Join Us for the Grand Opening of The Center
Sunday, October 26th from 10AM – 4PM
Filling an unmet gap and growing demand for choices among consumers, a cutting edge new business has emerged in a 1880s Auburn landmark. The former St. John’s Episcopal Church located on the corner of Hoffman and East Genesee Streets was purchased two years ago by Mary Ann Giacona from Cayuga-Seneca ARC and has gone through extensive renovations.
Simply called “The Center,”St. John’s is now home to a holistic health center and spa that delivers options and a new approach to health and wellness for individuals who want more! The Center’s philosophy to health caters to the “whole of the individual” which includes exploring physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional concerns, as well as the personal, social, environmental, economic, and relational aspects in one's life that may be contributing factors.
The Center integrates Eastern and Western approaches to health, providing nearly two dozen integrative and alternative medicine services, a variety of spa services, and workshops that are geared to inform, empower, promote healing, and maintain wellness.
“Our healthcare goal is to eliminate the root cause of disorders, and to help individuals regain health more naturally, and with the least invasive approach as possible, rather than creating diagnostic labels and managing a person’s symptoms without actually changing the course of the disorder itself,” says owner Giacona.
Giacona specializes in Energy Medicine and has been involved with holistic medicine approaches for nearly twenty years. She has utilized and integrated many “alternative” therapies both personally and professionally, and has observed what works to repair and enhance health, and what doesn’t, among clients.
The Center’s team, which is comprised of over sixteen holistic health and service professionals, share similar health views and have assisted many individuals deal with issues that range from everyday stress and life challenges, to chronic and terminal illness with success. Bob White of Auburn is one of those individuals.
White shared, "I feel better than I have in the last ten years. I would highly recommend anyone with a diagnosis such as mine to seek out The Center immediately. I am confident that if I had found The Center at the beginning of my illness, I would not have had to endure such difficulties and I would have been able to control the symptoms much earlier on."
As for The Center’s environment, the short list of Giacona’s improvements includes installing Italian tile and marble floors, recessed ceiling domes and treatment rooms outfitted with private steam showers, a whirlpool tub, and fireplaces for couples’ massage sessions. Giacona also built a new kitchen space and tea room that caters to “social health” meetings and special events. Giacona consulted with architect Andy Ramsgard on design concepts and interior decorator Jesse Kline on the color scheme, surface material selections and treatment room décor.
During the October 26th open house celebration visitors will enjoy tours of the facility and light refreshments. The Center’s practitioners will be on hand to share more about their skills and services, giving demonstrations, and offering free skin care analysis, chair massages, discount coupons, and drawings for gifts and services.
