SHORT CUTS BUSINESS Remedy Spa Helps Clients Feel Great Inside and Out B Y M I CHA E L CHAT F I E LD O ur goal is to help our clients to not only look good on the outside, but feel good on the inside,” says Melissa Duran, RN, founder of Remedy Spa. “We look forward to educating people on how to take control of ailments in a natural way.” The first Remedy Spa location is in Salinas, and the company recently opened its second location at the Crossroads Shopping Center in Carmel. Offering a broad spectrum of med- ical aesthetics and wellness spa treatments, this business represents a paradigm shift in the typical day spa model. Because Remedy Spa is medically driven—overseen by Dr. Jay Pennock, MD—they are able to deliver inject- able treatments such as Botox, fillers and IV vitamin therapies in a professionally supervised, calm and relaxing environment. The IV room is particularly serene, with patients relaxing in Eames chairs in front of an entire wall of gently illuminated Himalayan salt blocks. Remedy Spa features the only Float Spa in Monterey County. Floating on a water/Epsom salt solution, the experience helps relieve pain and allows a state of complete relaxation. The spa also offers “Superhuman Protocol,” which uses three natural elements, magnetism, oxygen and light. “This machine has changed lives,” Duran states.
