Zen Intention Massage & Bodywork

The last two years have been hard.
Lost my dad the same week I was trying to get my massage establishment open.
Emergency surgery two weeks later.
Oldest offspring graduated high school 5 days after surgery.
Working a full time job as a fire/ EMS dispatcher to keep the income flowing while I got my business going. Major changes in management in that space that completely altered the way we worked together as a team, and not entirely in good ways. All while I was out on medical leave.
Had to figure out how to actually run a business.
Had some challenges with finding a home for my studio these past 6 months. Went without an office for almost three months.
Left dispatching because the stress and schedule after 17 years on that job, while doing massage work, had just simply taken too much from me. Which meant the consistent, dependable income was gone.
Not to mention a lot of other personal life things on top of that.
And perimenopause. 🔥
I think the challenges are lightening up a bit.
I've found a good home with Harmony Spencer.
I'm drawing in some great clients. And I have been fortunate with those clients that have stuck with me through the struggles and cheering me on as I find my way.
My family and friends that have believed in me and brought me sunshine when things felt too heavy and dark.
My mom investing in my business to help it grow.
And now, I'm coming into a season of real growth and learning.
I've invested in some high quality tools to support healing and relaxation, and to help save my hands for the long run.
Call me crazy, but I've invested a lot of money to take a total of 3 multi-day classes in the next 6 weeks. I'm only required to take 24 hours of CEs in 2 years. I'll be taking 60 hours before February is over.
I'll be bringing back some incredibly powerful tools for healing.
TMJ/intra-oral work for jaw/ neck pain and migraines.
SMRT for deep therapeutic work without the deep-tissue pain. Fascia releases. Combining those with lymphatic support.
For the moment though, I'm just taking in the peace and the vibe of this space I call mine.
See you on the table.

It appears that Verizon is having a nationwide outage.... weirdly enough it's only affecting my business phone and not our personal phones. If you need to reach me, please send me an email at info@zenintention.net. Hopefully it will be back up and running soon.
Thanks!

Been a little quiet this week.
I practiced what I preach last week and had a wonderful massage with a fabulous colleague.
A couple days later, I came down with the cold that's been running around. Had to rearrange my schedule for time to get better and not spread the yuck. A big thank you to everyone that accommodated me and gave me grace to rest and recover.
I'm back to normal (mostly) now and my book is back open next week.
Over the weekend of January 23rd, I'll be in Atlanta taking a continuing education seminar on some deep tissue techniques, and I'm very excited to bring this back here to put into practice. Part two of this training will be at the end of February.
In the meantime, I'm waiting impatiently for the delivery of a couple of tools to help with deep work that I can't wait to try.
Stay tuned, and make sure you get on the schedule to see what's in store!
See you on the heated table (when the temperatures outside drop next week).

This might be a long post and a little uncomfortable to read, but I need to share a couple of changes that were recently required to keep business going and keep a safe and sanitary space.
I've had to re-institute requiring a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the scheduled service for new clients ONLY at this time. You will be required to put a card on file at the time of scheduling. I'm hoping to keep this to new clients only but may be subject to change depending on how things flow into the new year.
Please keep in mind when you schedule an appointment, that Zen Intention has a late cancelation policy and there is a charge for appointments canceled less than 48 hours in advance.
Now, on to the really uncomfortable part.
Moving forward, I will be charging a $100 cleanup and convenience fee for anyone that intentionally disrespects my workspace and leaves a mess anywhere on the property, or on my equipment during a mobile massage. I know the difference between an accident and an intentional act, and I can deal with accidents. I had an incident this week with a new male client that behaved in an intentional manner, and created a cleanup nightmare and was a slap in the face to the environment and energy I've worked so hard to maintain.
If you behave in this sortof manner, the incident will be noted, photos will be taken, meta-data from the photos will be saved, and your card on file will be charged. You will be blocked from booking further appointments, your information will be provided to Panama City Police as an informational report (unless you've committed a criminal act and then a police report will be filed along with charges), and it's possible your name and the nature of the incident will be provided to my local female colleagues to help keep them safe from your behavior.
And if you think you'll be able to dispute the credit card charges, rest assured that your card issuer will be provided all photo evidence and proof that it was you that made a mess, along with a copy of my policies that you've agreed to when you booked.
Thank you for your support, understanding, and patronage. ❤️❤️
