Greetings!
 
Wow - did it get hot or what?  I have to apologize to those of you who came in for a massage and the place was a little stuffy.  We got that issue all worked out and it's nice and comfortable in here now - Yay!
 
I am always looking at how I can improve my services.  Lately I have been researching a receptionist service or online booking to help you reach me easier.  What would you prefer, talking to a real person or setting up your appointment on-line?  Let me know your thoughts - 
slhammond@earthlink.net.
 
Thanks,
I'll see you soon!

Keeping Cool

 Spending some time at the Farmer's Market every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning has made me try to find ways to keep myself cool in this heat.  I found this "cool" article that has a lot of tips. (Click here)  You may find it of interest as well!

 
Remember that your pet can suffer from heat stroke as well.  Make sure they have plenty of shade and water if they are kept outside.  Even better - keep them inside!!!  Shaving longer haired breeds is a common thing to do.  Personally, I'm not so sure it's a good idea, but I don't have any backup for that.  If you do shave, make sure you apply sunscreen, because they can burn.  Use sunscreen made for pets, since some made for humans may be toxic to your pet.  It's even recommended if you and Fido are going to be out in the sun a long time, to put some on his nose! cool dog
 
Don't forget your sunscreen as well!  But do get some time in the sun, since the latest medical news is that we are all vitamin D deficient.  Go figure!
Weddings and other Events
 
I'm not sure if everyone knows that I offer my massage service for your special event.  If you have a small party, like a bridal party, I can come set up at a location of your choice and provide chair or table massages.  I gave 30 minute massages to 6 friends who got together years after graduating college, and they had a ball.  They did each other's nails, and I brought some foot soaking materials for them to use while they were waiting for their turn.  They had fun got back in touch with each other.  There are a lot of options that we can do, just call me and we can discuss it.  704-564-2289

Testimonials:
  "My massage was outstanding. A major aspect I'm focusing on bringing into my life is the feeling of being attended to. You definitely gave me that. Your space, room, etc. are perfect and feel like a refuge.
   My spine gave me a twinge or two afterwards when I sat on a hard straight back chair. I just stretched and repositioned and was fine. The massage, I think, released my spine and it feels clear and open.
   I love it that the experience was ultra pleasurable and I also feel lasting physical results afterward. I came in feeling good, I left feeling extraordinary!
   I also want to give you my 'point of reference' when I say you are outstanding. As you know, I travel almost continually.  I also spend a month out of the year at one of the world's premier fitness retreat lodges (Mountain Trek in British Columbia/hiking.com) where there are excellent massage therapists. I have been to Ten Thousand Waves in Santa Fe, NM which is on the hotlist for travelers in the know. Look at their website. Shawn, you and a MASTER level masseuse there, named Reno, are the two best massage people I've come across. That's a big statement considering the kajillion of massages I've had."   In the glow,  Deb Walsh
