Dr. Jeremy Ciano of RevolutionEyes runs a Top Five Eyewear business while operating as the official optometrist for the Indiana ICE, and Dr. Katherine Schuetz is a pediatric optometrist who can healthy-up the orbital see-machines of infants as young as six months. A RevolutionEyes exam lasts roughly 20 minutes and uses the cutting-edge optomap camera, which provides a 200-degree view that more often than not bypasses the need for uncomfortable dilation to dive into a vision-ball's deepest secrets.

At Aqua Aesthetic Studio, a licensed staff of professionals bestows attention and care upon clients by way of facials, massages, and body wraps. Whether it's an aesthetician concocting personalized skincare products, a massage therapist tenderizing tense muscles with deep-tissue bodywork, or a skin specialist applying a chamomile and marine-algae body wrap, every service arrives at the common destination of inner peace, outer beauty, and skin as healthy as an immortal's immune system. Although all guests are made to feel as if they're the center of the universe, Aqua Aesthetic Studio salutes the community outside its walls by donating beauty products and food to women's shelters and children in need.

After developing 2,100 barren square feet into a fully custom, comfort-minded space, Dream Weaver Salon & Day Spa opened its doors on August 15, 1999, with a small staff of five pulchritude purveyors. Later expanding to 3,500 square feet and broadening its staff to nine stylists, three nail technicians, three massage therapists, three aestheticians, and three disoriented musketeers, Dream Weaver blossomed into the vast full-service salon and spa flower it is today. A dramatic rounded arch separates the waiting area from the rest of the space, where the certified staff perform a range of beautifying services, including coif coloring, haircuts, mani-pedis, facials, and anxiety-slaying massages.

The massage therapists at Zen Spa & Healing Center don’t just induce relaxation during massages; their trained hands also work to curb headaches, back pain, and anxiety. Each massage targets specific areas to release tension and improve circulation, with additional help from hot stones and aromatherapy. And unlike staffers at many spas where a 60-minute massage only lasts for 50 minutes, Zen Spa's staff spends the full 60 minutes massaging their clients. They make sure to fully address the causes of any maladies, rather than simply the symptoms. The therapists also team up to provide couples massages for pairs of significant others, friends, or clients and their favorite stuffed animals.

Heather Hasty defines the word anature as meaning from the earth, a concept she tries to uphold in each of her massage and bodywork services. The owner and head therapist at Anature Massage & Wellness, which is located inside Sola Salon, incorporates organic creams and lotions into each of her treatments, which focus on natural and alternative methods of pain relief such as stretching, reflexology, and distracting the pained muscles with a muscle-size Rubik's cube.

After more than 700 credit hours, Heather earned her massage-therapy certification in 1995, but she didn’t stop there. Instead, she continues to upgrade her repertoire with new massage techniques including trigger point, Asian reflexology, and Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy, which concentrates on restoring circulation to deep muscles with blocked blood or lymphatic flow.

When she’s not in the studio, massage therapist Megan Garrison can often be seen at community festivals and charity events, treating visitors with mobile chair massages. When she is in the studio, Megan treats specific tensions and other ailments with a blend of five massage modalities: deep-tissue, reflexology, Swedish, hot-stone, and warm-bamboo techniques. In many of her treatments, she incorporates additional products such as Moor Spa tension balm, Badger headache soother, Fall River Botanicals herbal pain cream, and Biotone massage cream. She also spreads her knowledge to couples in private massage classes, teaching lovers how to undo muscular tension and exploit each other’s Achilles’ heels during tickle fights.
