Sure, the holidays are one of the most enjoyable and memorable times of the year. But of course, they can also be one of the most stressful times too.
But there's a place in Westlake where people can go to relieve their stress and maximize their health.
People like Aimee Gallagher Correia get very busy around the holidays. Dealing with clients, chaos, and cutbacks is all part of her job. By the way, she's also seven months pregnant!
Aimee says it's a lot of long hours, physical and emotional stress. And that's why she goes to the California Health and Longevity Institute.
It's housed at the world famous Four Seasons Hotel and Spa in Westlake Village. But this is about much more than pampering.
Thirty-five doctors and wellness providers offer both traditional western medicines and alternative eastern medicines to boost your health.
Integrative medicine specialist Dr. Steven Tan says there are several stress relieving mind/body therapies available at the institution such as mediation, hynotherapy, biofeedback, guided imagery, yoga.
But Aimee's favorite is acupuncture. Dr. Tan says the use of needles stimulate certain areas in the body to boost relaxation and shut down some of the stress hormones.
Aimee says that while she's on the table and for days after the treatment she feels an overwhelming sense of peace and calm.
She says it's an important time that she gives herself to step away from her mind and problems.
She is able to relax and it carries her through the day like she's on a cloud. And Dr. Tan says not only does acupuncture feel good at the moment, it is a great investment in your future.
He says many studies have shown that stress is related to so many adverse and dangerous changes in your body.
So if you put some money and time into stress relieving techniques, like acupuncture, it will be a great investment in your future.
