The beauty of bamboo

As a side note from my usual self promotion of my classes, etc., I'd like to chat for just a moment about the amazing natural beauty of bamboo.

It's hardy, growing in many different environments. Bamboo grows rapidly and is self sustainable. Beautiful floors can be made out of bamboo as well as baskets, lampshades and even articles of clothing.

So why do I like my bamboo tools? They're sturdy, retain heat well. The product used is easily replaced by more rapidly growing bamboo (unlike stones for hot stone massage). And clients love, love, love it!

New Bamboo products

I got in a small portion of my backordered bamboo and was able to send it out yesterday. It is unbelievably gorgeous. So smooth, it'll glide perfectly on the client's skin while the massage therapist effleurages and frictions the bamboo tools.

http://www.affinitymassages.com/ has class dates and details. I do have a couple of bamboo table sets in stock that can be sold.

Did you order bamboo tool kits?

If you ordered Bamboo-fusion solid bamboo tool kits at the KY AMTA convention in March, I'm pleased to let you know that you'll finally be getting them!

I expect the bamboo sets to arrive at my office in Cincinnati tomorrow (Tues, June 29), and I'll mail them out by the end of the week.

A few spots still remain for my August 2-3 class in Cincinnati.

Ann Arbor bamboo-fusion

I have postponed the Ann Arbor bamboo-fusion class. Check my website, http://www.affinitymassages.com/ for more information about the class and new dates.

More than likely, we'll try to have it when the weather starts to get a little cooler in the Midwest. Maybe October. Stay tuned!

FSMTA convention

Interested in a little introduction to Bamboo-fusion massage without having to commit to a full 2 day class? At the Florida State Massage Therapy Convention, we'll be doing two 3 hour classes, one each day on Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. The dates are July 8 and 9, 2010.

The FSMTA is a huge convention held in Orlando each year. Come join us for some great classes, cool booths, hot weather and cool drinks!

http://www.affinitymassages.com/ has information about my 2 day, 16 CEU classes in Cincinnati.

July Ann Arbor bamboo class

I still have space available in my Ann Arbor, MI bamboo class, scheduled for July 12 and 13. The last class filled to capacity! Email for details at fredettemassage@fuse.net.

You'll get tons of hands on and learn great new ways to really relax your clients!
