Building Bridges
Emphasis on "foggy."
"Okay, Herman. I hate these team-building exercises as much as you, but the sooner we build this dumb bridge, the sooner we get to go home and forget this weekend ever happened. I've got the schematics here. You picked up the materials, right?"
"Uh. I hate to say it, Frank, but I think I misunderstood the directions."
"What do you mean?"
"The only 'materials' I've brought today are some bottles of Foggy Bridge wine."
"Wow, Herman. That's a huge misunderstanding, yes. Frankly, if we weren't currently engrossed in our circumstances, I'm sure it might be slightly amusing, but as it is, I have to say, I'm a little frustrated right now."
"Whoa, Frank. Relax. Here, let's have a glass of this wine, calm down a bit, and assess the situation."
"That's an excellent idea."
4 hours later
"...and, dude, we could build a bridge out of stuff 'round here, right, Hermam? I mean, who says WE have to adhere to THEIR rules anyway? Anything could be a bridge. THIS stick here? Brrridge. THIS ROCK? Bridge."
"Fronk, you're a, you, genius, man. I - I just - you're my best friend."

Study: U.S. Teachers Nowhere Near As Diverse As Students
New research shows that U.S. teachers are nowhere near as diverse as their students.
The diversity gap comes as the number of minority students in public schools rises. Studies from the Center for American Progress and the National Education Association point out that only 18 percent of the teachers in the public school system are nonwhite.
The author of the study Ulrich Boser says there are a number of issues at play. 'A culture that doesn't attract the best and brightest are pushing teachers of color to choose other career paths,'says Boser.
Almost half the students in the public school system are minorities.

Early results from Vegas
Ringside by Chris Cozzone
From the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's The Joint in Las Vegas: In an eight-rounder at supermiddleweight, Danny Jacobs (19-0, 16 KOs), of Brooklyn wasted no time with Jose "Bam Bam" Rodriguez Berrio (20-5, 12 KOs), of Colombia, flooring his foe twice in round one. In between rounds, Referee Jay Nady, on advice from the ringside doc, stopped the bout.
In an eight-round welterweight bout, Jermell Charlo (11-0, 5 KOs), of Houston won an unspectacular-but-unanimous decision over Gerardo Prieto (6-9-1, 0 KOs), of Mexico City, with scores of 79-72 twice and 80-71.
In a sixer between Texas welters, Omar Figueroa (9-0, 8 KOs) won a unanimous decision over game Edgar Portillo (6-4-1, 4 KOs). Figueroa outboxed his foe, but injured his left hand in round two. Scores were 60-54 and 58-56 twice.
In a six-round welterweight bout, Argentina's Diego Chavez (14-0, 12 KOs), in his U.S. debut, could not land a sleep-producer on Edvan Dos Santos Barros (10-9-1, 7 Kos), of Boca Raton, Fla., and had to settle for a unanimous decision with scores of 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Sexing of sperm for the predetermination of sexed offspring via in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination is now a reality. Our current technology can be improved to increase resolution and throughput of sperm per unit time. These experiments were designed to add new equipment to an existing cell sorter to increase the resolving power of the system. Results showed that resolving power could be increased up to 40% depending on the species. Additionally it was determined that sperm with tail abnormalities are responsible for poor resolution of X and Y sperm during the sorting process. These studies should be helpful in developing improved and more efficient sorting methods for sperm.
Technical Abstract: This paper describes the application of slit-scan flow cytometry for accurate DNA analysis of X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm. The slit- scanning technique was initiated to improve the consistency in resolution of the X and Y population from donor to donor. An optimal resolution is essential for high purity sorting of X and Y sperm as the difference in DNA Acontent is small (3-4%) in most mammals. This difference is the discriminatory parameter for the flow cytometric sorting of the two populations. We focused on the role of the sperm tail in the detection process. Slit-scan flow cytometric analysis allows the whole sperm to be spatially analyzed along the direction of flow. Sperm were stained with Dansyl Lysine, a UV excitable fluorescent membrane dye, which stained the head, midpiece and principal piece. Analysis of these stained sperm showed that there was no difference between the relative number of sperm that travel head first or tail first through the detection zone of the flow cytometer. The influence of sperm with coiled tails on DNA analysis was also investigated. The proportion of sperm with coiled tails influences semen quality. The standard X-Y separation procedure uses Hoechst 33342, which stains all intact sperm, both living and dead. Propidium Iodide was added to discriminate the dead sperm population. Slit-scan analysis showed that measurement of a sample containing a high proportion of living sperm with coiled tails results in an inferior DNA histogram and reduced X-Y resolution. Sperm with coiled tails can result in a lower detected fluorescence intensity. Slit-scan flow cytometry allows exclusion of sperm with coiled tails from the analysis, resulting in a restoration of high resolution of X- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm populations.

