 There are lots of fun events planned for this season, so make sure you take a look at our Healthy Happenings column on page 31.

Wellness Center Adds Regenerative Technology Program

Solutions in Health Care has added Nervous System Regenerative Technology (NRG for short) to their wellness program. The NRG quantum analysis reads 92,000 bio-electric functions of the body to determine areas of weaknesses and pathways of biological degeneration. The analysis reveals toxins, infections, trauma, and inadequacies in the body.

The NRG system then develops a regenerative electrical frequency program that helps your immune system to reverse those flawed processes. “The NRG Card records personal optimal function, which is our goal,” says Dr. Jeanne Petan, PhD. “Then the client takes the NRG card home and places it in their pillowcase at night. Since detoxification happens while you sleep, the card records frequencies. When the client returns with the card, I can see how the body is responding from what the card records. This not only shows the progress that is being made; we then can plan our next goal to continue the healing process,” says Petan.

According to Petan, the understanding of the body’s toxins, strengths, and weaknesses is mandatory for symptom relief and to start the regeneration process. The goal of Solutions in Health Care is to inspire clients to create a healthy lifestyle. Many other services are offered, which are listed on her website.

Solutions in Health Care is located at 290 Entree Trail, Fountain Inn. For more information, call 864-862-4113 or Visit SolutionsInHealthCare.Services.

Bakery and Country Store Opens in Easley

Little Sprout Ridge Bakery and Country Store is a family-owned business located in Easley, SC. Opened on May 2, 2022, the bakery is filled with a variety of options as well as a lunch menu and a retail section containing handmade goats milk soaps and bath products as well as other hand crafted, artisan items. The store got its start on the family’s homestead where owner, Elizabeth Jansen started making goats milk bath products from fresh goats milk. From there, working under a cottage kitchen licensing, she added baked goods and began selling at local craft fairs and farmers’ markets. With the support of the community and sales rising, it became clear that the growth required more space. Jansen with her husband, Rob, began looking for a storefront and the rest is history.

Fascia Blasting Offered at Spa in Greer

Fascia blasting treatments are now being offered at Pure Wellness Spa in Greer. What’s fascia blasting? Fascia blasting is a form of fascial manipulation. Fascia is the connective tissue that encases the entire body; sort of like a sausage casing, and it surrounds muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments and gives them shape. The process involves a hard plastic tool called the FasciaBlaster, which was invented by Ashley Black. The tools can be short or long sticks with little claws or feet attached to it; the body is “scrubbed” briskly to warmup and manipulate, which in turn, makes the fascia more pliable, flexible and smooth. Hence why Ashley Black says, “It’s not fat, it’s fascia.”

“I’m elated to bring a new service that will assist in recovery, pain relief, contouring and enhance total body movement,” said Atir Sveska-Sharpe, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist who works at Pure Wellness Spa in Greer. Pure Wellness Spa is also an herbal remedy boutique that offers vitamins and supplements and a variety of alternative health spa therapies that aid in healing, nourishing, cleansing and rejuvenating the whole body.

Pure Wellness Spa is located at 108 Cannon St., Greer. For more information, call 864-655-5079 or visit PureOnMain.com.

Front Yard Foods Helps Your Garden Grow

Front Yard Foods owner, Laura Fernandez, has had this idea in her head for a long time…how to start a business that connects people back to the food; creating an atmosphere of “least waste;” and then teaching people how to plant the seeds in the ground. This led to learning how to care for the plants, to harvesting the plants, and how to preserve the food that was grown.

Front Yard Foods was born out of this idea. “We’re getting back to traditional or old school basics and modernizing these basics to today’s lifestyle,” says Fernandez. 

Front Yard Foods provides garden consultations, installations, local classes, and in-person local workshops. She also attends local farmers’ markets as a vendor around the Upstate, where she sells her specialty wares such as plant starts, foods made with herbs, as well as sourdough starts.

Fernandez says, “From the classes and workshops have come friendships of like-minded people outside of the classes; from all of this, I have learned people are excited about learning and really want to be in community with one another.”

For more information on Front Yard Foods, contact Laura Fernandez at 615-635-6552 or email [email protected]. Instagram: @FrontYard_Foods.
