A Century-Old Charm Meets Modern Comfort

Imagine Hank and Meg Mitchem—a made-up couple with a very real problem. When they purchased their 100-year-old home in Salt Lake’s Sugarhouse neighborhood, it felt like a dream come true. The original wood floors, cozy fireplace, and tree-lined street gave it the warmth and character they’d hoped for. But as the seasons changed, the dream began to show its cracks—literally. The historic windows, while beautiful, let in more than just sunlight. Drafts, noise, and rising energy bills quickly made it clear that something wasn’t right.

Although the Mitchems constantly adjusted the thermostat, the house never stayed warm in the winter or cool in the summer. Some rooms were drafty, others stuffy, and temperatures shifted from one corner to the next. After months of trying to make it work, it became obvious: the original single-pane windows, though full of charm, were no longer functional.

Hesitant to modernize their historic home, the Mitchems researched options that would blend style and performance. That’s when they discovered Advanced Window Products. Founded in 1986 and owned by Salt Lake City natives, Advanced Window Products had built its reputation not just on quality windows but on giving back to the community through organizations like Make-A-Wish Utah and Habitat for Humanity. Hank and Meg felt confident they had found a company that cared.

From the first consultation, they were impressed. The Advanced Window Products team arrived promptly, measured each window with precision, and clearly explained the process. There was no pressure—only guidance tailored to their needs. They appreciated how the team truly listened and helped them select windows that would improve energy efficiency without compromising the home’s timeless character.

The Mitchems chose custom-built, energy-efficient vinyl windows with double-pane, argon-filled glass and a triple Low E coating—designed to handle Utah’s dramatic climate shifts. Locally manufactured and measured down to the nearest eighth of an inch, the windows fit perfectly and provided immediate results. Their utility bills dropped noticeably, and the home’s comfort improved from the first season.

Beyond the practical benefits, the new windows gave their Craftsman home a subtle yet stunning facelift. They chose black frames with contoured interior grids, preserving the architectural integrity while adding a modern touch. The transformation was striking, and neighbors immediately took notice.

Another big reason they chose Advanced Window Products was the peace of mind that came with a lifetime warranty. Because Advanced Window Products handles everything in-house—from manufacturing to installation to service—the Mitchems knew they had reliable, long-term support. Even accidental glass breakage was covered, and the warranty is transferable, adding extra value if they ever choose to sell.

Cost was a concern at first, but Advanced Window Products‘ flexible financing options made the project possible without dipping into savings. They began seeing energy savings immediately, making the investment feel even smarter.

While Hank and Meg’s story is imagined, the challenges they faced—and the solutions they found—are real for many Utah homeowners. Advanced Window Products has helped countless families across Salt Lake and beyond improve their comfort, efficiency, and home value. Their commitment to craftsmanship, local manufacturing, and lifetime support makes them a trusted choice for anyone ready to invest in their home’s future.

The sound of laughter and excited shouts filled the yard as James watched his two granddaughters race around the tree. “Come on, Grandpa!” one of them called. “We bet we can run faster than you!” the other added, grinning. James smiled, stood up from his red Adirondack chair, and slowly made his way down the stairs. Though it was only 9 a.m., the morning breeze felt warm against the sweat forming on his forehead. The air was heavy, and he could feel his energy slipping. By the time he reached the bottom of the steps, his granddaughters were already at his side, tugging at him, urging him to “Chase us, chase us!”

A wave of guilt crept in. He was only 55—not old by any means—but he knew his health wasn’t where it should be. The extra weight he couldn’t seem to lose had started to slow him down. Looking at the two bright faces filled with excitement and youth, James knew he needed to do something—he wanted to be more present in their lives, and for years to come.

While there are many reasons people consider weight loss treatments, the most powerful is often the desire to improve overall health and wellbeing. That’s what motivated the owners of Utah Trim Clinic to open their doors and provide personalized, whole-body care. Weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and often it’s not sustainable without the right support. At Utah Trim Clinic, every customer receives a tailored treatment plan designed to work for their body, their lifestyle, and their goals.

Utah Trim Clinic offers doctor-prescribed medication that’s customized to meet each person’s unique hormonal needs. This individualized approach produces more effective results and allows for long-term success. They also use advanced tools like a 3D body scanner that tracks changes in specific areas—providing a more accurate and encouraging picture of progress than numbers on a scale alone. In addition, the clinic offers non-invasive body sculpting treatments designed to tighten skin, reduce fat, and build muscle. These treatments help clients not only lose weight but also feel confident and look great—whether they’re getting ready for a vacation or simply want to feel better in their own skin.

