Summer, summer, summer!
 
I hope everyone is having a good time this summer (er ...global warming season) so far.  I have been so busy with my garden and am already canning and freezing all kinds of   foods. It's work, but I am having fun doing it. So far, I have bread and butter pickles, green beans, kosher dill spears, collards, kale, strawberries, and raspberries put up for the winter. :)

This first week in August I am taking 4 items to the Clackamus County Fair.  (I am hoping I win a blue ribbon for the Irish Crochet Shawl that took me 3 months to make!)  I will be entering 2 afghans and a table top doily -- that's a really big doily! I have not entered anything in a county fair since 2004 .  It makes me feel really good to be able to do this again.

Summertime colds are no fun. A very quick and effective way to knock out that summer cold/flu is to come in and get an WDT Original Raindrop Technique massage.  It does not hurt.  You'll feel great and I promise, you'll be well by the morning of the next day! 

A recent survey of the surrounding Portland, Oregon area has revealed that the average rate for a one hour massage from an independent (not a spa or massage chain facility) licensed massage therapist is $81.71.  Wow.  I was shocked.  This study considered fees that vary for Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Medical/Clinical Massage and Aromatherapy services (some of all the things that I provide).  While I am struggling in this poor economic environment, just as many of my clients are, I am somewhat pleased to have not had to pass along any of the additional costs and overhead that keep increasing for me.  I have had two essential oil cost increases,  the costs of my carrier oils (of which I will not purchase a lesser grade) have increased, the cost of having to move my practice and then absorb the additional rents and utilities overhead was not passed on to my clients either.  The costs of my keeping my license in good standing and taking meaningful continued education coursed so that I am able to continue to provide a viable alternative healthcare resource has also not been passed along to my clients.  I am the best deal in Portland!  For a very economical $65.00 you get a one hour full body, Swedish massage with hot stone deep tissue healing accompanied by essential oil treatments and/or some focus treatment injury rehabilitation / help with a pathology for no extra costs!  I strive to keep my rates affordable, reasonable and accessible to everyone! I love my clients! I love taking care of each of you. ♥♥♥   
Topical analgesics, cold and flu relief, pathology relief products are at White Dragon Therapies.  Just click on them to go directly to my website for information about them.

Shingles Relief: 
I was handing out a flyer with instructions for people to make their own essential oil blend to help with shingles outbreaks. But it can get rather costly for some people to buy the individual bottles of each essential oil in order to make the blend themselves.  I now have available the relief solution already blended and ready to use and less costly for you. It is in a 15ml bottle for $ 16.00 .

 

  

progessence plus serumI am also very happy to announce that I am now stocking Progessence Plusat the clinic. Progessence™ Plus serum is formulated for maximum performance. All natural, USP-grade super-micronized progesterone from wild yam is melted in vitamin E and essential oils for optimal absorption. Studies indicate that limonene from frankincense and bergamot and menthol from peppermint oil can enhance substance penetration through the skin. Progessence Plus does not require the cycling of application sites. How to use: Directions: Apply 2-4 drops daily on neck area. For added effect, apply 1-2 drops along forearms daily. Do not exceed two applications per day. Does not need to be rotated on different areas of the body or cycled throughout the month. Progessence Plus serum product information page (PDF)  

 

Angela Kienholz is still displaying her photography art inside the clinic.  (I am personally going to get 2 of them)  I have become so attached the two that I don't want them to leave!  Please take some time to view them while you are here.  They are very reasonably priced and ready to frame!   

  

 
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  August...

     

Announcements: 
  • I always have Massage Gift Certificates available for for any occasion.  Even for no good reason, there are gift certificates here for you.    
  • My second treatment room at the clinic is now being used as my Boutique.  (Needleworks by Beau) All the nice hand knitting and crocheting I do is on display and for sale.  (Since I am having such a difficult time finding another bodywork practitioner to rent this space, I figured I could put it to good use until then)  Click on the link to go to my webpage with pictures of items available so far. I'm not yet finished putting items in there and not yet finished with putting everything on the Needleworks by Beau page on the website either...  Lots more is coming!!!! 
  • The 2nd Monday of the month Essential Oils classes are being suspended.  The time is not agreeable with the Coffee Shop owners.  I am looking for another space to hold these "health and wellness with essential oils" classes.  
  • Angela Keinholz has her photography art on display at White Dragon Therapies.  Beautiful pictures of flowers, fences, windows and gates from all around the world.  Reasonably priced and ready to frame!

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!    

 

 

     

I alwardt kitys 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) addgreen sick smiley-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!
