The Birth of The Virtual Spa®

The Virtual Spa® is a private, online “spa” that you can visit and discover the magic of transforming stress to serenity in 10 minutes or less and find many different ways to calm down your body and mind. When you leave this serenity retreat, you will feel refreshed, rejuvenated and refocused. I created this safe, nurturing, serenity retreat because I saw the effect of stress as we lived our busy lifestyles. The Virtual Spa® was created as an antidote to stress; our prayer for serenity. We were becoming busier, less happy, anxious and overwhelmed as the stress of dealng with our family responsibilities, jobs and not ourselves continued to escalate. I certainly was having that experience in my own life with my nervous system on overload and my mind always busy!

I became concerned about the effects of stress in my life and that of my family and clients. From many years as a therapist I knew, if we continued in this pattern of overload, we would eventually become sick — mentally, physically, or both. National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies show that 85% of all disease is stress-related, which validated my growing concerns about the disastrous effects of stress on my body and mind and that of my clients. That was scary to me. However, as I learned how to reduce stress and the stress response in a short time, more research was surfacing. Studies showed that just taking 10 minutes to be quiet on a regular basis reduces stress and has a huge positive impact on our health and happiness. Now of course, the problem is how do we find time, even 10 minutes, to destress and relax in our all-to-busy lives? That is why I created The Virtual Spa®: short, easy, online stress management. It is the only online spa for busy people just like you and me.

With my experience as a therapist and Life Balance Coach, I realized the importance of guiltless self-nurturing, as well as the value of a community of like-minded people who could support one another. SerenityPathways and The Virtual Spa® was birthed from a desire to create a place to meet those needs — a serenity retreat. SerenityPathways is a private space to destress as well as a community of like-minded individuals. We can share ideas and experience simple pathways to enable all of us to uncomplicate our busy lifestyles through the online spa, group coaching, the blog, teleclasses, and specially chosen products all designed to decrease stress — create more health, ease and happiness in our lives.

We will always have a complimentary (free) room which now is the Jacuzzi Room from the Relaxation Wing in the The Virtual Spa® where you will find gentle words and music to soothe your body and mind. You will relax, refresh and return to your life in 8 minutes, calm, rejuvenated and focused. We encourage you to take a few minutes now to experience The Jacuzzi Room and transform your stress to serenity. With membership, many more rooms are available for your relaxation, seven days a week, 24/7.