But the services themselves are only part of what makes Utah Trim Clinic stand out. The team at Utah Trim Clinic treats it as a privilege to support each customer, getting to know their personal stories and their reasons for walking through the door—whether it’s to improve their confidence, increase their longevity, or simply feel better day to day.

Utah Trim Clinic’s commitment to wellbeing also extends beyond their walls. The owners believe health and wellness should be more accessible throughout the community. That’s why they regularly offer free treatments and services at local events—giving more people the chance to explore their options and take the first step toward better health.

Health and wellness aren’t just about appearance. They’re about how we live—how we move, how we connect, and how we show up for the people who matter most. Health affects every corner of life. Do you avoid certain events out of insecurity, or find yourself unable to keep up with your kids or grandkids? The entire team at Utah Trim Clinic understands that deeply. Every one of them has seen firsthand the difference better health can make, and they’re honored to help others experience it.

Just like James, many people find themselves wanting to do more, be more, and live more fully. That life isn’t out of reach. With the right support and care, you can keep up with what matters most.

When Dr. Vineka Heeramun first decided to pursue a degree in medicine, she knew she wanted to focus on mental health. Driven by a deep passion for addressing the stigma surrounding mental health, she aimed to provide comprehensive care to a wide range of patients. Dr. Heeramun received her medical degree in 2005, choosing to specialize in both internal medicine and psychiatry. She pursued residency training at Southern Illinois University and is dually board-certified in both specialties. This unique combination allows her to understand her patients holistically, treating them as whole individuals rather than just a set of symptoms.

Initially working in inpatient psychiatry, Dr. Heeramun witnessed multiple patient relapses leading to frequent hospitalizations. This inspired her to establish Joyful Horizon Psychiatry, a clinic focused on providing continuous, effective outpatient care. Here, she offers medication management alongside a holistic approach to mental health.  Their mission is to offer hope and healing to those who need it most, ensuring they receive the compassionate and innovative care they deserve.

The clinic is also at the forefront of psychiatric treatment, integrating cutting-edge therapies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy to better serve patients with treatment-resistant conditions.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is primarily used for patients with major depressive disorder who have not responded to other treatments. TMS has shown remarkable results, helping patients regain their mental clarity and emotional stability without the side effects commonly associated with medications.

Ketamine therapy involves the administration of low doses of ketamine, a well-known anesthetic, to treat severe depression and other mood disorders. This therapy has been a game-changer for many patients, offering rapid relief from depressive symptoms. By targeting neurotransmitter systems in the brain, ketamine can quickly alleviate depression, making it a vital tool for those in crisis.

Despite advancements in understanding mental health, the stigma surrounding it remains pervasive. Many people individuals still hesitate to seek help due to fear of judgment or misunderstanding. Dr. Heeramun is dedicated to breaking down these barriers, educating the community, and advocating for mental health awareness. She believes that if she fosters a supportive and open environment, more people will feel empowered to seek the help they need.

Dr. Heeramun finds immense joy in witnessing the transformative journeys of her patients. She regularly sees patients transition from being profoundly depressed and apathetic to being full of life, functioning well in society, and finding joy in their daily lives. Seeing someone’s life change before her eyes is incredibly rewarding.

However, there are challenges associated with cutting-edge treatments. While many procedures do not require prior insurance authorization, treatments like TMS and ketamine do. Navigating the complexities of insurance approvals can be a hassle and often delays patient care. Nevertheless, Joyful Horizon Psychiatry accepts insurance to provide care to a broader range of patients, especially in Utah, where many people rely on their health insurance. Despite the complexities and varying criteria of different insurance companies, the clinic has streamlined its processes and achieved a 99% success rate with prior authorizations. This efficiency ensures that patients receive life-changing treatments without unnecessary delays.

At Joyful Horizon Psychiatry, patients are never just a number; team members strive to make patients feel welcomed and valued. Unlike larger corporate clinics where patients may feel rushed, they ensure that each patient has enough time to be heard and understood. While insurance often dictates appointment durations, they do their best to be efficient yet compassionate, actively listening and holding space for each patient’s unique experiences. They create a safe and supportive environment, offering empathy and resources to help patients understand their conditions and treatment options. Their smaller clinic size allows them to maintain a personal touch and commitment to each patient’s well-being, setting them apart from the competition.

