Minimizing downtime and maximizing results – a case study on recovery. Recuperating from a procedure, especially when you experience physical discomfort post-treatment, or one where you may show signs that you’ve made a change to your appearance, can be daunting. Our current society has a really complicated view of cosmetic treatments … on the one hand, the field is growing by leaps and...

In honor of International Women’s Day, our CEO explores what feminine power is. Our passion is helping you live with expanded confidence, and we are so honored to be able to serve you! Women, I don’t know about you but I didn’t grow up thinking it was good to be a girl. To me, it seemed like being a girl was a huge liability. My body was weak. I bled. My emotions ran from hot to cold...

The holidays remind us how hard it is to prioritize ourselves. I bet whoever sang “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” wasn’t juggling work, kids, partner, presents galore and, oh yes – extended family who somehow got the idea they are on an all-service, all-day buffet and tour that starts and ends at your house… You’re not alone.

This is our meditation and our intention for 2018 at Sonata. You may be familiar with the Ellie Goulding song “Anything could happen” – and I cannot get that song out of my head this year. What if anything could happen? What if that miracle you have been waiting for could come to pass? What if you could take that big risk you’ve been wanting to take – and it...

by Elizabeth Janowski A patient emailed me this morning. She said she looks often at all of the patients on our site, and at all of our staff … and that they all looked so good, so youthful. She said she didn’t feel that way — and asked how she could look better too. I know this patient well. She has a stressful life and carries the problems of her family heavily on her shoulders. Her...

In all the rush of daily life, I know I can become caught up in thinking patterns that no longer serve me well. One way that I’ve found to change what, for me, can become a nagging negative cycle is to create and verbalize affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that you create (or find) with some frequency. I find saying them aloud (even in a whisper), daily, can shift my...
