Opened: January 11, 2017

CONCEPT Modrn Sanctuary is a new luxury wellness center in the heart of the NoMad neighborhood in Manhattan. In an unprecedented fashion, 18+ medical and holistic practitioners work in tandem using both traditional and alternative wellness medicines, therapies and treatments to maximize the overall benefits and enhance health and happiness of the client, although some people consider this to be a risk, so if they actually get treated with these kind of practitioners, they get the contacts as sites as www.the-medical-negligence-experts.co.uk for any eventuality. All treatment facilities are bound by a federal privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA ensures that all information regarding your treatment and even your presence in treatment must be kept private and confidential for all Drug Treatment Finders. Treatment center staff members are not allowed to release any information about any patient unless a consent form has been signed, or in the event of an emergency.

OWNER – Alexandra Janelli, a leading health and wellness entrepreneur, hypnotherapists and life coach, has worked with award winning actors, singers, athletes, and high-level professionals. The Hypnosis Motivation Institute graduate is the founder of Modrn Sanctuary, which houses her practice Theta Spring Hypnosis, and PotentiallyHuman.co. She also hosts the Mental Sherap Show on the Voice American Radio Network.

DESIGN – Within the 5,000+ square foot space, Modrn Sanctuary melds East and West and old and new to create a unique and soothing harmony. When creating the ambiance, Janelli worked with interior designer Wendy Yang, playing with the influence of the subconscious mind by using elements of sensory deprivation, including black crocodile textured walls, to enhance the experience. The main lounge, which offers free wi-fi, features beautifully sculpted imported antique Balinese doors, a suspended dark wicker chair for lounging, and comfortable seating. The center has a beautiful view of the Empire State building and curated contemporary art from local and European artists is displayed throughout space. The Himalayan Salt Room, one of only four in the city, is being created for halo-therapy. The 200 square foot space will be lined with salt brick walls, heated salt floors, and halo-therapy generator where relaxation, rejuvenation, and health can be restored.

THERAPIES, SERVICES & CLASSES – The focus is to create and enhance one¹s natural equilibrium and daily life. Working in tandem, the 18+ practitioners offer various medicinal and holistic treatments and therapies, including: Hypnotherapy, Chiropractic, Holistic Skin Care, Acupuncture & Herbs, Psychotherapy, Physical Therapy, Cupping, Rolfing, Ayurveda, Reiki, Massage, Energy Work, Thai Body Work, Blood Chemistry, Nutrition and Nutritional Supplements, Past Life Regression, Family Constellation, and Life & Business Coaching. There are also workshops and classes including Yoga, Meditation, Group Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Sound Therapy, Smoking Cessation, Weight Loss & Nutrition, Breath Work and Sleep.

HOURS OF OPERATION: Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm; Saturdays 10am-6pm

Mocktails

Throwing a party this Valentine’s Day, or maybe for the Super Bowl? Don’t forget to include festive non-alcoholic drinks. No idea how to make a tasty non-alcoholic drink? Martha Carucci does because she and her friends had mocktail contests when she first started down the path of recovery.

For an alcoholic, big parties are a double-edge sword. How do you maintain friendships and remain social while celebrating with family and friends when you know temptation will be right there? Hosts can help the all-inclusive atmosphere by making sure there are non-alcoholic options available as well as plenty of food to choose from. These simple and thoughtful touches will make everyone feel welcome at your gathering.

To put things in perspective, and to get real about alcohol, talk to Martha Carucci, a self-described soccer Mom from Alexandria, Va. who has been sober and laughing at life since 2012. She doesn’t have a string of letters after her name but she does have a title she’s proud of, Recovering Alcoholic. And she has kept herself sane and sober through laughter. Here she talks with Dee Armstrong on WLTZ in Columbus, Ga about her road to recovery. Visit Martha’s blog Sobrietease where it all began.

UMIE

Are you ready for the most intense wireless pleasure toy ever designed? Or possibly, and more importantly, is your partner?

There are thousands of adult toys on the market, but you have never seen, or felt, anything like Umie! Umie utilizes intelligent sensor technology and an intuitive app to evoke mind-blowing, interactive sexual experiences – by yourself, with your partner or with anyone, anywhere!

Umie will be available mid-January, but we wanted to see if you would be interested in one of our limited review samples under embargo ahead of its launch?

