I have made the decision to relocate!
I am happy to inform all that I will be moving into Heat Yoga on 1st Ave starting February 8, 2022 !!

This will not affect any current appointments.
If you do need to adjust due to travel time, please let me know and I’ll be happy to do what I can to accommodate.

This is a change I have been thinking about for awhile, and was fortunate to be welcomed with open arms by Beth and her amazing staff at Heat Yoga! I’m ready to be surrounded by women who support, uplift, and reciprocate the energy I give them.

I appreciate each and every one of my clients for your loyalty and following me all over Cedar Rapids. My hope is that this is my last and final move. Grateful to have all the love and support a gal could ask for 💛

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Your muscle therapist, Lisa Gillespie

Cancellation and Scheduling Policies for LGFC::
I wanted to inform all past, present, and future clients of my scheduling and cancellation policy. Posting it here for easy reference and accessibility.
This is meant to protect me as an independent licensed massage therapist, and to inform you as a client. I understand that life happens and most of the time we are not in charge. For that reason I want to have a protocol in place for when that does happen.
In my almost 10 years of practice, this is what I encounter most. It is best if we are all on the same page.

Cancellation Policy::
-When cancelling, please cancel 48 hours in advance.
-If cancelling less than 24 hours of your scheduled appointment, you will be invoiced for 50% of your treatment fee.
-If cancelling day of your appointment, last minute, or not showing up, you will be invoiced for 100% of your treatment fee.
-You will be unable to schedule until this is paid in full.
-If you are constantly rescheduling or cancelling your appointment by email or text message, 2-3 times a month, you will be asked to make a non-refundable deposit of 50% of your treatment fee in order to schedule an appointment. This will then go towards your appointment when you show up.

Online scheduling::
-If you find yourself constantly rescheduling your appointment online, 2-3 times in a month, I ask that you wait to schedule until you are 100% certain you can make that appointment.
-When scheduling online you may be asked to enter a debit/credit card to keep on file. This is to secure your time as a client, and protect me as an independent licensed massage therapist.

Kind reminder::
I am here for you, and if that need becomes less, so will my availability.
Seeing fewer clients in a day and week, as well as this protocol in place, will allow me to continue as your massage therapist for now and further into the future. Help me to help you !!
I appreciate your time and understanding !
Your licensed massage therapist and Flexibility Coach,
Lisa Gillespie

While this isn’t necessarily a
this does happen often, and it provides the opportunity I want to talk about.
EDUCATION
While I offer both traditional massage therapy AND neuromuscular soft tissue release technique, I make a point to tell my client when they are receiving neuromuscular soft tissue release, and educate them on what makes it different. As you can see, the technique speaks for itself !
I give a little bit of background information, how I was taught one on one by my mentor Bill LeSuer in Scottsdale, Arizona. How Bill developed this approach to treating dysfunctional muscle tissue over the last 20 years of his career. Then I quote what he taught me..
“Practicing your sport with dysfunctional muscle tissue only instills dysfunctional movement patterns in your neuromuscular system.
Treat and remediate the muscle dysfunction before you attempt to put a load on them.
You can NEVER achieve full tissue extensibility or neuromuscular sequential muscle firing until the tissue is healthy.”
I see “lightbulbs” turn on every time this is explained. That’s what makes this different.
This isn’t gliding on top of the tissue with lotion, this is a corrective, deep, and structure-based treatment.

Heal the people, educate the people.
It’s as simple as that !
