Attention clients: I have only EIGHT openings between now and MAY 1! (And four of those slots are only one hour spots.) If you’ve been thinking, “oh, I need to check my appointments with Michael” now would be that time!!

Dear clients and friends:
As you know, Asheville, NC - arguably the epicenter of the massage world - was devastated recently by hurricane Helene. Many in my line of work lost everything. If you're so compelled, please help. I received the following list of highly reputable agencies from a contact there who I trust without question. Gifts made to any of the following will go directly to those who need it most. Through the end of the year, I will also take donations on-site here at the studio and I will match a portion of on-site donations. Please consider making a gift. Thank you.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many beloved Asheville and Buncombe County businesses have been deeply affected by the storm. While the community comes together to rebuild, you can lend a helping hand from afar by shopping at these businesses' online stores or contributing to fundraising efforts.

Really excited for this afternoon class, called Benefits of Mindful Awareness in Body-Oriented Therapy (MABT). Course description:

MABT combines manual techniques, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to develop interoceptive awareness – the ability to interpret and process sensory information in the body. MABT can benefit individuals with chronic physical and mental health conditions, trauma, substance abuse, or those who often experience distressing bodily disconnection. Together, we will delve into the core MABT principles for enhancing body awareness and coping skills. As part of this session, the MTF Gold Case Report Winner will present, and we will discuss related research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Vanderbilt University, among others.

In Tampa, at the American Massage Therapy Association national conference thru Saturday. Excited to learn some new things and bring some new knowledge and techniques - through roughly 18 hours of continuing education - back home to impart on my fabulous clients!

I made a major investment recently, and purchased a self massage chair that I’m now making available to everyone. The Super Novo 2.0 is an absolutely incredible thing. Book time in it and see for yourself. Per minute pricing starts at $1.50 per minute.

I did a thing today at the State Fair. I bought this INCREDIBLE automated massage chair made by Human Touch. Has something like 60 different pre-programmed massage and relaxation modes. I just need to get it home after the fair next Sunday. Anyone free next Sunday evening and willing to help me maneuver it into the house in exchange for getting to take a few turns in the most relaxing seat on the planet? (I will have access to a truck - I just need extra manpower to get it in the house!)

Note, I’m also selling my gently used current manual zero gravity recliner. New, my current recliner from Relax the Back sells for just under $2,900. I’m selling mine for $1,500. Feel free to share this post to anyone who may be interested!

Walking past the studio space this afternoon and happened to catch this glorious colorful display, where the film on the window in the studio was refracting the sunlight.
