Spring Fever

Spring Fever

If there is such a thing as “spring fever”, I’ve got it.  With a mountain of work on my desk, articles to write, clients to see and family obligations tugging at me, all I want to do is run outside and let the sun touch my translucent skin.  I feel like calling in sick to...

It’s taken me three months to write this blog about my New Years resolution. That might give you an idea of how much I have on my plate this year. Heck, why have you guess what I’m up to… here’s a quick list: Spring: 1. Navigate the Valentines Day Couples Massage rush for MASSAGE...

Priorities

Priorities

Lately, I have been commiserating with many of my friends and colleagues about our sense of overwhelm. There are so many business opportunities available to us and deciding which ones to pursue can be difficult. At times like this, I seek perspective by reflecting on my overall life purpose, my career purpose, and whatever...

Remember to tell them, I Will Always Love You

Please allow me to wax a bit poetic. On the eve of Valentine’s Day and also in the wake of a very visible entertainer, Whitney Houston’s untimely death, I am really reflecting on how important it is to live in the present moment and to tell all those we love, how much we love...

The Best Shape Of Your Life

I don’t have to tell you how physically demanding this profession is.  Standing on your feet all day, leaning over, lunging, holding heavy arms and legs, sometimes sacrificing your alignment to benefit someone else’s body…. not to mention the strain on thumbs, wrists, elbows, fingers, shoulders….it can add up to aches at the end of...

Give Yourself the Gift of Self Care this Holiday Season

With the holiday season now in full swing, you are probably putting in the extra effort – staying up late writing e-newsletters, upping your marketing and advertising, taking last minute appointments for clients,  visiting relatives, and booking your schedule solid because your own holiday bills are mounting. During this time, it’s very tempting to...

Stop the Train

Stop the Train

Wasn’t it just Labor Day?  If you are like me, you hate when holiday decorations appear before Thanksgiving.   Holiday décor belongs in December when the holidays occur.  But that isn’t realistic, especially when it comes to marketing.  I am guilty of pre-mature advertising as well.  In fact, I might have been one of the earliest...

Is Health a De-Valued Commodity?

Is Health a De-Valued Commodity?

I ask you this because I have truly been taking stock of things in my life and the way I manage myself and my health. Upon further consideration, I began to realize that I am not alone in slighting my own needs, and that most Americans value their health by one simple litmus strip;...

Investing in Your Health

Investing in Your Health

In our practice, my partner and I are often met with an answer of “I wish I could afford to… receive massage more regularly/use essential oils/buy nutritional supplements, etc”. In the past we subscribed to this same mentality in our personal lives and in our business, but we chose to shift our paradigm concerning...

Assume the Position

   A few days ago I was going through security at the airport, on a great high after sharing a fantastic infant massage teacher certification course.  As I’m making my way through the line, I automatically take off my shoes, then unpack mycomputer and push everything onto the belt.  Just as automatic, I walked right into...
