Chiropractor Publishes Book For Moms-To-Be

Dr. Ashley Gonzales-Barwick from Our Patch Family Chiropractic has written a children’s book that tells the story of a mother-to-be receiving prenatal chiropractic care and the benefits that come from it through the point of view of her in-utero baby. 

“This rhyme storybook serves as a reminder that prenatal chiropractic care not only has benefits for mama, but also for her growing child,” says Gonzales-Barwick. “More space in the pelvis = more comfort for mom = more wiggle room for baby = easier birth = happier earthside child.”

Gonzales-Barwick is a Webster-Certified Doctor of Chiropractic and is finishing up her final certification through the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics.

Couple Starts New Energy Wellness Center in Greenville

Recently engaged couple, Elizabeth Stump and Josh McGinn, have started a new business together in Greenville: Regenerate Wellness Center – a private membership association.

The concept is centered around all life being energy, and every cell in your body is a mini-battery pumping out 70-90 millivolts – when healthy. Our cells lose this energy causing diseases due to the daily onslaught of our environment, including unhealthy frequencies, radiation, toxins, and chemicals. The Energy Enhancement System provides an energetic environment that helps bring your cells back to the healthy 70-90 millivolts, allowing the body to naturally heal itself and detox. 

Stump says, “This technology helps the body heal and recover by reenergizing on a cellular level. The benefits are boundless.”

ReGenerate Wellness Center is located at 2084 Woodruff Rd, Ste A in Greenville. To get your 50% off your first visit, call: 864-887-2617 or text: 864-419-2884. For more information visit: ReGenerateYourWellness.com.

Non-Toxic Nail Salon and Beauty Bar Opens in Greenville

The nation’s first non-toxic nail and beauty franchise system, freecoat nails™ is proud to announce its newest franchise partners and entrepreneurs, Laura and Doug Stout. They recently joined the freecoat nails family to add a unique layer of healthy nail and beauty options in Greenville. The new freecoat nails recently opened in the well-known Augusta
Road neighborhood.

“We are so excited to offer the Greenville community a place to retreat and enjoy some self-care in a beautiful, non-toxic salon with an exceptional team of technicians,” says owner, Laura Stout. “We are a perfect spot for a quick escape for individuals or a small group. We can’t wait to welcome you to our fume-free, toxin-free, and jet-free nail studio and beauty bar!” exclaims Stout.

The surge in the clean beauty industry is driven by the use of harmful, toxic chemicals in many of today’s traditional nail salons. Most notable, freecoat nails eliminates six of the most dangerous chemicals found in conventional nail salons, including camphor, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde/formaldehyde resin, xylene, triphenyl phosphate, and toluene. These chemicals are highly disruptive to guest health and wellness, linked to causing headaches and respiratory issues. They can lead to long-term effects like lung disease, cancer, reproductive problems, and fatigue. 

Freecoat nails is located at 1445 Augusta St. (locally known as Augusta Road) in Greenville. For more information, call 864-528-7951 or visit: https://freecoatnails.com.