Welcome to Fresh Start Spa!
We are proud to offer you a wide variety of high quality treatments (more than 40). We hand pick therapists with extensive experience, and a deep understanding of how to work with a variety of health conditions. Most of our therapists have 10-20 years of experience in body work and choose from a large number of techniques to design the treatments for your individual needs.
Whether you have a structural issue you would like to address, or simply desire to pamper yourself, we are happy to offer you both. We aim for the quality of our services to go far beyond your expectations. A large number of our guests come back because of the quality of our therapies.
In order to accommodate your booking needs to the maximum extent possible, we offer our services exclusively, or almost exclusively for our retreat guests. This way you can get to know the therapists very closely and choose which therapists you would like to work with (as long as they are available).
Due to the uniqueness of our therapies, sometimes only one or two therapists may be able to perform a particular service. Being able to work with the therapist of your choice offers a huge advantage for you. You can read about our therapists and what services they offer on our About Us page.
Services Enhancing & Supporting Detoxification
1. Standard Colon Hydroptherapy (Colonic) Session, Chlorophyll, 45 min. $105
Colonics are designed for cleansing the colon from mucoid plaque, parasites, Candida and other impurities, as well as for helping to reshape and tone the colon muscles. During the procedure temperature-controlled purified water is gently introduced into the colon through the rectum. Implants of electrolytes and organic chlorophyll, electrolyte drink, and an abdominal massage are included. Colonics are usually followed by sensations of feeling lighter, clean, energized, and sometimes 1 to 3 lbs lighter on the scale. In 1917 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dr. Kellog wrote that of over forty thousand clients with gastrointestinal disease, he had to use surgery on only twenty. Using bowel cleansing, exercise and diet he was able to help the rest.
Colonics may greatly enhance results of the detox program. Please ask for specific dates when they are available.
2. Coffee Colonic Session, 50-55 min. $125
We use a specially prepared de-acidified organic coffee that assists the liver and gallbladder detox during a colonic session. It has become a standard procedure in helping people with cancer. According to Dr. Gerson's case studies, such fast-killing cancers as pancreatic, lung, ovarian and childhood melanoma were reversed with the help of coffee enemas. Coffee contains enzymes called Palmitates that help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. Palmitates in coffee increase the production of powerful free-radical-quenching enzymes Glutathione S-transferases (GST) by 700 times. These allow your liver to more effectively detoxify your entire body. The caffeine in the coffee stimulates peristaltic activity and dilates the bile ducts allowing toxins to be flushed through the gastro-intestinal tract.
3. Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Upper Body 1 hr. $95; Full Body 1 1/2h $145
This form of massage encourages elimination of metabolic waste, excess fluid and bacteria through stimulation of the lymphatic system. It shifts the buildup of extra fluid that can be caused through injury, a bone fracture, breast cancer, prostate cancer, caesarian, vasectomy, any operation, a weak heart or physical inactivity. It supports the immune system and makes elimination more efficient during cleansing. Lymphatic drainage massage is great for edema (swollen ankles and legs, puffy eyes) and other diseases related to venous insufficiency, promotes healing of scars and injuries, as well it may be helpful for sinusitis, arthritis, acne, other skin conditions, and post-operative healing. Along with colonics, another must of the program!
4. Far Infrared Sauna, 30-45 min. $35
The infrared wave's vibrations are similar with those of water and therefore have the capacity to penetrate very deep tissue, 0.5-1.5 inches, knocking toxins loose from body fat cells, and releasing them through sweating. This therapy is shown to be effective for heavy metal/medications detoxification, arthritis, many skin conditions, weight loss, injuries, pain relief, and for promoting healing. It may also be helpful for reducing cellulite.
Body Scrubs & Wraps
Scrubs and wraps are considered by many to be essential treatments during a cleansing program. As the skin is the largest organ of elimination in the body, it also needs special attention in order to help move toxins out of the body.
5. Salt Glow Body Scrub Followed By Massage, 1.5 hrs $135
During our Salt Glow treatment, we use natural ingredients to gently massage and exfoliate the skin over most of your body. This will remove any accumulated dead skin cells and toxins on the surface, and promote further detoxification as circulation is increased. When you shower off, your skin will be tingling and feel silky smooth. Besides leaving you feeling just plain wonderful, Salt Glow will enhance the results you will achieve from your cleanse.
6. Organic Coffee Scrub Followed By Massage, 1.5 hrs $135
Caffeine is a vasodilator, which means it relaxes blood vessels in the skin. This action works to make blood vessels firmer very quickly, which is reflected in your skin texture. The effect of this treatment may be very beneficial for those who combat the occurrence of varicose or spider veins, as well reduce the appearance of cellulite.
7. Kelp Body Wrap, Followed By Massage, 1.5 hrs $135
Organic seaweed is a rich source of organic proteins, minerals and vitamins including vitamins B12 (not found in land plants), vitamin E, and other nutrients. When applied to the skin, seaweed treatments act as a powerful detoxifier that draws out toxins and impurities, including heavy metals, while adding beneficial nutrients. It is said to have antioxidant properties that help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and it can be used to stimulate the body's circulation which helps to minimize cellulite while infusing the skin with moisture for a healthy glowing skin. Seaweed contains fatty acids to combat skin irritation and inflammation; and may assist with skin ailments such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. It may also be very beneficial for those who are trying to quit smoking, or to get rid of other toxins accumulations in the system. Seaweed is suitable for all skin types.
Caution: Please note that seaweeds are known to be particularly stimulating to the kidney system and the thyroid. Anyone with kidney or kidney system issues, or anyone taking thyroid medications is advised to request our Herbal Body Wrap instead in order to avoid over-stimulation of already sensitive body systems.
8. Aloe Vera Body Wrap, Followed By Massage, 1.5 hrs $135
This body wrap is especially helpful for dehydrated skin as it will help to nourish and revitalize your skin. Your body is treated with an all-natural aloe vera gel mask and wrapped while you enjoy a relaxing scalp massage. A massage is included in your session in order to enhance the cleansing and healing process.
9. Herbal Body Wrap, followed by Massage, 1.5 hrs $135
Herbal poultices and body wraps have just as long a history of use as do seaweeds. In fact, herbal wraps have been used for treating wounds, bruises, sore muscles, sprains, and various skin conditions for centuries, as well as for detoxification and beauty treatments. As you relax in the warmth of thermal blankets, your skin will be soothed and nourished, muscles will be eased, and toxins will be drawn from your body: an all-over enhancement to your cleansing experience. After showering you will receive a Swedish massage to help enhance the cleansing and healing process.

