Gratitude to our FCM friends and family for helping us get through the thickest parts of the last couple of years!

We've been supporting a great group of people, and we're so thankful for the opportunity to support the next generation, as well.

If you haven't been to see us in a while, and you've been thinking about venturing to our new offices, then this is the gentle reminder that our calendars are beginning to fill! We do our best to take care of our existing FCM family first, so please help us by reaching out in advance to ensure we can accommodate your support needs.

Thank you so much for being a part of our world!

Be well,
Alex & Ian @ FullCompassMassage.com

Dearest FCM friends and family!

Once again, I want to thank you for your patronage, support, referrals, and thoughtful, caring words throughout this year. As I just finished my last massage of this 2021 year, I am so thankful and filled with gratitude that I, and in fact WE, are able to do something that we love while we lift up others. Being a healer is a dual blessing, and having such great, supportive clients is a boon for both me and Ian.

We look forward to supporting you in the new year, and we wish everyone a happy and joyful holiday season and a happy (healthy!) new year!

Be well,
Alex

Hoping all our FB friends and family are doing great, and know that we're excited to see you soon!

Today I just wanted to say how proud I am of my longest-lasting mentee, who has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. We've come (most of the way) through a pandemic, we've weathered two location changes, and this week is the busiest he's ever had on the calendar!! (We'll both appreciate our trade massages next week!)

Ian is a loving, caring, thoughtful, and very intelligent individual, and he's put in the work learning the Deep Listening Method, proving it time and again as I thankfully experience his work.

If you have never experienced his work, then I incite and encourage you to do so! His schedule is filling up, and as a limited resource we can only support a limited number until those clients graduate, by healing, to less needed support- and they do! :-D

If you've never experienced our work, then please meet and enjoy the joy that is Ian Williams, LMT. I know you will be glad that you did!

Be well!
Alexander Stadler, LMT

FB friends and family!

Many of you have heard Alex talking about sound healing, and maybe you've heard him talking about his counterpart Alex Ballew, of Secret River Sounds. We are doing a collective sound healing event in a beatific, astoundingly beautiful farm space just a bit north of Atlanta on June 27th.

Both Alex Ballew and Alex Stadler will be administering the sound healing, and it is sure to be a powerful opportunity for healing, change, and growth!

Spaces are limited, so please act quickly to ensure you obtain a space for the event! May we be well!

Good morning, good day, and good evening!

We hope you are having a happy new year, and we are so excited for the many changes that are coming. Not the least of which is the rollout of the COVID-19 inoculations, and we've already heard from several of our clients about returning post-inoculation.

To be clear, we are continuing our pandemic protocols- keeping areas clean, wearing masks, checking temperatures, as well as taking oral statements. We are aware that this is a high-case time, and we will continue to do our part to keep everyone safe, but we are still hopeful about the country's health moving in a good direction, overall! :-D

For reference, we are now open 7 days a week between Alex and Ian, but we have limited hours, currently, so please be aware as you reach out for scheduling. And do schedule! We are here for you!

We are accepting new clients at this time, by referral, and we'd love to support your families and friends! Thank you for being a part of this FCM Family, and thank you for supporting us as we support each other!

Be well!

Good day, FB Family.

We are soon to end the 2020 year, a difficult year for many, and we begin to fill our hearts with hope. Much is coming to us, and we feel it is best to open ourselves to that new energy, to literally call our intentions out into the world.

It is our intention to use our gifts, our skills, and selected energies to support our growing FCM family in order to gain abundance for ourselves, for our clients and client families, and to have enough to to be able to share with those in need.

As you set your intentions for the new year, please remember those in need, and direct those to us where we may be of support. Our desire to deliver unparalleled bodywork, wellness support, and knowledge-based empowerment of our clients is unchanged.

We are thankful for your patronage, your trust, and for the opportunity to share in one another's lives in this new era of healing.

Blessing to you and yours in the new year!

May we be well!

Sincerely,
Your loving FCM Team Members

Are you aware of the potential to release emotionally-held trauma by releasing physical restrictions, adhesion, and holding in your body? One of the great benefits of our bodies is their amazing ability to adapt, and we often overlook this by simply failing to pay attention. If you have a sore toe, then your body adapts to avoid putting pressure on this area. If it doesn't stay injured long, then you heal, you can use the foot normally, and then your body releases the adaptation.

If/when we don't heal quickly, then we can get trapped in a cycle of adaptation and re-injury. When we have an emotional stressor, and we clench our jaws (a common adaptation), and we keep getting stressed, then we develop an emotionally-held cycle of pain and re-injury that is based in the adaptive capabilities and "move on" strategy of our bodies in response to pain or injury. It's a survival instinct, and it works, but it is not a wellness strategy, nor does it allow us to THRIVE!

If you have had a tumultuous 2020, then reach out now to reserve a time with Alex or Ian in order to start banishing the tensions to help begin 2021 without the baggage of those cluttered, old adaptations! We are here to support you, to educate you on how to be physically well, and to help you to communicate more effectively with your body.

Here to hear you in your time of need~

Hello, and good evening/day FB friends and FCM family! We're hoping to reach out and meet people who need our services and particular brand of care. As such we're going to be asking you to share your experiences so that everyone can hear what kind of work we do in the words of those we support.

Would you share a few brief words about your experience? You can post here or send us a private message, and we'll be sharing them only on our social media unedited for all to see. We realize that we are here because of your trust, support, and your continued patronage of our healing arts. We know that we are tools that you utilize to allow yourself to become well, and we are proud to be a part of that change.

