LIFESTYLE LETTER
Hello friends,
May 2022 PUBLISHER

Karyn Slovin | karyn.slovin@citylifestyle.com
Did you know that May Day has its roots in astronomy? Traditionally, it was the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. As with many early holidays, May Day was rooted in agriculture. Springtime festivities filled with song and dance celebrated the sown fields starting to sprout. Cattle were driven to pasture, special bonfires were lit, and doors of houses, as well as livestock, were decorated with yellow May flowers. When I was growing up, my little sister and I would pick flowers from the field down the road and make May Day baskets out of construction paper, sewing notions and paper plates. Mrs. Stevenson, and her beauty queen daughter across the street, were the objects of our affection on May 1. We would tip-toe up her long driveway, hang the little basket on the front doorknob, and ring and run. She would come to the door, feign confusion and surprise, shrug her shoulders, sniff the flowers and look out toward our house, winking. We were thrilled. Little did we know this was another of our mother's lessons about paying it forward. That notion is meaningful to all the women in our issue this month. Enjoy their stories and DO drop off a basket of flowers to an unsuspecting neighbor on May Day. Shh, I won't tell! All my best,

Dr. Jaeson Courseault
Dr. Jaeson Courseault immediately greets you with a smile when you enter his office. Don’t call him a sports medicine doctor, he would prefer active medicine. Everyone should be active and often times you might need a little rehabilitation to continue being active for decades. Dr. Courseault is board-certified in family medicine and in sports medicine, a practice he honed coming from the locker rooms of Baylor, Moorehouse and Tulane Universities. He moved to Atlanta with his wife and young daughter to be closer to family in early 2020. Trading in his dream car (Corvette Z ‘06) for a Mercedes van, he renovated the van into a mobile exam room, which you can find in the parking lot of the LifeHope medical building. He continues to use the van for special appearances on the sidelines of sporting events, as well as senior home visits and visits to the homes of his more private clients. His vision is to provide a concierge experience to his patients. His partnership with LifeHope allows him to continue these services with the backing of a team of other well-qualified professionals in the active medicine field. Dr. Courseault’s open dialogue with his clients allows him to pinpoint the exact treatment needed to get the job done. When one treatment isn’t the exact answer, he is always ready to explore alternative treatment possibilities with his co-workers in the office suite. Housed in the LifeHope building on Great Oaks Way in Alpharetta, the
entire floor is dedicated to the practice of active medicine. You will find rehabilitation, therapy and performance NeuroKinetix with Bronson Walters, Train with Stamina sports performance and personal training with David Kross and Andre White, Alpha Sports Recovery chiropractic and therapeutic massage with Dr. Eric Somers, and of course Trif3cta with Dr. Courseault. In addition to this incredibly beneficial host of expert providers, LifeHope Healing Med Spa is also a partner, there to assist his patients and their families with their self-care journey, from skincare to body contouring. Creating not just a plan, but the right plan for each patient is key to Dr. Courseault’s practice. Medicine today has evolved so much since his medical school years only a decade back, he says “Medicine today is always changing to meet the needs of our patients. I’m eager to inform my patients about the latest developments.” Mental health is just as important as physical health in his methods for healing, as there is a key mental piece that needs to be addressed for the successful recovery of any injury. Dr. Courseault is continuing to enrich his practice with learning. He hopes to fill the expansive patient activity room at LifeHope with the active person or the person who wants to become active or active again: the definition of active medicine.

When most of us think about Beaver Creek and the Vail environs in Colorado, we think about skiing in the winter, right? But with endless trails, a bustling restaurant and shopping scene, gorgeous waves of wildflowers, stunning surprises from nature around every corner and activities and events galore in the summer, peak season is now year-round. If you’d like to be in the middle of all of the action, Beaver Creek Lodge is the absolute ideal place to stay.

Live in your world,
relax in ours... properties such as the fusion of curated art, renowned food, signature cocktails and soul-filling music along with the million-dollar views of the 11,400 feet behemoth, Beaver Creek Summit. The gorgeously outfitted rooms all have sitting areas and are perfect for both long and short stays. Be sure to check out the lobby’s thought-provoking art installation, “Climbers,” as well as the indoor/ outdoor pool flanked by the babbling brook and river stone that runs through Beaver Creek Village. During the day, be sure to take one of the jeep excursions to the top of the summit where you might just catch a glimpse of snow-peaked mountains, even in the warmer months. The gondola runs yearround and the lodge near the top is the perfect spot to bring a picnic or grab lunch to take in the expansive views. No matter what makes you smile - hiking, horseback riding, golfing, mountain biking, fishing, shopping - there are opportunities to carry you to the next level of vacationing. At night, head into the square to catch the outdoor community spirit, with screen-onthe-green movies, corn hole competitions, dance parties, and outdoor concerts. Indoors and on patios throughout Beaver Creek, inventive food is served up. If fresh-caught whole fish or sushi excites you, you’ll be hooked by Hooke. Be sure to ask to see the fresh selection table side. Italian restaurant Toscanini also gives all the foodie feels. Remember to make reservations in advance, because it is a local favorite. No matter the occasion - family fun, romantic jaunt, or friends getaway - look to Beaver Creek and Vail during the spring and summer seasons, where nature’s glory is on display.

MEET CINDA A CONVERSATION ON SUCCESS AND COMMUNICATION ARTICLE BY ALPHARETTA CITY LIFESTYLE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARYN SLOVIN AND PROVIDED

M UST SE E | HOM E + D ES I GN
Cinda Salazar is co-owner of Archadeck Outdoor Living of Alpharetta. She and her husband Mark own and operate Archadeck, designing and building patios, decks, porches and fire features. As more of us move outside this month, we caught up with Cinda to find out what inspires her and what trends she’s excited about this spring and summer. Grab a cup of coffee and take this to your favorite outdoor reading nook for a moment with Cinda. Q: We are celebrating women this month throughout the magazine. What are a few things have you learned over the years that have contributed to your success? A: I’ve learned over time how to adapt my communication skills to the variety of customers that I am in front of. I know that as a woman, I bring a different perspective to a mostly male industry. I think that’s a plus. I’ve also learned to trust my instincts and be confident in the decisions I make. Q: What advice would you give to your younger self about balancing work and life? A: When you own your own company, there are never enough hours in the day to get all the work done. You have to make sure you set time aside each day to take care of yourself and your family while setting realistic timelines with customers. I’ve become very good at controlling my calendar to keep things balanced. Q: As a designer of beautiful outdoor spaces, what are a few new trends are you excited about for projects you’re working on this spring? A: We saw a huge increase at the beginning of the pandemic for outdoor living spaces and we see that trend continuing for 2022. People are still working from home and want to create an outdoor space that allows for that, as well as more family time. We have seen an increase in screened porches, which give that indoor/outdoor space and also add great home value. We are also seeing an increase in hot tub decks with pergolas. It really is exciting to work with homeowners to design and build such fun spaces. Find more of Cinda’s ideas at Archadeck.com/Alpharetta CONTINUED >