Through her dedication, innovation, and compassionate care, Dr. Vineka Heeramun has made a profound impact on the lives of her patients. Her work with TMS and ketamine therapy continues to bring hope and healing to those in need, breaking down barriers and transforming lives one patient at a time.

When Hailey Ebert decided to try BOTOX, she was both nervous and embarrassed. For years, she had been self-conscious about her crow’s feet but never felt confident enough to pursue medical procedures. Everything changed, however, after a coworker raved about her fantastic experience at Maven Medical Arts. Intrigued, Hailey decided to give it a try. Although she had considered facial injections before, she was hesitant to trust just anyone. Her coworker assured her that the team at Maven were top-notch experts, providing only the highest level of service. As Hailey researched the company further, she was impressed by what she discovered.

In 2019, industry veterans Brooke Anderson and Emily Matheson founded Maven Medical Arts to shake up the Utah beauty scene. Utah didn’t need another day spa or cosmetic treatment center; it needed an innovative, personalized experience to achieve natural, balanced beauty. Brooke and Emily knew what was lacking and were driven to create a space of expertise without pretension. Their priority? Ensuring clients experienced all the comforts of a 5-star facility while maintaining a supportive, memorable environment. And thus, Maven Medical Arts was born. Maven’s mission is to provide lasting value to every client, starting from the very first visit. With over 25 years of combined experience, Brooke and Emily were more than qualified to lead the charge.

Brooke Anderson has been a stalwart in the industry for over 15 years, with a background that includes 20 years as an RN in Labor & Delivery. In 2006, she transitioned to collaborating with plastic surgeons, making significant contributions to the local scene such as co-founding one of the first medical spas in the valley. Since then, Brooke has been actively involved in injecting. She even trains other providers, shaping the expertise of many injectors in the valley. She serves as a speaker and trainer for Allergan Medical Institute, renowned for products like BOTOX, Juvederm, and Kybella. Additionally, Brooke is a member of the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses and the American Med Spa Association, currently pursuing her Masters in Nursing (FNP).

Emily Matheson, a Revance Trainer with over 10 years of experience, found her passion for aesthetics after working in a cosmetic surgery center, where she started as a scrub tech. She spent over 14 years in the OR, working as a Circulating and PACU nurse, and served as the Nursing Director of a Surgical Center for six years. Emily regularly attends and speaks at conferences and trainings and is an active member of the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses. She is currently pursuing a Nurse Practitioner Degree.

When Hailey booked her initial meeting, she was pleasantly surprised. Maven not only boasts a team of highly experienced injectors but also prioritizes personalized treatments. Hailey had expected a hard sell for thousands of dollars in injectables, but instead, she was thrilled when the team worked to develop a fully customized skincare plan for her. Cosmetic injections are not a one-size-fits-all procedure, and the aestheticians at Maven wanted to ensure a natural look for Hailey. They explained other potential options and services, including bioidentical hormones, sexual wellness, facials, laser treatments, and medical weight loss. The nurse explained to Hailey that Maven Medical Arts had a highly skilled team, with nurses and nurse practitioners available to do injections, weight loss procedures, and hormones, and aestheticians that could help with laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, facials, and skin treatment plans.  Hailey was impressed by the way they listened to her concerns and hesitations. Together, they developed a custom treatment plan that perfectly fit Hailey’s needs.

A month after her first treatment, Hailey was over the moon. Thanks to the medical-grade skincare regimen prescribed by Maven, her skin looked the best it had in years. The facial injectables had been done just right, giving her a youthful, glowing appearance without looking too artificial or obvious. Hailey loves her results and plans to work with the team at Maven Medical for the long term. Their commitment to the highest standards guarantees the best possible results. Additionally, the team’s kindness and warmth provided a welcoming and comfortable experience. It’s no wonder Maven is a leader in Utah.

In the heart of Salt Lake City lived Judith, a vibrant 32-year-old mother of seven-year-old Carlos and newborn Juan. Judith’s joyful demeanor masked the profound hearing loss she’d had since birth. Her life was largely silent, filled only with the imagined sounds of her family. Determined to improve her hearing, Judith researched her options and, upon seeing the glowing recommendations, chose to visit Mountain West Hearing Center in Millcreek, known for the compassionate care of audiologists Faye Mitsunaga and Karyn Hodge.

