Learn to Manage Stress

Stress management is something we all can do better. While certainly getting a massage weekly – or if you are really lucky a few times a week – will help, it’s what you do away from my office that counts the most. If you have difficulty managing stress in general, the effects from a massage […]

Calender Problems

A bit over a week ago my main phone died and took with it, among personal things, my work calender. With the help of my clients I’ve remedied most of the issue. However, if you didn’t receive a phone call from me and you know you are scheduled in the month of June you might […]

Why I don’t offer massage packages

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 […]

WeSNiP

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 […]

Rate Increase

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.

The Dupont Building

It’s being painted before this lovely weather disappears. So as you are heading in for your next appointment pay attention […]

Construction!

Oh my word, it feels like there has been construction going on around my office for months. I’m not actually sure as to how long ago it started, but it seems to be far from done. I’m still working though and my clients are troopers! Thanks guys! A couple of instructions for navigating the construction. […]

Vacations

I wanted to leave a short post letting everyone know that I will be out of town and unable to return emails or phone calls from Tuesday June 19th until Tuesday June 26th. I’ll be back to work as normal on the 27th and will get back to anyone then. Thanks for your understanding! ~Melissa

Hours

I thought I’d make a post about why I’m changing my hours a bit. For the longest time I worked Monday-Friday roughly 10-6pm, then in the last few months with more insurance people coming in I narrowed down my Tuesday to evenings only. A couple of weeks ago, I decided after doing a little work […]
