Hello folks!
After 5+ years of private massage practice, I’m moving on to new adventures and sunnier skies. In a few weeks, my partner Jim and I are moving to Bend, where I will be working at the community college in the massage therapy program. I’ve long longed for a smaller town, a larger kitchen, and a more intimate connection with the outdoors, and I’m ready for my massage career to branch out in a new direction. Bend offers all this with the added benefit of allowing me to stay in a state that has become my heartfelt home.
The continuity of your care is extremely important to me, and thus I’m pleased to announce that Angella King, LMT, will assume the helm of my practice. I’ve enjoyed Angella and her skills for three years, and have been very happy to share an office building with her since July. Her practice is a great complement to mine, consisting of a variety of folks who enjoy the benefits of regular relaxation, athletes from recreational to Olympic, pregnant mommas needing some relief, and baby boomers and others who want help maintaining their wellness. She is a therapist into whose hands I’ve very gratefully placed my tired body after athletic events and stressful days, and I’m confident that you will find the soothing touch you are seeking in her practice. I’ve attached Angella’s bio – check her out!
We’d both like to ease your transition to her practice. When you come in for your final massage with me, I’ll be able to help you schedule your next session with Angella. Angella will be offering an introductory rate on your first massage of $50 for an hour and $75 for 90 minutes. This is a great opportunity to try out her skills and experience her work. You can view her availability and book online atwww.unwindmassage.net, or call (503) 310-1627. I feel very comfortable knowing that you will be in good hands with Angella…literally!
The Nitty Gritty:
My last day in the office will be Wednesday, January 21st. I’ll be maintaining my regular Wednesday – Saturday schedule through that date. There will be no refunds for unused gift certificates or package sessions. If you’d like to get in for one last session, please do schedule soon.
Classes Continue:
I’ll also be teaching a Back Massage for Couples class this coming Sunday, January 11th. There’s still space for 2 more couples. Private sessions are also available and can be scheduled at your convenience through January 21st.
I’m hoping to add at least two more classes to my couples class curriculum in the coming months. I’ll continue to intermittently teach in Portland as long as I can fill a class. If you’d like to be notified of these upcoming classes, please send me an email with “couples classes” in the subject line so that I can add you to the appropriate mailing list.
Keeping in Touch:
For all you massage-ophiles out there, my new relationship with massage will inspire more regular blog posts, so please do check my website regularly, or subscribe to the RSS feed for easy notification of new posts. www.taprootbodywork.com
I’ve known many of you for 5 years now, and I’m grateful for all the color you’ve added to the fabric of my life. If you’re inspired to keep in touch, I’d welcome your emails.
Stay warm! Take care of yourself! And follow your dreams!