Thank you in advance, and should you know people who are in need, then please recommend us! Let them know we'll treat them like FCM family, and that we guarantee everything we do.

Bless you, and thank you!
Alex & Ian

Friends, we wanted you to know how much we appreciated those who came out to our recent sound immersion event, and we are grateful to be working with our new healing partners, Secret River Sounds, and Alex Ballew! We also have a new partner we're excited to discuss with you that practices PSYCH-K, a healing process that has been around for decades that has recently been gaining in both popularity and understanding, it's effectiveness having been established long ago with some very interesting results. We'll be in touch to discuss further with you soon!

We are here to support you, our doors are open, and we are happy to discuss our COVID-19 protocols with you so that you may feel safe and confident in our care. We are entering an interesting time of transition in many ways, but we remind you that we are here in strength, in our hearts, and we welcome you back into our care.

May you be well, and we're looking forward to working with you!

Dear Friends!

We hope that this message finds you all well and hale!

Dear Friends and FCM Family,

Due to the nature of the Continuing Education requirements of the state of Georgia, there is a current requirement for 12 hours of in-person education that many therapists will need to meet by October in addition to the 12 hours of online or by-mail certifications that are needed for the 24 hours per 2 year as set by the Secretary of State's office for our licensure.

Please, consider signing this petition to change the license renewal requirement to help keep therapists and their clientele safe from COVID-19 during this continuing pandemic.

Thank you for your support! May we all be well!

Hello, friends, supporters, and FCM FB family!

It's been a while since we've posted, and we appreciate your patience while we have done our best to sort out where we need to exist in this post-Corona Virus world.

We are now open, and we are doing our utmost to ensure the safety of everyone. We are spraying and wiping surfaces with disinfectant, we are limiting our exposure in our personal time, and we are reducing the number of clients we are seeing each week to what we hope are safe levels while also providing strong support. We are additionally letting the spaces air out for at least 30min.-1hr. between clients.

When you come in you'll see us in masks, and we'll be using a no-touch thermometer to check temperatures, as well as asking a brief personal history as related to exposure to ensure the safety of all of our clients.

We want you to know that we care about your health and safety, and we are doing our utmost to provide excellent care in a safe space for you all.

Thank you for all your support, and thank you for trusting us to help you become and to stay well!

Dear friends, FCM family, and interested parties:

We thoroughly appreciate and thank you for your supportive words, thoughts, prayers, and words of kindness during this trying time. Our thoughts are still with those who are suffering, and we look forward to being able to return in some capacity to supporting you, who make our work mean so much to us.

While we understand that there is some confusion in consideration of what the state is calling for, regulations of local governments, and also with regard to our own intentions, we want to be clear about our motivations. I do not believe that it is yet a safe time for us to be returning to the close confines and the high likelihood for person-to-person transmission while the cases are so high, and so many are still suffering and dying.

Within our own families, clients, and friends there are so many who are still highly at risk, and until that number declines (COVID cases) we will continue to shelter and reduce that likelihood. If the numbers are sufficiently declined in a couple of weeks, then that is a possible time for a return. We greatly appreciate your patience and continued support. Rest assured that we will let you know as we move forward back to support in the office, and we will be reaching out to you individually, as well.

With our love and best wishes for your health!

Be well,
Alex

Dear friends and families,
Our hearts go out to you during this difficult and confusing time with the COVID-19 epidemic. Many we know have lost work, are staying home with their children, have been subject to quarantines, or worse have family and/or friends who have been affected directly by the disease. We have likewise been affected, and we know that while we are separate in proximity, we can only survive and triumph beyond this challenge by sticking together in spirit, mind, and intention.

*Alex is currently in quarantine until Sunday, April 5th, so all of his sessions up to and until that time are necessarily canceled and may be rescheduled. No, he has not been identified as having COVID-19 at this time.*

As our work has almost always been directly in contact with our clients, we certainly share in the effects of the circumstances we all face. We are likewise aware that many in need of the care we provide are unable to acquire support, and we would like to assist where we can, as well as provide a path to ensure that we can provide support in the future.
For those in need immediately of support, we have always had our self-care videos on our youtube channel, and we are suggesting thorough utilization of this resource, which is and always has been free:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmJ3Kxm4JZjF19OsJqLWxZg/videos

For those who may be in need of more analytical consideration, those in search of some relief for more unusual circumstances, or just those who would prefer a more guided, in-depth conversation I am going to offer $25 sessions for up to 30 minutes of assessment, stretch, and exercise assistance via either Facetime or Skype.

For those who would like to guarantee future sessions in our office, post-epidemic, we are offering deposit-based priority sessions for May (or earliest available openings). These will require a 50% deposit of a discounted session, which means that 1/2 will be paid in advance to assist the therapists, and 1/2 will be paid at the time of the session. This allows us to keep the doors open while also ensuring that we can continue to do so at the time of the session. These are all going to be at the discounted rate (Alex rglr. $100/hr.; dsct. $80/hr.: Ian rglr. $85/hr.; dsct. $70/hr.), which means that many can also take advantage of some priority pricing.

This is our way of trying to stay a part of this wonderful, beautiful community that we have all built together, and we hope you are similarly inclined. To inquire how to proceed, please email alex@fullcompassmassage.com for details. We will be avoiding taking payments over the phone, so your information always stays safe!

Thank you for supporting our community, our business, and thank you for allowing us to support you!
Be well,Alex
