Sooo many clients tell me, "I need to come in more regularly, but I get busy and forget to book.  Or " I wish it was a bit more affordable".

I was not certain that a massage membership would be a program suitable for a sole practice, or that my clients would want one - so I sent out a survey.  Boy was I surprised.  A whopping 88% said they would be "Interested" or "Very Interested" in a discount massage program and a 20% discount seemed to be the sweet spot to entice people to participate.

So that's what I have created. A simple no nonsense membership program designed to  provide routine  monthly treatments for you at an amazingly affordable price.  Membership  will help you to create a self care commitment, plus  you'll be building a relationship with a thoughtful caring therapist provider. 

*When you commit to membership, you are helping change the culture of massage therapy. It is not a luxury, or a gift to oneself but a critical component to an overall wellness regimen.

Memberships provide a discount for every treatment.  At only $90 per month, it is a savings of 20% over walk in rates and helps reinforce the idea of routine visits and incorporating massage into a wellness regimen..

Our 6 Month members enjoy these amenities:

• Includes one 60 Minute Swedish massage treatment per month

Young Adults these days are under a lot of stress.  

There are numerous benefits to massage for students - here are just some:

Top 5 Benefits Of Massage For Students

1.  Lower Levels of Stress, help with Anxiety

According to the 2014 National College Health Assessment, students are really stressed out these days.  Research has shown over and over that  massage therapy is effective for stress relief.  Massage therapy has been proven to boost levels of the "feel-good" hormone dopamine, while at the same time lowering levels of the "stress-hormone" cortisol. 

2.  Better Sleep

Massage therapy has been shown help relax the body and improve sleep.  Massage therapy can help you get the sleep you need to stay focused on your studies.  


3.  Improved Focus

Students with ADHD can improve mood and classroom attention and focus with regular massage therapy.  Headaches, especially tension headaches, frequently get in the way of study and sleep, with up to 30-50% of young people suffering from regular headaches.  Get the relief you need to stay focused--massage has been shown to be effective against and to provide relief from from  tension headaches.

4.  Stay Active and Fit

"Freshman fifteen", anyone?  All of that study and stress can lead to increased levels of cortisol, which can slow metabolism, trigger inflammation, and encourage accumulation of body fat, one of your body's natural reactions to stress.. In addition to giving a boost to your metabolism, massage can also help out with any stiffness or sore muscles.  It is effective for pain management, faster recovery, and prevention of injuries, so that you can keep going. Massage therapy should be a part of your regular wellness regimen - even helping you to maintain peak fitness

5.  Immune Boosting

In addition to lowering cortisol levels, and increasing our "feel-good" neurotransmitters, massage therapy also improves immune function by increasing our body’s natural "killer T cells”  and lymphocytes, Student Dorms, housing lounges, classrooms are all close quarters and can be a breeding ground for germs and germ transmission.  Give yourself a boost--research shows that even a single session of Swedish Massage has a measurable biologic impact.

Making Massage a New Year's Resolution

You know the drill. Before the ball is finished descending in Times Square and the confetti has yet to hit the floor, most of us already have made our New Year's resolutions.

Every December, as we indulge in various holiday treats, we promise ourselves that once the New Year arrives, we will take better care of our bodies, minds and spirits. 3 out of 4 Americans claim this as their top resolution.  It is by far the most common.  But how many of you see it through?

The reasons behind these resolutions vary from person to person, but invariably, they are a reaction to the differing stresses that play such a major part in our daily lives. Job stress, family issues and a host of other outside factors provide the motivation to get in shape and learn to cope.

And according to a recent study, many Americans are making massage one of their top New Year's resolutions.

A telephone survey of 1,000 U.S. adults found that a majority of Americans said they experienced more stress in 2015 than the previous year (56 percent), and that they are seeking new methods to deal with that increased stress methods such as massage therapy.

Three out of four Americans (75 percent) claim their New Year's resolution is to focus on taking better care of themselves and achieving a more complete work/life balance.

The study revealed that 76 percent of respondents believe relaxation is very important to health and wellness, with 73 percent of respondents rating massage as either extremely relaxing or very relaxing, compared to 51 percent who said exercise was extremely relaxing and 29 percent who opted for a glass of wine or a cocktail to relax.

Massage therapy is less being viewed as an indulgence, but as a significant component to an overall health and wellness regimen.

To that end, we are offering a special "buy 3 get 1 free", as a way to make bodywork as routine as a getting a haircut.
