SALUS HEART AND WELLNESS OPENS IN RANCHO
BERNARDO, CALIFORNIA
The First Spa For the Heart and
Mind Offers An Overall Well-Being Experience Focused on Heart Health
Through Lifestyle Improvements
SAN DIEGO – July 23, 2002 –
Salus Heart and Wellness, a spa for the heart and mind, announces
its official opening at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in Rancho Bernardo,
California. Founded by Dr. Neil Treister, a San Diego cardiologist
and Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and Rosemary Pfuhl,
a licensed therapist specializing in stress management, Salus brings
together expert medical professionals and wellness practitioners
to offer a practical balance of traditional and complementary approaches
to achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Salus (pronounced SAH-lus) is Latin for health,
well-being and wholeness. This new type of spa experience includes
educational seminars as well as traditional spa treatments and specializes
in providing balanced, heart-focused wellness programs tailored
specifically to individual needs and health concerns. Each Salus
program combines up-to-date information on heart health, the best
of complementary medicine, a holistic approach to lifestyle awareness
and a unique Salus signature spa experience to create a total wellness
experience for the heart and mind.
Dr. Treister, president and medical director
of Salus Heart and Wellness, explains, "As a practicing cardiologist,
I am excited about the tremendous progress we've made in our understanding
of the heart and blood vessels. And now, there is compelling scientific
evidence that some of the health practices formerly considered "alternative"
such as diet and exercise, yoga, stress management and mindfulness
meditation have enormous potential to prevent heart disease and
optimize overall health and well-being."
Located
at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, Salus offers two-, three- and four-day
programs that allow participants to relax and escape the stresses
of everyday life while gaining useful wellness information that
can be incorporated into any lifestyle. Anyone who is interested
in learning more about their heart and their health can benefit
from a Salus program. Participants in the program range from individuals
on a weekend getaway to businesses and government organizations
as well as educational institutions.
The programs provide important information
and lifestyle enhancement techniques for healthy, active individuals
as well as for those with or at risk for heart disease. The information
about diet, exercise, cholesterol management, nutrition, meditation
and many other topics will benefit anyone in today’s fast-paced
world. In addition, Salus candidates are those who are seeking specific
health screening procedures such as treadmill testing, cholesterol
analysis and computer-assisted heart disease risk assessment.
"The journey toward optimal health and
wellness is an individual one,” says Salus co-founder Rosemary
Pfuhl. “At Salus, we create an environment where people can
explore and learn what resonates with them. They leave energized
and with the knowledge they can make positive lifestyle changes
that will result in enhanced health and well-being."
