Free Spirit Massage

07/25/2025

Hello My Friends!

I hope you're all having a fantastic summer and soaking up every bit of sunshine! It’s been a little while since I’ve reached out, and I’m excited to share some updates about what I’ve been working on behind the scenes.

🌿 New Scheduling System

As many of you have noticed, I’ve officially transitioned to Vagaro, which recently acquired Schedulicity. I’m still ironing out a few details, so thank you for your patience as I get everything running smoothly.

A quick note for those with auto-scheduled appointments: the new system has marked those recurring sessions to end in December 2025. I’m in the process of manually re-entering everything, so if you see new appointment confirmations coming through for 2026 and beyond—no worries—that’s just me updating the system.

🌟 A New Chapter – Health & Life Coaching!

Now for the exciting news! Over the past year, I’ve been working on my Life and Health Coach certification, and I officially completed the program at the end of May. After a short breather, I’m thrilled to finally share this new offering with you all!

This October marks 14 years since I began my massage therapy journey. It’s been an incredible honor to work with each and every one of you. Many of you have spent years on my table, sharing both your physical and emotional journeys. But I've always wished I could do more—something deeper and more lasting.

That desire led me to Life and Health Coaching.

🤔 What Is Life & Health Coaching?

Great question! While I am not a psychologist, counselor, or therapist, what I am is someone who helps you identify and achieve personal or professional goals through support, accountability, and guidance.

With this new training, I can now support you in areas such as:

Improving body image and self-love

Increasing movement and physical health

Working through relationship struggles

Deepening your spiritual connection (energy, universe, spirit—whatever resonates with you)

📅 How It Works

Coaching sessions are structured in 12-week blocks, with one session per week, either in-person or virtual. The program is tailored specifically to you and your goals—and adaptable as your needs evolve over time.

💰 Introductory Offer:
From now until December 31, 2025, I’m offering a limited-time discount—over 50% off!
That means sessions are just $60 each, or you can receive an additional discount if you choose to prepay the full amount upfront.

💬 Want to Learn More?

I’ll be hosting free information sessions to dive deeper into what the program offers and answer any questions you might have:

Saturday, August 23rd at 4:00 PM

Friday, September 13th at 2:00 PM

If you’re curious, please reach out—I’d love to talk with you more about it.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. I’ve been so blessed throughout my massage career, and I’m genuinely excited to support you in an even deeper, more meaningful way as a coach.

All my love,
Heather

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to share that Gizmo has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Many of you have known my little buddy for years from when it would be a "Gizmo Day" at the office to the last 4 when I was blessed to spend my days working from home. He truly was the best little massage dog and foot warmer anyone could ask for. I believe each of you gave him a purpose and helped him have a full life.

Thank you for loving Gizmo and sharing a spot on the massage table and in your hearts.

All my love,
-Heather

Greetings! I am sure you all have been patiently awaiting the arrival of this email!

Greetings!

I am sure you all have been patiently awaiting the arrival of this email! I have been waiting as long as I could to send this info out as I was hopeful the Covid-19 numbers in Monroe County would remain stable or go down. That does not seem to be the case so it is time for “Plan B!” This year’s Client Appreciation Event is going to be a virtual sale!

Unfortunately, you will not be able to enjoy the yummy treats we normally have, BUT I still want to offer the one time savings on the massage packages. Starting December 1st - December 5th you can take advantage of the following specials:

30 min $210.00 ($35 ea. Normally $240.00)

60 min $357.00 ($59.50 ea. Normally $408.00)

90 min $504.00 ($84 ea. Normally $576.00)

https://bit.ly/freespiritmassageCAE

Now, how do you take advantage of the sale? Simply click on the link below, choose your package, payment method, and that’s it! I will be accepting payment via Venmo, check (by mail), or if your massage appointment is already scheduled for that week, we can settle up then. This is not Ideal, but you all have been so amazing and supportive that I wanted to still figure out a way to say “THANK YOU!” Packages are limited to ONE per client and are only for Current Clients.

Part of my “Thank you” to my amazing clients has always been an ornament. For the first three Client Appreciation Events you all received beautiful hand painted ornaments lovingly created by a dear client of mine. Last year my client was fighting cancer and tragically he lost his battle this year. My heart was broken at the loss and for the grief his family is facing. I wanted to continue my ornament gifting tradition this year to honor his memory and was fortunate to find another talented artist in my tribe. I ask when you hang your ornament this year, just take a moment to absorb the loving energy into your heart and then send that energy out into the universe. I think it is always important, but this year especially, to really work hard at being kind to one another and spreading love and joy; not just during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season but all year round.

