Welcome to 2012. We believe this year will be one of the most exciting our human race has ever experienced. There are numerous theories around 2012. Will it bring a new age of light, ultimate doom, or nothing special? Astrologers predict big events based on the planets' positioning.
January 23 marks the Chinese New Year, year of the Water Dragon. Whatever 2012 may bring, it is my hope that you all have a healthy, happy, prosperous and exciting year.
Allow us to support your dreams and goals by treating yourself to our healing oasis. Our staff is offering wonderful specials this month. I hope you will take advantage. We also are excited to welcome a new spa coordinator, Sara, and that Amelia has rejoined our family with a schedule Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings to start. Have a cup of tea and enjoy holistic health and skincare articles by Helena Meyer and BeeGee Stivers in this newsletter.
Thank you for your continuous support. I look forward to seeing you soon. Mahalo!
Namaste,

Welcome Sara Libal
We are excited to welcome Sara to the Sensorielle family. Sara Libal, a recent transplant from southern California, has a strong background in administrative support and is always looking for the next new challenge. Her love of the holistic lifestyle began after managing an all natural skincare line developed by a homoeopathic practitioner in Ventura CA. Discovering that how you felt and how your body reacted not only from what you put in it, but on it as well, fed her desire to live a more holistic life. She went back to school, and after completing her studies in Holistic Nutrition, she opened a coffee shop/bakery in 2010 that specialised in gluten free and diabetic friendly foods and drinks. She hopes to continue learning more about holistic health and wellness and in turn she would like to one day be able to help educate others on a better way of life. In her free time Sara loves to cook and write short stories.

Sensorielle would like to thank Lori Knies for her spa management and customer service over the past few years. Lori has been a loyal, trustworthy, and caring member of Sensorielle's family. She has moved on to a position more related to her study of design. While she has taken this new position, and will no longer be working at the spa as a manager or spa coordinator, Lori is continuing to see her massage clients at Sensorielle. Feel free to request her wonderful touch. We wish her well in her new endeavors and look forward to having her continue working as she can with Sensorielle, and offering her "Kreatively Kute" line of hand-made hair flair, dream catchers, greeting cards and more.
Sensorielle would also like to acknowledge Hopi Wilder, Licensed Acupuncture & Massage Therapist, for her work over the past year. She has moved back to be close to her family in California. Hopi's grounded and positive presence will be missed at the spa. We wish her well on her journey.

Ayurveda Recommendations for Balancing Vata
We are in the middle of the vata season. Since we are also geographically and climatically in a vata area (high mountains, dry & windy, high altitude), we feel vata especially strongly during winter. Vata dosha or constitution is governed by Space and Air, and hence responsible for body metabolism, body movements, nervous functions and breathing. There are 80 kinds of possible disturbances due to Vata aggravations. High Vata is indicated by a desire for warm food, warm environment, and warm clothing. Physical symptoms are weak muscle tone, constipation, lack of energy, loss of sleep, fatigue, excess mental activity (thoughts), and abdominal distention with flatulence. Psychological symptoms are fear, anxiety, insecurity, confusion and aimless talking. Ailments and diseases such as body pain, stiffness, shivering, constipation, insomnia, arthritis and joint problems, aging, muscle weakness, hernia, muscle spasms, toxicity etc. are some of the disturbances caused when the equilibrium of Vata dosha is disturbed.
In order to balance vata, one should follow these recommendations:
1. Protect yourself from wind and cold.
2. Eat well & regularly. Follow your ayruvedic body type diet - ask us for help here (book a consultation with Helena).
3. Make sure your skin is nourished so that the wind and cold air do not age you in this season. We recommend our 100% organic helena Meyer ayurvedic skin care available in our spa.
4. Ayurvedic Wellness Consultations with Helena Meyer during vata season are especially helpful in identifying your vulnerable areas for health, well-being and emotional and mental balance.
5. Therapeutic oil massage (abyanga) with Helena Meyer Vata Body Oil before bathing or shower is highly detoxifying and grounding for the physiology, mind & emotions. Massage every morning for 10-20 minutes rubbing vigorously in an up and down motion. Shower for at least 5 minutes.
6. Get enough rest and sleeping at least 8 hrs per day. Go to bed before 10 PM.
7. Light & regular exercise.
8. Ayurvedic treatments: shirodhara, abyanga at Sensorielle 303-247-9932, http://www.sensoriellespa.com
9. Work in a pleasant environment, enjoy work!
10. Regular habits & routines.
11. Drink a lot of fluids.
12. Stress reduction.
13. Helena Meyer “Detox” Mineral Bath for a nightly foot bath. Soak feet in bucket with 2 Tbsp. of Mineral Bath for 20 minutes or longer. Shower
feet warm/cold alternatevely. Rub warm with towel.
14. Apply Helena Meyer Vata Body Oil daily after bath or shower and daily and on feet every night before bedtime.
15. Make a DAILY ROUTINE sheet. Lack of organization increases vata and excessive mind activity. Make it sacred, you will have a sacred experience.
16. Make sure things you always wanted to do find their place in the routine. Allow time for doing nothing, 5-10 minutes several times daily. It is grounding and slows the vata considerably.
17. Take nourishing herbs that pacify vata such as Banyan Tranquil Mind & Ashwaganda.
In order to balance vata one should follow avoid:
1. Fasting or skipping meals.
2. Frequent and heavy exercises.
3. Too much travel.
4. Heavy work.
5. Irregular meal times.
6. Irregular bed time.
7. Air-conditioning or excess air heating.
8. Excessive mental work.
9. Overexert or stress oneself. Also, avoid worry, agitation, anxiety, stress.

