Feeling like a Princess at JustNatural Holistic Spa

Katrina Richard

JustNatural Holistic Spa’s new aesthetician Katrina Richard made me feel like a Disney princess in my very own little “castle” during my spa manicure treatment. From the moment I arrived at the spa, it was as if I was swept away to faraway magical enchanted place with my very own fairytale tent to be pampered. I felt like a little girl getting her nails painted for the very first time–giddy with excitement to pick my colours. Yes, I went with princess colours of course–purple! I bet you’re surprised I didn’t go with my usual pick: turquoise! With spring right around the corner in a mere two weeks, it is time for a change and if there was no change there would be no more butterflies. Katrina’s friendly service, kind heart, and creative skills made her the perfect choice for my girly day at the spa! From the variety of nail lacquer, warm tranquil ambiance, relaxing music, to her chic décor, Katrina gave me an incredible spa experience, while using pomegranate scented natural products on my winter-weathered dry hands. Everyone deserves to be a countess for a day! I’m ready to come out of my winter cocoon, spread my wings, and FLY. Where shall I fly next?

Please come as you are, Jessica believes that everyone and all bodies benefit from Yoga. She specializes in teaching small group and one-on-one yoga classes for the whole family. Her multi-level beginner friendly classes are fluid, flexible, and allow for breaks, especially if practicing with a little one. Her theme-based classes focus on mindfulness practices, breath linked movement, core yoga fundamentals, the benefits of yoga, while deepening one’s practice, mentally, physically, and spiritually. She incorporates guided meditations and modifications to support people through the movements and allows for various pose options so clients can choose their own difficulty level. Jessica’s one of a kind teaching style is a blend of Vinyasa, Hatha, Iyengar, Restorative/Yin, with a touch of freedom & fun to flow intuitively and creatively through the postures. There’s no one right way to practice yoga. If you’re breathing, you’re practicing yoga.

“Practicing with Jessica was the first time I ever practiced in a studio. She made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the first day. She  was calm and comforting and never made anyone feel unwanted in her class.  Her classes offered modifications on every pose. And I never left a class without feeling refreshed.  I sure miss her classes!” -Darla

“It’s a pleasure to submit this testimonial about a great yoga teacher. Working with Jess has helped me build core strength and gain control over my flexibility and use muscles I wasn’t even aware I had! I have adopted and continue to practice all these years later. I’d never done yoga before meeting Jess. She focused on our scrunched up office bodies and I quickly became hooked on gently and intensely stretching with her gentle yet firm and interactive approach. I loved these classes so much. Probably the best money you could spend on you and your body. She is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever found. Thank you.” -Robin

Expanded Roots and Renovated: JustNatural Holistic Spa

JustNatural Holistic Spa

JustNatural Holistic SpaJustNatural Holistic Spa has expanded and has a brand new location in downtown Timmins! The first time I visited Chrislynn at JustNatural Holistic Spa  in the winter of 2014, I sampled the best of what the at-home spa had to offer; I partook in a sensory journey which included: a warm foot soak treatment, leg scrub, a full facial, back massage, and body scrub, mask, and wrap. With Chrislynn’s one-on-one spa care and unique personal touches, my hyperactive and busy-body soul was quickly soothed in the serene and tranquil environment. My second visit to JustNatural Holistic Spa was recently this summer when I had the opportunity to see the spa in its full glory after its recent renovations at its new location. Chrislynn graciously took the time out of her day to give me a tour of the new facility. From the moment I walked into the spa I felt as if I was transported to a modern urban spa in a big city abroad. The vaulted ceilings, natural wood frames, modern décor, and down to earth accents make the spa one of kind in the northern region. It wasn’t long before I found myself in the spa boutique sampling products and making myself right at home. I can’t wait to try out one of their uniquely designed services.

Sampling the Best of JustNatural Holistic Spa

JustNatural Holistic SpaChrislynn from JustNatural Holistic Spa took me through a sensory experience of the many spa treatments at her at-home spa in Timmins, Ontario. Chrislynn’s one-on-one spa care and unique personal touches adds to the serenity and relaxation at the spa. I have been to many spas, but never to an at-home spa and I can say that JustNatural Holistic Spa Spa holds the same standards, if not higher than any other spa. As a natural and holistic spa, Chrislynn uses only all natural and organic products (which I too believe in) to promote health and wellness. Continue reading
