More than your typical spa

By Patricia Nugent

When you walk into Vivify Wellness at Avenues, you are greeted by a beautiful, lush environment. Striving to re-center your mind-body connection, Vivify’s upscale boutique atmosphere puts the focus on getting you back to yourself.

“Massage therapy can be one of the most effective tools in your toolbox of healing and self-care,” says founder Lisa M. Borchert, M.A. Ed., LPCC. “We’re thrilled to welcome some new massage therapists to our team.”

Vivify now has a massage therapist on staff with expertise in lymphatic massage to reduce swelling and edema. Since the lymphatic system moves the waste out of cells, it’s important to keep it engaged and functioning. It’s also an integral mechanism to a properly functioning immune system.

In addition to massage, the team of compassionate and knowledgeable clinicians expertly address your personal wellness needs, from reiki and suggested yoga poses for your home practice to cupping and hot stone therapy. The staff at Vivify takes an integrative approach to your health, addressing the wellness of the whole person as part of a much-needed self-care plan.

“Sometimes people come in for a service and there’s such an emotional release they become tearful on the table,” she says. “They are holding so much tension in their bodies.”

Vivify offers massage, acupuncture, a therapeutic salt room and an infrared sauna for cleansing toxins from the body, helping to heal the mind and body by releasing and relaxing.

Vivify Wellness at Avenues is located within Ghent Square at 843 N. Cleveland-Massillon Road in Fairlawn. Call 330-576-4144 or visit VivifyWellnessAtAvenues.com for more information.
