History of the Life Enrichment Center, Inc.,
Institute of Health & Healing and
JonBre' European Spa
A need was recognized for a facility that would provide care for the wholebeing... physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The vision of bringing a total healthcare facility to the area was realized in 1997 when many of the areas finest therapists and instructors began to offer their field of study and share their knowledge, talents and strengths to form the Life Enrichment Center, Inc.
Holistic services are relatively new to the area, yet the programs are quickly reaching public attention and continuing to gain a very large client population. Accordingly, we took the initiative to formulate a health for well-being curriculum and the Institute of Health & Healing was born to meet the growing needs of the area. A core group was created and this group of professionals developed many of the programs that we practice today. These educators and practitioners are dedicated to providing the highest quality curriculum possible and yet, at a very affordable tuition rate.
Our Integrated Therapy Clinic offers Professional Skincare (Esthetics), Massage, Nail Care, Reflexology, Healing Touch, Hypnotherapy, Aromatherapy, Yoga, Stress and Weight Management, Reiki, Ayurveda, among many other holistic approaches. Our clinic is open to the public, and is served by our Certified Therapists, Licensed Professionals, Graduates and Student Practitioners. Our rates are reflected in the level of expertise you choose. Our clinic is a very affordable way for the people in our community to pamper themselves. We have many regular clients that return time and time again making our services an integral part of their healthy lifestyle.
Because of the rapid growth of our clinic patrons, in 2004 we expanded our offerings to include an exclusive day spa just minutes from our school and clinic. The facility of JonBre' European Spa is simply stated, it's a retreat where your relaxation and rejuvenation are our top priorities.
A unique well-balanced partnership was developed to make your dream of well-being come true!
