Sign up for the mailing list & newsletter and you too will receive Baker Bonus notices!  It is a hot deal this week and in perfect time too for giving gifts for your spouse, mom, dad, a graduate, a favorite teacher, the possibilities are endless!

I am thrilled to announce to you the beginning of Baker Bonuses!  It is so exciting to me to be able to offer to you, my valued customers, an opportunity to get more out of massage therapy than you already do.

I am sure you have heard of Groupon, Living Social and other community deep-discount coupons.  I am proud to present my own “community coupon” through Baker Bonuses.  Baker Bonuses will provide an opportunity to try out new services, products or just to get another massage that month at a discounted rate.  I want YOU to be able to receive and afford more massage therapy.  It has been scientifically proven that the more often you receive massage therapy the healthier you are.  That has been my goal all along and I think you will enjoy the benefits.

Here is how it  works.  Every Wednesday I will release a new Baker Bonus available for purchase.  I choose Wednesdays because we all need a mid-week pick me up.  That particular Bonus will be available for purchase from the moment it is released until the following Tuesday at Midnight.   You are allowed to purchase up to 5 Bonuses.  Once you make your purchase you will receive the gift certificate(s) in your email within 24 hours from the moment of purchase.  You will have 3 months from the date of purchase to use your gift certificate.  If the 3 months has expired then the gift certificate will become null and void.  So make sure you use them!   All of the rules and regulations will be located on my website and on the gift certificate(s).  You must mention your gift certificate with it’s unique gift certificate number when calling to arrange the Baker Bonus. This means that when you call to make your appointment please make sure you have your Baker Bonus gift certificate # in hand or if it is for product please have your gift certificate available at the time of purchase.

As always if you have any questions please feel free to email me at christine@ccbakermassage.com or call 585-734-2500.

I am completely thrilled to announce that I have now been trained in Oncology Massage.  It is a comfort oriented massage specifically geared towards people living with cancer.  The massage session creates an opportunity for the patient living with cancer to have a few minutes to themselves, away from treatments…away from doctors…away from feeling disconnected from their own bodies.  An extensive health history is reviewed so that every precaution is taken.  It is an amazing opportunity for me to be able to offer this service now and I look forward serving you or a loved one affected by cancer.  Please call (585) 734-2500 for more details or email Christine @ christine@ccbakermassage.com.

October, as many of you know is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Here are some things to be aware of:

• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
• One woman every 2 ½ minutes will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
• It is estimated that in 2010 there will be 209,060 new cases reported of breast cancer, both men and women.  40,230 of those diagnosed will not survive.

These are startling statistics!

BUT…Massage Therapy can help in many ways!  READ ON…

While there are differences between regular and medicinal massage, a recent Prevention magazine article cited that 20 percent of all cancer patients in the U.S. seek some form of massage therapy. Massage has been known to help easy anxiety, depression, stress and nausea. Massage is in no way a preventative measure or a treatment, and any cancer patient should get appropriate clearance from his/her healthcare provider prior to scheduling an appointment.  It is however an option.  Treatments for cancer can be brutal and painful and life draining..literally.  Massage Therapy gives the patient a chance to get “reacquainted” with feeling alive again…feeling a bit relaxed and centered again..instead of attacked or violated, which often arises with multiple treatment options.

In addition to helping the patient ease some of the symptoms associated with Cancer Treatments, C. C. Baker Massage will be doing their part as well during October/Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  For EVERY massage booked in the month of October, 15% will be donated to Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.  I urge you to do your part by booking an appointment TODAY.  Not only will you feel better but others will too.  If you know anyone currently suffering from cancer, breast or otherwise, please feel free to offer them my information.  I am currently undergoing training to work specifically with cancer patients and I would be honored to help them with therapeutic massage.

Thank you for your support and BOOK that appointment TODAY!

Ever feel overwhelmed in the morning?  Ever feel irritated because of all of the things you try to cram into the morning? I am naturally a morning person…but if I try to accomplish a full day’s worth of work into the first 4 hours I am awake you better believe that by mid afternoon I am sleeping again.  It is just too much for the body to handle.  I have found that if I pace myself I am sustained with enough energy throughout the day…and that is a good day!

I read an article from a blog I follow (read it here) and wanted to share it with you not because I want you to follow the simplified routine to the letter but to give you and idea of how peaceful and energizing your morning routine can be.  IT IS POSSIBLE to get the family ready and off to school and get yourself ready for whatever comes your way and still have it be peaceful, mindful and filled with limited stress.  If we pick only a few things to focus on in the morning that give us life and rejuvenate our spirit then that too will create a good day.

I would love to hear how you spend your mornings and what you will choose to implement in your revised and simplified morning routine.  Have a peaceful day!
