of the Month – April 2008
Paula Moran and Jerry Levine,
Family Nutrition & Massage Center
After just one visit to Family
Nutrition & Massage Center in Marlborough, you’ll leave
feeling relaxed, refreshed, and energetic. Since 1996,
Paula Moran and Jerry Levine have been offering massage
and spa therapy as the natural, drug-free way to promote
good health, relieve pain, and reduce stress. Whether
you’re looking for a relaxing massage, a deep-cleansing
facial, or new direction in nutrition and weight loss,
the staff at FN-MC will provide the perfect program to
meet your needs.
Paula Moran leads the “nutrition”
side of Family Nutrition & Massage Center, while her
husband Jerry Levine oversees the “massage” side. After
studying nutrition in college, she began her career in
the health and wellness industry, helping people
exercise and eat properly. After spending 20 years in
corporate America, working in the service industry,
sales, and marketing, Paula came back full circle to
helping people achieve wellness through good nutrition
and a healthy lifestyle. For the past 12 years she has
studied nutrition through the resources and experts of
Herbalife®, a company that specializes in
science-based nutritional products. When Paula meets
with new clients, she begins with a thorough health
assessment. Using the ShapeScan Body Analyzer™, she is
able to accurately identify lean body mass, resting
metabolic rate, percent body fat, daily caloric needs,
protein requirements, and target body weight. With
these tools, Paula helps her clients set weight goals
and educates them about healthy eating habits,
beneficial daily supplements, and exercise. As a
result, Paula is able to provide a nutrition program
designed to meet the needs of each and every client—a
program that can be completed with or without the wide
array of nutritional products available at FN-MC, such
as healthy meals, meal replacements, supplements, and
protein snacks. Right now, Paula and Jerry are getting
ready to launch their Spring Weight Loss Challenge.
Participants will attend eight to twelve weeks of
classes on a variety of healthy living topics, such as
healthy whole grains, balanced nutrition, and exercise.
The registration fees from the challenge are placed into
a pool, and the top three weight “losers” take home the
winnings.
After 35 years of service as a
professional musician in the U.S. Coast Guard Band,
Jerry Levine began a new chapter of his life in 1995,
when he decided to study massage therapy. Through his
training he discovered the beneficial connection between
massage and good health. “The benefits of massage are
extensive,” Jerry explains. “From improving circulation
and breathing, relieving joint pain and muscle soreness,
improving digestion and the elimination of toxins, to
releasing negative emotions, it is tremendously
gratifying to work with someone and see them achieve
improved health.” The entire team of massage therapists
at Family Nutrition & Massage Center are Connecticut
licensed, nationally certified, and members of
recognized national massage therapy associations. In
addition, Jerry holds certifications in
orthopedic/medical massage and hot stone massage. While
many regular clients come in for the relaxing benefits
of a traditional massage, FN-MC also works with a great
number of athletes, personal trainers, and dancers,
providing targeted services such as sports massage,
treatment for muscle injuries, stretching, and
lengthening of muscles.
Dedicated to wellness from the
inside out, the team of skin care experts at FN-MC
provides a wide variety of treatments designed to deep
clean and detoxify the skin. Paula stresses the
importance of caring for your skin on a regular basis:
“For consistent results, we recommend quarterly surface
treatments to cleanse the skin of toxins caused by
stress and air pollution.” With five private,
well-equipped treatment rooms, Family Nutrition &
Massage Center offers a number of beneficial treatments,
including a Chinese Herbology body treatment, a seaweed
body mask, Sedona mud purification, or an exfoliating
body polish. Clients can combine any of these spa
treatments with a facial (a deep pore cleansing facial,
an age defying facial, an Ayurvedic facial massage, or a
vitamin C facial). Highly skilled aestheticians can
recommend just the right spa treatment for all clients,
depending on their skin types and any skin problems they
may be dealing with. Many guests combine spa treatments
with a massage, manicure, or pedicure for a full
afternoon of deep relaxation.
The first time you meet with Jerry
or Paula —for massage therapy, spa treatments, or
nutrition counseling—they’ll take time to get to know
you. By asking a series of questions, they can uncover
your specific needs as well as any pertinent health
issues. You’ll be sure to receive the combination of
treatments just right for your body. Through all the
services and products provided at Family Nutrition &
Massage Center, you will find the common thread is a
focus on each client’s individual needs. And Paula and
Jerry are proud to see their clients enjoying the many
health benefits that come with massage therapy and spa
treatments. “We feel great when we see our clients
getting healthier and feeling better,” says Paula.
