Sam Johansen, Owner

A Fresh Take on Hair

By Gabby Gregory

Asfun and relaxing as it can be to get your hair cut, colored, or styled, the experience can also be unnerving... and even a little intimidating. Change is hard, especially when you’re used to a certain style. Plus, if you’re going to a new salon for the rst time, you may be nervous about connecting with your hair stylist. What if they don’t understand your vision?

If you book an appointment with the friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable stylists at Elysian by MOD in the Hobe Sound Plaza, then you don’t have to deal with any of this anxiety and apprehension!

The owner of the hair salon, Sam Johansen, has fostered a fresh take on hair, i.e. a unique culture that’s entirely different from the status quo. “We really try to make it so that clients feel good and comfortable,” Sam states, adding, “I don’t want people to feel like they have to get dressed up to go get their hair done.”

5-STAR SPECIALTY HAIR SERVICES

At Elysian by MOD, you’ll nd incredibly talented stylists — Sam, Bella, Alison, and Kristen — who offer a wide range of premierquality hair services that are 5-star rated on Google. If you can dream it, then someone at Elysian by MOD can do it!

While each of the stylists at the salon is able to deliver anything that your heart desires, each one also has her own special forte. Sam specializes in creative

cuts and colors. Bella, the salon’s manager, specializes in blonding and hair extensions. Alison is Elysian by MOD’s color specialist, while Kristen excels at smoothing treatments. Even the Salon Coordinator, Joy, has a background in hair, so she will be happy to chat with you about any ideas you may have.

Just because the stylists at Elysian by MOD are skilled doesn’t mean that they act superior to others. Instead, the team is bubbly, down to earth, and, ultimately, focused on you. Sam explains, “It’s maintaining the image of a high-end salon with the feeling of a small family business.”

PREMIER PRODUCTS

Your health and safety is very important to the entire team at Elysian by MOD. For that reason, they exclusively utilize highquality organic, cruelty-free, and vegan hair products from brands like Maria Nila. “It’s a really toxic industry in terms of the amount of chemicals,” Sam explains, “so to minimize that as much as possible is de nitely bene cial.”

To make it easier to maintain your color and style, Elysian by MOD has these premier hair products for sale at the front of the salon. Sam con rms that the product lines are very userfriendly, so you can nally achieve that salon-quality blowout on your own!

ALL ABOUT YOU

With their years of expertise and experience, the stylists at Elysian by MOD are happy to guide you to nding the perfect cut and color. At the same time, they will always listen rst to what you want, as well as determine your needs. They ask all of the relevant questions to understand you and what will work best for both your style and routine. For example, if someone doesn’t want or have the time to do their hair every morning, then they would receive suggestions for lowmaintenance styles and colors.

Of course, the stylists want to earn your total and complete satisfaction, so they will go the extra mile to deliver the very best results. If something still doesn’t turn out how you envisioned, however, then it will be xed. “There’s always a way to solve the problem,” Sam assures, continuing, “They can come to me directly or to their stylist directly.”

I’m Mark Lindsay, and that was me on the Ed Sullivan Show. I sang every hit song for Paul Revere & the Raiders, including ‘Kicks,’ ‘Indian Reservation,’ and my solo ‘Arizona.’ My trademark was a ponytail and a teen idol smile. The ponytail’s been gone for awhile, but as a singer my smile is still super important. I recently visited Appearance Dental for an implant and crown procedure. The staff was courteous and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I was really impressed with their dental office and the dentist did an outstanding job. Appearance Dental transformed my smile, and I trust them to keep my smile looking revolutionarily good.” — Mark Lindsay Read all of our testimonials at AppearanceImplants.com

Every 5,000 miles, like clockwork, you take your car to get its oil changed and tires rotated. It’s basic, routine maintenance, but that consistent attention and upkeep is vital for your vehicle to run e ciently, especially over a number of years. Your body, much like your vehicle, requires regular care and treatment to keep it healthy. And, again like your automobile, your body needs support from someone other than yourself, a professional who can guide it to achieving its utmost abilities and to retaining its peak performance.

Getting older, playing sports, or having a condition like sciatica or arthritis shouldn’t hold you back from living your life! You can feel like your younger self again, the one who didn’t feel any aches or pains when walking, running, jumping, or even sitting… all you have to do is visit Stretch Zone.

Drew Brees, former quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, is the newest partner at Stretch Zone who advocates for people to regularly get stretched. A er personally going to Stretch Zone for an assisted stretching session, Drew was impressed with the uniquely e ective and nationally accredited Stretch Zone Method®, which is administered by a highly-trained and Stretch Zone-certi ed stretch practitioner.

