The Mind and Body Haven in Lakemont can’t really be described in one word. From relaxation therapies to sophisticated sport medicine treatments, owner Ena Weinstein offers it all. And now that her business occupies the entirety of the old Lakemont Lodge, she has the space to offer a full array of services designed to improved her clients’ strength, mobilization and stabilization.
“What we do here is very unique,” Ena says. “We don’t address just one ailment or symptom. We treat the body as a whole. Everything’s connected.”
Few are more qualified. Ena, a former two-time Olympian, has a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology (Florida International University) and Occupational Therapy (Barry University) as well as a Masters of Athletic Training (Life University). She is a licensed sports massage therapist and board certified in therapeutic massage and body work. She holds numerous certifications including Advanced Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy, Active Release Technique, Functional Movement Screening (FMS) Levels 1 & 2, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) certified, a Certified Kinesio Taping practitioner and an Iyengar yoga practitioner and teacher.
Ena also travels nationally and internationally as a therapist for USA Track & Field, USA Paralympic Track & Field, USA Beach Volleyball and USA Women’s Sled Hockey teams, treating some of the best athletes in the world as team athletic trainer and sports massage therapist.
In the expanded Lakemont Lodge, Ena plans to offer recovery services such as massage, sauna and a hyperbaric chamber upstairs and wellness and rehabilitations services on the ground floor. Services include:
Fisiotherapy
A variety of modalities to reduce pain, facilitate healing, and restore function. Includes functional movement screening, Myoskeletal alignment, joint mobilization and traction, cupping, active release technique, fascia manipulation, lymphatic & soft tissue massage.
Organic Spa Therapies
The Haven also offers spa messages – one of the organic spa therapies (with more coming soon) — that are a relaxation technique that is smooth, gentle and flowing, to promote general relaxation, relieve muscular tension, improve circulation and range of motion. Can include aromatherapy if desired. This option does not integrate with myoskeletal alignment.
Personal Fitness
Private individual sessions are tailored to the client’s fitness and overall needs. Sessions can take place at the studio, your home, your office or your gym or resort. A comprehensive fitness evaluation and health screening will be part of your fitness program so that you can achieve your goals accordingly. Fitness programs for all age groups and fitness conditioning – from moms-to-be, teenagers or to seniors that want to maintain their independence and vitality.
Customized to your needs, Ena can incorporate things that you like and add on modalities that will benefit you for optimal health.
- Iyengar Yoga is a form of hatha yoga that emphasizes the physical alignment on the poses (asanas), creating a sense of balance and lightness. This one-on-one session uses props (if needed), such us blocks, bolsters, blankets, belts, chairs and other props. The purpose of the props is to assist the client in attaining ideal alignment and optimal physical and physiological benefits from the asanas.
- Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance.
All services are also available for house/office calls in and around Lakemont. Please contact Ena for rates and appointments.
The reputation of the Mind and Body Haven has been established mostly by word of mouth. Ena’s consistent quality care and knowledge, along with her professional and meticulous — yet friendly — personality allowed her to quickly gain high-profile clientele that includes Fortune 500 CEO’s, professional athletes and entertainment celebrities. She now brings that same level of service to Rabun County.
