CARLYLE - Although they are twins, they consider themselves to be the yin and yang of the Lotus Tree Wellness and Healing.
Brittany Dalziel and Briana Grimes own and operate The Lotus Tree on Main Street in Carlyle. Their two personalities complement each other both in life and in business. They recognize their business success relies on their unique and individual skills.
Briana’s cheerful vibe brings a light and friendly atmosphere to the business, while Brittany tends to bring a more yin calming energy. Both have their strengths and weaknesses
but when put together it is a recipe for success.
It becomes clear that the Lotus Tree was aptly named for both personal health care and well-being.
“Our internal environment is a direct reflection of our external environment and vice versa. We believe our health is deeply rooted in proper nutrition, what goes in our body becomes our body, every cell of our being is built upon this. We consider The Lotus Tree boutique to be the roots of our tree. The boutique offers a wide variety of top-of-the-line health care vitamins and supplements to help clients build a proper foundation so that their bodies have the ability to heal themselves.”
“Each limb of our tree is unique to full body wellness. We know that chiropractic care, massage therapy, cupping massage, bio flex laser therapy, and osteopathy all work together on the body’s physical ailments. However, we also recognize how vast our internal universe is, and therefore how important a healthy mental mindset is for wellness. In fact, even the ability to overcome many physical ailments directly relies on this, which is why we are proud to also offer a registered psychologist.”
“Another limb of our tree is aesthetics services. We offer including pedicures, facials, body wraps and hair styling. All our skin care services use the eminence organics skin care line which is available for purchase in the Lotus Tree boutique. We know that your skin is your first line of defence, and what goes on your skin, also ends up in your body. Aesthetics services have long been thought of as a luxury. We want that to change. We want people to recognize how important it is to look after their skin, nourish their hair and scalp with a non-ammonia-based colour line and products that are free from chemicals. We also feel facials and foot care should be part of a healthy monthly wellness ritual. We want aesthetic services to be thought of as necessary aspects of a person’s wellness, not luxurious, while they may make you feel that way.”
“Finally, the last limb of our tree is our yoga and Pilates classes. We know how many people are faithful with their workouts in the gym or at home, but often it seems the one missing link is a centred approach to uniting and rounding out their wellness with full body awareness. Taking time to be mindful of how their internal and external environments are affecting one another, taking time to be still, away from all of life’s distractions. And better yet taking the distractions out completely by coming to the ‘zen den’ at Lotus Tree, when everyone’s focus is on their highest level of self, it truly resonates.”
“The sense of community felt when entering Lotus Tree is what we are the most proud of. The ability to interact and be vulnerable, be seen, be heard, is the very crown of our tree. We believe there is something more than just coming to an appointment at Lotus Tree, when you walk in the door, you are not just another client, you are a friend, and we value that friendship.”
“It is human nature to wait until we are broken to seek help. If we could use this year to turn inward and seek wellness from the inside out, our entire universe would be in harmony. Make this year, a year of self care.”