BeeGee's Skincare Tips
Last Year's Winners for Anti Aging, Acne, Sensitive, Hydrated SKIN!
I have to share products my clients, colleagues and I used last year that deserve Oscars for correcting and greatly improving their skin whether it was acne, firmness, sensitivity, hydration, rosacea or aging. Drum Roll!!!!!! It's Eminence's Vitamins!!! VitaSkin Vitamin Solutions!
I have to be a believer and test things before I recommend products for you and my clients. After a year of seeings these vitamins work for me and many others, I'm a big believer! After a month of taking Eminence's Firm Skin vitamins, my skin was more clear, more evenly toned and firmer for a lady in her 60's. Also everyone else here at the spa noticed improvements.
Lori, who works here at the spa, used the vitamins and after a month her acne was cleared and her face was more evenly toned. Many, many more testimonials to share but no room. But please call me at the spa.
I used to take several vitamins for different things. Now, I take one VitaSkin per day and see much better results and it cost less money. I'll leave it up to the scientists to formulate exact things for me. Eminence vitamins are unique in two ways: they have a "pill in pill" system i.e. two pills in one capsule and in addition 3 different vitamins to choose for your skin: Clear Skin, Calm Skin and Firm Skin. So if you have aging skin, dehydrated skin, rosacea, redness, acne, and/or blemishes you have 3 different vitamins you can choose. Some of us alternate, one month we'll use Calm Skin and next month use Firm or Clear skin. The pill in pill system allows your intestines to absorb necessary ingredients before they are somewhat destroyed in your stomach preventing good absorption for you and wasting your money. As Eminence states: "The Benefits: 2 supplements in one offering more amazing results. Multiple-Phase Release System for optimum distribution in the body when and where the nutrients are needed most. Ingredients remain stable and inactive until they reach the digestive tract."
The other Oscar goes to Helena Meyer Anti-Aging Exfoliator / Home Face Lift! Lovingly made for us daily in Boulder by Ayurvedic practitioner, Helena and her husband, Bob. I love, love this! If I can't get a facial, I use this at home. We sell it off the shelf because it works and every, yes, every ingredient is totally 100% organic. She is very adamant about that! And that's why her whole skin care line is so popular here and in Boulder!
As Helena says, "our Herbal Exfoliator/Face Lift is an amazing, new anti-aging product that restores skin elasticity and tone. It is the healthy and safe answer to alpha-hydroxy face peels, as it removes dead skin cells and lightens skin tone."
To sum it up: Eminence unique two-in one vitamins for any skin type and Helena Meyers Exfoliant/Face Lift get the Oscars for really great, younger and healthier you in this New Year.
Remember your skin looks good when you take care of the inside too! And both of these products do this. Even though we eat healthy, we still need extra boost of good nutrition!
Looking forward to discovering and sharing great, healthy products and tips for your skin.
Sending love to your beautiful skin,
Beegee Stivers
