Mission:
Vitality Wellness Spa is more than just a day spa.  It's a home away from home where we simply provide the best experience for our clients.  With every treatment, we provide a healing and nurturing touch that encourages more balanced living.    

Vitality Wellness Spa contributes a portion of their net profit back to the community and select charity organizations.
Such organizations we believe in are:

 

Vitality Wellness Spa is the mindchild of licensed aesthetician, Christina Oliva.  She began her aesthetics career in 2003, and within just a few short years, her ambition led her into several spa management positions paving the way to take on her own empire.  

In 2005, she joined forces with big sister, Dr. Anne Marie Marcellino, Alive & Well Chiropractic.  Together, as they asked themselves the single question, 'What would make my best spa experience?' They created a one stop health & wellness center, with a unique and relaxing atmosphere welcoming to both men and women of all ages.  

Today, Christina's commitment and dedication remains, by simplifying a custom menu of services filled with treatments she loves, and high quality products she believes in.

Jamie Karanis - Aesthetician/ Nail Technician

Professional Training:  Catherine Hinds 2005/ Lowell Academy of Nails 2003

Favorite Treatment: Custom Facial with Eye-O-tonology add-on.   
What makes it effective?:  The enzyme peel gently removes dull, dead skin and helps to avoid the post-facial breakouts that concern many clients.  The muscle memory and contouring during the eye treatment really lifts and reduces puffiness.  When I’m finished with their treatment, my clients look vibrant, awake, and refreshed!

What is the greatest misconception clients have about their Skin?  That their diet has nothing to do with the appearance of their skin.  I know first hand that this is very true!  Drinking enough water and eating well will radiate good health through your skin.

How do you instill loyalty in your clients?:  I make sure my clients feel comfortable and I don’t make them feel bad if they are doing something wrong.  That’s why I’m here, to guide them in the right direction and leave their skin glowing!

Cheryl Hurley - Nail Technician

Professional Training:  Wakefield Vocational School 1997

Favorite Treatment: Shea Butter or Parastone Pedicures
What makes it effective?: The Shea Butter applied before the paraffin mask really moisturizes and helps repair dry cracked skin.  It makes the feel of the pedicures last longer and going that extra mile is truly worth it! 

What is the greatest misconception clients have about nails?:  That one pedicure will make callused feet as good as new.  Although I try my best to slough off as much dead skin as possible, it usually takes a few times and the client needs to exfoliate with a callus eliminator at home too.

How do you instill loyalty in your clients?:   I give the same quality of service as well as treat them with respect and sincerity exactly how I would like to receive at a spa.  

  
Jennifer Pratt - Massage Therapist/Aesthetician

Professional Training:  Graduate of The Massachusetts Institute of Therapeutic Massage 2002,  The Catherine Hinds School of Esthetics 2007.  

Favorite Treatment: A massage /facial combo. 
What makes it effective?: It's perfect for those who can’t decide what to get, or who have never received any spa treatments before, they get the best of both worlds!  They don’t even have to get up, just roll over.  

What is the greatest misconception clients have about skincare/massage? A lot of my clients confuse sensitivity with dehydration and once we get the hydration restored, many sensitivity issues reduce.  With massage, the treatment doesn't stop here.  I'm always reminding my clients to use heat packs, stretch, and drink water between their visits with me.

How do you instill loyalty in your clients?:  I treat them with complete honesty and really care about there well-being, as if they were my own family.

Kelly Congo

Professional Training:  Salter School 2008

Favorite Treatment: Volcanic Stone Massage

What makes it effective?: Hot stone massage can be used for a relaxing spa treatment as well as for people who are experiencing chronic pain and tension. The heat of the stones promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation, relieve pain, improve circulation and calm the mind.  It can be especially helpful for people with fibromyalgia, arthritis, MS, injuries, insomnia, depression, anxiety and every day muscular aches and pains.

What is the greatest misconception clients have about massage? That massage is an indulgence or a quick fix.  Massage should be viewed as part of a healthy lifestyle for people who are serious about their bodies and their health.

How do you instill loyalty in your clients?: I get to know my clients and customize each session every time so that the treatment is right for them.



Jennifer S. - Massage Therapist

Professional Training: Palmer Institute of Massage and Bodywork

Favorite Treatment: 90 Minute Volcanic Stone Deep Tissue Massage

What makes it effective?: The heat from the stones penetrates the muscles and relaxes them which in turn makes the massage more effective. It is through the warming of the muscles and the use of several different techniques that allows the release of tension and pain. This combination is beneficial to people who live with chronic pain and tension. It is particularly effective for back, neck and shoulder pain. Using the hot stones with the deep tissue massage, promotes release of tension within muscles and then relaxes them way. Clients experience the benefits of both types of massage (relaxation & deep tissue).

What is the greatest misconception clients have about massage or reiki? I have found that people feel like massage, in general, is a luxury, when in fact it is another way to achieve a healthy body and mind. It can relieve everyday tension and pain as well as calm your stresses. It is therapeutic and another form of self care.

How do you instill loyalty in your clients?: The loyalty in my clients comes from the personal attention that I give to each one of them everytime they come in for a session. I take the time to listen to their needs and concerns, and then develop an individualized plan for them specifically. Every client is different and unique and deserves to get the maximum benefits from their massage.

Marisa Petralia - Pilates Instructor

Marisa uses verbal and tactile cues to ensure the use of proper form. When the body is in correct alignment, working from a stable source (the powerhouse) will allow the core to strengthen as muscles lengthen.  "Our goal is to combine stability and flow, with a focus on transitions; gracefully removing from one move to the next without stopping."
