Living Well Blog: Saratoga's Holistic Health Forum

June 2008 Archives

This week it's our pleasure to announce that Sarah Sick and De La Luna Airbrush Tanning will be joining us at Living Well. The product she uses is 99% natural and her clients are just loving their perfect tans! Welcome Sarah!
This is the place to ask those questions you want to know! You can address any of our practitioners for concerns on acupuncture, skin care, nail care, waxing, eyelash extensions, mineral or traditional makeup, tui na oriental bodywork, massage, reiki, physical therapy, permanent cosmetics or airbrush tanning. Whether your questions are specific or general, please feel free to ask away!
Congratulations to the winner of the mother's day contest at Star radio! Nancy of Everlasting Beauty and I participated in the contest giveaway and yesterday, the lucky winner came in for her Deluxe European Facial and a consultation with Nancy for her permanent liner! Our winner is the proud mother of nine children. After chatting with her, it was clear that she was the perfect winner! I can't even imagine what it would be like to raise nine children. Whoa.
So, now that we created this blog, we needed to update the website so that everyone would know that it is here. This meant another harrowing experience with the ftp program. It's enough to give a girl a bad hairdo (read: mad scientist). Einstein was a wiz, but apparently did not have a good stylist. Anyhow, all's well that ends well and we are updated. Today was a very nice day. Still working on getting the temperature to be just right upstairs and down! But I love the warmth and the sunshine!
I managed to create the blog that I mentioned beginning in today's "New's & Events" update on the site. It was so similar to the process of the upload itself -- a sort of trial and error shenanigan that feels like trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat and then, somehow it works and the furry thing appears and you really have no idea what you did differently this time, but you don't care because you've done it! So, now, I think that I'd like to create different segments on here: one that I have in mind is an "Ask The Practitioner" place. Let's see if I can manage to dream this into being! Amazed and grateful, Reisa

Reisa Mehlman

Though unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Reisa is able to traverse seemingly impossible heights step by step with the magical leap tossed in here and there for good measure.

Writing and creating words and music came at an early age, as the world presented so much fascinating information; she simply had to find a way to express it. Inevitably, this love of input and beauty would result in the chasing of butterflies and create almost unattainable choices. Nevertheless, it makes for an incredibly interesting road: bumpy and winding, but also directed, intuitive, and mystical.

A gifted performer and vocalist, Reisa attended Berklee College of Music, pursuing a double major in audio engineering and electronic music, after which, she became active in the entertainment business: writing and directing productions for stage, and cable television, and releasing a cd entitled Songs From the Future, which is available on CD Baby. Her writing has been published in numerous venues including Numb Magazine, ezine articles, and the Healing Springs Journal. Early in her first marriage, Motherhood found, wooed and grounded Reisa, teaching many important lessons and helping her to rediscover the little girl within.


Dr. Sarah Lobisco

Dr. Sarah LoBisco has been involved in wellness for over 8 years. Her experience includes mentoring with holistic practices throughout New York, Vermont, and Connecticut.

Sarah has received training in essential oils, herbal therapy and whole food supplements. She is a graduate of the accredited four year post-graduate program in naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. This program includes 1300 hours of clinical experience along with a demanding scientific curriculum comparable to conventional medical training.

Sarah has passed her national licensing board exams which consisted of questions regarding clinical diagnosis, laboratory methods, pharmacology, nutrition and natural healing methodology.