Backs are often forgotten when it comes to being part of our cleansing routine. Our Fresh Start Back Treatment is designed to thoroughly cleanse your back using the same fresh, natural ingredients that we use in our facials.
Warm herbal compresses will gently steam open the pores and help loosen dead surface skin cells that will then be removed with exfoliation. Swedish massage follows and then either a kelp or whole foods mask will be applied to continue the cleansing. As the treatment progresses, circulation throughout your back is increased and the detoxification process is enhanced. At the same time, you will feel relaxed and refreshed.
Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) Services
11. Naturopathic Consultation, 1 hr. $155; 30 min. $85
If you need additional naturopathic assessment or advice on advanced health conditions, our Dr. Maltais, N.D. with over 18 years of experience will be happy to help you. Dr. Maltais is a homeopathic physician and specializes in pain management, nutritional counseling, neural therapy, Bowen technique and skin revision.
12. Organ Screen, Sensitivities & Candida Test (EDST), 1 ½ hrs $260
Electro Dermal Screening Test (EDST) is an electro-acupuncture diagnostic method, which allows determining specific food sensitivities, Candida presence, as well as imbalance in the main body systems. This method was invented in the 1950's by the German Doctor Reinhold Voll whose name is given to another title of this treatment modality, EAV or Electro Acupuncture According to Voll.
Dr. Voll discovered that when an internal organ's function or structure changes, the performance of the related meridian and acupuncture points also changed, and that this change could be measured using the device. Much like measuring the flow of a river, if the flow is swift, it may be an indication that the corresponding organ or system is in a state of inflammation. A sluggish reading would point to a deficiency or fatigue in the organ or system.
EDST session is performed by N.D. and includes the test, the results report and a consult on how to work with the issues that came up during the test.
Please note that Fresh Start may not be able to accommodate food sensitivities discovered during your test. This information is for use in daily life when you get home. We will accommodate serious or severe known allergies that are indicated prior to arrival on your health forms. At this moment we are not able to provide a high level of instant customization of drinks. Please do not give the report with your findings to our chef or other staff. Thank you for your understanding.
13. Bowen Therapy by N.D., 1 hr $155; 30 min. $85
This unique technique helps lymph circulation and neuromuscular balancing, and can quickly alleviate common complains such as:
- Sciatica
- Lower back pain
- Knee pain
- Tendonitis
- Frozen shoulders
- Hip pain
- Skeletal and muscular problems from lumbar to neck
- Jaw problems
- Fibromyalgia
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Digestive complaints
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis pain
- and much more
In its essence, Bowen therapy resets the body to heal itself. Everyone can benefit from this technique, from newborns to elderly.
The Bowen Technique consists of a number of gentle movements over a client's muscles, bones and connective tissues at the precise location without sliding on the skin, first in their natural direction, and then in the opposite direction. This stimulates nervous system at the exact points requiring attention and makes surrounding fascia more fluid. As a result blood and lymph circulation at the site of injury increases, and healing accelerates. Bowen, the author of the technique compared it with guitar tuning, since the harmonious vibrations, created by this technique, rebalance body and can release blocked emotional energy.
14. B12 Shot by N.D., (B-shot) $45
A must to try for vegans! Often tremendously increases energy. Consult with N.D., to see whether you have symptoms of this important vitamin deficiency.
Benefits & Indications For Vitamin B12
- Vitamin B12 is a key element for preserving a balance in the human body.
- In combination with other B-group vitamins, vitamin B12 ensures the smooth functioning of vital life processes of the human body. It is important for maintaining a healthy nervous system and DNA production.
- Vitamin B12 helps to regulate the formation of red blood cells in the body.
- B12 is important in maintaining and increasing energy levels in the human body.
- If you suffer from bursitis, B12 is a key vitamin to hasten recovery. Talk with Dr. Maltais if you have this condition. People who have vegan and raw food diets often will have a deficiency and will need to consider taking it. Also, people who suffer from reflux or heartburn very likely are not absorbing B12.
- Vitamin B12 helps to curb atherosclerosis and counter heart diseases and thrombosis. The synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a compound involved in immune function and mood, depends on the association of foliate and vitamin B12.
- Studies indicate that absorption of Vitamin B12 decreases with an increase in age. Hence, an increased intake of vitamin B12 is extremely useful for adults above fifty. The recommended form of intake is via injection, since elderly people absorb this form better than food forms of vitamin B12. B12 aids in the cognitive function and heals neurological impairment within this group.
- B12 could be obtained from animal food sources (dairy and meat). No reliable plant sources have found to contain this vitamin in usable by humans form.
- Vitamin B12 can be taken in the form of supplements sublingually (good) or via injections (best) and is highly beneficial in various forms.
- Dr. Maltais uses methylcobalamin for Fresh Start clientele. Through this method, vitamin B12 can directly penetrate the bloodstream and yield numerous benefits. Methylcobalamin, the coenzyme form of vitamin B12 is the active form, which means that no metabolic steps are required for its ingestion and it can be used it in its normal form.
15. Vitamin B Complex Shot by N.D., (C-shot) $50
Vitamin B consists of a group of eight water soluble vitamins that co-exist in certain food items. The eight subtypes of vitamin B are vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) and vitamin B12 (cobalamin). In medical terms, nutritional supplements containing all these eight subtypes are called vitamin B complex or simply B complex. The role of vitamin B is crucial for the normal functioning of the body. To mention a few, it is responsible for promoting cell growth, cell division, skin health, immune system, nervous system and also in controlling the bodily metabolic processes. Hence, it is obvious that prolonged deficiency of vitamin B leads to certain health complications. Considering this, supplements are formulated in the form of vitamin B complex tablets and injections in order to combat the risks of vitamin deficiency. Let's discuss in brief about vitamin B complex injection and its dosage, benefits and side effects.
Vitamin B Complex Injections
Vitamin B complex injections are more effective in providing vitamin B to the body than other modes of administration (tablets, capsules and gels). The body enzymes and acids may alter the molecular structure of the vitamins once they are ingested. The injections are parenteral (not through digestive tract), most often administered intramuscularly or intravenously. They are more expensive than other B complex forms.
Vitamin B Complex Injection Benefits
Vitamin B complex injections aid in quick and maximum absorption of the vitamins by the body cells and tissues. Vitamin B complex injections are beneficial for people who have problems in taking oral vitamin supplements.
Vitamin B complex injections help with many conditions, including:
dermatitis, psoriasis, increased fatigue, neuritis, difficulty in assimilation, stomatitis, anemia, intoxication, fever, severe burns, pregnancy, increased metabolism, impaired digestive tract, prolonged diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, alcoholism, burnout conditions, exhaustion, excessive stress, adrenal exhaustion, and various other B vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin B injections are mostly used by athletes, children, vegetarians and adults over the age of 50.
16. Adrenal Support Injection, (A-shot) $50
As a rule, it is safe to think that people who require a "fresh start" and register to the cleansing program would benefit from an adrenal support. The adrenals are pea-sized glands that are located above the kidneys. Adrenal fatigue refers to a collection of signs and symptoms that result when these glands are functioning below an adequate level. Intense and prolonged stress, acute or chronic infections and other conditions can lead to adrenal fatigue. One of the main symptoms consists of fatigue that is not relieved by sleeping. The adrenal glands are responsible for the release of hormones that have an effect on energy production and storage, immune function, heart rate, muscle tone, and other processes that enable one to cope with stress.
The Composition of the New Adrenal Injection (A-Shot)
- METHYLCOBALAMINE AND HYDROXOCOBALAMINE: Two types of active B12
- AMP: adenosine mono-phosphate, the precursor to adenosine-tri-phosphate
- ATP energy storage molecule. Mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse) burn sugars and fatty acids to release energy.
- ATP drives all energy-requiring chemistry and biology in our bodies. It should provide a "pick-me-up" for fatigued adrenal exhaustion cases.
- CAFFEINE is a stimulant, but with quite complex biochemistry in various tissues of the body. Often it will synergize and amplify the ingredients in formulas, such as many common over-the-counter analgesics.
- CHROMIUM is a blood sugar balancer. The common denomitator in healthy aging is without any doubt balanced blood sugar.
- D-BIOTIN is a co-enzyme and plays a role in the metabolism of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. It may also play a major role in DNA replication as it interacts with the DNA binding proteins known as histones.
- METHYLFOLATE is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the body. By depleting excess homocysteine, folate benefits cardiovascular health and nervous system function.
- PROCAINE: is a tonic, particularly a neurotonic. It is used in neural therapy, and in geriatrics to reverse cognitive decline.
- PYRIDOXINE (B6) is required for utilization of energy in the food you eat, production of red blood cells and proper functioning of nerves.
- THIAMIN (B1) helps the body's cells change carbohydrates into energy. Carbohydrates provide energy for the body.
Dr. Lise recommends that you receive a minimum of 2 shots during your stay at Fresh Start.
Services for Improving Mobility & Muscular-Skeletal Function
17. Ortho-Bionomy 1 hr $105; 1 1/2 hrs $145
It is a gentle, non-invasive, technique with its roots in Osteopathy that has been effectively used in dealing with chronic stress, traumatic events (physical and emotional), and body pain, related to postural and structural imbalances. Ortho-Bionomy means the correct application of the laws of life. Its developer Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, believed that "it is the literal skeleton upon which our life is built. When your structure works right, your circulation works better, you feel better, you think better."
During this session you will be fully dressed. The gentle positioning and subtle compression and distraction techniques release tight muscles around the restricted areas. This results in a deep relaxation and activation of the body's self-correcting reflexes, which naturally bring the structure back into alignment. Unhealthy tension patterns resolve, while circulation, flexibility and range of motion increase. Additionally, rhythmic movements and isometrics or integrative exercises are used to help re-educate body for pain relief and self-healing, and reinforce the therapeutic effect of the treatment.
Ortho-Bionomy has been used for the following ailments:
- Neck and Back Pain
- Scoliosis
- TMJ Discomfort
- Frozen Shoulder
- Sciatica
- Knee Injuries
- Shock and Trauma Resolution
- Rib Problems
- Headaches
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Hiatus hernia
- Pregnancy care
- Post-op care
- Colon problems
18. Customized Massage Therapy 1 hr $105 1 ½ hrs $145
In addition to relaxation and relieving muscle tension, this treatment focuses on pain relief or/and deep tissue work. It is customized according to the needs of each individual after initial assessment by a Registered Massage Therapist. During the session the therapist uses a combination of techniques, including Deep Tissue, Muscle Energy technique, Myofascial Release, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation and Joint Mobilization.
19. Clavitherapy, 1 hr $105; 1 1/2 hrs $145
The technique was discovered in the 1960s by Doctor Ferdynand Barbasiewicz, of Poland, and has been researched and practiced for over forty years in Europe. It is new to Canada, and currently there are only thirteen practitioners, performing the therapy in this country. Clavitherapy is a unique method of detoxification that helps regulate the digestive, vegetative (brain function) and endocrine systems, and is applied in psychological and neurophysiologic rehabilitation. It optimizes metabolism, activates cortisone & stem cells; as well as helps to regulate emotions, excessive nervousness, and elevate mood.
The treatment is performed with the use of special tools called clavicles, which are placed on the scalp and skin. The therapist holds 14 clavicles in each hand and gently stimulates cranial nerves, central nervous system on the spine and peripheral nervous system. The clavicles do not penetrate the skin, but rather are held in place by the therapist to evoke a response. Acupuncture meridians, as well as reflex therapy elements may also be applied in this treatment. The therapy adjusts personal electrical potentials and helps restore lost conduction of nerve signals in nerve fibers. The lost nerve signals, along with hormonally and chemically changed blood are reasons for susceptibility to ill health.
Clavitherapy promotes healing and well-being, as well as has found to be effective for:
- Headaches, Migraines
- Disturbances of blood circulation to feet & hands
- Paresthesia (an abnormal sensation, as burning, prickling, and numbness)
- Cold limbs
- Low blood pressure
- High blood pressure
- Throat and gland infections
- Sinus problems
- Burning of the feet
- Back & Neck pain
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Rheumatism
- Sports injuries/trauma, frozen shoulder
- Bipolar extremes and other emotional health issues
- Conditions that result from a stroke
- Some neurologic symptoms (i.e. ALS, foot drop, M.S., Parkinson's)
Contraindications: Pacemaker, susceptibility to thrombosis/embolism or after organ transplantations, recent heart attack. For more info read: www.klawiterapia.com
Note: This therapy may feel a bit uncomfortable, especially for people with low pain tolerance level. Saying this, it may be very helpful to people with nerve numbness, related to prolonged restricted blood circulation (due to a fall, a car accident and other injuries, spine misalignment), as well as if a person has a lot of pain in their back, sciatica etc. It may be compared to deep tissue massage, where a temporary discomfort may be experienced. However, Clavitherapy is very different technique than deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage stimulates muscle, and clavitherapy – nerves.
Also please be aware that this treatment may be beneficial for people with some emotional health issues (see description above), but the action of this treatment is working through acupressure point release and work on nervous system. If you need to do more counseling or life coaching type of treatment, or to work deep seated emotions, it is best to use other emotional release techniques, described in the Emotional Health section.
20. Laser Therapy (Phototherapy), 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
Also good for support of emotional/adrenal health and sleep!
A special laser device is placed on specific areas of the body, including adrenals, thymus, vagus nerve and sacrum. Additionally, a few programs will be used for targeting problem areas. Relax, feel your breath deepening as the laser helps bring your hormonal system and entire body to homeostasis. The laser treatment is integrated with various massage therapy modalities.
Laser light can be very helpful for insomnia, pain relief, stress reduction, cravings related to smoking cessation, as well as being used to improve lymph circulation and enhance the immune system. According to published evidence, LT is at least equal to surgical and manual therapies for a range of pathologies including neck pain, tendonitis, tendinosis (chronic tendonitis), and osteoarthritis. It is also used for nerve and other tissue regeneration, soft tissue injuries, scars, chronic pain, especially temporomandibular-related pain, and wound healing.
How laser light works: it donates photons to the cells and stimulates production of ATP (energy of cells), important for growth and regeneration of the cell, much like sun rays stimulate plants to produce energy for growing big and juicy fruit. Laser Light also activates glands to produce hormones, acts positively on adrenals, and clears cellular memory, created as a result of stress and tension in the body. Tension traps energy and prevents its free flow through the body, which leads to rapid aging and disease. Everybody knows about the connection between stress and stomach ulcers. Tension and trapped inside energy can also adversely influence liver and pancreas, and other organs. Releasing this tension will improve blood circulation and enhance the healing abilities of the body.
21. Laser and Massage Combo, 1 1/2 hrs $135; 2 hrs $180
This treatment may be especially beneficial for people with intense back pain, as well as for those who have other types of persistent or severe muscle pain. It targets specific areas of pain and discomfort. Laser helps muscles relax and allows working them deeper.
22. Private Yoga Classes, 1hr $95