Faye Mitsunaga’s impressive credentials and deep roots in the community influenced Judith’s decision. Faye, who grew up in Salt Lake City, earned her BA degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology from the University of Utah and her MA degree in Audiology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. With over 35 years of experience, Faye is a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology and board certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Her extensive background includes the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, hearing aid evaluation and aural rehabilitation, vestibular and balance testing, newborn screening, tinnitus treatment, and ear protection.

Karyn Hodge, AuD, CCC-A, also brought impressive qualifications. She received her BS degree from the University of Utah and her Doctor of Audiology from A.T. Still University. Karyn is board certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is a fellow with the American Academy of Audiology. She has experience with balance testing, audiological evaluations, hearing aid selection, aural rehabilitation, and tinnitus management for patients of all ages.

With her infant cradled in her arms and Carlos by her side, Judith entered the clinic with a mix of hope and trepidation. Carlos, wise beyond his years, stood proudly as his mother’s interpreter. Dr. Karyn Hodge greeted them warmly and led Judith through a comprehensive audiological evaluation.

The evaluation consisted of several diagnostic tests. First, Pure Tone Testing measured Judith’s ability to hear sounds of various pitches and volumes through air conduction. Wearing headphones, Judith identified a series of tones, and the results were charted on an audiogram, which showed the type, degree, and configuration of her hearing loss. Next, Bone Conduction Testing measured her inner ear’s response to sound by bypassing the outer and middle ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve. This test helped determine whether Judith’s hearing loss was conductive or sensorineural. Additionally, Judith underwent Tympanometry testing, which tested her middle ear’s response to air pressure to further pinpoint the type and location of her hearing problem.

Karyn, with Carlos’s help, explained the results and discussed the possibility of hearing aids, but Judith’s heart sank at the cost, knowing it was beyond her means. Her disappointment was clear as she thought of never hearing her children’s voices. Seeing her distress, Karyn consulted with Faye and returned with older, reconditioned hearing aids in excellent condition, offering them as a temporary solution. Judith’s eyes filled with gratitude as Karyn placed the hearing aids in her ears and turned them on. Hearing Carlos and her newborn for the first time, Judith’s eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face as she embraced her son, the room filled with emotion.

Years passed, and Judith’s life transformed as she could now hear her children’s laughter, her husband’s loving words, and everyday sounds that had eluded her. The family’s immense gratitude for the gift of hearing led them to save diligently for the best hearing aids available. Returning to the clinic with her husband, Judith’s journey and their decision to invest in top-of-the-line hearing aids deeply moved Faye and Karyn. When Judith was fitted with the new devices, her auditory world became even clearer and richer, allowing her to hear the subtleties in her children’s voices, the gentle rustle of leaves, and her husband’s whispered words.

Tears of joy once again flowed, and they were shared by the entire family. Judith thanked Karyn and Faye not just for the hearing aids but for giving her a gift that transformed her life. Her journey from silence to sound was a testament to the power of hope, love, and perseverance. The simple act of hearing had woven her family closer together, enriching their lives with the sounds of everyday life.

When Kit and Ava Gray bought their home in Sandy, one of the major selling points was the large backyard. They dreamed of having a space to entertain, imagining lively backyard parties and elegant dinner events. However, over the past few years, the yard slowly became too much for them to manage and transformed into a tangled mess of overgrown grasses and weeds. What was once their favorite aspect of the property had become an eyesore, something they both avoided as much as possible. After spending an evening in a friend’s beautifully landscaped backyard, Kit and Ava spent the entire drive home wistfully discussing how they wished they had a similar space, rekindling their old dreams. They spent the next few weeks brainstorming ideas and finally decided they were ready to turn their abandoned space into a haven they could enjoy. Not knowing where to start, they reached out to a professional for help.

Their journey began with a phone consultation to discuss their project goals, location, and budget. Black Diamond leads the industry with a process-driven approach that ensures full understanding between both Black Diamond and its clients. The Grays were thrilled to discover that Black Diamond Landscape and Lighting prioritized longevity and low maintenance, helping them envision a yard they could relax and enjoy without the stress of constant upkeep or unexpected expenses. 

Next, the team at Black Diamond visited the Grays’ property to discuss their vision and project goals more thoroughly. The Grays were assigned a dedicated designer who helped them create a wish list for the project, complete with specific pricing. This allowed them to establish a budget that fit their needs. The Black Diamond team took accurate measurements of the project space to ensure precise figures for a comprehensive, line-itemed estimate. Kit liked the meticulous approach, and Ava was pleased to see such transparency throughout the process.

