2015 Design Competition

The Interior Design students at Randolph Community College are excited about the upcoming project for the 2015 Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library Interior Design Competition.  This competition consists of developing a design for a holistic day spa specializing in therapeutic treatment for multiple sclerosis patients, based on a given client profile and project overview.   To prepare ourselves even more for the design and competition, our class held a "spa research day" to gain more insight on spa design.

We were allowed to visit any spa or massage therapy of our choosing, and could elect to go as a class or individually.  I decided to make a visit to Blessed Massage, in Troy, North Carolina, as I had been here before and was impressed with the knowledge that the owner/massage therapist has to offer.  Cameron Higdon Wallace is trained in a variety of modalities and provides massage therapy services not only to humans, but also canine and equine.  In addition to having a degree in in Exercise and Sport Sciences, she is also a licensed massage therapist.  

I chose to visit Cameron not only due to the fact that she has helped me with pain management in the past, but I felt that her medical background would be a good fit in giving some input on the medical spa project.  Cameron agreed that holistic therapies and massage can be very beneficial to multiple sclerosis patients and assist in their healing.