Massage, Reflexology & Shiatsu Treatments
24. Swedish Massage, 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135

27. Shiatsu, 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
In 1953 Marilyn Monroe became very ill while in Tokyo, Japan. She failed to respond to Western medical treatment. She received Shiatsu sessions every day for a week and had a remarkable recovery. Shiatsu was subsequently brought to North America due to its remarkable results. Shiatsu is a non-invasive physical therapy that stimulates the body's own healing powers. It is carried out in prone, supine and lateral or side position with the client dressed in comfortable clothes. The Shiatsu practitioner presses down on the areas of tension and holds each point for 3-5 seconds. He/she also uses stretching techniques to encourage full range of motion, and by opening the flow of energy many symptoms of imbalance are corrected (including pain, & feeling tired and unwell). Neuromuscular Shiatsu uses circular motions to ease the tension in sore or aching muscles, interrupting the pain cycle and facilitating free flow of energy and blood circulation. Most people find Shiatsu to be a deeply relaxing treatment and after the session find they have more vitality and energy.
Shiatsu helps improve function of muscles and joints and calm nervous system, as well as has been found to be effective in relief of many acute and chronic conditions including:
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck, back and shoulder pain
- Sciatica
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Thoracic outlet syndrome

Huna originates from Hawaii and is a beautiful and unique technique, using forearms, hands and elbows to flow. The flow is created by a special footwork that is described as a dance around the table. This dance with a variation of speed and pressure creates a rhythmical wave-like movement under and over the body allowing it to open and heal. The inner rhythm within the body allows people's bodies to come back into balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. For the full experience, book one hour and a half.
29. Reflexology, 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique that is directed at the feet, hands and ears. It is based on the principle that there are reflexes on hands and feet which correspond to all parts, glands and organs of the body. By stimulating more than 7,000 nerves in the feet, reflexology encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. It interrupts pain pathways, reducing pain. It improves immune function, by stimulating the lymphatic system. It cleanses the body of toxins, takes down swelling in the feet, ankles and legs, stimulates the production of endorphins. One feels an elevated mood and increased energy after the session. Reflexology is a tremendously relaxing holistic treatment which helps to improve circulation, soothes tired feet, and encourages the body to work naturally to restore its balance.

