Owner's History
Gwen, the owner of Bear's Den Cottages knows from first hand experience the amazing benefits of the wellness/spa experience and lifestyle.

13 years ago she experienced chronic health issues from a combination of major surgeries, poor diet, lifestyle (work-a-holic/perfectionist). At 27 years of age, with such imbalance in her life, she developed chronic scoliosis, complete adrenal exhaustion, hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia. Chronic allergies and chronic fatigue plagued her as well (she would find later she had high levels of Mercury and Aluminum). Fortunately, she fell into the world of alternative wellness and massage therapy just in time. She began by going for 2 massages per week at a local Aveda Salon. At the same time she delved into the world of healthy eating, studying alterative nutrition and cooking with all organic food. With such noticeable differences she hasn’t stopped since, 13 years later.

Just some of the therapies Gwen has had done in her ongoing course of healing are the following. Most of these therapies she has had at least 8-15 treatments, so she is familiar with, open to and has benefited from a wide spectrum of alternative healing therapies. Objecting to taking medicine, Gwen has dealt with the pain and sickness through only massage therapies, homeopathic remedies, light therapies, healthy diet.

1. chair massage
2. deep tissue massage
3. structural integration massage
4. ionic cleanses (almost 50 sessions for metal removal)