Things have certainly been “different” this year; let's end 2020 with all the good vibes and carry that into 2021. Click the link to purchase your package.

Greetings! Happy news, massage has finally been classified and we are part of Phase Three! What does that actually mean and look like? Let's discuss:

Governor Cuomo has given our area the green light to start Phase Three today! While we have been doing what we could to prepare for opening, we had to wait for the official start date to be able to begin scheduling. Please wait to be directly contacted by your therapist to be scheduled. We are all very excited to be going back and working with our amazing clients (we missed you all!), but with the new guidelines, schedules will be limited.

As a way to decrease the number of people in the office at one time, Heather will immediately be taking a few clients at home. Again, this will be discussed when she contacts you directly.

Lastly, please check out the NYS Department of Health’s website (link below) to familiarize yourself with the recommended and mandatory guidelines for moving forward with massage in Phase Three.

Thank you for being so patient, understanding, and continuing to support massage. Things are going to look a little different but we are going to “Build Back Better.”

All our love,

Free Spirit Massage

Greetings and Happy Phase One Day!

As you may know, Free Spirit Massage and massage in general is NOT a part of the Phase One reopening plan. There is the possibility that we may be included in Phase Two. I would like to stress that nothing is certain as of today, but I wanted to share with you what the “new normal” at Free Spirit Massage will look like.

Due to the fact that we are licensed by the State of New York, LMTs MUST follow the guidelines required by the State. We do not open until NYS says we can. The timeline for that is unfortunately not 100% certain. The health and safety of our clients and therapists is our top priority. With this in mind, I do want to prepare you that we will NOT immediately be back to “business as usual.”
To allow for the safest environment possible at Free Spirit Massage the following health and safety precautions will be put in place:
1) No massage will be given to any person showing any signs of any illness. If you walk into the office “just getting over a cold,” or “oh, it’s just my allergies flaring up” be prepared to be turned away. This may seem harsh but at this early stage of reopening, necessary.
2) If according to the NYS Dept. of Health guidelines if you are part of the “vulnerable population“ ( elderly or underlying health issues), you will not be immediately scheduled. We want to protect you the most.
3) The time between appointments will be extended to allow for increased time to clean and disinfect, as well as to decrease the risk of appointment overlap. We do not want people sitting in the waiting room.
4) Masks will be worn by both therapist and client for the entire duration of your appointment.
5) There are no official guidelines yet about the use of any other PPE, however, whatever guidelines NYS requires we will follow.
6) Due to spacing out appointments, this will result in there being fewer appointments per day. We know many of you have not had bodywork done since February and are feeling the effects of that. We will accommodate and prioritize our appointments to the best of our abilities while maintaining all health safety precautions first and foremost.
7) Please be prepared to have any future appointments or auto-scheduled appointments canceled, changed, and/or rescheduled as we are developing our new appointment system.
8) Every client will be required to sign a Covid-19 specific consent form. We will provide more specific information about this consent form in the coming weeks to help clarify what this will look like.
9) Along with email and Facebook updates, your specific massage therapist will be contacting you directly with the scheduling of appointments.
10) Nothing is set in stone. We do not have an official start date but will continue to update you all as soon as we get more information from NYS. There are massage professionals and groups working alongside state legislators to give us a clearer picture of what massage is going to look like in this new post Covid-19 world. We appreciate your patience as we work through this together.

On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support, specifically those who reached out to check in or “buy your next package.” Over the years our clients tend to blur into a “friends and family“ realm and your love and support is really what has helped me get through this crazy time. I also want to share that I have had a lot of time to reflect on where I want my massage practice to go. I am a self proclaimed workaholic and this pause has forced me to stop and take stock of my life. I absolutely love massage and love connecting with my clients. I want to move forward and create a work environment that will allow me to provide better massages as well as an improved work/life balance.

Governor Cuomo has stated many times that we must “build back better.” I really have taken that to heart and think it would be a shame for any person to come out of this just to go backward. There is still a lot of uncertainty but as we move closer to reopening, I just want to remind you all that you are all dearly missed, loved, and that I am very excited to start a new journey in healing with all of you. If you have any immediate questions, please feel free to contact me or your specific therapist. We will be updating everyone with new information as soon as it becomes available. Please continue to stay safe and healthy! We will hopefully be seeing you soon!

All my love,
-Heather

In following the most recent Executive Order from Governor Cuomo stating 100% of non-essential workforce stay home, Free Spirit Massage will be taking a pause and will be closed until further notice. Please stay home and stay healthy!