Our therapist has designed a selection of high quality natural fragrances that both men and women can enjoy – fragrances that appeal to different noses, from citrus and floral, to green and earthy. These perfumes have two huge advantages: they are very pure and natural, and at the same time the scent is long-lasting, unlike essential oils that evaporate quickly.

If desired, the perfume artisan will provide you with detailed information on each of multiple ingredients and its quality, and why specifically such a combination is chosen
Emotional Health & Energy Treatments
35. Acupuncture, 1 1/4 hrs $135
In addition to physical benefits experienced after an acupuncture session, many of our guests have found that it was helpful to them in release of long-term stored anxiety, fears, anger and other negative emotions that we often accumulate when going through a variety of life experiences. Sometimes we a feel certain way and do not know why, or do not know how to handle it. This is where this treatment can be helpful. Many guests have described this acupuncture as a transformational, life-changing and as one of the best things they've done for themselves in their lifetime.
Acupuncture is one of the most commonly used medical practices in the world. Specific points on the body are stimulated with very fine disposable needles to encourage the body to promote natural healing, improve functioning and restore health. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that pain and illness result from imbalances within the body. By needling specific acupuncture points imbalances can be corrected and internal organs influenced. Acupuncture helps balance the movement of energy to restore health and prevent illness gently and without side effects.
The World Health Organization recognizes that acupuncture is effective in treating:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- High blood pressure
- Diarrhea
- Acute and chronic gastritis
- Asthma
- High fever
- Neuralgia
- Acne
- Nausea and vomiting
- Post-operative pain
- Depression
- Headaches
- Knee pain
- Gastro spasm
- Dysmenorrheal
- Facial pain
- Diabetes
Disclaimer: Experience of each guest with this treatment is unique and varies from one person to another. We cannot guarantee the depth of emotional release, because it is a very personal matter and depends on a lot of factors.
36. Heart Healing Session with Theresa, 1 hr $95; 1 ½ hrs $135
Here is what our guests have said:
"I was hesitant to do this session, as I had life coaching before, and it was not very helpful to me. I went, because this service was suggested to me by the Program Director, and I trusted it may be good for me. I had experience with many life coaches before. Theresa works on more than just the mental level – she works also on spiritual and energetic levels, which is so crucial when you deal with addictions and behavioral patterns. Those cannot be addressed by merely talking about what you should or should not do. You need to be able to help the person start changing a pattern, and this is what Theresa was able to help me hugely with."
"Theresa has this amazing ability to take you to the very root of your issue. She was able to do in 1 hr the same work that it took for the counselor I worked with before 10 years."
The Heart Healing session with Theresa may be helpful to anyone who is dealing with fear, grief, uncertainty, or other life circumstances that feel beyond his/her control. It is for the person who needs to be heard and supported, to increase personal awareness, and to move forward.
We sincerely hope that this session will help one gain clarity in his/her sense of self and life direction, and to become witness of his/her authentic self. The practitioner will do her best to help you acknowledge your true natural way of being; together you'll discuss ways to notice and change behaviors that no longer serve you.
Here are the main areas of Theresa's specialties:
- Personal Growth
- Stress Management Coaching
- Bereavement Coaching
- Empowerment
- Achieving Balance
- Wellness related issues
- Organization & Productivity
- Spiritual awareness and growth
- Quit smoking coaching/ other addictions
37. Stop Smoking Coaching Sessions with Theresa
Cost of one session 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
An ex-smoker herself, Theresa went through withdrawal symptoms and was able to overcome the habit she loved and hated for many years. She'll be able to relate to how you feel if you are going through the same experience. If you are ready to make this big step in your life and to part with your "nicotine buddy" for good (whether you are planning to quit here or before), Theresa may be able to help you go through the grieving process and/or to address the void that you may feel in your heart and social surroundings, as well as some fears you may be dealing with after quitting.
Important Tips:
We hope you have already made a decision to leave cigarettes at home, maybe even to quit several days or weeks prior, or to smoke the last cigarette before leaving the airport. Such scenarios would be best, and not only because this may alleviate your physical detox symptoms. We have found that this is what most guests who come to us do and suggest others to do. This helps one commit 100% to accomplishing the goal and to be truly successful in overcoming the habit. It is so easy to think: "I'll do it tomorrow". The truth is: "There is no tomorrow". Tomorrow is the result of decisions and choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow is just a myth that does not exist. If you decide inside yourself, that it is your time, nothing, absolutely nothing will be able to stop you. And if you ask yourself a question: am I ready? Is this the right time for me to do it? – You'll know the answer instantly.
Note: If you are not ready to quit at the moment and come to us with different goals, this is totally ok. However, it is best if you know about it prior to coming, to avoid disappointment and to be able to accept it. We'll support you in that decision…
Yet if quitting smoking is truly your goal at this time, please make a solid plan how and when. It is so important! If you prefer to take the last cigarette at the time of your retreat with us, Theresa will be happy to help you develop the quitting plan. Just let us know in advance that this is the help you would like to receive from us.
What is included in your Stop Smoking Coaching Sessions with Theresa?
The description of the sessions below is just a sample, to share with you what Theresa can do for you. Your session will be unique to you and customized to your needs and situation.
Session 1 We would review your smoking history. Get you to look deeper into the reasons you started smoking. Everyone who smokes has their reasons for smoking. It may be a result of habit or addiction, or both. You may like how it makes you look or feel. Or, maybe you feel like it helps you relax, boosts your energy, gives you time to yourself, or helps you control your weight. Smoking could also be something that you share with others. I will tailor the tools necessary to best suit you and your needs. We will make a date to completely quit, if you haven't already done that. Before that date start noticing every time you go to have a cigarette. Ask yourself can I go without this one. Can I put it off a little longer? Start replacing the craving, the behaviour with positive behaviour and distractions. Like a glass of water.
Session 2 We will assess where you are in your process. Look to see if there are hidden subconscious beliefs that need to be addressed. We will make conscious and unconscious energetic adjustment so you have more control of the process. E.F.T. ®, T.A.T. ®, and Matrix Energetics® are tools I combine for this purpose. The results from these tools never cease to amaze me.
Learning to recognize your smoking triggers is an important part of quitting. When do you feel the urge to smoke? Common triggers include: drinking coffee or alcohol, relaxing after work or after a meal, walking, on the phone or when driving, feeling stressed or angry. Take a look at how you can break the association between smoking and your routines. Here I will provide you with TAT technique which is a quick and easy energetic way to stop the craving. On completion of second session we will also do matrix energetics, it is an energetic transformation technique which will shift your energetic patterns of addiction to one of non-addiction.
Session 3 The third session will be a follow up of how you are doing and where you still need help and encouragement. I will listen, and together we will assess and provide tools and a plan to help you continue on your journey of being a non-smoker.
Disclaimer: Please remember that the biggest part of success is your firm decision to be free from a habit, your readiness to let go of your old friend, whose friendship is toxic to your health and life. Is this pain big enough to let it go? Are you ready to let it go? Are you willing to let it go now? Remember that there is nothing more powerful and effective as human desire to change. We are here to support and encourage you. The same goes for all emotional health work you do with us.
*For maximum benefit we suggest that you take all 3 sessions; however, any number of appointments may be beneficial.
**The min number of appointments per day for this service is 2. It means that we need to have two people who book this type of services on the same day (or life coaching sessions), in order to be able to offer it. We apologize in advance for any possible inconveniences related to this.
38. Reiki Energy Work, 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
Reiki is an effective healing art originally from Japan that is being used in hospitals and other medical care facilities as means to help patients stay calm and relaxed. It is a very soothing technique and is done without removing clothes. Practitioner places his/her hands gently on various positions of the body and uses the same energy points as acupuncture. Reiki works by removing blockages of energy and tension, allowing blood and increased energy to flow more freely to the areas requiring healing. The many beneficial effects that can be achieved during a Reiki session include: pain relief, strengthening of immune system, relaxation, improved sleep, calming of restless thoughts, as well as feelings of peace, joy and wellbeing. Reiki benefits the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical levels of the body.
The one hour treatment includes a mini introductory session of transcendental meditation – the useful tool that you will be able to take home and use to help your mind focus during meditation.
39. Acupressure, 1 hr $95; 1 1/2 hrs $135
Acupressure is a body treatment that accesses and releases blocked or congested energy centers in the body, located along energy pathways called Meridians – the same pathways that are used in Acupuncture. When these centers are blocked, a person may experience a lot of physical and emotional discomfort and pain. Through the use of gentle, yet firm finger pressure on specific points and body-focusing techniques, Acupressure helps release physical and emotional tension, promoting a profound depth of relaxation.
Acupressure is accomplished with the client lying (supine) on the back while the therapist slides her hands underneath the client to push up and into the points within each client's comfort level, allowing a general release of the tension in the muscles, as well as in the mind, and increased energy flow. Specific points are held for 1 minute – 3 minutes. Long-held emotions may also surface and dissipate. Sessions are held in a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment.
*For your acupressure session, please wear soft, comfortable clothing (no belts preferred).
Acupressure has been effectively used by people with the following health conditions and symptoms:
- Tension and fatigue
- Nausea
- Stress-related headaches and migraines
- Poor blood circulation
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Back and shoulder pain
- Eye strain
- Sinus pain
- Allergies
- Hormonal imbalances, including PMS and menstrual problems
- Fibromyalgia
- Nerve and muscle disorders
- Shoulder, neck, leg and lower back pain
- Tennis elbow
- Muscle spasms
- Joint stiffness
- Teeth grinding
- Insomnia
- Electrolyte Imbalances
- Emotional trauma
- Depression
Laser Therapy (see the description earlier in this list) may also be helpful in the balancing of hormonal system, particularly adrenal glands and vagus nerves, and for enhancing healthful and deep sleep and relaxation. It also may be beneficial for people who quit smoking and want to decrease tobacco cravings.
Ayurveda and Aromatherapy Massage may also be beneficial for hormonal/emotional balancing, and addictions recovery.

