I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease two years ago. In reality, Parkinson’s had started creeping in at least three years before that. As a violin teacher, I’d noticed that my bow handling was getting more and more robotic, but I ignored it. 

Do not ignore the little signs. Talk to your doctor about even the smallest things if they are persistent. 

When my massage therapist noticed that my arms didn’t swing when I walked, I had to stop living in denial and face reality. Unfortunately, my current reality is that I am stiff as a board, and my body shakes when I try to do anything. Unless I am submerged in water, that is.

Gravity is a damnable thing to Parkinson’s victims. Being in water is close to Nirvana for us. Paradise, Nirvana, same thing, right? 

I wish my house was underwater. I wish I was a mermaid. I wish I didn’t have Parkinson’s Disease. None of those wishes are going t come true anytime soon, if ever, so I am grateful to Starr and her team at Paradise for making life more bearable. 

If you don’t know anything about Parkinson’s Disease let me tell you this. It’s caused by the gradual loss of dopamine producing cells in the brain. Dopamine? It regulates movement. And emotion. 
So, as your brain stops making dopamine, you get stiffer. And you get tremors. You can become depressed and anxious. The side effects of the drugs they prescribed 
were awful. I had no desire to live in a haze, so I went to Paradise. 

If you want to understand how absurdly difficult life can be for someone afflicted with Parkinson’s Disease, consider this: I feel stiffness and tightnessunder my hair. It’s like wearing a hat that is two sizes too small. Crazy, huh? 

But that all changes when I jump in the pool at Paradise. As soon as I hit the water I go from feeling like the Tin Man after the monsoon season, to feeling like Jane Freaking Fonda, some sort of ninja ballerina. 

I can move to the music in my head when I go through my routine that Starr designed for me personally. There is NO WAY I could go through one of Starr’s workout sessions out of the pool. I would look and feel like a zombie trying to do yoga. 

I feel so good after my sessions in the Paradise pool. My muscles are softer, my range of motion is better. Any pain I wake up with disappears. Even when I have my bad days I really want to come to Paradise.

Riding a bike is when I feel most “normal”. Biking in the water is an awesome experience. It’s fun, and if it’s fun you will do it! Even life on land is better on the days I can’t make it to Paradise. 

Next I’m going to try the infrared sauna. I am told that infrared heat helps PD symptoms go away. 

Short of a cure for Parkinson’s, Paradise is the best thing I can wish for, and I don’t need a genie to grant that wish. 

There is an enduring debate over whether or not you should trust your mechanic. The basic argument, of course, is that while your mechanic may be competent enough to fix your car, he may also be unscrupulous enough to make sure you have to keep coming back, by fixing one thing, but breaking another. 

I was plagued by a not dissimilar problem a couple years ago, but it was not about something as trifling as my car, it was about my spine. 

I’d had a spinal fusion in 2011. When I started to get pains again, I went to a physiotherapist, who asked about my exercise habits. I told her I was working out at the public pool. Wrong, she said, go to Paradise and see Starr.

Now, I don’t want you to get the idea that the staff at the public pool were trying to harm me, in order to keep me coming back and refilling their coffers. Perish the thought. Fine people, all of them. 

No, mine is not a story about unscrupulous individuals. It is, rather, a story about some purported professionals being less competent than others. The nice folk at the public pool simply lack the expertise of Starr and her staff at Paraidise. My physiotherapist understood this, and so did I just a few weeks after taking out a membership. 

It was the difference between night and day. The staff at the public pool were well intentioned, but what do they say the road to Hell is paved with? Hell is the opposite of Paradise, right? 

Spinal fusion surgery is a last resort for those of us who suffer debilitating back pain. If you have never experienced painful problems with your back, thank your lucky stars, because it is a truly horrendous plight to have to suffer through. 
As I say, the surgery is the last resort. So, if you are starting to experience back pain, if you are not yet enduring protracted and substantial discomfort, you should start taking counter measures pronto. 

By all means, consult your doctor, but I am confident he or she will tell you to start a regimen of physiotherapy that includes water based exercise. 

If you want to save a couple bucks by trying the public pool, go right ahead. But remember, you get what you pay for. 

At Paradise, what you’re paying for is relief from pain. What you’re paying for is better health. What you’re paying for is expert care and maintenance. 

Starr knows what works for whatever problems you are having. And she knows what doesn’t work for those problems, too. I have been working out in the pool, thinking I was doing something right, only to have Starr come over and say, “Do this Loraine.” 

If I miss a few consecutive sessions at Paradise, I can feel it. And every time I start to feel it, I know that my options are clear – get back in the pool, or go back to the operating room. It’s a simple decision to make, and I advise you to think about what your next move is. 

I’m a woodworker. A cabinet maker. Have been for a long time. It’s grueling work. Physically demanding. 

After long years of hard labor, I was promoted to management. I don’t have to do as much punishing work as I used to, and it’s a good thing, because all that backbreaking work was literally backbreaking. 

Wait. I never literally broke my back, but I sure did do some damage, and I really felt it when I was required to move heavy stuff around, which I still am, from time to time. 
When I was out of the office, pitching a potential customer, I noticed Paradise. I walked, across the street, and through the doors. B I N G O! 
One look around, and I knew Paradise is what my aching back needed.

