Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost upon us?
As always, I am most thankful for you, my regulars.

10/24/2024

To my regulars:
Thank you so much.
I pray I never take for granted the presence of any person in my office who comes regularly and never fails to show up.
Thank you for putting up with all the weird scheduling issues. I know at times it can be frustrating. Working two jobs is a necessity for me right now, but maybe someday it won’t be.
Thank you for being one of my best referral resources.
Thank you for letting me know when you can’t come in and why. Sometimes letting me know those things, helps me understand why you can’t come in.
I thank God for each and every one of you. Let’s enter the month of November, the month of Thanksgiving, with full hearts and thankfulness.
God bless you all, and God bless your families.

I’ll be closed 10/16-10/21 serving on my bi-annual women’s retreat. Please be patient if you text during this time and I can’t answer swiftly.

Has it been too long since your last massage?
I’m still here!

I know we all run into financial challenges, but there is always a workaround.

Can’t afford an hour? Come for 30!!
Can’t do 30? I do $1/minute chair massages; 20 min max.

There is always a way!!

This is long, but very important so I kindly ask you to read it in its entirety.

What is bodywork?

This term came up recently in a news interview with our mayor. He used the term to refer to persons who offer illicit services and this is wholly incorrect and potentially damaging to folks like myself who use this term in our business name and marketing.

This is what bodywork means:

Bodywork therapy is a broad term that encompasses a variety of techniques designed to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. It is an umbrella term, representing many modalities that each therapist chooses to train in and offer.

As a massage PROFESSIONAL I work hard to offer healing and therapeutic services. I have NEVER used my skills for any other purpose and have always followed the law. I am a Christian and the very thought that my practice could be associated in any manner with what these “businesses” sickens me.

Recent events have shown me and many other LMTS in this area that there is a lot of work that needs to be done to educate people in city leadership about our profession. Namely, there needs to be a lot of conversations about the regulations we already operate under and how the state has already defined how we do business. We are not the problem. And we should not have to be made to be part of the solution by having to be regulated by bureaucratic overreach.

We are educated, trained and ethical.
And we will be heard.

If you glean from this post that I am upset, then I’ve conveyed it properly. A new ordinance was passed last October that would have a massive impact on my business. An ordinance, by the way, that no lmts in this area were notified about in advance of the vote to pass it. Nor were we notified when it was to be put into effect. An ordinance that directly impacts our daily working process and how we run our businesses. Not a peep.

If you’re curious, here is the ordinance:https://abc7amarillo.com/resources/pdf/92b0a022-2412-48ad-8683-7517ed142d8e-massageestablishmentordinance.pdf

After meeting with one of the council members yesterday, we were relieved to learn it is being put on hold until the ordinance can be reevaluated and revamped.

We now have to participate in the rewriting of this ordinance whose sole purpose is to get these illicit businesses out of our city. I am totally on board with finding a solution to this issue because we have all been fighting the battle of clearly differentiating ourselves from them for years. But part of me asks why am I being forced to help solve a problem I didn’t create?

But, here we are.

My heart breaks for the thought of the women involved who are very likely being trafficked. But my livelihood should not be placed under extreme scrutiny and the exceptional inconvenience this ordinance would have placed us under had it moved forward.

Can you as my clients imagine being in the midst of a massage and having it interrupted with a surprise inspection?!? Absolutely a mortifying prospect.

For now, this is on hold. I will update when I know more.

It’s also the season to pack our schedules, get overly tired and/or get sick! I had 4 good souls cancel this week for those reasons.

Next week is a good time to get in! (Bear in mind, evenings are still fairly booked.)

I'm looking at new techniques/modalities to get my training hours and CEUs.

Does anyone have a modality that I do not offer that they'd love to see added to my repertoire?

Your input is highly valued. So much that I am going to have a drawing from all those who comment to get a free 30 minute massage!!

Due to increased flooding of Lawrence lake and our power being out….it’s reasonable to assume I won’t be back to work this week.

06/06/2023

My office is in the area of the flood zone. I’m hoping it is high enough to avoid water. However, if the roads are cordoned off, there’s no way I, or my clients, can get in. I will update asap.

True true
I would LOVE to not hurt. But, we don’t live in that world, am I right?
Massage does help!
I can attest to what it does for me.
(If only I could detach my arms and work on my own back, shoulders and neck!!!)
Haven’t been in a long while?
Hurting?
I might just be able to help!!
