February 2012
Happy Valentine's Day!
There is so much news this month, I hardly know where to begin. The most important information is that I am all moved in at the new location, working and taking appointments! I do have a short list of little things that I still need to take care of since opening at the new facility. "All in good time", is all I can say about that!
This is the Chinese zodiak year of the Black Dragon or Water Dragon! Indeed, 2012 should be a good fortune year for all of us. It is an EXCELLENT year to come get your health-retoring massages here at White Dragon Therapies.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield informs me that I have passed my credentialing process. I just have to figure out how to sign the papers via the internet. Their on line confirmation process has a glitch and I have made several calls into the customer service dept. seeking help with it. Am waiting for the return call. So, Hopefully, by the time I send out this newsletter, it will all be completed and official and I can start taking you Regency Blue Cross of Oregon insurance.
When I moved all my equipment, furniture, skin care products and essential oils to the new massage clinic, I discovered a stash of Arbonne Face Color (make up) I am having a "moved in sale" for the entire month of February. I am also selling my samples of Arbonne face color. (The majority of these are still brand new. The ones that are used were with make up brushes and have not touched another person's face - i.e. the lipsticks, eye shadows, face poweders and blushes) I have the entire collection of the original loose face powders (before they went to just 3 choices). There are eye shadows, eye liners, lip liners, lip sticks, and lip glosses. I have an assortment of other Face Color items....really too much for me to list here. I will discount my stock of the Arbonne face color 10% off of the 2007 retail prices! This is a great savings to you and a fabulous deal for me!
There is an assortment of hot herbal teas available at my new massage clinic. It is help yourself/self serve. (I think there are two black teas included and one green tea) Make yourself a cup to go if you like! Enjoy.
I have some awesome additions to my Win-a-Massage drawing participants. Please visit these wonderful small businesses in our community. Fill out a ticket to win a massage while you are there!
Carole Good-Hanson of Gemini Gypsy is displaying her very beautiful fused glass art frames in the hallway and the restroom of my new massage clinic. We welcome you to stop by, brows and fall in love with one or more of her works of art. I am hosting a featured artist open house. MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Carole will be on site 2/11/12 from 10:00am to 4:00pm to answer your questions about her art, take orders for any custom works and happily sell you what you have to have and take home with you that day! Also, please visit my website. I have added a page entitled "Featured Artist". There are links to Carole's website there and pictures of some of the pieces that are on display now.
I will conducting short classes at RE ~ a coffee pub (located on the corner of NE Halsey St and NE 172nd Ave) on how to use essential oils for everyday health and well-being. This is better than "an apple a day will keep the doctor away". Classes will be free, I will try to keep them between 60 and 90 minutes long. And....the coffee at this place is fabulous. I am hooked on the Mexican Mochas! Classes will be the 2nd Monday of each month beginning at 6:00pm. MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The first class is 2/13/12.
Just click on the link below to watch the fun, listen to beautiful music and learn what I am offering as my special deal for the month of February.

- My second treatment room at the new location is still available for rent to any body worker that may be needing a place to set up shop. I will take another massage therapist, a reflexologist, an acupuncturist, even another aromatherapist, etc. I will even allow two practitioners to split the rent if they wish to share the room. If you know of anyone, please pass along my contact information to him or her.
Essential oils may help you with a wide range of concerns regarding your health and is not limited to massage therapy treatments. (although I personally think receiving essential oil treatments via a massage is the most pleasurable venue of health care.) Essential oils provide everyday health and well-being for the whole family!

Massage Therapy Help for Motor Vehicle Crash Injuries....
Have you been in a motor vehicle crash? Do you know anyone who has? Are you or they still in pain? Need healing b  odywork to help recover from your injuries?

Aromatherapy (essential oils treatments)
I alwa ys have Raindrop Treatments available. These are good for more than just keeping the cold and flu germs in check. The Original Raindrop Treatment is excellent for exhaustion, fatigue, feeling blue or a little run-down and have been proven to be an excellent pre-surgery treatment. Original Raindrop Treatment the day before a scheduled surgery will help you with the post surgery recovery, you will not be nausious from the anesthesia (you'll have actually taken less of this than expected) your pain after the surgery will be less, your healing time will be faster. So, by all means, do treat yourself to feeling great!
Boost your immune system this month! Book an appointment to come get an Original Raindrop Technique Aromatherapy session or a regular massage with a Raindrop Add-on! For colds and flu try an Original Raindrop Technique aromatherapy massage. Schedule your appt. to come in for an Original Raindrop Technique massage or just ask to have your already scheduled massage up-graded with an O.RT add-on! I promise....you will be feeling 100% better by the morning after this O.RT and on your way to being completely well. 
I do wish to post a reminder here that if you are experiencing any cold or flu like symptoms a few days before or the day of your scheduled massage, please call me and let me know. I would very much prefer that you stay home and get well rather than exposing healthy people to the virus.... Unless, of course you wish to request a Raindrop Treatment (RT) add -on to your massage! This is an excellent way to naturally boost your immune system for prevention of colds and flu. Raindrop Treatments have also been advantageous in helping to reduce symptoms and duration of colds and flu after you already catch them. (personal experience: the next day, you are all well! --no more suffering for weeks and weeks!)
NOTE: If you have a fever, it is recommended that you reschedule your massage appt. Wait for your fever to pass and then come in for your Raindrop Treatment.
I will also be diffusing air purifying essential oils in the massage room for all of our protection.
I have available, the Young Living explanation of Raindrop Therapy at websites: WhiteDragonTherapies and EssentialEverydayOils . If you are interested, I have a Raindrop Therapy Disclosure Packet available for your ease of reference that lists all the essential oils used, why they are used and what other additional health benefits they may provide along with any contraindications for these oils. My goal is helping you get healthy and stay healthy!

Beau's Massage Articles:
Body Work for Injury Rehabilitation
By: Beau Miakinkoff , LMT, LMP, CA, IAC
Have you ever been in an auto accident, fallen at work, hurt yourself doing things around the house? Sure you have. This happens to all of us eventually. My question to you is: What do you do about it?
You don't have to live with the pain from these injuries. Statistics support that the more body work you receive as soon as possible after an injury, the faster the injury will heal. The most common type of body work is massage therapy. There are many modalities and techniques used during a massage therapy session that is beneficial to assisting an injured body to recover. Relaxation, deep tissue, myofascial release, passive and active isolated stretching, trigger point release, hot and cold stone are just a few of them.
Massage therapy coupled with physical therapy, acupuncture, and simple home care techniques are a natural, healthful approach to reducing the pain. I have always believed that eliminating the pain is the greatest step towards encouraging an injury to heal quickly. My theory is the brain can not concentrate on healing with an injury screaming pain at it. Massage therapy sooths and assists the muscles to function within their designed limits thereby helping you to return to your normal everyday routine and feeling better than ever.
I have full descriptions of all my massage therapies on my website: http://portland-massage-therapy.net/ . Massage therapy of any kind has its greatest benefits over time. The therapeutic effects are cumulative, meaning the more often you receive them, the better you will feel and the more quickly your body and mind will respond.
