New Age Health Spa, the only destination spa in New York State, is a winner of the prestigious Spa Finder Magazine Readers` Choice Award for:

* Best Yoga
* Best Meditation Program
* Best Self-improvement Programs
* Best Massage
* Best Healing Therapies
* Best Creative Workshops
* Best Overall Recreation Programs
* Best Value for your Money
The 2002 Spa Finder Magazine Readers` Choice Awards honor spas that its readers have deemed “best of” in terms of services, treatments, programs and activities in twenty categories. Spa Finder Magazine is the top selling spa travel and lifestyle publication, and these awards represent the most in-depth consumer assessment of the spa market to date. Over 2,500 Spa Finder Magazine readers and visitors to www.spafinder.com cast ballots for more than 500 spa properties. A full list of the awards can be found in the September/October issue.

“Our Readers` Choice Awards serve as a guide to the top spas for specific spa experiences, provided by the best critics of all—our readers,” said Editor-in-Chief Malcolm Abrams. “We dug quite a bit deeper than `general interest` travel magazine spa polls. All the standard categories are covered, but our readers also weigh in on unique spa offerings like meditation, yoga, hiking, massage, skin care, creative workshops and healing therapies. These are the first awards to reflect the diversity of today`s spa experience.”

“We are an intimate spa with fewer than 40 rooms. To be compared with larger properties and ultimately chosen as winners in so many categories is incredibly rewarding,” said Patricia Fahie, Marketing Director for New Age Health Spa. “I believe this recognition is a testament to our outstanding staff.”

The Readers` Choice Awards will be given out at a dinner on October 22 during the 2002 ISPA (International Spa Association) Annual Conference in Anaheim, California.

New Age Health Spa, in Neversink NY, is conveniently located within a short driving distance from the major metropolitan cities of the tri-state area.
