Certified colon hydrotherapist Cheryl Tyler established Infinity Health & Wellness Center as a means to help others gain control of their health through the use of colonics. With assistance from registered nurse Ruth Davidson—a walking testament to the weight-loss effects of colonics—Cheryl and company are able to naturally restore balance to digestive tracts exhibiting signs of bloating, fatigue, and IBS. To gain these results, trained hydrotherapists only use a FDA-registered colonic machine sterilized with UV light, disposable speculums, and water so pure it freezes upon hearing swear words. To enhance the treatment, clients can opt for the deluxe colonic, which includes an electrolyte-rich energy drink, or tack on a foot reflexology treatment.

From within Queens' Club Fitness, Infinity Spa Salon strikes an effective balance between natural skincare and advanced aesthetic treatments. Located a short distance from New York City, aestheticians clear and brighten complexions with seven types of facials infused with vitamin C and hydroquinone-free lightening ingredients, and they also use the exfoliating powers of mechanical microdermabrasion. Unwanted hairs can be effortlessly removed using an all-natural, beeswax-infused formula from GiGi or the advanced technology of an Alma Soprano XL laser, which permanently removes hair from any skin type including ghosts' see-through complexions. In massage treatment rooms, therapists rely on 10 different modalities, including the ancient techniques of Thai massage and shiatsu, to release tight muscles and improve circulation.

Infinity's focus on harmony is also apparent in the salon and spa's interior design, which melds contemporary decor with natural earth elements, such as bamboo plants and warm brown walls.

Whether an individual, corporate entity, or educational institution, each of Vanessa's clients saves time and might become superhuman.

When one of the cofounders of Easy Balance Wellness Center and Spa was diagnosed with cancer in her 30s, her doctor put her on the most aggressive chemo and radiation therapies available. As her immune system fought the cancer, her body absorbed the side effects. A longtime friend recommended acupuncture to counteract the suffering; though she was initially skeptical of the holistic procedure, she agreed to give it a try. After just one appointment, she felt her senses awaken. Further treatments permanently changed the way she looked at health care, making her feel like a brand-new person and convincing her to share her discoveries with as many people as she could.

At Easy Balance Wellness Center and Spa, she does just that, combining venerated Eastern wisdom with professional spa products to deliver healing massages and rejuvenating facials. Within earth-toned treatment rooms draped with russet curtains, massage therapists ease muscle tension and redirect chi—the energy that regulates the body’s functions and suppresses its natural appetite for hangnails—with focused acupressure techniques. Thalgo facials employ marine botanicals, such as regenerative algae, to nourish and hydrate complexions.

Though it offers traditional spa and salon services—hair, facials, waxing, massage, etc.—Age of New Beginnings Spa is not a static spa. The licensed and insured professionals provide onsite and on-location spa services, meaning clients can visit the spa for relaxing getaways or have the staff visit them in their homes, offices, or covered wagons. Along with single services, staffers also host custom spa bridal parties, office parties, and birthday parties.

Not stopping at traditional treatments, Age of New Beginnings offers an eclectic menu of holistic healing services including hypnotherapy, psychic readings, and meditation. Instructors also exercise groups with a variety of classes ranging from yoga, belly dancing, and boot camp to ballroom dances such as the waltz, salsa, and tango.

White Lotus Massage and Yoga's diverse staff fosters a relaxed, noncompetitive environment where clients can pursue their holistic wellness goals through massage-therapy services and a robust schedule of yoga classes. A FAR infrared heating system warms the yoga practice space up to healing temperatures designed to detoxify the body and loosen muscles, tendons, and minds in preparation for yoga’s soothing stretches. A textured flooring system provides support, comfort, and grip so students can perform Yin yoga's long-held balancing postures or Vinyasa's flowing movements with confidence. White Lotus' skillful massage therapists ease physical and emotional tension with unique massage modalities, such as owner Carolyn Calvacca's signature Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy method. While maintaining balance with overhead bars, Carolyn carefully places her feet along the client's body in gliding strokes, providing a deep yet relaxing muscle-mashing treatment.
