Feeling Great!

Thank you for everyone who waited patiently for me to recover from my gall bladder surgery on October 30th. I was released to go back to work November 28th and have finished almost all the Groupons. Work has been busy this past month! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Just call me, text me or email. I will be out Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

Great news! I will be working every Saturday during January! I hope to see you then.

It's Labor Day weekend!

Hi everyone, and I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend! Do you have any special plans or activities you are doing? I am looking forward to spending more time with my iPad, my husband and our animals.

In personal news, I have added a new program to my iPad, My Fitness Pal. If you want to be a friend of mine on there, just send me an email (or comment) with the email you use for the program and we can be buddies! It has the added benefits of better calorie counts and keeping track of measurements than Lose It does.

Many of you may be aware that I do massage for cancer patients, working with CARTI (Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute at www.carti.com). It is a moving experience to help these folks relax while going through their treatments (they are given 2 free thirty minute massages during treatments).

I have a busy week coming up, but still have some room for more appointments if you want to call in or email. Remember, I will be off Saturday-Monday(for the holiday) and Wednesday, but I have times almost every other day.

Three more pounds!

Well, I've hit the magic number of 20lbs. lost! Only 77 more to go! I know it seems dramatic to want to lose so much weight, but that's where it is.

I got my iPad 3 and it's so much fun to work on! The only problem is my client profile program seems to have a few kinks. I'm sure it'll work out eventually.

It's been a slow work week, so I invite you to schedule now! The only full day I have is Thursday, the 30th of September.

Welcome!

This is my new blog, about all things having to do with Medical Massage and Deep Relaxation. I've been in business since October 2003. In my almost 9 years of practice, I've seen a lot of people and done a lot of things (events, classes, techniques).

Recently, I ran a Groupon (in May 2012). It was for a 4 month run, ending September 26, 2012. I've seen 87 of the 189 that bought my Groupon thus far and it has been a really good experience for me. Although I don't get much money per massage, I've been able to treat a number of wonderful new people. Only those I could count on one hand have been difficult for me. I'm not sure about running another deal with them, time will tell if I get slow enough at some point to need the extra work. If I will, it will probably be next summer when teachers are out of their classrooms and people have some extra time.

Tech news: my massage customer notating and tracking software has been edited to work on ipads! Guess what I'm getting in 5 days! I can't wait!

In personal news: I've started a free weight loss program on my iphone, called LoseIt. It tracks what you eat, the calories it intakes, and subtracts your exercise. So far, I've lost 17 pounds in 7 weeks. And I feel great, exercising again really takes the edge off and makes me feel good. Regeneration Fitness, where I work, has a great gym that I use to ride the recumbent bike and work on those hard-to-tone muscles like the back of the arms. If you haven't talked to Kathleen Rea lately (she's the owner), you can get a fitness consultation like I did and she will work out a fitness plan for you. Go to www.regenerationfitnessar.com and they will take care of you.
