April Newsletter and Specials With all of the controversy over the new health care reform bill spinning the country into chaos, here at Cocoon Urban Day Spa we would like to take a step back and focus on a Holistic approach to health care. We all have the power to maintain our own health and wellness. Responsibility for your health lies largely with you. Manageable lifestyle factors are the major determinants of health and disease. ![]() The Mechanic and the Gardener Some scientists use the "mechanic and the gardener" as a metaphor to describe the difference between the Western health care system and Holistic Health. Western medicine is the mechanic, who repairs things when they become broken. In contrast, the gardener, (Holistic Health) repairs and maintains the well being of things constantly so that they don't become broken or wilted. Making healthy decisions in our everyday life is the key to maintaining health and avoiding disease and illness. A large part of this is managing our stress levels. Having a way to relieve the stresses of everyday life is essential in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Here at Cocoon Urban Day Spa we embrace health by offering several ways to de-stress and rejuvenate. Try out our Spa Week Treatments from April 12th thru the 18th! Sign up for our newsletter to learn about more upcoming events! …Slow down and take the time to experience all of the little joys that life has to offer.
