“Right now, Folks, This is the Plan”

Friday, March 27th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Greetings to those of you who have the good fortune of landing on my little site during the time that this blog entry is at the top. I know I could install one of those rotating post gadgets, but I don’t.

So I have not posted since October because I got writer’s block and I am starting a new blog and that blog will be the blog to represent me and my massage practice practice.

I think there’s an alchemy that happens when one switches intentions. Some people can turn around and switch up their website real quick… while others – they need to consider the options for the future of their blog. Which is to say I needed my brain to re-establish itself to the 2 new presentation method.

I intend to keep this journal and write in it regularly. Since I will not be linking it heavily as something I want to promote my massage practice with, I think I will, likely, post more often because I will be sharing my opinions and observations. Call it my free-form blog – where I get to care, a touch less about proper presentation and give more energy towards revolutionary ideas and unadulterated opinion.

I would like to change the way health care is done in this country and this world.

I think this blog would be a good foundation for conversations about that. The new site – which will be revealed “in 2 weeks” is going to be, as I wrote above, a more professional presentation-type marketing sleek blog.

I want to give useful content.

I want people to be interested in scanning it, reading it and commenting on it.

I would like to get great clients out of it. I do not think this site helps me get any clients at all.

This massagefreek.com site is like a house I built that is in a bit of disrepair because it no longer suits my current everyday requirements. It is, however, some real estate I plan to exploit as best as I can, in ways I had not in the past.

I think it would be a good forum to really let out some of my ideas and conflicts and conversations about the healing world and the practitioners I meet, know and work with.

There are so many similarities and differences. I think the world needs to know that we are very different breed of creature. I think we are often the un-peggable free spirits that raise the bar on normal standards. I think we inspire others more often than not.

I have this great idea for a Biznik event. “Have tea with some body dangerous.” I love the idea. I love the risk of it.

I will submit it soon.

I have been in a lay back spin and just starting to recover. I think I went deep within and found a newer more shinny me. I think all people saw of me for a while was a hole in the dirt – figuratively speaking, of course.

New plans, new ideas.

New people to share with. And monolithic posts. That god only knows who will read them. I hope there was some insight in the end.

I hope it gave you love for yourself and for humanity. I hope it was a super shot of “oh yeah, I like this chick and times are good”

I have illusions of grandiose nature.
I think we all do.
I think that’s why blogs are so popular.

I love blogging. It’s so… dangerous.

All Massage Therapists are Crazy

Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

I could write for hours about how massage therapists are totally bonkers.

I could go into why they are bonkers, how they start out not being bonkers, who they “go bonkers on” and why they HAVE to BE Bonkers in order to do the job they do…

But not right now. no no. Today… I’ll just start with this:

The most profound insight that goes along with the most beautiful to the most god-awful disgusting:

We see you. We see ourselves. We see lifestyle creating body. We see how balance and imbalance creates everything from disease and career “faluire” to wealth, security and enlightenment.

On a deeper and intimate level, Healer types see so much of the truth of who you are in one handshake… it’s almost scary.

But get this… isn’t the title “massage therapists are crazy”

Not only are we seeing you very clearly and deeply with all your beauty, bliss, strength, addictions and self-sabotage… we see - oh so clearly - our own as well.

Thats is why so many of us are so compassionate towards others.

We are just as crazy as our clients. And in our different lives, with our different priority structures; we heal ourselves while we are helping you to heal as well.

So put that cream in your coffee and stir it.

If you’ve been following my blog movements or career at all, you will know I’ve been in something of a business lul.

not that my skills and talents have suffered - it’s just the back end.

to make a long story short - I’ve been slacking on this blog.

I have posts in here that make me just want to scrap the whole thing and start fresh. Which I will be doing soon.

In update in my business news: i’ve been loving a biznik event hosted by Lisa Bradley for the last few months. I swear to god that woman has kept me from sliding off the deep end and moving to timbucktoo after a series of long naps caused by extreme procrastination. hey, never said I was perfect.

at any rate, it’s been my networking group of choice for a while. It’s quite good, I get to push my brain in to thinking of solving other people’s delemas with their business. I often offer insight to others that suprises even me - especially considering my own habits.

perhaps it’s one of those things where you’re just good at coming up with solutions to other’s problems but you can’s solve your own. OR like the accountant that can’t do her own books.

I have a million and one ideas for others businesses ANd my own business.

I have been thinking alot about marketing and sales and how to prospect and all that so i have lots of ideas to spout. But practical application - now that’s the other end of it all, isn’t it? I tend to think rather broad so getting the little tallied out tasks to be clear to me has been challenging.

nope, this site of mine is biting my ass. it makes me unhappy and I want to change it so bad. I’m thinking we need to upgrade and change the messages in my blog and spruce up my online presence.

I don’t think this website needs a facelift. oh no. this website needs a new website.

One other change - I’m proposing a sliding scale for those who want to try my massage work before committing to a series of treatments or for those that need the work but are kinda on the broke side.

what can I say? every one needs massage. I need to pay the rent on my office to it’s a mutually good deal, I think. We all win in healing. I am grateful to help others with the gifts I’ve been given in the field of massage and healing.

life is good

Looking for a subletter!

Saturday, April 26th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

The massage space is beautiful, it’s mostly purple and dark with nice lighting.
Deep tissue and injury treatment therapists are who I’m looking for. I would love to share my space with a female or male and my preference would be to have another female therapist sharing the space with me.

You’ll have to really really dig broadway street. It’s a bit on the boisterous side!
Translation: it’s very quiet for Broadway but it’s not super-duper quite like a nice secluded house. So if you’re noise sensitive - I wouldn’t suggest trying to work in the space for a long period of time.

Linens, oils, fridge, storage, water service hot and cold, music stuff and the internet are all available for you to use. Not having to do laundry rocks!

Communication that is open, honest, compassionate and effective are highly desired. Having your own clientele and source of client flow is a must. I will send lots of referrals but you must have a confident client base for yourself. Just as long as you pay the rent every month - I don’t care how many people you see.

I have a flat rate for rent - and to be honest - it makes me just slightly uncomfortable to publish that amount in the post so I’ll just say you’ll have to contact me and ask me directly if you want to know.

I would suggest phone over email. So there you go! Contact me if you feel moved to do so. I should also mention that I want a long-term commitment: at least 6 months. Whole days are available only: right now - if you want to start RIght NOw: Wednesdays and Sundays are up for grabs. Fridays and Saturdays will be up for grabs about a month out - depending on how far out I’ve got myself booked for those days. Mondays and Tuesdays are my favorite days - with Thrusday being a second favorite of mine.

I have been listening to some great conversations that Bill Harris - creator of Centerpointe and the holosync meditation products - created with individuals who are masters of “The Secret”
Bill is creating a collection of conversations with top-grossing gurus. The kick-off interview was with Joe Vitale - a guy with many good insights and rich ideas. › Continue reading