41. Acupressure Facial (Non-Surgical Face Lift), 1 hr $95
Acupressure facial helps correct the internal imbalances that create the face's wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, dark circles, or bags under the eyes. It encourages lymph drainage and enhances the skin's ability to breathe. It stimulates the skin's own ability for collagen production, softening the skin and smoothing wrinkles, and promotes normal secretion from the sweat and oil glands. It also regulates and stimulates internal organ system function and promotes muscle contraction. In addition to its beautifying effects, this treatment also may alleviate chronic neck pain, sinus issues or eyestrain related pain, and headache.
42. Foot Health Treatment, 1 hr $85
This treatment consists of a soothing foot soak, customized exfoliation, and a kelp, clay mask or herbal application, followed by a relaxing foot massage using customized essential oil blends, and a natural cream application. This treatment may be beneficial for relieving pain and conditions due to:
- Swelling
- Plantar fasciitis
- Diabetes
- Dry skin
- Plantar warts
- Poor circulation
- Foot eczema
- Plantar warts
- Calluses
43. Hot Stone Hand Care Treatment, 1 hr $85
This spa treatment includes a sea salt soak, options of salt glow, coffee or sugar scrub exfoliation, combined with aromatherapy, a mask of your choice, relaxing arm and hand massage with hot stones, and all natural moisturizing hand lotion.
44. Ear Candling, 45 min $95; $15 for each add. 3rd pair of candles, if necessary (rare)
This wonderful relaxing treatment may be effectively used by those who have sinus pressure; sore throat, cold symptoms, migraines, chronic earaches, TMJ, gradual deterioration of hearing (only if it is related to wax build-up) and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Even if none of these are present, it may be still beneficial for everyone and has been enjoyed by many guests due to its utterly relaxing nature. While the ear candling is done, the practitioner will also do some acupressure on the face, sinuses, head and neck. If there is still time left, she may perform "ear balancing" – an orthobionomy technique helping open Eustachian (ear) tubes and clear congestion in the head. All of these will help cleansing performed by ear candling itself.
During this treatment we use 4 high-quality bees wax candles. This is what is so different about them:
- Made with natural unbleached cotton and pure bee wax, free of chemicals;
- Infused with synergistic blend of herbs and flower essences to enhance cleansing and healing. The herbal blend is a combination of sweet grass, sage, lavender, cedar and comfrey. The Flower Essence blend is arnica, black current, buttercup, white yarrow, Labrador tea, Echinacea;
- Are longer than many usual candles (10 inches long), as well as are triple dipped in wax. This makes the candles burn longer, more evenly and produce much better results than cheaper versions (at least from our experience and feedback of clients who had ear candling before).
45. Head, Hair and Scalp Treatment 45 min $70
This treatment includes a head and scalp massage, application of the custom blend of nourishing organic oils, and a neck and shoulder, or facial massage. It helps activate hair growth, relax, distress, let go of an active mind, and is good for those who have braking and split hair, eczema or dryness of the scalp. It feels amazing and may put you to sleep, or make you sleep later like you dream for…
Important Notes:
Our body work is based on a principle of getting maximum results with maximum gentleness. However, please be aware that after deep tissue body work (acupressure, sports/ deep tissue massage, clavytherapy, orthobionomy etc.) you may feel some muscle soreness and discomfort. This is a normal aftereffect of this kind of treatments and should go away within several days, in some cases it may take up to a week.
Some people may not feel any of the aftereffects at all, while others do more. The last one is especially true in cases of old and advanced structural issues, as with fibromyalgia. If you prefer just gentle treatments, or are super sensitive to firm touch and prefer to avoid it, please notify our booking personnel and therapists working with you. However, it is possible to experience muscle soreness after any bodywork.
* All Fresh Start Spa Services are subject to availability of therapists. We apologize in advance if we are unable to provide certain services to you. Spa Prices are subject to change without notice.
** 30-min Sessions are available for: custom massage (except RMT, lymphatic drainage and hot stone), Reiki, Shantis/ Shrantanis, shiatsu, reflexology, facial, acupressure, and acupressure facial at $50, as well as ortho and clavytherapy for $55.
Colon Hydrotherapy
What does the procedure look like?
You will fully maintain your personal dignity. The treatment is done in a private room, with just you and your therapist, who fully appreciates the sensitivity of the colonic procedure and makes it her goal to help you feel at ease. You will even get a pair of stylish shorts with a little opening at the back! After the gentle insertion of the speculum, you are again completely covered, and sterile, purified water is used to gently flush the colon of toxins, parasites, undigested food, mucous, yeast, and hardened old fecal matter. Abdominal massage, performed during the session, will help to gently loosen toxic waste, and stimulate the nerves to release the contents in the bowel.
Does it hurt?
It is rarely painful. There may be some cramping, but it is brief and easily tolerated. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and experience a sensation of feeling lighter, clean, clear, and energized afterwards. For those who don't, as a therapist I am also encouraged. A difficult colon therapy session signals a distressed colon and progress being made to change that state.
How long does it take?
A session takes approximately 45 minutes.
Will it smell?
There is no mess, odor, or sound with a colonic.
Will I leak?
Most people don't leak. Part of the colon therapist's job is to diminish your chance of leaking by controlling the water flow and listening to you.
Will I make a mess all over?
After colon hydrotherapy will I need to be close to the toilet all day?
No, this is not a worry.
I Want to Know More: What Physically Happens During a Session?
Once you and your therapist have discussed the procedure and you feel more at ease with your new health venture, the two of you should establish your goals. Keeping your goals in mind, your therapist will typically advise you at this point of the schedule of colon cleansing that you will need to plan on in order to accomplish your goals. A series of colonics is generally required to bring the body back to a state of optimal health.
Before starting the actual procedure you are given a pair of flannel shorts, a towel and asked to remove appropriate clothing. Then, you need to empty your bladder in the near-by toilet so your session won't be interrupted.
After lying down on a comfortable padded table, a lubricated disposable speculum, having a tapered end, is gently inserted into the rectum. The tapered end is actually a separate piece that is removed after insertion and discarded. This is called an obturator. It is designed so that the insertion is not uncomfortable, nor damaging to any rectal tissue. The speculum is then attached to two tubes. The smaller tube delivers the filtered, temperature controlled water to the speculum and your colon, while the larger tube carries the fecal waste to the colon therapy machine. The colon therapy machine is attached to the building's plumbing system so that all waste is discretely moved from your body into the plumbing without offensive odor or embarrassment. During your colonic sessions, your therapist will always make sure your modesty and comfort needs are addressed.
The machine has a viewing tube with special lighting that allows you to see and the therapist to examine what is coming out of your body. This provides you both an opportunity to discuss what is happening and for you to ask any questions regarding what you see. Additionally you can see what happens in the tube (remember you are under a blanket covered) in the large mirror hung at your feet.
During an average 35-50 minute session, a colon hydrotherapist infuses 30-50 gallons of filtered water into a client. At any one "fill", you may have between a pint and 2 quarts of water in your colon. During a fill, only the volume of water that feels comfortable for you is introduced. Once you feel full, you tell the therapist and the water is then released. Your colon empties out into the drainage tube carrying with it fecal and toxic matter that has been dislodged. This filling and emptying continues, along with abdominal massaging, for the entire session.
This repetitive filling with water not only flushes wastes out the colon, but it also stimulates the colon to contract. This contracting of the colon is called peristalsis. This is the same muscular action that the stool stimulates as it moves through the colon. In this way, colon cleansing with water is gentle and yet extremely effective because as you clean the colon, you are strengthening the colon muscles. This is why colon cleansing, if not used excessively, is not addictive, like laxatives, but is strengthening to your colon. Laxatives use chemicals to stimulate bowel movements, which is quite unnatural. Using water to cleanse your colon can be an excellent way to bring about optimal bowel function.
Once you and your therapist feel you are done, you sit on the toilet for 5-15 minutes. Having a squatting stool available at the toilet can make a big difference since a squatting stool allows the body to assume a position more conducive to comfortable expelling of colon waste. It is better if you really take your time while emptying on the toilet to bring about a full evacuation of the bowels as well as to increase your confidence that you won't have an accident on your way home.
Is There Any Time I Shouldn't Have Hydrotherapy?
Yes. If you have uncontrolled hypertension or congestive heart failure, aneurysm, severe anemia, GI hemorrhage/perforation, severe hemorrhoids, renal insufficiency, cirrhosis, carcinoma of the colon, fistulas, abdominal hernia, recent colon surgery (less than three months) or are in the first and third trimester of pregnancy, you shouldn't have colon hydrotherapy, unless approved by your doctor.
What Do Medical Doctors Have To Say About Colon Hydrotherapy?
Out of forty thousand clients with gastrointestinal disease, Doctor Morton Walker had to use surgery in only twenty. Using bowel cleansing, exercise and diet he was able to help the rest. Other naturopathic and medical doctors found colon hydrotherapy helpful for enlarged prostate, bladder problems, cancer, allergies, arthritis, asthma, acne, chronic fatigue, headaches, pigmentation, pot belly, skin rashes, internal tumors, toxic occupational exposure and many others. For a more detailed account of medical opinion, go to www.tldp.com Read the article entitled, "Value of Colon Hydrotherapy Verified by Medical Professionals" by Morton Walker.
How Often Should I Have Colon Therapy?
During the cleansing program, if there are no contraindications, typically we see guests doing 2-3 colonics during 7-day, about 3-6 during 14-day and 4-8 during 21-day programs. The reason is that colonics enhance the results of the cleansing. This frequency is suggested only during the cleansing program.
In an ideal world colon hydrotherapy would be a totally unnecessary procedure. If people drank enough fluids, ate an all raw food diet, had a genetically strong digestive system, and were not exposed to chemicals or undue stress, digestive issues may not exist. However for most people regular colon cleansing can be a very healthy choice. There is no one prescription for all. If not on a Detox program, some might benefit from having a colonic once a month; others prefer a series of colonics once in three months, as the seasons change or once a year. Most find that after a colonic experience, they feel much better. It is this renewed vitality that is your guide. Keep it in mind. As soon as you find it diminishing, have a colon therapy session or a series of enemas.
You'll find that in doing this you might feel better instantly. Unfortunately, we do not live in environments that promote optimal health. It is a good thing that we have tools like colon hydrotherapy available to help our bodies return to better health.

