iPhone as a Pocket Massager?

January 30th, 2009

While this is a wonderful and clever feature for the iphone, I strongly encourage you to use it for entertainment purposes only.   Massage if done incorrectly could cause harm.  That being said…I highly doubt that a vibrating phone would cause harm to you or anyone playing with your phone but it does illustrate the point of just letting the professionals do the work.  Clever feature….non clever results.

Update: It appears a similar feature is available for the XBox 360.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

October 9th, 2008

October 1st is my one year anniversary of being in business and I couldn’t be more excited to offer in celebration of this accomplishment a treat for all of my clients, old and new. I would love for you to be the first to sample my latest addition to my therapeutic services: Soothing Heat Therapy.

This new service incorporates all of the benefits of my standard massage enhanced with a soothing and relaxing heated hydrotherapy element.

Moist Heat Therapy causes the blood vessels to dilate. Applying this style of heat to the body brings fresh and nutritious blood to the area that is being treated, nourishing and cleansing the area.

In order to experience the optimal level of this beneficial massage, more time will now be allocated. A 30 minute massage will now be 45 minutes in length and priced at $45. A normal 60 minute massage will now be 75 minutes in length and priced at $75.

Exclusively for the month of October, the Soothing Heat Therapy Massage will be at a discounted price of $30 for a 30 minute massage and $60 for a 60 minute massage. That is a 20% savings that is exclusive to YOU. To ensure your discount please book and keep your appointment in October. Come try it out. I look forward to seeing you and getting your feedback on this new addition to my services.

Constant Cravings

October 9th, 2008

First let me apologize for not blogging more often. I am VERY new to this whole blog thing (much to my husband’s dismay) so I sometimes forget that to let you know how I am progressing. I am having some craving issues…love the chocolate…but should work through them soon. I love the fresh apples of the season and the variety of them are keeping my interest. I have been doing interval training; a cross between walking and running which seems to be working out for me. Although I find myself extraordinarily hungry! I am starting to crave protein…I NEVER thought I would say that ever. More later…hopefully I will remember before 9 days from now! See you soon.

Water

October 1st, 2008

Always drink your water after a massage. Not only will it help clear out the toxins that were dispersed back into your blood stream it will give you more energy throughout the day!