I wasn’t going to be a fulltime desk-jockey. To keep my job, I was going to have to be fit enough to step away from the desk, and get physical, and there’s no such thing as, “Fake it ‘til you make it,” when you have to push and shove. 

The aquacise class I was taking at Paradise was great for relieving the pain in my back. But when I met Starr, and she showed me some stretches, and exercises, specifically for my back, everything changed. My back not only stopped hurting, it felt strong again. 

The stretches released the strain in my muscles from my hips to my ribs. Then Starr hooked me up to the Aqualogix drag equipment, which increased resistance. That’s how you strengthen your back. And that’s how you keep your job. 

I no longer fear that my back problems, now minor, will result in me losing my job. I have to be careful, but I can still bull around heavy stuff with the kids, thanks to Paradise. 

My job demands a lot of my time, so I don’t always get to spend as much time at Paradise as I’d like. Mostly, I like going in on Saturdays, when it’s not so busy. I workout on my own, but I still take the occasional class to learn new things I can do to improve on what I’ve already achieved. 

And the far infrared sauna is a perfect compliment for my exercise regimen. An hour in the pool, followed by a half hour, sometimes more, in the sauna, and I feel like a million bucks. 

Sometimes, after a good workout, I just float around on a noodle, weightless and care free. And pain free! 

On a lazy Saturday afternoon, Paradise is a much better place than the couch. 



Some of the kids at the shop are intrigued by my comeback. I suppose they thought it was over for me, the poor old-timer. But I showed ‘em! And they now know that I’ll be around until I take my retirement. 



Those kids think they’re indestructible. Well, so did I. But they will learn, probably the hard way, that a lifetime of physical toil comes at a price. I tell them they should get ahead of the game, by coming to Paradise, but they don’t listen. Something tells me that I’ll see them at Paradise, sooner or later.

Reiki at Paradise Salon: A Pathway to Holistic Healing

Embrace the Healing Power of Reiki
Reiki is an ancient practice of channeling universal life force energy to promote healing and balance. Originating from Japan, the word Reiki combines 'Rei' (universal) and 'Ki' (life force energy) to describe this powerful, hands-on healing technique. It is akin to the traditional concept of 'laying on of hands,' offering a gentle yet profound method of energy healing.

A Non-Invasive Approach to Wellness
One of the unique aspects of Reiki is its non-invasive nature. There is no need to disrobe, as Reiki energy flows freely through clothing, blankets, and even casts. This makes it a versatile and accessible form of healing for everyone, irrespective of their physical condition or limitations.

Safe, Gentle, and Free from Side Effects
Reiki is renowned for its safety and gentleness, making it suitable for all ages and conditions. It is a risk-free practice with no known side effects, ensuring a peaceful experience that nurtures your well-being.

Promotes Relaxation and Deeper Healing
At its core, Reiki aims to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate deeper levels of healing. It works on the principle of enhancing overall health rather than merely focusing on illness. By balancing the body's energy centers, Reiki can contribute to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.

Complementary to Traditional Medical Treatments
Reiki is not only beneficial as a standalone therapy but also complements traditional medical treatments. It can enhance the efficacy of various medical procedures and therapies, providing a holistic approach to healing that addresses the body, mind, and spirit.

Embracing a Holistic Approach to Wellness at Paradise

Wellness: A Multidimensional Journey

At Paradise, we embrace wellness not just as a concept, but as a way of life. It's about more than just looking great—it's about feeling great in every aspect of your being. Wellness is a dynamic path of choices, activities, and lifestyles that collectively contribute to holistic health. This journey encompasses more than just physical well-being; it delves into the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life.

Beyond Physicality: A Deeper Understanding of Wellness

Wellness, as we see it at Paradise, transcends the physical realm of nutrition and fitness. It's an integrated approach, as emphasized by John Travis, MD, MPH, who sees wellness as a multidimensional concept. This perspective aligns with our ethos: wellness is not only about how you look; it's about how you feel, think, and connect with your inner self.

Unraveling the 'Why' in Your Wellness Journey

Our goal at Paradise is to help you uncover the deeper reasons behind your wellness challenges. It's not just about what you do—the "human doing" aspect of action and behavior change. We believe in addressing the "human being" aspect, diving into the underlying beliefs and emotions that drive your wellness journey. This holistic approach helps in understanding and nurturing every facet of your being, leading to a more fulfilled and balanced life.

Guidelines for a Safe and Enjoyable Experience

Microdermabrasion: Your Key to Timeless Skin

Unlock the Secrets of Youthful Radiance
Microdermabrasion, commonly referred to as Microderm, stands as a cornerstone in the realm of anti-aging skincare. Renowned for its simplicity and efficacy, this treatment is a gateway to a myriad of skin improvements. Embrace a solution that turns back the clock on your skin, revealing a more youthful and radiant you.

A Multifaceted Approach to Skin Rejuvenation
The benefits of Microderm are extensive, catering to a range of skin concerns. It delicately softens fine lines and wrinkles, smooths coarsely textured skin, and minimizes the appearance of scars.

This combination amplifies the effects of both treatments, providing a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. It's a tailored strategy to maximize your skin’s potential for renewal and vibrancy.

Personalized Care and Consultation
To ensure the best results tailored to your unique skin needs, Microdermabrasion requires a personalized approach. This specialized service is not available for online booking.
