REMEMBRANCE DAY HOURS
Please note that Layers Wellness will be closed Wednesday, November 11th to pay our respects to our wonderful veterans.
We will resume regular store hours the next day.
MICROBLADING IS HERE TO STAY
…at least semi-permanently.
Warm up to beautiful, full, and natural-looking eyebrows with the rave review process of Microblading. After much anticipation, it’s FINALLY here! Emma and Jen have officially been trained in microblading and permanent makeup and are now accepting bookings!
To celebrate we’ve decided to offer an Introductory Offer on microblading. For just $350 you can give this eyebrow enhancing treatment a try!
The results can last anywhere from 11 to 18 months, depending on different factors affecting the procedure. However, a touch up once a year is recommended to retain the shape and saturation of pigment.
MOBILE PERSONAL TRAINING
Prep for the upcoming gala season.
Call (780) 750-6888 for your free personal consultation!

TRAINED IN THAI
Added layer to our massage services!
Beth Sells has trained our massage therapists in Thai Massage! It’s just another way that Layers can help you heal from the inside out!
Beth graduated from the Western College of Remedial Massage Therapy in July 2010. She then moved to Fort McMurray Alberta where she worked in Physical Therapy Clinics for the following 2 years. With a passion for learning Beth travelled to Thailand to study Thai Massage direct from the source. She attended the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai completing the I5, Intensive 150hrs course.
Our massage therapists will include Thai Massage with your massage treatment. Thai Massage works as the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked as the massage therapist combines deep static and rhythmic pressures. And the best news, this is covered under you benefits and Blue Cross!

MICROBLADING & PERMANENT MAKEUP
Coming soon so you can put down the pencil.
Our aesthetics team will be trained in microblading and permanent makeup in November!
What is microblading you ask? Microblading is a manual method used to deposit small amounts of ink in the superficial layer of the skin. It is considered to be a semi-permanent tattoo. This can help with thinning or light-colored eyebrows.
We encourage you to set up a consultation with Jen Farrell or Emma Mason to discuss this option.
Call (780) 750-6888 to set up an appointment.
Our new men’s skin care line, Miracle 10, is so great it’s scary!

TESTIMONIAL CORNER
Rose’s lifestyle change.
“I joined and started FitMetabolism January 13, 2015. I have lost 43 pounds so far and feel wonderful.
What I love most is I don’t feel like I’m dieting at all because we all hate dieting. I feel like I can still eat whatever I want I have just changed my lifestyle a little and it was easy with their coaching.
Now I have hired a personal trainer from there who is awesome comes to my home makes everything easier for me.
Joining Layer Wellness in Fort McMurray was the best thing I ever did in my life.”
– Rose
THANK YOU FORT MCMURRAY
Our Fall Open House was amazing!

Spin It to Win It!
I wanted to focus this month on CHANGE, so how did I come up with the title “Spin It to Win It”? Read on!
Change can be scary for some, unwelcoming for many, and hard for most. Changes in our environment, lifestyle, emotions and habits take us out of our comfort zone and challenge our confidence, security and routines.
Our team at Layers is here to help you navigate through the scary world of change and put a different spin on viewing things that are outside your comfort zone. Think of us as your agents of change, spin doctors (or my favourite), spin sisters!
Spin 1 Fall
Lets spin the dreaded change from carefree, relaxing summer months to fall, followed much too closely by the long, cold, dark months of winter. Fall can be looked at as the end of summer with shorter day light hours, cooler mornings and a loss of fun loving summer activities. It is the lead into winter! Here I will spin it to win it and look at fall this way. I only have to mow my lawn twice a month, not every week, when I get up to teach my 6:00am spin class no one can see how ghastly I look and I can take the most amazing bug free walks through the trails and am left breathless at the beauty of the fall colours! Winning It!
Spin 2 Restrictions in Diet
Clients who are making changes to their weight are at times resentful of the restrictions to their food choices they make. Us spin sisters are there to open up the world of “can’t have” to “can have”. A loss of weight can get you more energy, a better night’s sleep, a bigger wardrobe, maybe even a decrease in medication. Spin It to Win It!
There are so many countless ways to use this principle and we at Layers use this technique everyday to help facilitate, motivate, coach and support desired lifestyle changes.
We invite you to spin with us and let us help you to embrace change!
Warm regards,
Barb Henning
Owner/Weight Loss Coach

ACUPUNCTURE ENHANCEMENT
The healing power of herbs.
Over the last couple of months our clients have been experiencing tremendous results with acupuncture. As you may, or may not know, acupuncture in conjunction with herbs can enhance the results that you experience.
Using herbs on their own can also help with things such as circulation, pain, digestive problems, weight loss, and fatigue just to name a few. Herbs can also replace the synthetic supplements that we use on a daily basis all while giving us the same positive results.
Our acupuncturist Jessica has herbs on hand and would love to guide you through the world of natural supplements. She has a vast knowledge of herbology that she’s longing to share that with the community of Fort McMurray. Call today to book a consultation.
We are so proud of you and your accomplishments. In a short time frame you have managed to reach your weight loss goals and transform your body into a fat burning machine.
Debbie was motivated and persevered through a few months of dedication. Through all of her dedication she has managed to shed 37 pounds and 30.5″!!! WOW!
Summertime in our wonderful city is incredible and from the response to our local getaway contest you all think so too!
Check out our Facebook page to find some of the hidden treasures Fort McMurray has to offer. This summer I am
going to check out each and every one of them!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment and share their favourite spots in fort McMurray! It was a pleasant surprise to see how much our community is embraced and loved. Have a great summer, enjoy the outdoors and make layers wellness your local spa getaway.
Warm regards,

To celebrate Emma’s arrival to our team, we are offering body contouring and cellulite treatments all summer at a special buy one and get one free deal!

