Shh... we've got the secret to keeping a radiant glow all winter long!

It's no secret that our skin changes with the seasons.

But you might not know this: regular professional skin treatments can help restore skin from the drying effects of cold weather, low humidity levels, hot showers and soap-based products.

We offer a 14-zone skin health analysis during your first session, and we also offer different session times to fit your budget... and they start at just $25.

Let us help! During your appointment, we'll analyze your skin and create he best treatment plan for your individual skin concerns. We'll even give you a few tips to improve your home routine.

Because professional treatments are only a part of your skin health regimen, our goal is to give you the tools to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy between visits.

How to Schedule a Prental Massage and Skin Treatment

We are happy to accept clients at all stages of pregnancy and offer montlhy, trimester, and single session packages. 

BABY REGISTRY: send our contact information to your party hostess or planner. Any unused prenatal sessions from your package can be used as early as six weeks post-partum.

Most health care providers encourage patients to get a massage without restriction, but you may have a condition or special need. Check first.

Let us know how far along you are when you set up your first appointment. When you arrive, there is plenty of time to use the restroom, get comfortable, and discuss your goals. We generally position clients in the same way they sleep. We try to ensure the techniques used are comfortable and check in with clients during the session. 

You may fall asleep. That's 100% okay. The baby (or your therapist) will wake you!

If you have questions, please give us a call. The most common questions are related to restrictions (in case of hot stones, we may offer a hydrating skin, foot, or scalp treatment). Our massage therapist has worked on pregnant clients since 2006 (prior to licensure, she perfomed massage as a student in clinic as well as on her pregnant instructors). Our skin therapist has training in adapting a facial and skin treatment to prenatal clients and practiced as a nurse for nearly two decades prior to joining our staff.

Whether you're looking for Valentine's Packages, multi-session treatments, stocking stuffers, office gifts, or a single session to see just what the buzz is about: give us a call or visit our website.

4 ways to improve your sleep

4 ways to improve your sleep

Spring is finally here! 

A few of my favorite (spring) things:

• Chilly Willy's and Dairy Dee are back
• daffodils are budding
• basketball are in high gear

Sigh. If only my body clock felt like "Springing Forward."

How about you? It’s estimated that over 60 million Americans suffer from short-term (a few days or weeks) or long-term (more than a month) insomnia. 

Most cases of chronic insomnia are secondary: they are the effect of some other problem. We’ve all heard the standard ‘sleep hygiene’ tips about avoiding caffeine, using room-darkening shades, and going to bed at the same time every night. Here are a few other ideas that aren’t as well known.

#1 NAP PROPERLY
Taking a nap during the day can be great for productivity and fabulous for health, but you’ve got to do it right. Aim to nap for 20 to 25 minutes, any longer than that and you’ll feel groggy when you wake up and you risk not being able to fall asleep when it’s bedtime. (If you really want to get good at power naps, there’s a whole kit to help you get it right.)

#2 BE MINDFUL OF THE TEMPERATURE
Take a warm (not hot) shower or bath about an hour before bedtime, and keep your room cool at night. The drop in body temperature signals your body to calm so you’ll fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.

#3 TURN OFF THE ELECTRONICS
Okay, so you’ve heard this one. But it’s the most important and the least followed piece of advice.

Get an old fashioned alarm clock so you don’t need to use your phone and take all screens/devices in another room. Yes, another room. You may think that a phone on silent, hanging out on your nightstand, won’t disturb your rest, but it will. Just knowing it’s there puts your body on alert, and it's too tempting to check email in the middle of the night. Save yourself. Break this habit.

#4 GET A MASSAGE
Massage can help with sleep issues. There have been several studies demonstrating the efficacy of massage in people with sleep problems, especially when treating secondary issues that may impair sleep, like back pain, pregnancy and migraines.

Leave me a voicemail at (618) 392-3800 or schedule online at olneymassage.com and get ready for a better night’s sleep. You might even fall asleep on the table.

MINI TOUR Olney Massage Clinic

Are you a new client (or would like to be)? 

