Her vision, executed at her spa and through her product line, is to promote a healing lifestyle that transcends into all aspects of her clients daily lives. The College has a similar vision: the protection and enhancement of health - physical, psychological, spiritual and institutional.

"The College, like Cygalle Dias, is committed to a new standard of wellness that blends both Eastern and Western therapies," stated Lisa Pamintuan, President of the New York College of Health Professions located in Syosset, Long Island. "We're recognizing Cygalle because she's a leader in the emerging field of holistic wellness."

The honorary doctorate will be awarded at the Commencement Ceremony for the New York College of Health Professions graduating class of 2009 on Sunday, May 17th. The College, which is more than 25 years old, offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in holistic health and believes and teaches Integrative medicine, which combines the both traditional and complementary disciplines of Western and Eastern medicine.

"It's both humbling and touching to receive this honorary doctorate from such an impressive institution," stated Cygalle Dias. "The College leadership and I share similar visions, and plan on collaborating on some exciting special projects in the near future."

Cygalle Healing Spa at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is a vivid example of the level of holistic, healing programs offered by Dias. Utilizing advanced technologies and treatments influenced by ancient remedies, visitors engage in a relaxing and revitalizing experience including everything from organic treatments, holistic health counseling, yoga, chakra realignment, and healthy menu suggestions at the resort's upscale restaurants.

The Commencement Speaker is Michael Balboni, former New York State Homeland Security Czar and Senator in charge of tri-state Homeland Security Departments.