Since a low-maintenance yard was a priority, they decided to remove much of the grass, creating an eco-friendly, water-wise yard. The new design included a large flagstone patio with ample dining space and expansive flower beds filled with native flowers that wouldn’t require much care. The Grays were surprised to learn that Black Diamond were not only experts in landscaping but also had a deep understanding of current rebate programs. They introduced the Grays to Localscapes, a program designed to help Utahns reduce their water consumption in practical ways. By removing much of the unnecessary grass, the Grays qualified for significant rebates, reducing the overall project cost. Initially, they were worried that this would result in an unattractive, concrete-heavy yard. However, they were pleasantly surprised to see that the proposed changes included a large, beautiful cottage garden, a dining area, a fire pit, a water feature, and a reasonable area of grass. The layout made the area more accessible and easier to maintain. The Grays were impressed that their designer approached problems not just from a business standpoint but also from the customers’ perspective.

The transformation process began with clearing the overgrown weeds and grasses, followed by carefully laying out the flagstone patio and flower beds. The team worked diligently, ensuring each element of the design was perfectly executed. Kit and Ava were kept informed throughout the entire process, knowing exactly what would happen each step of the way.

The yard turned out beautifully. What was once an eyesore and a giant to-do list was now a lovely, easy-to-maintain, desirable space. The Grays loved using the space for hosting parties and found themselves enjoying the area just the two of them as well. The space was beautiful, and they were so glad they chose to work with Black Diamond. It was evident that the team was educated, hardworking, and honest.

In the end, Kit and Ava felt they got a good return on their investment. Black Diamond Landscape and Lighting was worth every penny, transforming their neglected backyard into a stunning, functional space that exceeded their expectations.

With their 15th anniversary just around the corner, Miles wanted to do something extra special to celebrate with his wife, Traci. His number one priority? Finding something relaxing they could enjoy together. Traci had been working long hours recently, seemed stressed, and needed pampering. With both of them busy with work, it had been a while since they had really connected, and Miles wanted to find something they could do together. He worried about finding a spa that could accommodate their desire to stay together, so he was thrilled when he discovered The Spa Lounge. This day spa not only offered multiple couples options but also boasted a high-end, luxurious experience without the outrageous pricing typically found at upscale spas. Miles was also pleased to learn that The Spa Lounge was locally owned.

Salt Lake residents Greg and Diana Lovato are the owners of The Spa Lounge. This couple purchased a previously failing day spa in 2015 and successfully grew it to over 130 employees and three locations. Diana has a background in Massage Therapy and has worked at some of Utah’s highest-rated spas, including Red Mountain in St George and Cliff Lodge in SLC. Greg was an IT Executive until he retired in 2023.

The need for relaxation is at an all-time high. Stress negatively affects all aspects of mental and physical health, often leading to chronic disease. The Spa Lounge wants to make relaxation services available for everyone. All customers are offered a luxurious experience, including customized lockers, robes, and slippers, in addition to a relaxing lounge area. As a full-service day spa, they offer massage therapy, aesthetics (facials, lash lifts, waxing, teeth whitening, etc.), and nail services.

Membership requirements are common, and Miles was surprised to learn that The Spa Lounge didn’t require a monthly membership. Curious, he asked the receptionist how they managed to be so successful when many other day spas insisted memberships were required to stay afloat. The receptionist explained that from the beginning, it had been a priority to provide amazing services to customers without limitations. They aim to make luxury spa services affordable and accessible to everyone without the need for a membership. This unique business model has paid off, with many customers remaining loyal since the spa’s opening, visiting monthly, if not weekly, and frequently referring new clients.

The Spa Lounge was exactly what Miles was looking for to celebrate their anniversary. It provided a high-end, luxurious spa experience without costing a fortune. Additionally, because The Spa Lounge offered such a large variety of services, Miles and Traci were able to create a fully custom day of relaxation. It was a wonderful experience, giving both Miles and Traci the chance to unwind, connect with each other, and celebrate the life they had built. As they left, Traci was already talking about how great the experience was and mentioned bringing her sisters back when they visited the next month. They both joked that if there were more locations, they’d send everyone they knew. Fortunately, The Spa Lounge has plans to expand, with 6–10 new locations expected to open throughout Utah over the next 3–5 years.
