August Updates

Hello Treasured You,

​I hope this finds you doing wonderfully well and enjoying your summer in the best way possible. I have a few things to share here so please take a quick look when you can.

I am incredibly thankful for you. This first month of being able to schedule appointments again has been so wonderful. Everyone has been great in understanding the new guidelines for practice within the best health and safety standards possible. Thank you to all of you for your ease in this transition.

To tip or not to tip 'tis the question. This has been a point of discussion in many recent sessions as I have turned off the tipping feature of my card reader. Many of you have requested it be turned back on. That blesses me more than you can imagine. Thank you for the outward act of love that you want to shower upon me. At this time however, I am choosing to keep it off for a couple of reasons:

• While I am not a diagnostic medical provider, what I do offer is therapeutic on many levels. Though you probably tip your hair dresser, barber, and esthetician; you do not tip your doctor, dentist, or physical therapist.
• In these financially different times, I don't want the act of tipping to be a struggle or point of pausing in receiving much needed body work.

Paying It Forward: As you can attest, massage therapy helps not only for sudden injuries but also helps to maintain quality of life levels in chronic every day care. There are times when I receive calls from someone who is in need of care but their financial situation threatens to make that care an impossibility. If you know me at all, you know I won't turn anyone away. I believe that quality massage care makes a difference and everyone deserves to experience that change. If you would like to partner with me in donating (any amount) towards the care of another, please let me know. It would not be a tax deductible giving, but I would make sure it helps provide massage for someone who would otherwise not benefit.

Reminder of September Rate Increase. This is my first ever increase and I do not plan on having another for quite a long time. As always, if this is a huge hardship, please let me know so we can discuss options available to you. Beginning September the new rates will be as follows:

​Scheduling: thank you for your understanding in contacting me right now for appointments. Eventually I will have the online scheduling feature turned back on. For now, you are welcome to contact me through any of these means to schedule an appointment:

• [email protected]
• 503.320.1650
• fb: @HealingTreasuresMassageTherapy

As always, I do all that I can to support your wellness journey. Please keep in mind that massage therapy is a support therapy and not a diagnostic service. If you have concerns regarding any signs or symptoms that your body is showing you, it is always wise and safe to check with your acting physician.
Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to take part in your wellness journey. Peace to you