Here’s How It Works:

1.) Your rst session begins with lling out an intake form and having a consultation with your experienced and knowledgeable stretch practitioner. Based on your medical background and your personal goals, the stretch practitioner will personalize the ensuing 30-minute assisted stretching session to meet your individual needs. On subsequent visits, you’ll simply do a check-in with the practitioner to update

your medical pro le with any recent changes and/or any new pain or discomfort that you might be experiencing.

2.) e stretch practitioner initiates the rst steps of the approved Stretch Zone Method®, utilizing Stretch Zone’s special patented straps to encourage your body to relax and ease into the stretches. You won’t nd these straps anywhere else! Comparable to a thunder jacket for your pets, they are meant to calm your mind so that your entire body is perfectly loose, thus allowing the stretch practitioner to stretch your body to its full potential and, as a result, provide you with both preventative maintenance and pain relief.

3.) Assisted stretching (a/k/a passive stretching) is di erent from physical therapy in that your body is being stretched by someone else, you’re not actually doing any work. roughout your 30-minute session, the stretch practitioner will be steadily interacting one-on-one with you, ensuring that you are completely comfortable and not experiencing any pain. Ultimately, you are in control of the stretch, even as your practitioner guides your body

through each and every step, because you tell the practitioner when you feel your best stretching position. e more you communicate, the better results you’re going to get!

Take advantage of Stretch Zone’s incredible New Year Special: get one FREE 30-minute stretching session! Anybody and everybody can and should be stretched. In fact, one Stretch Practitioner I spoke with at Stretch Zone says, “98% of the people I see in front of me really need to be stretched. is is something you should not live without.” Remember, it’s just like getting your oil changed! Plus, celebrities and professional athletes have been getting stretched for years, so it’s time for the general population to be clued into the secret!

Get Stretch Zone’s New Year Special for yourself or get them for a friend or loved one… what better way to say you care than to give the gi of making life easier, of feeling healthier, lighter, and younger, and of feeling like yourself again?

For What It’s Worth

Ithink I write this same type of column every Christmas, but I can’t help it. You know how the old adage goes, pick your battles, when it comes to your children. Well I’m going to do one better. Pick your battles at any other time of the year, except for the holidays. Children are self-centered little people who have little understanding or respect for your time or money. ey want everything, and they expect you to make sure they get it. is type of attitude gets on parents nerves, and understandably so, but they’re only being kids. ey are hard-wired to whine, demand, insist, and all of it without any concern about your problems. ey don’t care about the rising cost of food or gasoline. Now, any other time of the year I might encourage you to make rules and follow them, but I like to give kids a free pass at Christmas. A er all, they only have six or seven years to believe in Santa, if you’re lucky, and only until they have to go out and make a living before they understand that money doesn’t grow on trees. But now, these little innocent children imagine the fun they might have playing with every toy ever made, and there’s no end to their imagination. Should you go broke trying to keep the magic in

by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

Christmas? Of course not. But if they only have a few Christmases to remember when they look back on their childhood some day, then shouldn’t all of them be perfect?

I’m not saying break the bank. Magic isn’t only about toys under the tree. It’s about time spent together, building a gingerbread house, or baking cookies, loading them with sprinkles, and yes, giving them sugar, even if it’s only this one time of year. It’s about buying the tree, making hot chocolate, setting out food for the reindeer, and dressing the elves each night. It’s about staying up much later than you ever thought you could, to build bikes and playhouses, and falling into bed only to be awakened an hour later by eager children to see what Santa brought them. Mostly it’s about no arguing between you and your spouse. Let them sleep with sugar plums dancing in their heads.

Too much excitement, mixed with too much sugar is a recipe for disaster, but it’s only for one very special day, and don’t we owe it to our children to let them be kids, and to believe that miracles happen?

For What it’s Worth, I say, hold your temper, pray for patience, let the house be a mess, and let the kids whoop and holler all day long. Tomorrow comes soon enough, and rules can be enforced then. Try to remember what it was like when you were a kid who couldn’t fall asleep because you were too excited. If you were yelled at, I’m sorry for you, but don’t do that to your kids. If you were raised with parents as excited as you were, let yourself go back in time and be that child again. Your children will thank you for it. Holiday blessings from me to you. ank you for spending this year with me!

Put Your Best Foot Forward

With Dr. Orlando Cedeño at Abacoa Podiatry

The rst time Dr. Orlando Cedeño, DPM, FACFAS, saw a podiatrist was as an athlete in school. He didn’t realize it at the time, but he was getting a rst look into his future as a foot and ankle doctor and surgeon. It wasn’t until later on, when his mother was diagnosed with Diabetes, that Dr. Cedeño remembered podiatry. Diabetics have a “strong need” for diabetic limb salvage, a procedure often handled by podiatric surgeons. Suddenly, podiatry became personal.

