Prenatal Massage Essentials
Recently, as I watched my best girlfriends prepare for their first (and second!) babies, I decided I really want to take the confusion out of essential oils for use in massage during pregnancy. As an Internationally Certified Aromatherapist and a well-educated “hippie” when it comes to safe, natural alternatives, I am very passionate about... 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... 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... Dollars and Scents
As you know from my other posts, I have a very client-centered approach to my practice. However, when it comes down to it, we are all in business and must, at some point, begin to think about our “bottom line.” If you have considered adding aromatherapy to your service menu, you may have thought... Energetic Grounding
In school, we were taught the importance of focusing on the client and to be careful to not let our minds wander off to our grocery list or our weekend activities while we were releasing a TP or petrissaging a gastrocnemius. A colleague of mine, an Usui Reiki Master who I encountered at my... Setting the Best Example
Along with our framed state license and our crisp new business cards comes a staggering amount of responsibility when we enter the world of professional massage. Once the doors open to your new practice, your phone rings for your maiden mobile appointment, or your first day of work rolls around at the spa, you... Amplifying the Energetics of Touch
Most of us who have studied massage therapy have had our minds opened to the incredible world of energy healing such as Reiki, Healing Touch, and Polarity Therapy. These subtle therapies each connect with the life force energy, or chi, within us all. As energetic beings, we resonate at a measurable frequency of 62-68... Tapping in to Clients’ Emotional Brains
As bodyworkers, we do a lot to manipulate our clients’ musculature into a submissive stress-free state, but what do we offer for their mental and emotional conditions at the time of their session? I am not suggesting that we add psychotherapy to our list of services, but often times if stress is at the... Standing Out from the Crowd
Right out of massage school, I immersed myself in all the marketing information I could find. Away I went donating gift certificates, volunteering at charity events, and dousing the town in business cards and brochures for my new mobile massage business. My partner and I did everything we could think of, but, to our... | |||||||||
