‘SELF-CARE’ HAS OFFICIALLY POSITIONED ITSELF AS A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE ZEITGEIST. Wellness industries across the U.S. are booming, and it seems that everywhere we turn—or tap, if scrolling social media—the experts are telling us that we should be finding ways to do more for ourselves.

The cultural climate that spurred the self-care revolution is popping with reasons to make a habit of pausing and doing something good for our wellbeing once in a while. Whatever your reason is, the movement’s message is clear: it’s ok to be good to yourself!

What I love about most self-care activities is that they don’t have to cost a dime—and for best results, maybe shouldn’t. If self-care is on your list of goals for 2019, take a look at this month’s piece about keeping your resolutions on page 20. We’ve compiled a guide that’ll help you long past January, and many of the local resources are free or low-cost. In this issue, Roaring Fork Lifestyle also peeks inside a new Glenwood

CITY SCENE

a dif ferent path AT 180° WELLNESS, CLIENTS DISCOVER NEW OPTIONS ON THE ROAD TO BETTER HEALTH

ARTICLE BRIDGET GREY PHOTOGRAPHY ESTATEPHOTOVIDEO.COM KIT MITCHELL

IN AN AGE WHEN TRADITIONAL OPTIONS FOR TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH CAN BE OVERWHELMING (AND COSTLY), MANY PEOPLE FIND THEMSELVES WANTING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. It’s no surprise that alternative treatments, holistic practices, and nontraditional pain relief therapies have gained serious momentum in recent years—particularly here in the valley, where health care costs are high and locals’ desire for complete mind-body wellness even higher.

“I believe there is a need for other options, so that people can focus on prevention for a healthier, happier lifestyle,” says Cathy Lee, co-owner of Midland Fitness and 180° Wellness in Glenwood Springs. “I think it’s smart to find what works for you, even if it’s a combination of mainstream medicine and alternative therapies, so that you can reduce the effects of any current illnesses and also prevent future ones.”

It is this belief that inspired Lee and her business partners Jennifer Harbottle and Steve Wells, who have owned and operated Midland Fitness since 2013, to venture into the wellness field. Last year, the team remodeled a 2,600-square-foot space 12

adjacent to the fitness center and in May 2018 celebrated the grand opening of 180° Wellness. The center now sees hundreds of clients per week for chiropractic work and many other services.

“Clients will often start with chiropractic, and then depending on what’s going on they’ll go through treatment with other services,” Lee says. “We see a very broad spectrum of people; some are clients of Midland Fitness, but others have come to us for other reasons.

Some are battling cancer or are in recovery, some have been injured, and others just want to reduce stress or keep from getting sick.”

180° Wellness offers the services of four doctors—two chiropractors, an orthopedist, and an osteopathic doctor—and Lee plans to add additional specialists later this year. The center’s menu of services is growing, but currently includes such treatments as traditional and hydro-massage, plantar fasciitis care, blood analysis, humidified oxygen therapy, nutrition counseling, corrective exercise training, plus other more progressive offerings such as IV cocktails, thermography, and ozone steam sauna therapy.

“The ozone steam sauna is huge in Europe,” Lee reports. “And here in Colorado, at this altitude, people can be so depleted in oxygen. What we do with this machine, which works like a steam room

tor can help restore depleted nutrients to the body.

“Clients in normal health can choose from three cocktails for immune support, detox, and hydration,” Lee says of the vitamin and mineral-infused fluid blends. “Our doctor can create specialized cocktails for others with specific concerns.”

For anyone who is curious to know more about what the center offers and how it could benefit their health, Lee extends an open invitation to visit.

“We welcome anyone to just stop by, talk with our staff, say hello to our doctors, and ask questions,” she says. “We truly believe that you are in control of your own wellness, and that there doesn’t have to be one traditional path in health care. Do your research, ask for referrals, find out about what we do. We hope that through education, we can empower our clients to feel comfortable in their options.”

Getting From 'Here to There' FINDING HEART IN HOME HEALTH CARE

PICTURE EVEN A MINOR ACCIDENT: PERHAPS YOUR BICYCLE SLIPS ON THE ICE. You’ve dislocated your elbow and broken your hand in the fall. You can still walk, drive an automatic car, and

wash the dishes? Who will walk the dog?

Losing your independence through the loss of skills you rely upon is physically and emotionally challenging. This is where home health care can step into help. Yet, who do you trust to come into your home, into your family, to take care of you? Will they have compassion and respect?

With decades in “the trenches” of healthcare, Heather Craven says she has shared clients’ most challenging and vulnerable moments.

“I saw the spectrum,” she says, point blank. “Some wonderful situations, unsafe situations. I saw the loneliness, the vulnerability. I saw the delayed care in the larger nursing homes because they were so big, so many residents. The family not able to be there, the pain, the guilt, you name it. Sometimes just the neglect.”

Through life experiences, Craven discovered she was meant to be a caregiver. She has had a lifelong, deep desire to provide genuine care.

Her son Devon was born with a heart defect. “We were quarantined.

