Treat yourself to a sensational Sunday designed to delight the senses and address overall women’s health with the Sunday, October 17 Sip, Spa & Stay Fit event to benefit The Red Devils. Sponsored by the Medi-Spa at Mercy and Mercy Medical Center, this second annual event again will be held in the glass lobby of Mercy’s Weinberg Center, 227 St. Paul Place in Baltimore, from Noon – 3:00 p.m.
Bring your daughters, your friends and yourself to this soothing haven in the midst of one of Maryland’s leading medical institutions, where cutting edge techniques based on sound medicine mix, with holistic practices that address, mind, body and spirit. Top Mercy physicians and medical staff will be on hand to discuss a myriad of women’s health topics in an “Ask the Experts” setting that provides unparalleled access to top medical staff outside of an actual doctor’s office.
Mercy health experts featured include noted cardiologist Dr. Monica Aggarwall, who specializes in clinical cardiology, nuclear cardiology, transesophageal echocardiography and women’s healthcare issues; Karen Fick, who will provide nutritional tips for a healthy diet; Rose Truby-Scharff, a noted acupuncturist versed in using this ancient practice for balancing hormones, reducing stress and anxiety; and an expert who will answer questions about bio-identical hormone replacement.
In between health and wellness advice dispensed by top Mercy physicians and staff, plan for an afternoon of pampering at the Medi-Spa at Mercy Medical Center, where mini sessions of soothing reflexology and indulgent chair massages complement skincare consultations at the Spa as well as health and make-up sessions featuring the pure, safe and beneficial line of botanicals and herb-based products from the renowned Swiss-based Arbonne International, one of the featured vendors. Culinary creations and delicacies from Baltimore’s Tremonts will engage the palette of those in attendance. A wine tasting also is planned.
Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 at the door, and include goodie bags. Mini Medi-Spa services that day are available for the first 36 people who sign up on-line. Those who sign up later may still receive coupons good for Medi-Spa services booked during a designated time frame.
