Before finding relief at the Urban Spa, one of our guests had a real struggle finding the right place for getting her pedicures.
Finding a business that offered her comfort during a relaxing service, as well as thorough and healthy results was not only a challenge but a true concern given the fact that she suffers from diabetes. Caring for your feet and receiving regular pedicures is extremely important for anyone with diabetes to promote and maintain good overall health.
Testimonials like this make the Urban Spa proud 🙂
“With a new diagnosis of diabetes three years ago I was overwhelmed. I had worked in hospitals and doctors offices long enough to know the ravages of improper foot care and bad circulation. I had also tried for many years to find a decent pedicure. I had suffered everything from nails improperly cut to a strange rash on my feet that took too many weeks to get rid of. I can’t say I was thrilled at my solution of DIY. Not the most terribly relaxing thing in the world but I thought I did a pretty good job. That was until I realized my boundaries were to stop at the first sight of blood- also not the most terribly relaxing thing in the world. After my diagnosis I saw a health watch report on the news. It said that 85% of all diabetic related amputations could be eliminated if people got foot care early in their diagnosis.
I am all over this I thought. Call in the qualified and everything will be fine. Now don’t get me wrong , I’m not poo pooing professional foot care delivered by a foot care nurse. I just quickly found out it wasn’t for me. I found it overpriced and incomplete for what I felt should be the end result. I was also disappointed that the hour I booked was taken up “digging” at seemingly normal nails only to turn them into troubled nails.
After receiving a number of e-mails from The Urban Spa and my poor toes full of split ,in-grown nails, I booked my first pedicure with Jen. The experience was none I had ever known. I was met with a latte, ushered to a room where a warm water soak awaited me in a tub that was lined and meant for me and me alone. I exhaled. From beginning to end the experience convinced me I needed this-monthly. I signed up for the platinum plan. A year later I have not regretted this. Jen’s expertise , knowledge and reassurance allowed me to trust her and nails that had become a problem at the hands of others were no longer a problem. I came because I had run out of options , I stayed because of the results, cleanliness and high standard of care. Thank-you Urban Spa “
Along with the testimonial, our guest sent us a very informative article by Everyday Health called “9 Pedicure Safety Tips for People with Diabetes.” It’s a great read and you can find it
