Hygeia Spa: Massage Meets Fitness Fusion

Marcy Yarborough and Anthony August: Crafting Wellness at Hygeia Spa and Fitness, Where Holistic Health and Personalized Fitness Converge

Marcy Yarborough and Anthony August, the dynamic duo behind Hygeia Spa and Fitness on University Parkway in Sarasota, are redefining wellness with a unique blend of massages, beauty treatments, and personalized fitness.

Marcy is a licensed massage therapist with over 20 years of experience and is board-certified through NCBTMB. She tailors treatments to individual needs, offering everything from deep tissue to relaxation with essential oils and hot stones. Committed to keeping clients surgery and medication-free, Marcy draws from her own experiences with injuries and surgeries, collaborating with local power partners for holistic health. She is very passionate about listening to her clients' needs. Having been an athlete herself, she understands the challenges faced by those recovering from injuries, whether it's from a car accident or post-surgery. This personal connection allows her to tailor massage treatments to the specific needs of athletes and those on the road to recovery, fostering a sense of trust and understanding in her therapeutic approach. Enthusiastic about the age-diverse and vibrant Lakewood Ranch community, she encourages supporting local businesses and cherishes the area's architectural variety. 

Hygeia Spa elevates its offerings with lash and brow treatments, along with skin aesthetician services. Perfect for relaxation or bonding, the spa accommodates couples massages and mother/daughter days, boasting a team of skilled massage therapists. 

Anthony, the fitness expert, prioritizes functional training focused on core, balance, and TRX bands, emphasizing everyday well-being over "bulking up". His approach aims to make the gym an inclusive and enjoyable space, as evidenced by his statistic that 80% of Americans haven't entered a gym due to discomfort. Anthony's diverse, ever-changing workouts, sans memberships or contracts, cater to all ages and abilities, serving athletes and post-rehab clients alike. Drawn to Lakewood Ranch's welcoming atmosphere and community spirit, Anthony values the collective effort to make the area a supportive home. Together, Marcy and Anthony provide a holistic, one-stop-shop experience, promoting well-being inside and out. Looking for a thoughtful gift? Hygeia Spa's treatments and fitness sessions make for ideal presents, especially with Valentine's Day around the corner. Give the gift of rejuvenation and well-being, a gesture that speaks volumes about care and self-love. www.hygeiaspaandfitness.com
