As we bid adieu to another year, there is one more gift that you won’t find under the tree. While the loving yet collective chaos of the holidays has come and gone, the end of the year bestows the gift of reflection, and the opportunity to look ahead while actively continuing to learn, plan and grow.
For many, prioritizing personal wellness is a common avenue to pursue. However, while having good intentions is half the battle, it can be challenging to know where to start, and even more difficult, too, to remain consistent.
Luckily, you don’t have to go it alone. These local Richmond businesses want to help you seek and stick to your 2024 personal wellness goals.
Raintree Wellness Spa
While it’s true when they say that beauty is only skin deep, there is something to be said about how looking your best on the outside can help you feel your best on the inside. This New Year, look and feel your best with effective and affordable treatment options at Raintree Wellness Spa.
Raintree Wellness Spa has been delivering advanced skincare for nearly 20 years by providing exceptional experiences delivered by a team of warm and welcoming skincare professionals.
“No one should let aging or skin concerns prevent them from looking their best,” says Lisa McFadden, owner of Raintree Wellness Spa, “especially when such exciting results are possible from treatments using a combination of laser and radio frequency to treat sun damage, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and to lift sagging skin on the face, neck and body, bringing back the confidence to look and feel your best.”
Raintree takes a gentler approach to medi-spa services, opting for treatments that are more comfortable for guests, while delivering brighter, tighter and more youthful looking skin.
Raintree chooses their professional skin care products carefully, with formulations that favour natural ingredients with high tech delivery systems that are created with renewable electric energy and packaged to minimize environmental impact.
For a limited time, Raintree Wellness Spa is offering specially priced rejuvenation packages for both face and body to help you commit to and remain consistent with your 2024 self-care goals.

Pegasus Integrated Health INC.
As we stand on the brink of a new year, many are drawn to setting ambitious resolutions, particularly surrounding our health and weight goals. However, the all-too-familiar cycle of adopting a new diet only to abandon it within a few months can leave us feeling frustrated and defeated.
The problem with these resolutions is that they often involve drastic changes that are simply not feasible in the long term. The solution, however, lies in the power of cultivating sustainable habits—making gradual adjustments that strengthen over time.
That’s where Caroline Klemens and Angelina Lam, Registered Dietitians from Pegasus Integrated Health INC. come in.
Pegasus’ team of expert dietitians introduces clients to the transformative power of dietitian services through unique packages such as the Chronic Disease Management, Understanding Your Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Transformative Health packages.

You will receive customized recommendations and an action plan to meet your nutrition goals. Through regular follow ups, the dietitians can work with you to make these goals sustainable and support you along the way.
