Schedule online for massage

You can now book online for my massage therapy! No more playing phone tag. (I'm always surprised when a massage therapist actually answers a phone)!

To be thankful...

This time of year causes us to reflect on the things in life we are thankful for. At our annual Thanksgiving dinner (with 20 adults and 20 plus children this year), we always go around the table indivually and each mention something(s) that we appreciate. Although I usually mention my wonderful family, here are some work related things that give joy:

• The opportunity to teach Ashiatsu and Bamboo-fusion to students. The look of joy on the students' faces when they finally figure out how to do the technique properly is truely priceless.
• My clients. I love stories from my elderly clients (ages 80-94) about the way life was back when.
• The appreciation from my clients when they tell me they don't know how they could live without me.
• Knowing that I make people feel better, oftentimes both emotionally and physically. The clients sometimes just need time to vent, and I can listen to them without judgement.
• Doing work that I really love. There is not much work-wise that places higher on my list than doing and teaching massage.
• My flexible schedule. It allows me to take my girls to dance lessons and take vacations (albeit unpaid!) whenever I so choose.

I would encourage all to think about the things in life that bring them joy and reflect on, no matter how rotten life seems sometime, that there really is much to be thankful for.

Bamboo Class in Cincinnati tomorrow

We're starting our 3rd bamboo-fusion class in Cincinnati tomorrow. It's a small group, and I'm happy to be teaching! Massage with the bamboo tools feels GREAT! It's fun to do, too.

Next class is to be announced. Make sure you check www.affinitymassages.com for more class info and dates.

Finally moved in

I just want to let you know that I've finally moved to a new, larger location. Although my old place had plenty of character, the time was right to move into a new building. So long to the Harleys revving on Hamilton Ave, the church in the next office singing their praises enthusiastically and the fire trucks whizzing by.

With lots of light, ample parking and a quiet atmosphere, my new studio is off the beaten path and ideal for both classes and massage therapy.

I'm located at 7813 Affinity Place, Cincinnati, OH 45231, in Mt. Healthy. It's taking longer than expected to fix it up, but it's all coming together.

Bamboo class in May

Bamboo-fusion massage therapy continuing education classes are coming in May to Cincinnati! I'm excited to host founder Nathalie Cecilia and Op Manager Karen Lay to my NEW studio May 20-21, 2008.

I loved my Bamboo training course (it felt awesome to receive!) and hope other LMTs will join us in class. Check out my website www.ashiatsuworkshops.com/bamboo_massage.
