Wednesday, May 26, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C3 SUMMER FASHION Professionalism is what counts at Amazing Image By Nienke T. Jonkman ADVERTISING FEATURE TT 7 " aren Thistlethwaite was so impressed by the A ̂ p ro fe s s io n a lis m and high quality service of her long-time electrologist Beatrice Kovac, that she decided to open her own electrolysis business. With almost 10 years of experience in various facets of the health field, and upon the urging of Kovac, Thistlethwaite went back to school and studied electrolysis at the Electrolysis College of Canada. This extensive course consisted o f 600 hours of practical experience along with an understanding and practical experience with the process of laser technology. Local endocrinologist, Dr. Ronnie Aronson (who specializies in endocrinology and metabolism) taught the endocrine system at the college. Thistlethwaite then opened Amazing Image with a commitment to providing permanent hair removal and high- 7 understand the need and awareness for the removal o f unwanted hair. Like myself, there are plenty of men and women who are interested in feeling good about themselves" quality personalized service to her clients. "As a client of electrolysis I understand the need and awareness for the removal of unwanted hair," said Thistlethwaite. "Like myself, there are plenty of men and women who are interested in feeling good about themselves." Thistlethwaite believes we live in a culture of Took good, feel good,' and supports the idea of people doing what it takes to get there. However, when it comes to electrolysis, she stresses the importance of using a certified professional, who can show you their certificate of verifiable sterilization-- a standard in health practices, guidelines and procedures for infection control as determined by the Ministry of Health. "You also want to make sure your electrologist is properly trained and experienced with a minimum of 600 hours of practical experience," she added. She also noted the importance of a clean professional office, affiliations with recognized associations and an interest in ongoing education to stay updated in the field. Needless to say, Thistlethwaite belongs to many associations including the Society of Ontario Electrologists, International Guild of Electrolysis and Lasercom Clinics International. Soft and sophisticated Waterfront, dunes, beaches ... Like the elements of summer, this season's looks inspire a changing, fresh and very soft, romantic mood.

Soft, yet sophisticated and sexy, a double­ layer strap dress in jersey with back detail or a draped one-shoulder dress in cotton/wool stretch will captivate admiring eyes while allowing the freedom and versatility a woman seeks in summer dressing, as shown here, courtesy of Thomas Steinbruck. ■ comes to Oakville Place By Nienke T.

The ADD Centre is the place to do that when it com es to learning strategies and the ability to pay attention. A D D is written without periods because the ADD Centre focuses on ADDing to and optimizing performance. This ADDs to se lf confidence, efficiency and productivity. The formula for optim izing performance in academics, work and sports involves training using neurofeedback, biofeedback and metacognitive strategies. Feedback involves information being fed back to a person. Information gathered by the EEG (brain wave) instrument or by small sensors on the hand is conveyed to the client on a computer monitor. It tells what the mind and body are doing at a particular moment in time . With this feedback the client can learn self-regulation. Neurofeedback involves feedback o f information about your brain waves. These reflect different "mental states" including focus, attention, and concentration. Biofeedback involves feedback o f information concerning physiological states which reflect alertness, tension and anxiety. Metacognition in simplest terms is "thinking about thinking". It refers to executive thinking skills. It involves being conscious o f how you plan, learn and remember things. Clients with Attention Deficit Disorder learn to regulate symptoms o f inattention, impulsivity and restless/hyperactive behaviour.. Other clients do the optimal performance training to achieve a calm, reflective, organized approach to work. For more information call The ADD Centre at (905) 803-8066.
