*reminder that starting April 1st tipping will not be available from our usual credit card processor (Square) so tips will be accepted via:

- cash,
-check (written to your massage therapist/esthetician,)
-Venmo (their personal Venmo accounts, rather than Mosaic's)

(I'm looking into an app called "Tippy" for a credit card reader that will not charge Mosaic fees on tips so if I go that route there will be an option to still tip via credit card)

Spring is in the air!

I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy some of this beautiful weather today. After losing an hour of sleep yesterday, the sunshine and warmer air felt like a pretty nice trade-off!

Today I got to go for a peaceful walk at Dundrey Brooke Trail in Little Compton with my girls and a wonderful group called Ocean State kids. (just giving a well deserved shout out to them in case any of you have little kids or grand kids, check out this group!)
oceanstatekids.com (https://www.oceanstatekids.com/)

As we were walking and enjoying the warmth, I was reminded of the line from "Favorite Things" in Sound of Music "silver white winters that melt into spring, these are a few of my favorite things", and I was thinking about how if we never had the bitter cold days and long nights of winter, days like today wouldn't feel as special or beautiful.

We are in the home stretch of winter! Spring is on its way in 10 days, and it’s the perfect reason to get outside, move your body, and soak up some fresh air whenever you can.

Looking forward to seeing many of you soon!

Hi everyone! I’m trying to get the word out there about our upcoming change. In case you are not on our email list, I’m posting it here as well so hopefully you will not be caught off guard your next appointment.

We will no longer be accepting tips on credit cards starting April 1st.

My goal is always to make your experience as seamless as possible and do not want to cause an inconvenience, so I didn’t make this decision lightly. I’ve been mulling it over for years actually.

With the recent changes under the new bill that now allows tips to be deducted from taxes, the way tips need to be recorded has shifted. Processing tips through credit cards adds extra tracking requirements on my end, and between that added administrative work and all the credit card processing fees, it’s no longer something that makes sense for the business.

Moving forward, any tips given in cash or Venmo, etc. will go straight to your massage therapist without Square involved. This also allows the massage therapists/estheticians to report their tips separately and take full advantage of the new tax deduction in the simplest way possible.

To make this easy, I will have each therapist’s Venmo scan code printed and available at the front desk for quick and simple access. They will also accept cash, checks and possibly other card-less apps that they may have (such as PayPal or cash app). There will be an ATM soon at Stonebridge liquors as well.

As always, your generosity and kindness towards us doesn’t go unnoticed. We are so grateful for the way you support our team!

Often times, gift cards are given with the tip factored into the amount on the card and of course that will still be able to be used as intended. If you have any questions, I’m always happy to talk through them.

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support our small business!

With gratitude,
Meagan

A Small Change Starting April 1st

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a heads up about a change coming to the studio starting April 1st.

We will no longer be accepting tips on credit cards.

I know this may feel like an inconvenience for some of you, and I truly understand that. My goal is always to make your experience as seamless as possible, so I didn’t make this decision lightly. I've been mulling it over for years actually.

With the recent changes under the new bill that now allows tips to be deducted from taxes, the way tips need to be recorded has shifted. Processing tips through credit cards adds extra tracking requirements on my end, and between that added administrative work and all the credit card processing fees, it’s no longer something that makes sense for the business.

Moving forward, any tips given in cash or through direct payment (Venmo, etc.) will go straight to your massage therapist without Square involved. This also allows the massage therapists/estheticians to report their tips separately and take full advantage of the new tax deduction in the simplest way possible.

To make this easy, I will have each therapist’s Venmo scan code printed and available at the front desk for quick and simple access.

As always, your generosity and kindness towards us doesn't go unnoticed. We are so grateful for the way you support our team.

Snowed in? Let's get creative

"Have no fear of perfection- you'll never reach it"

Hi everyone!

This week I’m focusing on Creativity from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition's Wheel of Life (a tool to help us bring balance to our lives). It feels especially fitting as we prepare for this snowstorm. When the world slows down and we’re tucked inside, it’s an invitation to shift out of productivity mode and into something softer, messier, and more creative.

Creativity doesn’t have to mean painting a masterpiece or doing something that others will look at and find beautiful. It can look like clumsily learning a new dance, trying a new recipe, rearranging a room, writing in a journal, or doing something just because it feels good — not because you’re “good at it.”

There’s a lot of freedom in letting ourselves be beginners again. We’re so used to the pressure of doing things efficiently and well that we forget creativity is supposed to be playful. It’s okay if it’s imperfect, it's part of the journey.

With the snow coming, I’m leaning all the way in. My kitchen is currently decorated in flour as I have bowls of sourdough focaccia, and sourdough English muffins resting to rise. This has been a venture of mine since my first sourdough loaf in May 2023 but I still do feel like a beginner since I don't stray too far from my recipe book, but I'm ok with that for now. I don't use a scale, I keep it as simple as possible so that I'll actually do it.

I wasn't sure if this can be considered creativity since I'm actually just following recipes and doing what the cookbook tells me to do but it still is so therapeutic to me because it still is taking one thing and turning it into something else for myself and family and friends to enjoy which is so gratifying(and nourishing and delicious). It also feels nice to partake in a traditional baking process that people have been doing for thousands of years that supports gut health.

If anyone is interested I would love to help you kickstart your sourdough project by giving you some of my starter and recommending the book I use (that friend recommended to me):

If you find yourself homebound over the next day or two, maybe take it as a little nudge to create something — a meal, a curated fun moment for your family, a memory. Not because you have to, but because it’s nourishing in a different way.

I’d love to hear what you end up doing with your snow day if you feel like sharing.

