The school year has begun, and I don’t know about you but I’m feeling a bit stressed. (Both as a teacher AND as a mom!) Thankfully I have my next several massage appointments scheduled. Do you?

I have one super rare school year massage spot available next Tuesday at 5pm that just opened up. To get scheduled click the link in my IG bio or visit MassagebyMelissaLLC.com.

Do I charge extra for credit card payments?
Nope, and I never will.

Credit card fees are simply part of doing business, and I account for them at tax time like any other expense. While payments by cash or check mean fewer fees on my end (and are always appreciated), I want you to pay in the way that’s most convenient for you. (Most of us don’t carry around wads of cash.)

So swipe, tap, or bring cash - whatever works best. No guilt necessary, and no extra fees either way.

I just returned home from a trip to Poland and am excited to get back to work this week. 🇵🇱

(The picture is from a hike my friend and I did through Hala Gąsienicowa in the Tatra Mountains. Don’t be deceived by how flat it looks there. It was a thigh-burning 3300 foot descent in just over 4 miles. 🫠)

My summer appointments have officially filled. I look forward to seeing you all this summer! Should I have any cancellations they’ll be posted on IG and FB.

If you have an appointment scheduled and I haven’t seen you since last summer, I’ll be emailing new online intake forms. You can also print one from my website, complete it, and bring it to your appointment.

My former student, Joslyn, will be sharing my space with me for a while. If you wish to complete a paper intake at your appointment please be aware that because I’m now sharing my space my schedule will be pretty tight. Depending on your arrival time, filling out your form at your appointment may cut into your hands-on time. Please plan to arrive a bit early, or feel free to choose one of the options listed above. Thanks for understanding!

If you’d like to schedule with Joslyn, you can check her out at earthlytents.massagetherapy.com. She has a gentle, caring style that is very relaxing. 💕

As I’m working on prepping a new module for one of my massage classes at NTC, I was reviewing the Code of Ethics from ABMP, the professional massage association I belong to.

In it it states, “I will demonstrate compassion and respect for others. I will seek to decrease discrimination, misunderstandings, and prejudice. I will not refuse service to any client based on disability, ethnicity, gender identity, marital status, physical build, or sexual orientation; religious, national, or political affiliation; or social or economic status.”

Massage by Melissa is a No Judgement Zone during Pride Month and all months.

My summer schedule is finally available! 🥳

Later this summer I will be welcoming my former student, Joslyn, who will be sharing my space with me. (Once she is up and running I’ll share her contact information.) Because I will be sharing my space with another wonderful massage therapist, my schedule is a little more structured than usual.

If you’re dealing with complex health issues or have detailed questions about your care, I kindly ask that you reach out by email or text/phone before your appointment. That way we can make a plan ahead of time, and you’ll get to enjoy your full hands-on time during your session. Feel free to email (massagebymelissallc@gmail.com), or call/text (715-572-5646).

Your comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Thanks so much for helping me make your massage as effective and relaxing as possible!

To get scheduled click the Book Now button in IG or visit www.MassagebyMelissaLLC.com.

At this time I am not taking new clients except those with gift certificates to be redeemed. Thank you for understanding.

How have you been spending the past few warm, sunny days?

It’s probably no surprise but outside of work I’ve been gardening. I also got to attend my son’s baseball scrimmage (his team won!) without needing a coat or blanket which was glorious.

Let me know what you’ve been up to and feel free to post a pic in the comments on Facebook!
