An interview with Chantel Whipkey of Chantel Magazine


What does your business have to offer?:

Bodylogic offers many styles of massage therapy, everything from light
touch to deep tissue. We work on everyone old and young and have seen
quite a list of physical issues. Our Far Infra-Red Sauna is a dry heat
sauna that benefits skin and joints and feels great. We offer organic
skin care, facials and glycolic peels and waxing. We are also the
exclusive retailers of Juice Beauty organic products.  We also have
the most experienced acupuncturist in the region. Dr. Shang treats
nearly every organ of the body and is happy to answer questions.


When do you offer it?:

10:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays and 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays.
We are located on Grand Central Avenue, on the Garden level of the
'Shops at Grand Central'. Our website has more information, and a map.


What makes your business different from others?:

There are a few things that set Bodylogic apart from the rest of the
salons and day spas in the area. We've gone beyond the typical
offerings to focus on holistic benefits. That's why we say we are
"more than relaxation." We focus on services that improve the health
and wellness of our clients. We don't offer hair and nail services
because we feel they detract from the serenity of the space we strive
to create. Everyone is greeted warmly and welcomed, and we focus our
talents on each individual working to balance relaxation with benefit.
We also work with many doctors in the area, occupying a unique
position as integrative and complementary practitioners. We also have
the only classically trained acupuncturist in the area.



How did you get started in this business?:
Why did you chose this as a business venture?:

Once I finished my massage therapy training, I began working for
McCarter Chiropractic. While there, I saw many people in pain, stress,
and other issues. I saw the power of massage as true health care and
really began to focus on therapeutics. This is where I learned the
difference between discomfort and pain and that massage should never
be painful. I began to see the need for a neutral space for doctors
and chiropractors to refer their patients for massage therapy, and it
was then that I decided to move on to my own enterprise.That seems to
have worked out quite well.


Who else works with you and what do they bring to the business?:
What is their background in their particular area?:

Dr. Qingguo Shang OMD, L.Ac.,  Dr. Shang, our acupuncturist was born
and trained in Beijing, China. She has 26 years of experience and has
lived in the US for 20 years. Dr.Shang is the most experienced OMD
practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine and licensed acupuncturist
available in the region. She resides in Columbus, OH and is available
on Wednesdays.

Denise Headlee, our licensed aesthetician, just moved back to the area
from Palm Springs, California where she has been working at the Yacht
Club at Parker Meridian, a very high end luxury spa where she gained
extensive experience with the organic facials, glycolic peels and the
other services that we offer. Denise brings thorough attention to the
fine details of relaxation, experience with many skin types. and the
understanding that clean, healthy skin is important for a healthy
body, and postponing the signs of aging.

Heather Robinson LMT, Brings excellent deep tissue and Neuro-muscular
work to her table along with great listening skills and patience.
Heather trained in Charlotte, NC and practiced with a chiroractor, she
returned to the area in August of last year, and has four years of
experience.


Business goal for all customers:

It is not only a luxury to escape the stress of you life, it is a
priority. We want all of our clients to find Bodylogic a relaxing
place to address the health and wellness concerns they have. We want
everyone to take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of
their body and how it works. We provide real relief for our clients as
well as refuge and a receptive schedule.


What is the most beneficial thing your business provides for its customers?:

A new understanding of what heath care is. People like Dr. Andrew
Weil, M.D., Deepak Chopra, M.D. are showing us three things. First, no
one method has all the answers, so we help integrate all methods that
work. Second, prevention works and is cheaper in the long run.
Finally, medicine need not taste bad to be effective. However, we all
have to be responsible for ourselves and take the initiative to care
for ourselves before the body is in crisis. Bodylogic is part of this
new 'Integrative' understanding in health care. We are complementary
and alternative medicine. This is our work, finding physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual balance.


Who are your typical customers?:

We serve many people of all ages and all lifestyles in our community,
from construction workers to yoga teachers, children to the elderly.
We see people with issues like TMJ dysfunction, back and neck pain,
headaches and migraines, depression, anxiety and chronic pain. as well
as those who just need a break from the world.. I am very proud to say
I love this work. I love my clientèle. It takes all kinds of people to
make this happen and I am grateful to every one. So to all of our
clients reading this, you are the best. Thank you.


How long have you had the business?:

Bodylogic opened in August of 2006. The additions we have made since
our opening allow us to be more responsive and more convenient than
ever before. We're nearly through our first year and we are pleased
with the progress. We haven't done a lot of marketing or promotion, we
are relying on our skill and word of mouth from satisfied clients.


What do you hope for the business in 5-years?:

We hope to offer insurance billing, wellness counseling, and more
styles of bodywork. We will also be more involved with mainstream

medical offices. We have quite a few doctors referring patients now,
and I absolutely expect to see this continue to grow.