REIKI AINT FREAKY
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and treats the body as a whole. When we release stress, negative emotions and energy blocks we can allow the body to heal on a physical and emotional level. Reiki can help cope
with stress, muscle pain, chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and many more ailments that might be plaguing you.
If you would like to experience Reiki for yourself you can book a treatment with Alison.
I have been having problems with my knee for a few months and had an x-ray last fall. The doctor gave me a diagnosis of arthritis and told me to take some pills for the pain. I didn’t take the pills.
On Tuesday when I attended a spin class I could hardly do any of the class and the pain had moved up to my groin. I was given a recommendation to see Jessica for acupuncture at Layers. I’m not a needle person, so I was a bit nervous. However, Jessica made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. There was no pain, and for the most part, I didn’t even feel like the needles were going in. I knew immediately when I got off the table that my knee felt better! I was even able to walk 5KM that day and felt no pain.
“That Thursday was my next spin class and I was able to do the entire class with NO pain! What a relief!”
I will continue going back to Jessica for treatments.

All treatments will vary from patient to patient and are individualized for you and your body. After diagnosis is reached a treatment plan will be created specific to your condition.
Acupuncture is essentially painless and considered by most people to be very relaxing, increasing the circulation of blood, soothing sore muscles and elicits the release of endorphins (the bodies natural pain killers).
Massage Message
We are happy to announce that our massage therapist Alison is now extending her hours and will be working on Saturday’s.
“1 stroke with stones is equal to 7 strokes by hand!”
Penny has now completed her hot/cold stone massage course and is offering the stones as an add on to your massage. Hot/Cold stone massage can help flush inflammation and also decrease the soreness post deep tissue massage.

Easter Health Tips
Don’t do the Bunny Hop around Easter chocolate this year. Save that for the dance floor!
The Easter Bunny loves to leave little treats for the kids, some in the form of chocolate. For anybody watching what they’re eating, this can be a huge temptation. Instead of trying to fight the bunny we can do a few things.
Participate
If chocolate is something that gets brought into the house at this time of year, we can easily plan to participate in having a few chocolate eggs and counting them into our day. For example, 10 mini eggs count as 1C and 1F. You can count out the 10 eggs in the morning and enjoy them all day.
Avoid
If 10 mini eggs just isn’t going to be enough and you’ll end up eating the Costco size bag, maybe it’s just best not to have them in the house. Instead of buying chocolate, buy something that you won’t steal from your kids Easter basket. This will help you avoid the temptation AND you won’t have the kids crying because you’re eating the prizes from their Easter egg hunt. It’s a win/win for the family.
Control
Try to get the chocolate out of sight and out of mind as soon as possible. Have the kids put the chocolate in their room, or even the freezer so it’s not top of mind. OR have them pick out the amount of chocolate they will eat without getting a tummy ache and donate the rest to the Food Bank or other non profit that accepts that as a donation.
Loyalty Program
Stay tuned, it’s coming soon!
Layers Wellness appreciates every single client that walks through our doors! We can’t say thank you enough and so we’ve decided we’ll be implementing a Loyalty Program.
The loyalty program will be for all services rendered, including massage!
We’ll be rolling out the program soon, so be sure to watch our Facebook page and Twitter account for more information.

Feeling tired is not always a bad thing
If feeling tired is a catalyst to change, then to me that is a good thing. You often hear people speak of how bad events, uneasy or negative feelings or even illness was an important thing because of what they learned and the growth they experienced personally, or how it was a catalyst for change.
I find so many of our clients move forward and make positive changes with their lives and lifestyles. They all start at different places with different challenges and situations but have commonality in perseverance and drive for change. We may feel we are alone, but know many have similar journeys.

Drawing Inspiration
A testimonial from Mary Fudge
“In February, 2014, after recently losing my father and dealing with other personal struggles, I was feeling depressed and hopeless.
“I decided that I needed to make some positive changes in my life.”
I was very tired, and felt that this was partly due to my weight. I decided to try the Ideal Protein diet and soon the weight loss started! This program felt easy to follow, and I was motivated to keep focused because I was accountable to my coaches at Layers Wellness. The program itself is very convenient, and I enjoyed the large variety of foods available. After 10 months of Ideal Protein, I am down a total of 90lbs and 63.5 inches!
I feel like I have come out of my shell; I am more outgoing and social, and happier with my new positive outlook on life. I realize that I must continue to be mindful about my wellness for the rest of my life, and I am now enjoying regular exercise, cooking healthier and smaller meals.”
