It has been a process, but we are officially closed. Apparel store is still up and on sale, but massage is done for the time being. The end of the year gives me a chance to fully reflect on what I want to do moving forward. As much as I have enjoyed doing massage, it is expensive to maintain because of needed CE credits which, if I had done them this year, would have reduced my "profits" to around $200. For the entire year. It's hard to want to keep going when things average out to less than $20/month. Mission isn't over, but a new approach is definitely needed. Hope you all have had an amazing holiday season so far, and we will see you in some capacity in the new year.

Did you know we have a sale going on right now? And I could really use some support heading into the new year to feel like I should even keep trying.

Bueller?

It's Small Business Saturday and this is just your casual reminder that I still have a small business and would love your support. Pirate Turtle and Kratos think it's a good idea, so that tells you all you need to know. Support local, shop small. Link in first comment

With the closing of our Carlisle location, I would really like to focus on the apparel side. The problem is, I don't know where I'm going wrong with it. I have had six online sales in the last year and when you deduct the charitable contributions, it makes for a whopping $23 in profit for an entire year. So, I would greatly appreciate some genuine feedback. Am I choosing the wrong charities, or maybe changing them too often? Is there not enough variety with the design? Am I really just so bad at marketing that people forget it exists? Anything you can offer would be wonderful so I can hopefully figure out a fresh approach that can improve things.

One week left for bookings until our office within Platinum Fitness is closed. Inventory reduction sale, only fifteen with local pickup, or add five and I'll ship anywhere within the US. Online sale going on until the end of the month. And yes, we have long sleeves and hoodies, so you can stay warm, look awesome, and help support a small business this holiday season.

Between illness, stress, and life in general, I've decided to close up shop earlier this week than anticipated. Bookings are closed until the 12th, when I return from a much needed vacation. Which means, get your bookings in early because that's only a two week window until we shut down our space inside .

10/26/2025

Today marks one month from when we are closing our Carlisle location, so you only have 3 weeks to book (I'm taking a week for vacation before the holidays and super long theater hours). So, reach out and do something special for yourself soon. Shirts still available in space and online.

Just to clarify a few things that have come up;

1. Yes, I am still taking bookings for massage in our Carlisle space until November 26th. After that I intend to take the rest of the year off, with a handful of exceptions for in-home sessions for well-established clients.

2. The online store remains open. While no charity is currently running, sales can help me offset the loss we've been operating at.

3. We are not closing down. There is still a lot of work to be done, but I have come to realize the current approach is not working. These next few months will be used to redirect focus so we can come back stronger and more effective than ever.

4. I would like to sell the physical inventory before the space closes, so if you are local, each item is $20. If you need it shipped, it will be $15+shipping. Colors and sizes in comments.

I'm truly saddened to have to post this, but after multiple months of minimal bookings, I just can't keep hanging on. The space I've called home for over a year now will be closing at the end of next month. There is still time to book appointments, and the online store remains open. After the space closes, I might go to strictly in-home massage, or I might take an indefinite hiatus. Only time will tell, and I'll keep everyone posted. Thank you all in the meantime.

Representing Ally Athletic in Myrtle Beach this past week, but took some time to get in a good session this morning. So, while the setting was different, the pump was just as excellent. Reminds me of that saying, "Wherever you go, there you are." Availability for massage has been updated, and there's still a few weeks left to support with apparel sales.

I'm not saying winning automatically makes me a better massage therapist. Only that it speaks volumes to my hand-eye coordination and attention to detail. Between that and the confidence winning instills, I'd say you're in pretty good hands, and should really consider booking something soon. 😁

New signage posted at . Hoping this will streamline things and make for faster reading. Big sale for educators and students this back to school season. Also, I got my schedule for my new job, so my availability for the first 20 days of this month is set. Go ahead and book something now. Apparel sales still going towards . Any local-ish events coming up this fall you would like to see us at?
