Hello Chatlisters. I appreciate Gene giving us a chance to introduce  ourselves and our local businesses.

  I’ve been offering classes in Pittsboro for 10 years now.  It has  developed into a wonderful, heartfelt, community gathering space, with  classes held 6 times a week.

Through breathing, meditation, movement and relaxation exercises, yoga  joins body, mind, and spirit into a balanced whole. It can really be  transformative!

Subject: Aria Skin & Laser Spa introduction

Aria Skin & Laser Spa is a Medical Day Spa.  Many of you do not know the difference between a day spa and a medical day spa.  Basically, we are more driven by results than a normal day spa would be.  We are supervised by, and offer the services of, a board certified plastic surgeon.  In fact Dr. Damitz is the Associate Chief of Plastic Surgery at UNC Hospital.  By having a physician supervise our facility we are able to offer so many things that a day spa can’t.  The products we sell are available only through physician supervised businesses and is stronger and more effective than the products sold at department stores and day spas.  Our microdermabrasion machine, IPL machine and lasers are not available at a day spa.
