WHAT SOME OF THE SKIN UNIQUE CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

People’s experiences vary due to many reasons. Some have profound experiences, others feel less stressed, rejuvenated and renewed while many others feel deeply touched and moved on their soul level. All people have absolutely positive results in more than one area.

Here is only a fraction of comments received over the years.

Aromatherapy Massage, REIKI, Healing

I come in broken and I leave refreshed, relaxed and at peace. Magic!!!!
- Bruce F. London

Alena is positively the best aroma-massage therapist I have experienced. I have never felt anything like it and my 2 days migraine was gone within hours.
- Ken J., London

Just finished most relaxing massage ever, made me feel like a queen.
- Marie Strobl, London

Very, very relaxing! For someone who finds it hard to relax, this massage treatment hits the spot!
- Pat Cooper, London

Very relaxing and rejuvenating experience!
Though I have difficult time to “let go” and relax, this time I felt no pain and just closed my eyes thinking of nothing but feeling good. For the first time half way through my aromatherapy massage session I believe that I saw the white light shining on me. It was quite an experience. It’s an experience you want to feel again and again.

Alena is a very good aroma-massage therapist.
- Margaret Garofolo, London

Alena is a miracle worker! She always helps me to feel great, “well oiled” and beautifully smelling.
- Audrey Warnock, London

Alena does a wonderful job. She has lots of expertise and experience. For me, the experience is therapeutic. Coming to Alena helps me go into a deep relaxation response.
- Ellen J., London

Recently, I had a profound REIKI session with Alena. The energy was very powerful, and perhaps one of the most profound sessions of REIKI I have ever had. I encourage everyone to try REIKI.

Sincerely, Carla Kelly, Reiki Master/Teacher

(PS. After little while, when I finished Carla’s treatment, she looked at me with her beautiful big brown eyes - wide open and said: “YOU have God’s hands”. I think I was more amazed at the moment than she was …I feel truly blessed…thank you )

Dear Alena

I was impressed with your extensive knowledge and the array of healing equipment and the many therapies you expertly practise at your Spa and treatment centre in Byron On. You do have extensive abilities, and that healing touch, that can only come from years of experience. You successfully relieved 80% of my leg pain in just one visit. Your natural therapy centre is much more then a massage and Spa....its a mini clinic. I was impressed with the huge commitment you have made in putting together one of the best equipped massage and treatment centres in London ON. I would sincerely recommend to sincere individuals interested in their own well being to visit you, a knowledgeable therapist who "has it all in one place" so to speak. Your "hands on" treatments to relieve fitness and sports or work injuries is well worth the visit. Indeed your healing hands are a gift from heaven.

Warmest Regards
Rev Douglas J Cottrell
London ON

Facials

Wonderful results! Alena knows what my skin needs and gives a beautiful treatment. Alena has so many gifts – it is a pleasure receiving her professional care.
- M.C Gettliffe, London

Alena’s facials are for anybody who feels the need to relax and treat the skin at the same time. She brings you into the different mind set with her treatments.
I don’t think there are words in our language to describe the feeling, the energy that charged my body, coming through the basis of my spine.
The warms went through my whole body and I felt like I was floating. The entire experience left me floating through the universe. I was experiencing the energy of flowers, plants, animals and the mystical of the native culture. I was all over the place and I experienced joy and laughter. The earth and its people are only a small part in our universe and time became non-existent.
- MaryAnn Keddy, Toronto

I have struggled with troublesome skin all of my life and tried many products over the years. My skin always reacted negatively to anything I tried. Until I met Alena, I felt I had no options for skin care and basically used nothing. Alena’s products and treatments have proven to be wonderfully beneficial for my skin and I no longer need to use any rosacea medication. I am even receiving complements on my complexion…….who would have thought? - Pat L., London

The facial is always a very relaxing experience. The texture and scents of the creams and lotions are soothing and healing and the massages are comforting and rejuvenating.
I always rest and sometimes sleep quite deeply. When I awake I feel renewed and my skin feels great. Alena works well with all her products. Her facials are a complete treat for the whole body and spirit.

- Deb, London

Alena is very dedicated, competent and very knowledgeable esthetician. Her treatments are very relaxing, thorough, effective – very positive experience. Good products, comfortable surroundings, dependable, consistent and honest service.
- Anida B., London

My facials make my face feel very relaxed and stress free. Alena has the “perfect” touch to revive tired skin. The products feel smooth and creamy on my skin. Thanks!
- Gail K., London

My facials are a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Great!
Alena is very professional and she puts a lot of time and effort into the facials. My skin fells very soft and smooth; I like the products very much.
- Olive Murray, London

Besides having a great facial it is a deep relaxation experience. I experienced the light and the energies going through my body.
Anna response two days after: “ I am still feeling the “star” tingle on my face!”
- Anna Deboer, Victoria, BC

Over the years I have experienced many healing sessions with Alena. She has helped me to quit smoking and counseled me to better health through her knowledge of nutritional and herbal supplements.

The combination of sauna and hot stone therapy or customized massages has been beneficial in either wording off a potential bronchial cough to chasing away an existing cold from my system. Her choice and application of specific essential oils work well to alleviate many of my stress-induced conditions ranging from muscle tension to feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

Our many conversations have encouraged me to choose a more positive, self-nurturing outlook.

