Isla Wellness wishes you a Happy New Year!
One of the most common sage wisdom often offered to each of us is the saying ‘Health is Wealth’. Health is a very important aspect of our lives that we often take for granted. We dismiss the onset of aches and pains and only deal with them when the pain becomes unbearable and we wait until our strength is sapped and we cannot do the things that was normal to us before. By then, oftentimes, our body has wasted away to the point where recovery is hard or challenging. Then, we belatedly feel regret as to why we have put off taking care of ourselves in the first place.
There is a saying from where we come from called ‘Maudi ti babawi’. Translated to English, it means ‘Regret comes last’. It indicates that we only get to realize the adversity of the choices that we make when everything is already lost and we could no longer recover. We are left with regret only and the question of ‘What if?’
What if I took care of myself?
What if I chose the healthy choices?
What if I did not ignore the signs and symptoms when they came?
What if I did not deny my body’s needs? (inimutan iti bagi)
Don’t be that person.
The fact that you are reading this now shows you that you still have the ability to take care of yourself, to chose to treat your body and to make healthy choices. Don’t wait until your body reaches the point of no return, in which case you are only left with the painful consequences of your choices.

- Time and Scheduling – we are available seven days a week and can meet you after working hours if needed depending on the availability of appointments. We are continually expanding our availability and reach to accommodate more people. All you need is to reach out.
- Doubts and Questions about treatment – it is normal to be apprehensive about treatments particularly if this is your first time or you had bad experiences in the past
- First Time – we will educate you and insure that you are an active participant throughout the treatment journey. We do informed consent and we are here to explain any procedure, benefit, contraindications, self care and explanation of the effects of treatment to your body.
- Bad experience in the past – there are many reasons as to why you may have had bad treatment experience in the past. We can ease you into those concerns and address them before any treatment will commence. Our therapists are carefully chosen and curated to have the best experience and the proper training and credentials before you are given to their care. If we are unable to meet your concerns, we will refer you to someone who will and you have the right to modify or deny treatment.
- Experience of fraud during financial transactions with services – We are committed to be transparent with you every step of the way. We document and record everything and those are available at any time upon request. We are teachers of Massage Therapy and recognize the grave responsibility of upholding laws and regulations. We can educate you on ethical and legal protocols regarding services and can refer you to appropriate persons of authority if you feel that you are victims of fraud.
- Loyalty to another practitioner – while loyalty is a wonderful trait to have, when it comes to personal health, you have to ultimately decide what is best for you. Every ethical therapist understands that clients such as yourself deserve the best care and it is important to find the person who can meet your therapeutic needs.