Delivering a new frontier for digital and sexual pleasure, Umie features powerful dual high-speed motors and a heatable body for 360° of stimulation and unparalleled sensation, pleasure and intensity, meaning the power to play is literally in your hands. The toy features special modes that tap into the world of tantra, while allowing you to use your voice to adjust the intensity of the toy and create a personalized pattern of pleasure. You can also create a “pleasure playlist” and control Umie’s intensity or rhythm through music. With 100 levels of vibration control and eight pre—programmed pleasure modes, there has never been a more advanced adult toy available.

Umie also seamlessly interfaces with its accompanying app, allowing users to connect via WiFi to remotely control all its features. Whether you are in the same bed, on other ends of the house or on opposite sides of the world, you can play with your partner and bring them an unequaled level of pleasure. Umie is incredible for solo use and is a great way to stay “connected” to any long-distance relationship.

Party Pics – Brooklyn Black Tie Ball

On Thursday, October 6, 2016 Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy (Conservancy) held its fourth annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball and After Party. The sold out event hosted over 800 guests and raised $1.1 million, a new record for the Conservancy. In 2015, the event raised $1 million.

The event took place on Pier 2 of the Park and included a cocktail reception on the promenade and a seated three–course meal. Guests enjoyed the magnificent Manhattan skyline and sweeping views of New York Harbor, which served as the backdrop for an evening celebration of one of New York City’s most spectacular waterfront parks. After the Ball, the Conservancy Currents, the Conservancy’s young professionals group, hosted a ticketed after party where guests participated in a high-energy gathering. It included an open bar, snacks and dancing under the stars with DJ Herbert Holler from the Freedom Party.

Fulfilling the Conservancy’s vision for turning a neglected strip of waterfront into a verdant public space over 30 years ago, Brooklyn Bridge Park has provided New York City with an extraordinary place to play, learn, connect, and be inspired.

Proceeds from the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball will help keep the Park vibrant, beautiful, and growing; directly supporting the Conservancy’s over 500 free and low cost activities and events. Over one million Brooklyn Bridge Park visitors have enjoyed the Conservancy’s education, cultural, fitness, recreation, and arts programs. In 2016 alone, more than 170,000 individuals enjoyed Conservancy events including kayaking, waterfront workouts, and environmental education classes, as part of its extensive lineup.

At this year’s Ball, the Conservancy honored noted humanitarian and business executive, Barry S. Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group and the founder of SH Group and 1 Hotels. With a commitment to changing the standard for socially responsible hospitality, Mr. Sternlicht will debut 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge early next year. The Conservancy celebrated Barry S. Sternlicht’s personal and professional commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and design excellence and honors his leadership in the philanthropic and civic life of New York City.

The Conservancy also paid tribute to Regina Myer, the outgoing President of Brooklyn Bridge Park for her years of service and vision that helped to establish the Park as a world renowned destination. Under her leadership, the 85 acres were transformed from an inaccessible waterfront into a world-class park that now receives over 4 million visitors annually.

“The annual Brooklyn Black Tie Ball has become a hallmark event for the Conservancy.” said Nancy Webster, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. “We were elated to honor Barry Sternlicht and his philanthropic generosity and commitment to sustainability. His support will help ensure Brooklyn Bridge Park remains a world class waterfront public space filled with first-rate programming that all ages can enjoy. Additionally, we were delighted to pay tribute to Regina Myer’s transformative vision in bringing the Park to life and we wish her great success in her next endeavor.”

“The Brooklyn Black Tie Ball has become a wonderful autumn tradition at the Park and a great way to support the Conservancy’s programs that make BBP such a special place,” said Regina Myer, outgoing President of Brooklyn Bridge Park. “We congratulate honoree Barry S. Sternlicht, whose 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is going to be a great addition to the Park and to the neighborhood, and are grateful to everyone for their commitment to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Conservancy.”

Dr. Dabber Boost E-Rig

The Dr. Dabber Boost is the first portable, battery powered rig, employing a titanium domeless nail much like you would see in a traditional glass rig setup. The device heats to an optimal temperature with a simple button press, making it one of the easiest dabbing solutions available. Click the power button 3 times when using the titanium nail/ceramic nail, or click 5 times to unlock a higher heat setting for use with the quartz nail (included). When attached to the included glass water filtration piece, the Boost replicates the dabbing experience perfectly. Capable of 30-40 uses on a single battery charge, the Boost eRig truly is the best of both worlds: a portable dabbing experience without any sacrifice.
