A very warm welcome to Lori Murray and Anna Dagostino who last week – to much fanfare on April 1st – opened Benessere, Downtown Stratford’s newest wellness centre offering a variety of healing and wellness services.
Cousins, Lori and Anna decided they wanted to run a business together and for the last year have been doing their due diligence on the city’s ageing population and learning all about how these modalities help improve people’s lives.
Both hold down full time jobs – Lori at Steelcraft and Anna as a service coordinator for mental health services in Toronto – but with the help of high school friend Nancy, and another employee look forward to juggling all that’s required to launch their new business.
Benessere, Italian for well-being, is all about energy, healing, rejuvenation.
The beautifully renovated space is in the former Sew & Save space and it was heartwarming to hear that Mark Phillips’ family members attended the busy Grand Opening.
Lori and Anna offer many services to get your mind and body back on track after this long, cold winter. In the massage room, after an AI screen scans you for your hot spots, an enormous massage chair literally hugs you in, reclines you, and gets to work to make you feel your best! The space-like cocoon deluxe fitness pod has a long list of benefits that include boosting the immune system, reducing pain and inflammation, enhancing exercise sweating and healthy perspiration, and even helping to maintain weight management, firm and tone your muscles!
Or you could have a session of infrared light therapy while laid out on a segex mat, which pumps low frequency currents through your body in the form of electromagnetic therapy to reduce pain and increase circulation. Benessere also offers a gorgeous salt room, a hand and foot detox room and a cold plunge tub and sauna for contrast therapy. Set between 39F and 45F, this bath is sure to remove that brain fog!
