Secrets of Massage Magic

You are amazing! Your body is full of magic and mystery. In over 30 years of doing bodywork I’ve discovered some of this vast mystery and magic, some of which I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to share with you in the course of your massages, like in feeling unexpected connections in the body and surprising relief from simple techniques. But there’s more! And it’s too good not to share!

I’ve discovered

  • where there are potent points in the body that lead to quick relief,
  • what simple techniques there are to reduce tension where we carry it the most,
  • how to massage oneself or others in ways that leave us feeling better, too,
  • and more.

And I’m ready to share with you what I’ve learned!

Space is limited. So act now.

You love your friend/partner.

You notice when they’re in pain or have tension.

You want to help them feel more relaxed.

You’d like to give them a massage, but you have questions…

 

How do I find the knots?

How much pressure should I use?

How can my massage be more relaxing for them?

  • Given their particular body’s history, aches, pains and injuries?
  • Given the format we’re working with – on the bed, the couch or the floor

How do I maintain my stamina without working so hard I need to get a massage after giving one?

Spring Clean your Body!

Mar 19, 2024
Leave a comment

In this era for most people, the New Year is celebrated in the dead of winter. Millions of people around the world for over 3,000 years have been, and will today and for the next 13 days, be celebtating New Year or Nowruz, on the spring or vernal equinox.

Traditional celebrations include music, rituals and special things to eat. Some people celebrate this time of year by doing a deep cleaning of their homes, their lives or their bodies.

During this time of rising energy, are you doing or considering doing a cleanse?

If so, it’s a great time to use massage to help your body detox. Massage itself is detoxing and there are specific immune system boosting and detoxing techniques you can ask for to help you with your cleanse, including an abdominal massage. It can be gentle and very effective to help you let go of old stuff. To learn more, just ask.

However you celebrate, I’m wishing each and every one of you a very Happy New Year on this first day of Spring!

Revised Cancelation Policy

Possibly sick at your Massage Appointment? Read the latest updated policy to learn more:

Many contagious illnesses, from the novel coronavirus, Covid-19, to the common cold, can be spread by sneezing, coughing or even talking near someone. In support of our health, and maintaining a healthy environment for your massage where we will spend time near each other, we do not massage people when they are sick or “getting over being sick.” Getting a massage when you’re sick or have recently been exposed to someone who is sick is a bad idea for you and for the therapist as it could make your illness worse and spread the illness.

If you have any symptoms of being sick within 5 days before your appointment, please reschedule. Also, if you are not actively sick, but have been around someone within the last 5 days who you know is or has recently been sick, please reschedule.

If you show up to an appointment when you have recently been exposed to someone actively sick or are sick yourself, full payment for your appointment may be due and service declined. To avoid this uncomfortable and costly situation, as soon as you think you may be sick by your appointment time, and no later than 24 hours before your appointment, please reschedule.*

According to the Mayo Clinic the incubation period of a cold, after exposure and before the first symptom, can be 1-3 days. Before we show any symptoms, we may also be spreading a cold. “A person with a cold is contagious for the entire time their symptoms are present.”

We know Covid is contagious with our without symptoms, from 2-14 days for most people, longer for others. This is why I still mask.

If you have had Covid before your massage make sure you have had two sequential negative tests at least one day apart and have been 100% free of symptoms for at least 5 days.

 

You have the power to prevent the spread of disease. Please exercise this power.