Two years later my father died. Three years later, my husband had a massive stroke at the age of 39. Navigating a brain injury,” she sighs.

“I saw him in the hospital, completely vulnerable, not able to eat, to even verbally express himself. When they transferred him, I went to be with him for 10 days. He couldn’t even take notes. I remember this from Devon being in the hospital—being so ‘deer in the headlights.’ You’re absorbing one percent of what doctors are saying because you’re thinking, ‘my kid’s on a ventilator,’” Craven recalls.

In searching for care for her husband, she could not find the level of quality she herself gave. This inspired Craven to act on her dream: home health care rooted in grace, dignity, and respect.

“I have a personal stake in it. My mother is 76— today,” she says, lighting up at the realization during a recent interview.

And thus, Here to There Home Health Care (HTHHC) was born, to promote “optimal healing and companionship” for clients and their families, which is the same care she wants for her own family. Most importantly, she’s building her company with staff who are the kind of human beings you want to welcome into your home, caregivers who feel like a part of your family.

HTHHC implements a comprehensive training program for their certified nursing assistants and licensed caregivers. Whether it’s care techniques for clients with cognitive impairments, moving and transporting those with acute and chronic physical disabilities, or monitoring and enhancing the emotional state of clients, peace of mind and wellbeing are paramount.

Post-operative care in the first 72 hours after a hospital stay can be the most intense. HTHHC focuses on details so clients can rest and heal. Nutrition, socialization, and assistance with physical movement are all important—but so is the relationship, the trust, and care between client and caregiver.

“When that client reaches out to touch my arm, or puts their head on my shoulder, and laughs...when they know we’re safe, nurturing, that it’s going to be a good thing, that’s a genuine connection,” Craven says.

Companion care is equally important to her.

HTHHC caregivers honor the individual natures of their clients, recognizing the unique physical, mental, and emotional needs of each. They assist with household administration and the daily activities of life, including social schedules, appointments, errands, and shopping: the day-to-day rituals and routines that keep clients connected to the life they’ve created. Additional medical training endows caregivers with the skills necessary to recognize and understand the different stages of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia, and other age-related cognitive issues as they may arise.

“I see all of my mom’s friends that I grew up with; they’re getting older,” Craven, a valley native, says. “This is a beautiful, enriched population with so much to give and so much to share. ‘Warehousing’ people in need is not an option.”

In rising to meet life, Craven has achieved an elegant balance of grit and grace that she applies to what she loves: the business and privilege of being present for other human beings in times of need.

A big personality who loved helping others, Jim had offered his enthusiastic support of the services he'd received from Here to There Home Health Care over the past year.

"I worked with him from January to June 2018, and then periodically as needed after that," Craven recalls. "He was joyful; Jim had a big heart. We had a wonderful time together. Everything everyone said about him was true—he had a lovely, kindhearted soul."

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO KEEP WINTER SKIN MOISTURIZED?

GLENWOOD DERMATOLOGIST JULIA KREGER MD OFFERS TIPS TO SAVE YOUR SKIN FROM WINTER’S HARSH MONTHS

use, and using natural fragrance-free soaps. Adding a humidifier

Dr. Kreger: Harsh winter weather calls for extra protection.

When skin gets dry and itchy in the winter, switch your moisturizer to an oil-based cream (as opposed to water-based lotions).

These are more effective at replacing the moisture in our skin.

Maintaining our natural skin oils is also important. This can be achieved by reducing the frequency of bathing, limiting hot water to your home can help as well.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE PRODUCTS FOR A WINTER SKINCARE ROUTINE?

PHOTOGRAPHY THOMAS GREEN

Dr. Kreger: Just like my closet, my skincare routine undergoes a winter remodel every year. I use a combination of products that you can find at the drugstore and through your dermatologist. Make sure they contain some of the hydration-boosting superstars, including hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and alpha hydroxy acids. Some of my favorites include: + Body: Epionce Renewal Body Lotion, Elta MD Moisture-Rich

Body Cream, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream + Hands: Epionce Medical Barrier Cream (fragrance-free and

paraben-free), EltaMD So Silky Hand Cream, Cetaphil Intensive Moisturizing Cream + Lips: CeraVe Healing Ointment, Avene Cold Cream, and Jack

Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm (with SPF). + Face: Epionce Renewal Facial Cream and Obagi Hydrate Luxe

WHAT IS ONE SIMPLE STEP LOCALS CAN TAKE TO PROTECT SKIN EVERY DAY? Dr. Kreger: Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Even in the winter months, the Colorado sunshine is fierce. Be sure to choose a sunscreen with an SPF greater than 30 with broad-spectrum protection.

WHAT SPECIAL SERVICES DOES GLENWOOD DERMATOLOGY OFFER THIS SEASON? Dr. Kreger: Winter is a perfect time to correct hyperpigmentation, the cause of age spots and melasma. Cool weather and fewer hours of sunlight make this a great time for chemical peels, fraxel laser, and intense pulse light treatments to reverse these dark areas on the face, chest, and arms.
