Better than Candy Canes

Note: I wrote this on November 8, 2011. Still relevant today!

A few years ago, a client confessed that she had reached her holiday stress limit:

• "I'm glad that you don't decorate your office. If I have to walk into one more store blasting "Jingle Bell Rock" on an infinite loop, I'm going to scream!"

I don't have candy canes... but I do have:

- high thread count sheets

- luxe massage cream (in several scents and unscented!)

- one of the best massage tables that money can buy

- relaxing nature, meditation and beach soundtracks (pre-mixed or customized for you)

- gift certificate packages at 10% off (ends tonight)

If you're ready for a five star massage escape that you can't get anywhere else, you know what to do!

Cost Free Tips for Coping with Holiday Stress

My clients already know why a massage table is the perfect place to get away from food, friends, family, and fa-la-la-ing. But I'm realistic. I know it's a struggle to find an hour each week (or even an hour each month) to recharge.

If you're weary from making a list and checking it twice, try these ten quick (and FREE!) tips.

Gift Certificates (buyer's guide)

Sure, moms love massages, but dads, grandparents, and even children love them, too!
A number of my clients are either under 18 or over 50.

Even if you don't know a thing about massage, giving a massage gift certificate can make you look like the best gift-giver around. When in doubt, ask for "one hour Swedish." It's offered in nearly every spa, clinic, and salon that offers massage therapy.

"Short Guide: Selecting a Massage Gift Certificate"

1. Personality
If your special someone has already received a professional massage, there's a good chance they'll enjoy a full-body (60 min) massage or lava stone massage (60-90 min).

If he or she is new to massage, a better selection might be a half-body massage (30 min). This gives your recipient an opportunity to try things out. I let my first-timers know when 30 minutes have passed and give them an opportunity to continue for the full hour, applying the 30-min gift certificate towards the full hour fee.

2. Price
Consider a half-body certificate if your budget is tight. However, if you're really in the mood to provide pampering, consider a package. Prepaying for a combination of treatments that can be used on different days can stretch your gift for a week (for example, a Monday massage and a Thursday sea salt glow).

3. Time
Is he or she always on the go? Slow down! You can often find a great spa package (for example, a massage gift basket with a gift certificate for a half-or full-day pass, brochure, and even beauty products sold at the spa). Also, a half-hour massage is great for on-the-go types who want to squeeze in time to relax during lunch hour.

4. Professionalism
Can you reach the therapist in a timely manner? If he or she massages full-time, often they must return calls between massages (since their phone is silent while during sessions). Be wary of someone who seems forgetful or difficult to reach after a day or two of phone tag.

5. Paper
Ask to see credentials. Does your loved one really like a special type of massage (for example, hot stone)? Is your therapist qualified to perform prenatal massage for the mom-t0-be in your life? Ask if the massage therapist is qualified (nationally certified and/or licensed). Ask about insurance (if not, you may not be protected in an accident).

Checking things out first really makes an impression. By not giving Dad another tie on his birthday, you're his new favorite child. Same goes with a new mom who's up to her ears in diapers.

idea book - page two

Here's the text of page two of my idea book. (page one is just a design)

8/24/08

I have kicked around the idea for a massage center for a few years, but only now am I getting serious about it. I REALLY like the name "Cloud Nine" and the concept of a "green" facility. I think it will be a great place for people to experience therapeutic massage and maybe learn how to live better, too.

When people come to a green spa, they

-want to relax

-receive quality services

-are confident their experience is good

-for them, and

-for the planet

I believe my idea for a green spa will work if I present a quality concept because protecting the planet is (or should be) a priority.

Massage is a great addition to almost anyone's wellness plan, and it should be available to everyone who needs or wants it. By having services that fit all budgets, anyone who stops by can fit even a short chair massage into his or her day.

I want to introduce people to massage and a green lifestyle, making both ideas accessible and affordable as much as possible.

Being good to yourself and the planet is possible (and affordable). Keep this a community project by using your mouth or your money (or both!). Thanks.
