January 2010 Improper Bostonian Magazine:

Vitamin C Revitalizing Facial with Revitalight LED Treatment

DESCRIPTION: The facial and the LED treatment work to reduce fine lines and make skin healthier. A photostimulation process encourages collagen production without turning you into a Hollywood housewife.

HEALTH BENEFITS: This isn’t a gimmicky facil that leaves you smelling line Sunny D. Vitamin A and C serums help reverse sun damage, while the LED light is rejuvenating without pesky UV rays.

NOVELTY FACTOR: Electrical stimulation from a “galvanic machine” coaxes your skin to absorb the vitamins.

ACCOUNT: Starting with the LED treatment, the therapist covers your eyes and moves a small light slowly around your face – like an erazer removing each, tiny flaw. Next, your skin is coated with a fruit bowl’s worth of nutrients. After a few applications, it’s time for an upper-body massage.

RESULTS: Clearer skin with fewer fine lines.

IN A NUTSHELL: “I feel like I cheated plastic surgery.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Natalie has a wonderful knowledge of anatomy and musculature, and has no problem applying the right amount of pressure at the right places. I play soccer competitively on the weekends almost year round. It`s really a young person`s game, but between some yoga and Natalie I`m still performing well in my 50`s and thanks in part to her I don`t see an end in sight”- John Chu, attorney and weekend warrior

“I have been going to Natalie for 2 years. First I started seeing her for waxing. By now I have tried all her services – waxing, massage, facial. She is perfectionist, professional, knowledgeable and sincere. With waxing she is thorough and gentle; with massage depending on my mood and needs, she gives me either relaxing or concentrated work on my stiff muscles. I have had acne and pigmentation problem for a long time, and tried so many different products. But thanks to facial with glycolic peel by Natalie and recommended homecare, my skin is almost acne and dark spot free. Not only that, my skin became soft, clear and radiant.

Believe me when I say that if you try her once, you will not go anywhere else again.”- Kristine Tepp.

“Natalie is one of the best massage therapists I have used and continue to use. Being in the fitness industry and also an extremely active person the need for a knowledgeable and thorough massage therapist is not a luxury it is a necessity. Her movement is slow and the pressure is deep.

Natalie concentrates directly on the areas that are tight and in pain while giving me a deep tissue massage. Natalie is warm, caring and very focused on what her clients need. I can`t wait for my next session with her” – Regina O`Brien, personal trainer.

“I have always had a hard time finding someone to wax my eybrows just right. I never went to the same person twice, until I found Natalie. She does the most amazing job. She takes her time and is careful to get them just right. I look forward to my appointments with her as she is also a good friend and person to talk to. I would highly recommend her for any service!” – Heather Spinney.