If there's one word that Felipe Chavez uses often, in different variations, it's "big." As owner of Brookfield Family Restaurant, located in the Harvard Square strip mall on Bluemound Road, Chavez is primarily referring to the number of items on the menu.
"We offer a little bit of everything," he explained. "Greek food, Mexican, American … My menu is huge."
There's the big selling point of the Brookfield Family Restaurant - a little bit of everything with something for everyone. Chavez opened the restaurant in early 2010 in a space that formerly housed one of the beloved Heinemann's restaurants. Although Brookfield Family Restaurant isn't trying to be Heinemann's, it clearly appeals to a similar clientele.
"I've been in the restaurant business for 25 years," Chavez said. "I had a restaurant in Iowa for 20 years and then moved to this area to be near family. I liked the location because there didn't seem to be many family restaurants in the area. Everything is cooked fresh, from scratch. The amount of work it takes to run this restaurant is humongous, but I love it."
Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Brookfield Family Restaurant menu offers many traditional "family restaurant foods" but also features Greek and Mexican favorites for those that enjoy something a little different.
According to Chavez, breakfast is, hands-down, the most popular meal at the restaurant, which he attributes to the large variety. Some breakfast favorites include a breakfast sundae ($6.99), eggs Benedict ($6.99) and baked oatmeal ($5.29).
If you go for lunch, Brookfield Family Restaurant offers virtually every type of sandwich, whether it's a gyro ($7.59), a panini ($7.29 to $7.99), a wrap ($7.59 to $8.59) or a triple-decker club ($8.29 to $8.59.) But if you're watching your waistline or just want something healthy, there are several salad options such as the low-calorie chicken breast salad with lots of fresh veggies ($8.29.)
During dinner, the variety continues, and Chavez points out that the Friday fish fry ($9.99) is an overwhelming favorite. In addition to regular menu items, there are specials that change daily.
And although the menu at the Brookfield Family Restaurant is huge, Chavez wants his customers to know this: "Anything that you request - we can make just about anything. Whatever a customer likes to eat, we can fix it. Once you see my menu, you'll say wow!"

