Redeem Your Massage Voucher
HomeRun Voucher
The HomeRun Voucher is good for either a 30-minute Deep Tissue Tune-up OR a 60-minute Relaxation Vacation session. The difference between the sessions is that one is a spot treatment for a tense or painful area, the other is a full-body relaxation massage. You can add deep tissue work to the relaxation session for an additional $20.
In order to redeem your voucher, please select one of the following:
30 Minute Deep Tissue Tune-up
60 Minute Relaxation Vacation
Groupon Voucher
The expiration date has past for the Groupon Voucher I sold back in November 2009, but that doesn’t mean that you are out of luck! Instead, the vouchers become worth the price you paid for them – so they are worth $40 toward the purchase of my bodywork services. In order to redeem your voucher, please click the “Book Now!” link at the top of the page!
Good News! Credit Cards in the Office
Because I am constantly seeking to be of service to you, my wonderful clients, I am now able to accept credit cards in my office – you will no longer have to pay online before a session if you wish to use a credit card, although you still certainly can if you want. Thanks to the return of my iPhone, I have a credit card processing application from Intuit, the makers of Quicken and QuickBooks, which allows me to accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
This is just one more way to help make your decision to receive bodywork easier and more stress-free!

Massage Helps Foot Pain
- Interossi Muscles of Foot – Image from University of Michigan Medical School
A client with a diagnosis of capsulitis in his left second metatarsal-phalangeal joint presented with constant nagging pain when walking or standing. I worked on his foot, relaxing and stretching the interosseous muscles – the muscles between the metatarsal bones of the foot. My thought process on this was that if I could get those muscles to relax and to open up the space between the bones, some of the tension in the foot would be resolved and the ligaments would have a chance to have a bit more breathing room and heal.
Client reported eliminated pain more than one week later following treatment. Recommended to client a protocol of self-massage and stretching of the affected region of the foot for continued maintenance, and periodic massage sessions to continue to improve and reduce foot pain.
Stairway Walk – Eureka Valley
Castro and Eureka Valley c1910. Greg Caur Collection
I thought for Pride Month, we’d traipse and gallivant through Eureka Valley, also known to people the world over as The Castro. This 2.2 mile walk is more strenuous than other walks we’ve done, but I guarantee you it will be worth all the effort.
WHEN: Sunday 20 June 2010 at 11am
WHERE: Northwest corner of Elizabeth and Douglass Streets
WHAT: a jaunt through tree-lined streets, incredible views, interesting architecture, and more!
WHY: because walking is what we do.
HOW MUCH: tips always appreciated – suggested tip, $5.00
Bring yourself some sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, at least one orange or other snack (preferably two), camera, comfortable shoes, a light wind jacket (just in case), and a friend or two.
Tax Season – Make a Commitment to You!
Spring is here, and with it Tax Season! Since we have already all filed our returns, and (hopefully) gotten our refund checks, you might be wondering what to do with it, right? Well, here’s a solution for you: buy a massage package. With packages ranging from 5 to 20 hours, you can find one that meets your needs and budget. You’ll receive discounts from 7.5% to 20%, too, so you’ll save money of my already-low regular hourly rate.
Best of all, you’ll be making a commitment to your health and well-being, and will get a guaranteed time slot just for you! You like Fridays at noon to get your weekend started? Well, you can have that. Wednesday evenings? Saturday mornings?
Time slots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, but once you have secured your spot, I will ensure that that spot is always available to you.

Stairway Walk – Russian Hill North

I skipped March, but the Stairway Walk is back for April! We’ll be exploring the northern walk on Russian Hill this month, and the southern walk in May. It’s a two-part walk you’ll be sure to want to catch both sections, and you’ll get to explore some of the small pockets of San Francisco that survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Hooray!
This 1.6 mile walk is on the low-end of moderate difficulty, so if you have been able to participate in other of our walks, this one will pose no problem for you.
