Aspen Club and Spa

The Aspen Club and Spa Sports Medicine Institute is now offering Acupuncture with Amy Suplee.

Acupuncture/Herbal Consultation-1hr
The insertion of very small needles into points on
the meridians, effective to eliminate physical
or emotional pain, balance “chi” in the body,
increase energy, and improve organ function
and overall health.

Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation-1hr or
1.5 hrs with Deluxe facial
Fine needles are placed at a variety of
acupuncture points on the face, neck and
around the eyes to stimulate the body’s natural
energy, or “chi”. Small muscle groups are
addressed through the acupuncture points, as
the face lifts itself, through the muscles’ toning
and tightening action. The needles also stimulate
blood and circulation, which improves facial
color. ( A deluxe facial includes steam and the
highest quality organic facial products as well as
gua-sha, an ancient Chinese massage for the
face that increases facial tonicity)

Herbal Consultation only-30 mins
A 30 minute herbal consultation is designed
for those who do not have time for a full
acupuncture treatment or for individuals who
have been treated recently and would just like
to renew an herbal prescription. We use only
the finest quality herbal products and diagnose
each individual specifically and tailor a formula
explicitly for each patients’ needs.

Tui Na Massage-1hr
Tui Na is the oldest known system of massage
that has been used in China since 2300 B.C.
Tui Na methods include the use of hand and
arm techniques to massage the soft tissue
(muscles and tendons) of the body, stimulation
of acupressure points to directly affect the flow
of “chi” energy through the system of channels
and collaterals, and manipulation techniques to
realign the musculo-skeletal system.

Reconnective Healing-1 hr
Reconnective Healing is a type of energy
medicine different from any other. It is a
‘universal healing energy’ similar to Reiki, but
these evolutionary frequencies are at a new
bandwidth brought in via a spectrum of light

Mind-Body-Spirit Counseling-1hr
The idea behind this unique counseling approach
is that negative thought patterns start with a
belief, driven by emotions. These negative belief
patterns lead to behavioral patterns that are
unhealthy, which often times manifest as states
of disharmony or disease within the body. We
work together to uncover the root of these beliefs
and unresolved conflicts while instilling seeds of
wisdom and positivity, distinguishing truth from
error within the mind. This allows for new and
positive thought patterns to be formed, which
then allows for healing on all levels.

“To be spiritually well is to enjoy your own thoughts
and to move joyously in your feelings about
life.”-P. Quimby

Nutritional Consultation-1hr
Since food is the basis of medicine, Nutritional
counseling is crucial to the body’s ability to
maintain health and recover from any type of
illness. These consultations cover a wide range
of assessments and philosophies regarding the
quality of nutrition in the diet. This is an overall
education on the best possible foods one can
consume, eating habits for an optimally healthy
body, the mechanisms of food assimilation, and
successful weight loss. We work with individuals
to develop dietary patterns that are delicious
and healthy using the philosophies of Traditional
Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, macrobiotic
cooking, and western nutrition.

Tip #12 from Shape Magazine

In a study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, people who lifted weights at a brisk two second pace (one second to lift, one to lower) saw greater strength gains than those who took three seconds to lift and three to lower the weight. Speed up your training-while still maintaining good form - and you’ll have more time to do other moves or slip in some cardio for extra calorie burning.