Installed HIDs..
I installed my HIDs from DDM tuning and am having some problems with them. They don't always want to shut off whenever I turn them off. If they do turn off the first time, they usually flash for about ten seconds before fully going out. They also dont always come on. Any ideas why they're doing this? Also, how would I disable the feature where my low beams flash on when I unlock my jeep? Thanks!

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
According to ESPN.COM, the Texas Rangers have signed 41-year-old slugger Manny Ramirez to a minor league contract. Ramirez was assigned to Triple-A Round Rock and will report Thursday, according to MLB.COM. Ramirez had spent this past year playing in Taiwan and had been performing well, hitting .352 with 8 home runs and 43 RBIs. Taiwan had enjoyed having Manny, with one announcer calling one of his home runs "gone like an ex-girlfriend who will never return."
"My Salary is the minimum wage, but for me it's too much money, I feel blessed spiritually; I have no words to describe how happy I am," Ramirez told ESPN's Enrique Rojas. The Texas Rangers are hoping Manny will do well in Round Rock, as they are in are need of a right-handed bat. The Rangers will monitor Ramirez's progress closely while in Triple-A.
Texas slugger Nelson Cruz played against Ramirez in the Dominican Winter League this past offseason and said that Manny looked like the same old Manny, Cruz recalls Manny blasting two home runs on hard hit line drives.
"What I saw, he looked good," Cruz told Enrique Rojas.
"The Bible says that we have to be passed through the fire to see what we're made of. I went through the fire and then came my blessing," Manny told ESPN.
Ramirez last played professionally in 2011, when he appeared in just 5 games because of suspensions for elevated testosterone levels. Only time will tell if Many will be of any help or or if he will just prove to be the distraction he often was during his time with several teams in the major leagues.

Home Buying Fair to help employees stay local
Coastal Housing Partnership will host event on Saturday at Earl Warren
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Coastal Housing Partnership is hoping to create a path to home ownership for local employees this weekend at the Home Buying Fair.
The fair takes place at the Earl Warren Showgrounds on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Warren Hall.
There will be more than 40 exhibitors and home buying how-to sessions. The goal is to help people live where they work and to retain the workforce in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
Sam and Kelly Ferguson were glad to bring their newborn boy Grover to their very first home just a month after they moved in.
"If you told us a year ago that we would own a home in downtown Santa Barbara, I would have been totally flabbergasted by that thought because we just had no idea that was possible," said Kelly.
Buying a home can be a little overwhelming but the couple was able to get the help they needed and even save about $4,000 with the help of the Coastal Housing Partnership.
"Our goal is to make it easier for local employees to become homeowners," said Corby Gage, executive director.
Sam is a paramedic with AMR and Kelly is a nurse at Cottage Hospital. Cottage is one of the more than 40 employer partners that pay into the housing program.
"It's huge," said the Fergusons in unison. "It's a great benefit."
Coastal Housing helped them couple through the whole process from real estate agents, lenders and everything in between.
"It's daunting when you first go in. I mean we didn't know anything about real estate, anything about all the legal processes. Anything. And they kind of walk you through and they hook you up with the people you need to be talking to," said Sam.
Now the family has a home they can call their own.
"That's what we live for, that is absolutely exciting for us. We hear those stories every day and we feel we've really accomplished something and accomplished our mission," said Gage.
Saturday's event is expected to draw a crowd of about 500.
The public is invited to attend. Admission is free if your employer is a member of the Coastal Housing Partnership and $5 for all others.

Lest you think "cloud" is just a big deal within the communications industry, think again.
On Friday, shares of Workday Inc., a developer of HR software for companies, debuted at $48.05, up from the initial proposed range of $21-$24, amid clamor for cloud-based applications. Investors and analysts see Workday as a prime example of organizations' demand for alternatives to pricey in-house data centers and the need for SaaS applications. With Workday's model, customers buy computing capacity as needed, rather than paying big licensing and maintenance fees.
Workday has experienced comms industry executives behind it. The founder is Dave Duffield, who ran PeopleSoft before the hostile Oracle acquisition. Duffield also brought on other PeopleSoft alums when he started Workday.
The company's surprisingly large IPO underscores investors' appetite for alternatives to traditional computing methods as cloud grows in recognition outside of the communications field. In turn, Workday's success on Wall Street on Friday brought attention to Oracle, SAP and Citrix, all of which were trading higher as well.
At 1:01 p.m. Eastern, Workday shares had risen 78 percent to $49.84.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Somebody had to be near this place and save her!
Not to worry, someone is on it.
Not me though.
I think this is my favorite machine. I don't think it is a bad price.
No stitch selectors to gum up.
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
I am using my 401 now as the machine of the hour (my collection takes turns) It is a wonderfu machine and no one should be sorry to have it!
I do love my new 401 as well.
Oooooh, I do love that sewing machine, and in the cabinet. Too bad I am too far away to run out and get it. BTW, Miriam, I love your new avatar--you, younger, or a grandkid?????
Make every day count for something!
I could not find it...

I've done a few searchs on this one, and had some unlucky results. Is the Blitz LM drop in panel filter any good? I'm not looking for any performance gains, just a filter that's reuseable and does it's job w/o harm. My stock filter gets way too dirty since the silencer delete & I do not want to put the silencer back on. I'd prefer the Blitz over a K&N or Perrin dropin because those require oiling. I don't really want to deal with the extra oiling. The Blitz model says no oil required. One thing I did hear about the Blitz filter is that it is made of stainless steel & filters dirt badly. I'm not for certain the tread was refering to the drop in LM filter or the LM "cone" filter. Can anyone verify what material this one is made of and if it is a good filter.
Picture of said filter:
