Virginia Beach Woman - December 2010/January 2011

There are angels in Southside Hampton Roads! That is angels in the form of nurses helping out our local Senior Citizens. Welcome one of our newest contributors, Joyce Elliott, CEO and Founder of Angel Care Private Duty Nursing Services. In just four years her company has grown to be one of the premier nursing and in-home care services in Hampton Roads area. They offer personalized care, whether you need them for one hour or 24 hours. It’s an amazing service they provide to those seniors we love so well, but can’t care for alone. And speaking of angels, if you want to fly like one, check out the article by Cynthia Smith about her new fitness program with silk hammocks. Suspended from the ceiling, the hammocks allow you to move into challenging poses and stretches, for a “better sense of posture and beautiful weightless movement. “ Cynthia and her partner Gabriela Nelson just started their business AIRotique Movement, and if you’re looking for a change in your workout routine, please check out the photos on page 10. I guarantee you’ll be intrigued enough to give them a call. On the medical front, Dr. Jenny Andrus of the Orthopaedic & Spine Center in Newport News, explains Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and why some patients continue to have pain after surgery. If you’re a businesswoman, you’ll be interested in Shelley Smith’s article on preparing for change in the business world. Owner of The Alternative Board, Shelley offers a way for business owners to “leverage knowledge and experience in a peer board setting.” And she offers one-on-one business coaching as well. Linda DeLoatch, owner of Images Unlimited has announced a new affiliation with the Hair Loss Control Clinic. The HLCC Cosmetic Laser systems will give a person in our area who is worried about hair loss an opportunity to try the new Laser therapy. Exciting news! And if you’re the least bit worried about money this time of year, Associate Financial Planner Heather Miller Tokarz from Ameriprise, offers some great holiday gift buying tips. Please support the businesses that contribute to Virginia Beach Woman and who take the time to write articles about their businesses or practices. Give them a call and tell them you saw their article in Virginia Beach Woman. They love to hear that! Have a safe and healthy holiday.
