It’s time for Mother’s Day, when we honor the women in our life who care for us and the loved ones we share. It doesn’t feel like there are enough words or the perfect gift to thank someone who means the world to us. Whether she’s a brand new mom or a proud grandmother, she deserves to be recognized in a special way. But how?
Flowers are a traditional favorite, and it’s hard to go wrong with chocolate, but unlike a mother’s love, they don’t last forever. Of course, it’s hard to go wrong with jewelry, but let’s face it — sometimes we don’t quite “get” her style. And restaurant gift cards can seem so impersonal. “Why not a spa day?”, you might ask. You may be onto something.
A gift certificate for a mani-pedi, a facial, or massage could be a nice treat for the mom in your life, but proceed with caution. Many women are loyal to a particular spa — or even a particular service provider — so it would be best to know her preferences beforehand. Otherwise, your kind gesture may find its way to the bottom of a drawer rather than filling a coveted place on her busy planner.
May I offer a suggestion? Try sending Mom to a new kind of spa, BluZone, where we offer clients several kinds of therapy that heal their body from the inside out. A mani-pedi or a facial will make you feel pretty for a couple of weeks, but those treatments are only effective for the outer layers of your body. A massage goes a bit deeper into the muscles, but the aches will return before too long. If you want to give Mom a present that can promote permanent positive change for her bodily health, consider giving her the gift of BluZone.
If you bless your Mom with a BluZone gift card, she can use it towards any of our modalities, which include: IV Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and our specialized Weight Loss Program.
About IV Therapy
Normally you wouldn’t want your mom to receive intravenous fluids because that would probably mean she is sick and in the hospital. At BluZone, our IVs are given to healthy people who are looking for a boost in hydration, immunity, vitamins, and energy. We have custom cocktails available to meet your mom’s needs, whether she is an athlete preparing for (or recovering from) a major event, a businesswoman who is perpetually traveling all over the country, or a mom who wound up with the flu after her kids brought it home from school.
Being a mom can be hard on the body at any age, but our senior citizen moms and grandmothers are especially susceptible to dehydration and illness. A BluZone IV could boost their vitality so that they can keep up with the younger people in their care. (And maybe the young people will have to work hard to keep up with them!)
About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may be the most unique therapy in the world and BluZone Spa is the only place in Maryland that offers it! Clients who receive HBOT therapy spend 90 minutes in a pressurized chamber where they can breathe in 100% pure oxygen. The oxygen makes its way to their cells, which reproduce faster and better than ever before. Over the course of a series of sessions, the body heals itself from the inside out. Clients report reduced symptoms of pre-existing conditions, fully healed wounds, better respiration, clearer thinking, less anxiety, and a lot more energy.
As I mentioned earlier, it’s nice to have a trip to the salon or the day spa, but those are therapies that improve moms at the surface layer. Why not offer the mom in your life the opportunity to rebuild her body so that she can live a healthier, happier, longer life?
About the Weight Loss Program
I know what you’re thinking. Why would I want to tell my mom she needs to lose weight? Okay, if your mom hasn’t brought it up to you in a serious “Can you help me with this?” kind of a way, you can skip this part. But, if your mom — or you — are looking for an easy and effective way to lose weight quickly — and permanently, keep reading.
BluZone’s Weight Loss Program consists of five parts:
1. Semaglutide and B-vitamin injections
- Semaglutide is a popular weight loss drug that works by regulating your pancreatic enzymes so that you don’t feel hungry. The B-vitamin supplement provides your body with additional energy.
2. IV therapy
- The program begins with a detox IV designed to flush all the bad stuff out of our system so you can start loading up on the good.
3. Nutritional counseling
- Heather Lamb, BluZone’s owner and head nurse, will educate you on how to choose better foods. She’s not going to provide a limited list of what you can and cannot eat. Instead, she will coach you on how to use food as your fuel. The strategies she will teach you will change the way you eat for the rest of your life.
4. Movement counseling
- Bri Gress, who has a degree in athletic training, will work with you to find ways to incorporate exercise into your busy life. (And yes, dancing to 90s dance music on YouTube counts.)
5. Therapy
- Therapist Christina Meighen will talk you through the mental and emotional aspects of your relationship to your body, particularly as it pertains to food. You will experience the “a-ha” moments that have been keeping you from being successful at losing weight before.
6. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
- The HBOT will enhance all of the other changes you are making by encouraging your body’s cells to be better — just like your new body.
The best thing about the program is that Heather is accessible to you whenever you are feeling confused or nervous. She is an empathetic listener who will lead you to the answers that will work best for you. Most importantly, she will be your best cheerleader. Having a partner to help you manage your injections and your food intake is the key to your success.In fact, consider teaming up with your mom to do this weight loss program together. You will hold each other accountable, which will make it even easier to succeed!
I don’t think your mom is going to be upset if you send her a dozen jumbo-sized chocolate covered strawberries, but if you want to give her something that could change her life for the better, consider the gift of BluZone. Whether it’s an IV, an HBOT session, or the body she’s always wanted, she deserves it.
