Article: New health retreat

Mornington Peninsula Leader, September 24, 2002, Tuesday

THERE is more than just massage and mud at Melbourne's newest health retreat.

Launched last week, Medispa in Port Melbourne offers a holistic approach to dealing with a range of health issues. Managing director Anthony Cerantonio said the spa was designed to provide relief from the stresses and traumas of modern life.

"It is a lot more than a quick massage and a mud-bath," he said.

"The key is developing positive, long-term relationships that address the requirement of the mind and body."

Mr Cerantonio said the spa's therapies dealt with problem gambling, excess weight, smoking, stress, chronic illness and recovering from surgery.

The retreat will hold free seminars on stress management, weight loss, skin care and laser therapy over the opening weekend on September 21 and 22.

Medispa Health Retreat is at 403 Bay St, Port Melbourne. Phone: 9646 3422.
