March 2012Happy St. Patrick's Day
The daffodils I planted around the tree in my front yard started coming up last month. I am so excited. Makes me wish springtime was here right now. I'm not gonna be fooled...as much as I'd love to see warmer temperatures here, I know we still have a bit more cold weather coming our way. And, while I'm on the subject of gardening...I found and secured a plot of ground for this year's veggie endeavors. I am so excited. Last year I had space that totaled 10x10. This year I have a 20x20! I can hardly wait for planting day.
I'm looking forward to my grandson's, Zan, 2nd birthday. I'll be having a "wee bit" of a toast to him on St. Patrick's Day. (I tried the green beer last year and it was terrible. So this year, I will just stick with a shot of good Irish Whiskey...if I can find some) I love it that Zan is my little leprechaun. Happy Second Birthday Zan-baby ♥!
Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance is finally in place. I am good to go with accepting your insurance coverage for massage therapy.
Many of you have already seen the wonderful "Book Now" button feature that has been added to my website. Some of you have experienced a snafu with the system. I am happy to let all of you know that I think I have the problems all solved. (this has been a learning experience for me with this new-fangled, make-your-life-easier tool) I'm not being sarcastic, really. I think this little gadget is truly easier for some of my clients. I do wish to let you know that if you are seeking a "same day" massage appointment and the GenBook system is not showing anything available, it is still highly recommended that you CALL me. I am working and I may have time available and can fit you into the schedule. I will do my very best to accommodate you as soon as possible. Signs for my new location are in! They are on the tenant board at the corner of NE Halsey and Ne 172nd, on the tenant board at the entrance to Snow's Plaza II and on my big front window! So, it's not a secret where I'm at anymore!
I will continue to sell all the Arbonne About Face products at 10% off of the 2007 retail prices. (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 About Face Color items....really too much for me to list here.
Carole Good-Hanson will continue to display her beautiful fused glass art frames in the hallway, restroom and 2nd Tx room (at least until I get the 2nd tx room rented out) here at my massage clinic until the end of April 2012. We welcome you to stop by, brows and fall in love with one or more of her works of art. These are for sale. So don't be shy and don't regret passing up on owning her uniquely framed artworks. BTW...she informs me that she is entirely negotiable on prices. Make a deal with her!!!
My next essential oils class will be March 12th, 2012 at 6:00pm at RE~a coffee pub located at the corner of NE Halsey and NE 172nd Ave. The topic for this class will be about essential oils for the common cold and flu viruses. Classes are FREE. Please come learn how you can avoid spending money to see a doctor and throwing away your hard-earned dollars on over-the-counter pharmaceuticals that do not help you get well. Also: Michael, the proprietor of RE, tells me that he will keep the soup on and the kitchen open to make hot sandwiches if you want to come for dinner while attending these free classes. AWESOME! One more comment: Michael has a truly amazing chocolate in the shop now... he is billing it as "OMG Chocolates! You won't understand unless you try them" (the name is really called Missionary Chocolates) These are fabulous. A local naturopath Dr. makes them. They are vegan and organic and anyone that can appreciate the properties and benefits of a fine chocolate will definitely love these. --chocolates for the true chocolate connoisseur.
 On February 10th, I was selected as one of the top 10 massage therapy practices in Portland Oregon by MassageSchool.org . You can see my "award badge", pictured here, and I have it posted at the bottom of my welcome page of my website too. I think this is awesomeness!
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 March.
Announcements:
- I always have Massage Gift Certificates available for for any occasion. Even for no good reason, there are gift certificates here for you. Remember, I sell my gift certificates for a discount of $5.00 less than the cash at time of service rates.
- The Monday afternoon Knitting Social is from 2:00 - 4:00pm in the dining room over by the windows. This is a social. No fees for admittance. If you are not currently a member of an Elks Lodge, you may attend as a guest of someone who is. Crocheting and Knitting help with your current projects will be on hand. (I am one of the teachers!!!)
- It is my plan that every quarter or so I will have a new artist featured for your enjoyment and please don't be shy... these artworks are for sale! I will also be featuring the artists in a post on my website and will include photos. So if you know of an artist that would like to display their work and possibly make some sales, please have him/her give me a call.
- 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!

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.
