta Key had been contacting him about dead fish removal “on a daily basis, even nightly.”

The county conducts mechanical raking on Siesta Key every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, regardless of conditions. Regarding fish kills and other marine debris, it conducts additional emergency clean-ups only when conditions meet a certain threshold. During the latest bout of red tide, the situation has yet to require such action.

The policy, put in place in 2013, includes these details:

• Officials must determine that – after two tide cycles – the volume of beach debris has accumulated to a point where the debris and dead fish from a two-mile continuous stretch of beach can fill one 5cubic-yard truck.

• Beaches eligible for county cleaning must be county-owned and open to the general public.

• Beaches not owned or controlled by the county may be eligible for cleaning below the mean high-water line when they’re close to county-owned beaches or beach access.

Paige Hartmann, who owns The Inn on Siesta Key along Beach Road and is one of the business owners who contacted Smith, is not pleased with the policy.

“It’s antiquated – it needs to be updated,” she said. “Sarasota County needs to be proactive rather than reactive on this.”

Hartmann said she did receive three cancelations, which hurts when you run a six-unit inn. She did manage to fill those vacancies, losing only a couple days of income, and emphasized her nice pool and the perfect February weather to interested parties.

“I even heated my pool an extra amount,” she said. “We made the most out of what we could, and so did the guests.

“But one complaint I kept hearing was about the dead fish on the beach. ‘Why is no one cleaning this up?’”

One day of a particularly high tide further illustrated the deficiency of the county policy, Hartmann said. It left many dead fish beyond the mean high-water line.

“Even if the county would have helped, they would have ignored them [because of that guideline],” she said.

With some guidance from the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce, Hartmann learned of a recent state executive order that allowed for the bypassing of a permit related to beach cleaning. She was able to provide some fish-removal on her own as a result.

“But it was only good through March 31,” she said. “Let’s hope we don’t more of this coming. But you know we probably will – we know it’s out there.”
