Happy 6th Anniversary To Me!

This month marks my Sixth Anniversary as a Massage Therapist!  Thank you all for your trust and support and business!  I couldn’t have done it without my wonderful clients, with whom I am humbled and honored to be able to work.

AIDS/LifeCycle 8

For the third consecutive year, I am going to be a member of the massage team on the AIDS/LifeCycle, a 7-day, 545-mile bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles that raises money for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center.  These two organizations provide support to people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as providing prevention education, housing assistance, and other social services.

Between now and May 30, every massage I perform will result in a $10 donation to my fund raising efforts.  You can also donate online via the ALC website or if you would like to mail in a donation, the ALC8 Donation Form on my website.  Please donate today and help people living with HIV/AIDS.

Furlough Fridays

I know it’s tough out there right now for everyone.  So every Friday this month,  those of you who have been affected by this recession with job loss can receive a massage at a 50% discount.   Contact me before booking, and I’ll give you the discount code for paying online.  Massage can help reduce anxiety and elevate mood, which are two important effects when looking for a job.

Stairway Walk 3, re-dux

Our February walk was rained out, so we’re going to do “Railroad Barons and Silver Kings” on March 29th at 11am.

Winter is either finally here or about to end – with the unseasonable weather we’ve been having, it could be either!

In this issue:

* Hooray! Blogging Award
* Stairway Walk 3 Date Announced

Hooray!

I am very happy to announce that was selected to be listed on the People’s Health Blogger Awards Top 100 List this week! And even better, I won the Best in Category Award for my blog, Healing Hands. Thank you to everyone who voted for me! Hooray!

And to celebrate, for this month, I’m doing an online special – book and pay for the session via my website, and you’re receive a 25% discount by using the coupon code “AWARD01″ during the check out process. It’s my way of saying thank you for your support of my thoughts and ideas.

Massage is very important when you’re busy – especially when you’re busy, to help keep the stress to a minimum. And as you know, massage helps promote sleep, lowers blood pressure, helps reduce anxiety, boosts mood, and feels really good!

Mark Your Calendar – Stairway Walk 3

I’m still finalizing the route, but keep Sunday 22 February 2009 free for the third in the monthly series of walking tours of San Francisco wonderful stairways. We have a great time, it’s a fantastic way to meet some new and different people, have some fun conversation, connect with the building in a new way, and to see some of the amazing architecture and spectacular views that make San Francisco so beautiful and mysterious. There’s something see around every corner on these walks, and you’ll have a great time! See you soon!

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

One of the great things about Valentine’s Day is that is starts to signal the end of WInter. And what a great way to mark the occasion than with a Couples Massage – Two (2) 90-minute Sessions Back-to-Back.

Another great way to explore being close to your loved one is a Couples Massage Class – in this 90-minute session, you and your loved one will be guided through some simple massage techniques to do at home on each other. This is a hands-on session where I will guide you through various massage strokes as well as show you the most comfortable way to do them on a bed or floor.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you soon!