And her facials are fabulous! I would particularly promote the Swiss laser with ultrasonic microdermabrasion facial treatment for its firming and plumping effect, giving my skin a glowing, buffed appearance.

What woman doesn’t like being told she looks 10 years younger than her actual age!

Alena “delivers”, and you are the “special package” when you spend time at her spa.
- Debbie O., London

I would like you to know also that the services and products you provide are absolutely outstanding. I recently won a gift certificate for a facial at a spa in Huntsville. Well, the facial I got cannot match yours in quality and excellence.

- Ursula T., Toronto

Skin Unique is the best name for this spa/retreat. I have never been so pampered and treated so special!

The natural products have terrific results. I have been visiting the spa on a regular basis for about a year and a half now, and my skin looks and feels so much younger. I am regaining my youth with each visit to Alena’s spa.

Breathing oxygen clears my mind and relaxes my body. It gives me more energy and a general sense of well-being.

The oxygen facials make my skin feel young and firm. It is very relaxing to have this treatment. The fine lines in my face are disappearing and the bigger ones are getting smaller with every treatment. I am also using the amazing “spa products” at home as I continue my lust for healthy skin and body. You can see and feel Alena’s love, passion and enthusiasm for her work! This is what makes the experience so great. In our busy, stressed lives – this is an oasis of calm.
- Jan S., London

I have known Alena for fifteen years. She is an amazing compassionate person with outstanding integrity. I have a very trusting relationship with her.

European Herbal / Mud Wraps

Everyone can use a natural detox wraps these days and the aromatherapy massage with it is a nice touch.
This is a good way to relieve every day stress. I feel very, very relaxed. I have not felt this relaxed before; I am usually tense person.
- Iman, London

The body wrap, body glow and sauna are amazing by itself and with Aromatherapy massage afterwards is a totally blissful half day experience. The combination of oils, heat and mud helped with the tension I carry (and I test to carry a bit!). I fell asleep and woke up totally limp and deeply relaxed, almost stoned. Thanks Alena, I needed that!
- D. O., London

Deluxe “BACK Facial”

My back treatments experiences:

Totally relaxing
Encased in a cocoon
Spiritually lifted
Stress relieved from my total body
Great head and feet massage
Wonderful scents of Essential oils
Could have stayed “forever” in a such a relaxing state
Every “touch” seemed “timed” for healing my mind as well as my body
Treatment worth every minute
- Gayle K., London

Soothing, comforting and warming on my back. It reminded me of when I was a child and my mum would give a back rub in bed if I was not sleeping well.
My back feels completely relaxed – even more so than when visiting the massage therapist. I guess it is the cleansing and toning that contributes. It is amazing.
- Debbie, London

How to put it into words? Alena removed the tension in my neck, shoulders, and back. My skin on my back feels like silk. I have never felt so relaxed. I have never been so pampered.
Alena is “tuned in” to what each of us needs. This is why her treatments are so amazing. It must be experienced – it cannot be explained.
The pressure point massage provided a “good pain” that relaxed into an incredible sensation and peace and calmness.
- Janice S., London

This back treatment is better than ever! It is kind of hard to describe.
It is deeply relaxing; my muscles feel much warmed, unbound and very comfortable, more pliable and floating and all of my tension is gone, even in the neck muscles. Pain is gone, I feel sooo loose, I am totally relaxed and I am not worried! I feel kind of liberated.
The only problem is that I don’t want to leave.
- Deborah, London

I am so happy that I found Alena and Skin Unique, it is not your regular Spa, the treatments are so "unique" and the energy work that Alena incorporates into every treatment is amazing, you come away with a wonderful sense of lightness as if all your stress has been lifted from your body. Alena is very gifted and has many credentials as well. I recommend the "Back Facial" or any of the "Face" facials, beautiful essential oils and organic products are used in these treatments. You will love it!

- Rose Ross, London

Pedicure

Alena is very thorough at everything she does. When my brows and lashes are tinted, my whole expression changes to wow! She does the best job.
My feet always feel 100% better after her pedicure. I am always totally relaxed when I leave Skin Unique. Thanks Alena!

- Grace Clemens, London

Alena’s pedicure is the best treat for my feet. Most relaxing and the one I always look forward too.
- Claudia H., London

Alena is very knowledgeable and has a gentle touch. It is very relaxing even though I am there for a short time while I have my brows colored and tinted.
- Linda S., London

Oxygen Facials

I have had psoriasis on my nose and forehead for many years. Nothing really helped. It took only one treatment by Alena, who gave me an Oxygen Facial, and the continued use at home of a splash of liquid “Activated Stabilized Oxygen” on my face to keep my skin condition under control. No more flaky or red skin. The Oxygen Facial does not only feel very relaxing, rejuvenating and energizing, but my skin looks radiant after the treatment. Thank you, Alena!
- Ursula T., Toronto

Workshops and Seminars

We’re all looking for a little tranquility in our lives and I think I’ve found the place. The soothing atmosphere at Skin Unique is a rare treat for me. Recently, I attended a hands-on skin care seminar at Skin Unique. We shared a healthy and delicious smoothie that Alena had made while she spoke to us about the importance of skin care. Alena demonstrated a facial on one of the women while the rest of us learned skin cleansing and moisturizing by washing our faces with her guidance. And the products we used were wonderful! So if you need a relaxing retreat, you need to attend a seminar at Skin Unique.
