You
have a fancy gym right in your building, and yet taking the elevator
the necessary six flights down to get to it stops you in your tracks
every time. And anyway, who's going to watch your baby? Sure, you
could sneak him in when it's empty and change the channel on the
TV above the treadmill from CNN to Sesame Street, but suppose someone
shows up? And then there's that spot between your shoulder blades
– it's been aching for weeks and you still haven't managed
to make yourself a massage appointment.
But sometimes when you're pregnant or a new mom, just making it
to the store or home from work is an Olympic achievement. But this
is NYC after all, where there's a scratch for any itch you can think
of. All AroundU is a new service that brings the total package of
health, nutrition and relaxation to parents on your preferred schedule
and in the comfort of your own home.
Founded by Sarah DeSantis, a prenatal massage therapist, who
came up with the idea after listening to her clients talk about
the struggles and demands of being pregnant and having to get around
the city. She's put together a team of professionals – all
specialists in their fields – who will come to you with all
the materials needed for each service.
Book a massage, sign up with a personal trainer, consult a nutritionist,
find a babysitter or indulge in a facial. The personal training
options include yoga, Pilates, cardio and stretching exercises that
prepare the body for birth and help get you back into shape after
the baby. There are a variety of massage therapy techniques tailored
to reduce prenatal and postnatal aches and pains, and nutrition
choices range from individualized guidance to personalized meal
plans and cooking lessons. Rejuvenation services such as facials
and knitting classes add important elements of relaxation. All AroundU
even offers a child care placement service that matches parents
with prescreened and qualified nannies based on your needs
and price range.
That pretty much eliminates any reason not to take care of "you".
And if you're feeling healthy and happy, then chances are, everyone
else in your household will too.
Now that's hitting it out of the ballpark.
