New scheduling software and website!

Hi Folks,

I am in the process of updating my scheduling software and website. I am making a switch from Square to a new software called Vagaro. Some of you may be familiar with Vagaro, and others may be new to it. In order to schedule online, you will need to make a Vagaro account; I will send you an invitation to help you along with this process.

There are some wonderful features that have pushed me to make the switch, including online health intake forms. All existing clients will have to fill out a new health intake online next time you schedule to transition to this new system.

My hope is that this will be a smooth transition with very few kinks to work out. If you have questions, concerns, or any problems with this new scheduling software, please contact me via telephone: (406) 450-2862.

As always, thank you for your continued patronage and flexibility as we flow through life's currents.

Your Massage Therapist,
Sara Trotchie

New Summer Hours!

Hi Folks,

With the semester coming to a close and the blossoms of spring opening, I will be expanding my office hours for the summer starting May 23, 2022.

New Summer Hours:
Monday-Wednesday 12:00 PM-7:00 PM
Thursdays 9:00 AM-2:00 PM
Closed Friday-Sunday

Feel free to call or schedule online for your massage appointment.

Although the school semester is over, there is always room for more learning. I will be attending a Craniosacral Therapy workshop May 16th-20th. I am excited to start incorporating this healing modality into our sessions. I will be happy to chat and answer any questions you have about Craniosacral Therapy. I look forward to seeing you, and as always, thank you for your continued support.

Price Increase and Updates

Hi Folks,

Happy fall to you all! With the increased demand on my time and the cost of living continuing to rise in Missoula, I am increasing my massage rates. This price increase will begin December 1st, 2021. The new rates are as follows:

60 minute- $80
75 minute- $90
90 minute- $115
120 minute- $150

Gift Certificates:
I will no longer be selling gift certificates because I am not accepting new clients at this time. If you have a gift certificate that you haven't used yet, please schedule you massage session sooner rather than later. If you have given someone a gift certificate, please encourage them to schedule their massage sooner rather than later.

Scheduling:
I have removed my online schedule from my website as I am not taking new clients at this time. My online schedule is still active, but not open to the public and you can use the link below to schedule online if you like. I recommend saving the booking site in your favorites so it is easy to find in the future. You can also text me to schedule. I am currently booking 2-3 weeks out, so plan accordingly when scheduling your massage.

Herbal Compresses!
I will be bringing back herbal compresses as a complimentary addition to all massage sessions during the winter months. If you haven't had an herbal compress treatment yet, prepare for a warming, soothing, and heavenly experience. Herbal compresses are a steamed poultice of Thai herbs used as a tool to open the muscle tissue, decrease inflammation, and soothe aches and pains.

As always, thank you for your continued support and patronage. You make my job worthwhile! I look forward to continuing to be of service by providing you with high quality massage therapy.

Sincerely,
Sara Trotchie

Back to School Schedule and Updates

Hi Folks,

It's almost that time of year, and back to the books for me as I pursue a college degree. I have updated my online massage schedule. Starting August 30th, 2021 my new business hours are as follows:

Mondays- 2:00 pm- 7:00 pm
Tuesdays- Closed
Wednesdays- 2:00 pm-7:00 pm
Thursdays- 9:00 am- 12:00 pm
Fridays- 2:00 pm-7:00 pm
Saturdays- Closed
Sundays-Closed

With my new schedule being limited during the school year, please plan accordingly and book ahead to get a time that works best for you.

I am still requiring all clients to wear masks in the massage session, as is the recommendation from the CDC for all healthcare professionals. Please DO NOT come into an appointment if you are sick. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, reschedule your massage:

Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea

If you come into my office with symptoms of illness, I will send you home. Please be considerate of the fact that I touch many people throughout the day (including those who are immunocompromised), and my number one goal is to provide a clean and safe environment for people to relax, rest, and recharge.

That being said, I have updated my online schedule to allow for you to book time in the far-infrared sauna either as an add-on to your massage or as a stand alone treatment. Studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5941775/) show the benefits of using a far-infrared sauna are:

Improved cardiovascular health
Decreased symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia
Decreased symptoms of chronic fatigue and pain syndromes
Improved exercise performance in athletes

Ask your doctor if saunas are the right treatment for you. When booking a sauna session, please come to your appointment well hydrated and bring a bottle of water. Towels are provided upon request. Hot towels and/or public showers are available on site.

If you made it to the end of this email, congratulations! You are the best client ever! Thank you for your continued support.

Be well,
Sara Trotchie, LMT
The Healing Center

Warm up this fall in the far-infrared sauna!
