Diamonds are not a Girl's Best Friend

Say "I Love You" with a Massage

Who ever came up with the idea that diamonds are a girl's best friend? We all know what women really want. Massage!

This year, skip the expensive diamond necklace and give her a relaxing therapeutic massage. To make the deal even sweeter, surprise her with a clean house and a romantic meal or some wine when she gets home after her massage. You're guaranteed to put a smile on her face and remind her why she chose you in the first place.

Did you know???

Did you know??? In 2001, a study was performed to determine the effectiveness of massage therapy vs. relaxation in reducing lower back pain. 2 groups, a massage and a relaxation group, were used to perform the study. After 6 months, the massage group experienced less lower back pain, less depression and anxiety, and better sleep quality than the relaxation group. The massage therapy group also showed improved range of motion and their serotonin and dopamine levels were higher than the relaxation group. I think it's really neat to see science backing up claims that massage really does decrease your pain and make you happy!

Stress and Aging

A client of mine told me about this today. I thought it was interesting and wanted to pass it on.

Did You Know???

Did you know there are over 250 types of massage? Each type of massage is called a modality.

Massaging the Neck and Shoulders

I have had several clients ask me about teaching couples massage classes. I would like to do this someday, but I am not ready to take that step yet. In the meantime, here's a video showing you how to massage the neck and shoulders. This lady does a lot of similar moves to mine, so perhaps your significant other can attempt to re-create what I do for you in the office at home.

Take Advantage of This Sweet Holiday Treat

Sugarplums may be dancing in your head, but those sweet treats will pale in comparison to the yummy massage you will receive with me in December. Decrease all your stress and cold weather aches with a peppermint scented massage that includes warm towel treatments and hot stone work on the back. I'll set the holiday ambiance with vanilla scented candles and some relaxing Christmas piano music.

After your "sweet treat," you will be invited to lounge in my waiting room while I apply warm towels to your feet and make you a steaming cup of hot cocoa, stirred with a peppermint stick and topped off with marshmallows. There is no extra charge for this service, just ask for the holiday treat at your next massage!

Also, don't forget that between November 27, 2009 and December 26, 2009, if you buy 4 online Gift Certificates for your loved ones, you will receive a 5th massage free to gift to yourself or another person of your choice. The 5th massage will be e-mailed from Caring Touch Massage, LLC within 48 hours of the original purchase.
