October News

October Specials & New Packages!

Hello everyone!  October is on its way with the beautiful colors of Fall!  Currently, I hope all of you are doing well as my world is a bit crazy as my studio and home are taking on a ‘Make Over’!  I am very excited about the Massage Studio, as this is looking Fabulous!  I think all of you will enjoy your visit, as it will feel more “healing” and professional.  I will be emailing as soon as it is complete and the new pics will be posted online.

With my son in school, I have changed my daytime schedule.  I now have different availability during the day.  I will not be seeing clients during the hours that Andrew is in school as I want to be prepared incase I get any calls.  I hate interrupting any session, so I feel this is a wise choice – in addition to my volunteering for my son’s school. (Hours are available at my website and scheduler.)

NEW This Month:

* FIVE brand-new SAVINGS Packages featuring all of my services.  If you have no idea what you are seeking, you are bound to find something there!  Great for gift giving as the season is approaching! Check out my Promotions & Discounts page for the information.  I also have a Pregnancy Package that includes hospital and home visits at a great deal! 

* I have brought back my contest, but this will be drawn on a Monthly basis.  This contest currently features $30 off sessions over $75 and higher (does not include sessions on special or with discount.)

October Deals:

* Massage Specials: Aromatherapy & Therapeutic~ On Special for 25% Off.  (Price ranges from $45 - $52 for 60 Minutes!)

* Weekly Special:  Check my website every Monday for the next Special of the Week!

* Secret Special: This is only available at , so I highly recommend booking your next session online to take advantage & receive the Specials!

Again, as I never work on you if I am ill and I hope you all understand and respect this…  Please remember that if you are not well or know you are contagious, to book your session for another time.  If I have any specific deals going that you booked for, I will honor them if you book immediately after being sick.

Have a very Happy October and Halloween!  Keep healthy and be safe!

Letting Go (Sharing from Massage/Bodywork)

"If you let go a little you will have a little peace, if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace, if you let go completely you will have complete peace."1
-- Ajahn Chah

Many difficulties begin to fall away as we learn to loosen our grip on the perception of "how things are" -- and how we want them to be. In learning to let go, our body provides a vast laboratory for exploration and discovery. Through paying attention to what is here now, we are able to move from the abstract realms of mind, through which we filter our experience, to an actual "lived" experience of life in process. Massage is a natural tool for such re-education of the body and mind, as is meditation.

The term "meditation," as it has entered our vernacular, conjures up many ideas. For some, meditation is thought to be simply sitting still, doing nothing. Some think it is like a dream or a reverie. For others, it is seen as a contemplative form of thinking. Meditation, in the conventional Buddhist usage, is none of these. The Pali2 word for meditation is "bhavana," or mind training. In meditation, the mind is engaged, focused and directed toward some object. Through concentration, the mind becomes calm. Through the stillness, the mind observes its own nature, not as discursive thinking but as experience and the illumination of insight.

The body is a fruitful object for meditation and a wise teacher. In Buddhist practice, meditation is turned to the breath, the body, feelings, perceptions and the mind itself. Through this sharpening of the mind, the letting go of fixed views, and the direct experience of physical and mental phenomena, we learn skillful ways of living with ease, rather than conflict and suffering. Meditation, as such, is not about beliefs. It is a tool to be used and a skill to be practiced and refined.

One thing all meditators and bodyworkers commonly deal with is pain. Shakyamuni Bud