So, with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry and a passion for people, Dr. Cedeño decided to earn his degree in Podiatry from Barry University. After graduating in 2006, he pursued his passion even further and completed a 3-year foot and ankle surgical residency followed by an international trauma fellowship in Switzerland. But he still wasn’t nished yet… next was Dr. Cedeño’s FACFAS certi cation.

The FACFAS title indicates that Dr. Cedeño is a fellow in the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. The certi cation requires an extensive amount of work and testing, as well as re-certi cation every 10 years. Not every podiatrist is a FACFAS! There is no requirement for doctors to pursue the certi cation, but Dr. Cedeño did because he wants to provide the best, most comprehensive experience for his patients. He is also board certi ed by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery.

Fast forward to today, and Dr. Cedeño is utilizing his expertise to help and heal people all over Palm Beach

County (and beyond!) at his practice, Abacoa Podiatry. Dr. Cedeño has a Jamaican and Dominican background and his wife is Jewish, so he felt South Florida was the perfect place to experience the amalgamation of these cultures.

Abacoa Podiatry is “more of a boutique practice” in that it is a smaller, private setting where you will truly get to know the doctors and staff members. The doctors really take their time, listening to everything you have to say and thoroughly examining your feet and ankles to diagnose your issue. Dr. Cedeño explains, “We have a family practice that’s old school. You’re not a number! We look at you as an individual and as a friend. That’s why we call our patients ‘friends of the practice.’” Even with surgical procedures, you can expect to see the doctors throughout the entire process, from beginning to end.

For Dr. Cedeño, it’s very important to understand and listen to patients. His goal is not only to nd a solution and relieve pain for patients, but also to make them feel comfortable and heard. He says, “Having that relationship with your doctor where you can express yourself, and where we can formulate what’s going on and what to expect… that’s something that patients really appreciate.”

Dr. Cedeño is also very focused on using the latest and greatest in technology at Abacoa Podiatry. For example, patients can take advantage of a modern regenerative treatment called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

By Gabby Gregory

Therapy. PRP Therapy involves using your own blood and plasma to inject into your wound or joint so that your body heals itself! Your plasma acts like a natural steroid, and Dr. Cedeño explains, “There’s nothing better than injecting your own body’s plasma.”

Abacoa Podiatry is also home to lasers that help with issues such as fungal nails, warts, and chronic pain. It may sound intimidating, but the laser does not hurt and treatment is completed in the of ce in less than an hour. By the end of your appointment, you can leave as normal… minus the pain and discomfort!

Victoria, a new patient at Abacoa Podiatry, recently underwent her rst cold laser treatment at the practice. She experiences random shooting pains in her feet that prevent her from wearing certain shoes. After the

Foot & Ankle Surgery

Dr. Cedeno uses the latest cutting-edge surgical methods to reliably produce excellent results from your foot or ankle surgery.

Wound Care

Our central goal is to heal your wound as quickly as possible. Rapid healing dramatically reduces your risk of infection, infection complications, and limb loss.

Shockwave Therapy

Abacoa Podiatry is one of the only centers in the country to offer both the revolutionary high-intensity and lowintensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST) for heal pain.

Laser Procedures

Depending upon the type of foot problem you may have, Abacoa Podiatry may recommend the use of one of our medical lasers to assist in the treatment process.

Bunion

We consider the extent of the bone changes in your foot, your activity level, your overall health, and other individual factors when formulating a bunion treatment approach. Usually, the rst-line treatment is nonsurgical care to relieve your bunion pain

treatment though, Victoria could already feel a difference! She says, “I didn’t feel any pain from the laser and Dr. Cedeño explained everything to me as he went through the process. I am de nitely coming back for another treatment!”

Abacoa Podiatry is your onestop shop for foot and ankle health! Dr. Cedeño’s FACFAS certi cation, combined with his years of education, fellowship, and experience, qualify him to help you with a wide range of foot/ankle issues, so you’re not going to be sent to multiple doctors’ of ces to nd the best solution. Additionally, with Dr. Andrew Levy as his partner, Dr. Cedeño is able to consult and work with another widely respected expert in Podiatry to solve virtually

any foot/ankle problems. You’re safe at Abacoa Podiatry because, together, Drs. Cedeño and Levy have 41 years of experience!

It’s time to put your best foot forward… call Abacoa Podiatry to schedule your appointment with the experts and become one of the “friends of the practice!”
