Bellingham Massage Clinic

A few times a year I get asked if I offer massage packages. Apologetically I say that I don’t, *sad-frowny face,* sorry. I was asked again recently and totally had a moment of clarity. I need/want to explain why I don’t offer them and more people need to hear/understand.  This is what I do for [...]

Can you take my insurance? Part Two Navigating insurance can be complicated. Unfortunately, there are several reasons using your insurance might not be an option. The most common reason I come across is that massage benefits aren’t included in a plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield plans from outside of Washington State often exclude massage completely [...]

Can I bill your insurance? Maybe, maybe not. Obviously people want to keep their healthcare as affordable as possible. Often this includes wanting to use health insurance to cover massage therapy. I know how confusing it can be and as such I am always happy to look into it for clarification. Unfortunately, it’s a common [...]

I follow and donate to a couple of animal charities in our area. Today I want to touch on WeSNiP. You probably heard that they provide affordable spay and neutering for low-income people and their pets. Originally they worked out of a huge bus but now have a static location they share with Animal Emergency [...]

I’ve offered gift certificates for awhile now. Not too long after I started offering them up here I saw a need for different options aside from just coming in to buy a gift certificate. In case you live out of state or your schedule doesn’t allow you to come in and pick them up, I [...]

My office will be closed for the holidays from Saturday the 22nd to Wednesday the 26th. I’ll be back to work as normal on the 27th. Happy Holidays! ~Melissa

It’s official. I moved my office upstairs into a fun little room a little over a month ago. While the ceilings are shorter it provides more leg room for me when I work and more room for storage. What massage room needs 12 foot ceilings anyway? It’s coming together slowly – I like taking my [...]

A few weeks ago I took a continuing ed class covering intraoral work. It was awesome. I’m so glad I took it and am super excited to start integrating it into my work. I’ll be writing more in depth information for my website soon. But for now I’ll leave you with this info – intraoral [...]

It’s November now, so that means that my price raise has come into effect. Everything across the board is raised by $5, except added essential oils. Rick and I ran through the website and changed all the prices, though do let us know if you see a place that uses an old price in case [...]

In the last few months I’ve been fighting with myself over my massage prices. After lots of time hemming and hawing I’ve come to the conclusion that in response increasing prices I’ve been experiencing, the time has come to raise my rates. As of November 1st everything will go up by $5. Thank you for [...]