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the slow pace.

Warm wishes,
Meagan Sterling

A Little Personal News to Share 💙

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a little personal update with you all — our family is growing again! We are expecting our third baby this summer, and this time it’s a boy. We are incredibly excited to welcome him and begin this next chapter.

As many of you have experienced alongside me over the years, each pregnancy has meant stepping away from the treatment room for a period of time. I know that can be an inconvenience, and I never take for granted how gracious, patient, and supportive you all are when I need to take yet another pause from massaging. Your understanding has allowed me to both grow this business and care for my family, and that balance means everything to me.

I plan to be on maternity leave from July through approximately November. As always, I will make sure you are well taken care of during that time and will share recommendations and scheduling options so you can continue your care uninterrupted.

Thank you for being such an important part of my life and this little business that has grown so much over the years. Your kindness and loyalty are truly what make it all possible.

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you before July and then returning this fall with stories (and probably pictures 😊).

With gratitude,
Meagan

Mosaic is Celebrating 11 years!!

11 years in business yesterday Feb 7th 🤍

What started 11 years ago as a solo leap of faith—one massage therapist going out on her own—has grown into something I could have never imagined. I jumped right in and learned as I went, probably before I was actually ready, and yet I was met with so much grace, patience, and love along the way.

I never went to business school. I didn’t have formal training in how to run a company. I lean towards being more of a type B person, I have ADHD, not very tech savvy, my whole life I've been notorious for running late (I got a bit better but then after having kids, I'm usually running a tad later than I want to again). Basically I don't fit the mold for what I thought a business owner has to be like. I learned everything the long way—by showing up, making mistakes, listening, adjusting, and trying again. I was simply a massage therapist who wanted to build something of my own, use creativity, and create a space that felt like an oasis to the community.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful to work alongside five amazingly talented massage therapists, two of whom are also estheticians. They bring their different skill sets and inspire me with ideas and have helped to elevate Mosaic. The amount of love and support from this community has kept us going. You’ve trusted us with your sore muscles, your stories, your healing, and your time.

These 11 years have pushed me and helped me grow as a business owner and as a person. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every client, every therapist, and every supporter who has been part of this journey. This business exists because of you. 🤍

Here’s to growth, creativity, and whatever the next chapter brings.

I know that no one is reading this tonight with the Superbowl. Go Pats! I might have the game on in the background while my daughter and I make Valentine's Day heart garland tonight lol. If it comes out cute, you'll see it at Mosaic this week :)

*oh and check out our Instagram if you want to see how I made the celebratory logo pizza

have a great week!

Movement lessons learned from the Blue Zones

Hi everyone,

This week in our IIN Circle of Life series, we’re talking about physical activity — and not in the “push harder, do more” kind of way.

One of the most fascinating things I've learned from the Blue Zones (regions of the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives) is that longevity can be achieved through movement built into daily life.

In places like Okinawa, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya, and even Loma Linda CA, people don’t necessarily follow structured workout plans. Instead, they move naturally all day long — walking, gardening, cooking, carrying things, dancing, and spending time in community. Movement is woven into living, just like it was for most of human history.

What these cultures show us is that:

-Consistent, low-intensity movement supports heart health

-Regular use of the body maintains strength, joints, and mobility

-Movement improves mood, reduces stress, and supports mental clarity

-Moving together strengthens relationships — a huge factor in longevity

This kind of movement is gentle but powerful. It keeps muscles awake, circulation flowing, and the nervous system regulated.

At the same time, adding in small amounts of intentional movement — like strength training and stretching — can make a big difference, especially as we age. Even short (15-20 min), regular sessions help improve flexibility, support joint stability, protect muscle and bone mass, and significantly benefit mental health. Stretching and strength work have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help the nervous system feel more grounded and resilient.

If you want to bring more of this into your own life, here are a few simple ways:

-Take short walks throughout your day (maybe park farther away at the grocery store)

-Garden (obviously not now), cook, or work with your hands

-Choose stairs when you can

-Stand, stretch, squat or move during long periods of sitting

-Add stretching before bed

-Do something social that involves movement — walking with a friend, dancing, or helping someone out

One important reminder: you don’t need to feel like you got hit by a bus the next day after a workout to be making positive shifts in your body. And you don’t need to overhaul your life. Natural daily movement plus a little intentional care for your muscles and joints goes a long way.

As always, listen to your body, move in ways that feel supportive, and remember that movement is meant to help you feel more alive — not depleted.

With care,
Meagan Sterling LMT

Snowy Day Warm Wishes

Hi everyone,

I hope you all are staying safe and cozy and finding a little extra calm in your day. I'm enjoying a nice day at home inside but my husband shoveled us out this morning and is already back to work, like many of you are probably as well.

We're here with lots of availability this week if you're feeling sore from shoveling.
I woke up with an intense headache and since I cant go get a head and neck massage to help I'm drinking a turmeric golden latte and looking through my holistic healing books to try to kick this thing. One of them is called "Forgotten Home Apothecary" by Nicole Apelian Ph.D. I think its so valuable to have a book of traditional remedies at home.

amazon.com/Forgotten-Home-Apothecary-Powerful-Fingertips/dp/B0DJQVYV99 (https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Home-Apothecary-Powerful-Fingertips/dp/B0DJQVYV99)

I hope you have a great week and come get a massage or facial if you're able!

warmly,
Meagan Sterling LMT

we still have fire cider left over here. I encourage you all to make some at home too and stay well! Or if you’d rather support a local business who has perfected the fire cider is the best and you can find them at lots of local shops including roasters down the road from us
