We were very excited to chat with Kristin Martelli of GROW (Green Ridge Om & Wellness) and find out more about the wellness community she is creating. You won't want to miss out on some of the special wellness treats she has created for adults and children at Arts on the Square.
Tell us a little about your company and
what inspired you to start it.
We are a new and
growing community based wellness center in Scranton. GROW is dedicated to a simple, natural, and
holistic lifestyle that helps support our patients/clients on their journey
into wellness. We believe in health care vs sick care and advocate true
preventive "medicine." All of this is reflected in the quality of our
services, the products we use (organic massage cream, therapeutic grade
essential oils, etc), the classes we offer at the center, and the businesses/professionals
we endorse or refer to.
I truly believe in
what I do, and feel that more people in our community can benefit from holistic
practices if there were more opportunities for them to do so. Cost, location and lack of information are
the three biggest factors keeping people away from quality holistic
practitioners. Dr Taylor and I share
similar outlooks on best wellness practices and I am very grateful that he
encouraged me to share space with him to see out our visions together.
What services do you
offer?
We currently offer
chiropractic, massage, reiki, craniosacral, whole food supplements, high
quality vitamins, and all natural weight loss solutions. As we grow, we will be adding other
professionals to our team.
What is your background and
what led you to the wellness field?
Since
childhood, I have had access to many books about spirituality and natural
healing. My father and I would get into some really neat conversations! Right
before he passed away in 1994, he handed me a book that ironically led me to
seek alternative forms of healing to cope with that loss. Over the years, I met and studied under many
different healers and then, in 2005, I enrolled myself into the Massage Academy
of the Poconos. My children keep me
inspired as I learn alternative methods to help heal their various
ailments/conditions and discover amazing results. Naturally, I want to share
what I've learned with anyone who seeks it out. I am nationally recognized as a
Board Certified Massage Therapist and licensed to practice massage in the state
of Pennsylvania.
What will you be featuring at the Arts
on the Square festival? Will you be offering any services?
We
will be offering 10 minute chair massages for only $5!! There will be a sign up
sheet at our table to schedule your massage on a first come, first serve basis.
We will also have our therapeutic grade aromatherapy products and handmade
heat-able packs with essential oils both at a discounted price for the
day. For the kids or kids at heart: face
or body painting of healing art symbols will be available for a donation. Our popular children's “game” that encourages
kids to drink more water throughout the day will also be available for
purchase. I will also have free
literature about some of the other services/products we offer at our center
and, of course, positive vibes are always free and in abundance at GROW!
What
is your most popular service or product?
Our
package deal has been a big hit.
Currently, we are offering a half hour massage and a chiropractic
adjustment (including initial consultation for first comers) together for only
$40!!!
Is there any other information you would
like us to highlight about you or your work?
We
also carry Om in the Attic products by Maura Cummings and Blessed Be Herbal
Creations by Sarah Yzkanin at our office!!!