We're so glad you're checking us out,. This post includes a few things you may find helpful while you're shopping around for a massage therapist. 

The clinic is open weekdays: 10:00am-8:00pm by appointment. You may schedule your first appointment instantly online: http://olneymassage.com

At times we're fully booked, but we're not too busy between New Year's Day and Valentine's Day. That's the best time to make the most of your massage gift certificate (even if it's not from us).

New to the clinic? You're in for a treat. We offer the full amount of hands-on time listed on the menu. No more spa massages with 50 minute "hours." Sixty minutes means sixty minutes here. Even better: most spa "upgrades" are included at no charge in your customized massage session.

The clinic is owned and operated by Cynthia Given, LMT (IL lic. #227008310). She has been massaging men, women, and children in Olney, Illinois since 2007. The clinic is accessible to clients with disabilities and is located at 604 West Main Street.

2014 plans: we're adding a skin therapist! Licensed estheticians can perform skincare services such as facials and makeup application. Stay tuned for an announcement in May.

See you soon!

PS Thinking of a gift for Valentine's Day? Our online gift shop is open 24/7.

Making the most of your gift certificate: three tips

Here are three tips on redeeming your Olney Massage gift certificate (and a bonus tip if your gift certificate came from somewhere else). Ready to schedule? Book online! Your appointment is confirmed instantly. Need to call us first? Leave a voicemail, and we'll return your call between sessions: (618) 392-3800. See you soon!

1. Tell your friends (no, really). Let your loved ones know well in advance that you'll be unavailable for an hour after work (or whenever you choose to enjoy your massage). When you arrive at the clinic, turn off your cell phone. This is your time to recharge.

2. Enjoy an upgrade. If a free massage is good, a longer massage is better! Feel free to schedule whatever service you like. Look for the dollar amount listed on the gift certificate (it will cover most of your upgraded session). If there is a difference in session fees, we accept: credit, debit, Olney Chamber of Commerce SOS bucks, cash, local check, health savings account, or flexible spending account. 

3. Enjoy a discount. We offer a loyalty discount for clients who prepay for multiple sessions. Stretch your dollars (and your loved one's dollars) by putting your voucher towards a package of massages you'll enjoy on a regular basis.

BONUS: did you receive a massage gift certificate that didn't come from Olney Massage? Believe it or not, we accept those too! You'll need to call us before you schedule to make sure we'll accept it. Most gift certificates are accepted as long as the massage therapist is licensed, insured, and practicing locally.

Three FREE massage techniques to practice at home.

Greetings! I hope you've checked off the names on your "nice" list. If not: the e-gift shop is open 24/7... even on Christmas Day!


Note: if you experience any pain, please stop! These tips are for healthy clients who want a pick-me-up between regular appointments.

1. HANDS: Simple! Lightly pinch the thumb webbing of your left hand (between your left index finger and left thumb) with your right index finger and right thumb. Pinch a little more if you're up for it! (I like to add a few deep breaths: exhale as you pinch, holding for 4-5 seconds and release). Follow up by massaging each finger: place your right thumb and index finger at the bottom knuckle of each left finger and work down to the fingertip. Repeat 2-3 times.
2. NECK: Tilt your chin down and turn your head to the right. Make your left hand into a half-open fist. Your fingers should be loosely curved (not rigid). Place them on the left side of your neck (no need for a lot of pressure here). Avoid lifting the fingertips from your neck: let your fingers slightly drag down the side of your neck and toward your left shoulder. Repeat but this time add small circles with your fingertips. Start with just enough pressure needed to pet an unfamiliar cat (ha!), adding more as desired. Repeat on right side.
3. BACK: You'll need a partner for this (if you do a good job, maybe your partner will return the favor!). Take those curved fingers you've been perfecting and place them between your loved one's shoulder blade and spine. Remember those small circles in #1? Make them a bit bigger. Most people can handle a little more pressure. Ask for feedback!

I am so grateful for your loyalty, referrals, reviews, and gift certificates (new record!). With all of this growth, I'm happy to take a few days off after Christmas to get ready for 2014. Remember: the clinic will be closed Dec. 25-30th.
