PALESTINE — Since opening Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch four years ago,
Jamie Pettiette-Rhone has always strived
to bring the best, most up-to-date spa
treatments to the people of Palestine.
Starting out on her own as a certified
skin care therapist (or
aesthetician) on Mallard Street, Rhone
later moved her business to a larger
location on Palestine Avenue and added
treatments like Ionithermie and Aqua
Detox as well as massage therapy to her
operation.

Pettiette-Rhone, owner of
Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch in
Palestine and now a
certified
Hollywood Expressions
makeup artist, applies
makeup to client Renee

opened the local day spa
over four years ago, is
constantly expanding her
business to provide the
latest spa treatment for
customers.

“I am always educating myself on the
latest treatments and trends out there
so I can offer them to my clients,” she
said in a recent interview. “I want to
make people feel better, both inside and
out.”
In keeping up with the day spa’s growth
Rhone has added a larger staff,
including two massage therapists,
Christine Pennington and Kelly Neal;
three hair stylists Sondra Walker, Karen
Buth and Jamie Lipsey; a barber, Georgia
Neal and a second aesthetician Amy
Gordan. Pennington also serves as the
spa’s nail tech.
Rhone herself also has boosted her own
credentials, recently becoming a
licensed massage therapist and a
Hollywood Expressions makeup artist.
“To see how the business has grown over
the last four years is the dream I have
always had for it,” Rhone said. “I have
a great group of technicians here, all
with unique talents.”
In addition to her ever-expanding
services, Rhone also strives to grow her
product line. She has added a new makeup
line, Jane Iredale, to her list of
spa-quality product offerings as well as
Eye Kandy and liquid detox kits.
“Jane Iredale is the highest quality
makeup one can buy,” Rhone said. “There
are no fragrances, chemicals or FD&C
dyes in it — nothing that is
questionable for your skin.
“It can only be purchased from cosmetic
surgeons, dermatologists or from a
licensed skin care professional,” she
added.
Other products and services offered at
Jamie’s include: a second Aqua Detox
machine; the Dermalogica skin care line;
customized spa packages for couples,
bridal parties, etc.; at-home spa
parties; cellulite treatments;
weight-loss patches; Tahitian Noni
products; chocolate manicures and
pedicures; eyebrow and eyelash dyeing;
facials and body wraps.
“I want to thank my clients for
believing in me and what I am trying to
do for the people of
Palestine,” Rhone said. “I thank
them for their loyalty, their trust and
support of my business for the last four
years.
“I love every minute of this.”
