The Tranquility Times
The Month of August:
August is National Psoriasis Awareness Month.
Unfortunately, my clients who suffer from psoriasis are all too aware of it.
Psoriasis can be exacerbated by stress.
Here in the great state of
August is also National Goat Cheese Month.
An assortment of cool sliced cheeses sounds great in the heat of a
Celebrity birthdays this month: Neil Armstrong,
Lois Armstrong, Lyndon Johnson, Magic Johnson, Herman Melville, and Pee Wee
Herman.
Summer Supplemental Newsletter:
A special full-color supplement is available HERE as a PDF
file. 
New Scheduling Policy:
If you make your next appointment when we settle
up the bill, I’ll give you $10 off when you keep that appointment.
Regularly scheduled appointments make life much
easier for me, so I hope that $10 off will make life much easier for you too.
This offer is for appointments of 60 minutes or
more.
This offer is on a trial basis. If it works out,
and if it makes my clients happy, I will phase out some of the other discounts.
August
Specials:
August’s money-saving coupons are at Coupons.TranquilityTime.com. New
this month:
August Beat-the-Heat Week-End special! If you’ve wanted to try a massage in your
home, or even by your pool, now is your chance! The usual flat outcall charge
is $25, but for any week-end in August I will waive that charge. Imagine: the luxury of a house call for the
same price as an office visit. In-home massage is convenient for couples or a
wonderful end-of-the-day cure for insomnia.
And back by popular demand:
$20 Off Couple’s massage! You don’t have to be a
couple; just schedule two consecutive massages to save $10 on each, $20 total.
$15 Off on enrollment for September Massage
Classes. I will offer two massage
classes in September: Anatomy in Clay,
and Infant Massage. (More about all that below!)
$10 off for new clients. But none of you are new
clients, so you get $10 off if a new client drops your name. Tell ‘em to say “James sent me!” and I’ll make a note in your
file.
September Classes:
I am a
All of these courses are available as gift certificates.
There are no courses offered in August.
Couples
Massage will be offered again in October. The other two courses below will
be offered in September.
Infant Massage
September 26, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
4 CEU Credits
$60 for my clients
$70 for others
$90 for couples
This class is appropriate for and geared
to parents, grandparents, and other infant caregivers. Massage therapists can
receive CEU credits for the class as well.
Although it’s fun and rewarding to massage other people’s babies, the purpose
of this class is to teach parents how to bond with, communicate with, calm, and
soothe their own babies. The relationship between parent and baby is enhanced
and strengthened through the nurturing touch of infant massage. Parents often
find that their baby sleeps better, fusses less, and gains more weight, when
massaged regularly.
A baby’s world is all about touch, and this course is intended to help you
share your child’s world more effectively. It’s fun for you; it’s fun for your
baby!
Sorry! We will not be using real babies in this course, so leave your
little ones with grandma.
Anatomy in Clay 1: The Axial Skeleton
September 8, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
6 CEU Credits
$80.00 with $30 skeleton deposit
Anatomy
in Clay 2: The Appendicular Skeleton
September 9, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
6 CEU Credits
$80.00 with $30 skeleton deposit
These classes are appropriate for massage
therapists, artists, nurses, physical therapists, or anyone who wishes to brush
up on their anatomy.
We massage therapists are tactile people by nature. We like to touch. We learn
by touching. And we all know that trying to learn the muscles from a flat
two-dimensional textbook is a recipe for frustration with a side-order of
confusion. This class combines the joy and discovery of your kindergarten years
with a tactile, three-dimensional, highly technical learning experience. We will sculpt the major muscles in modeling
clay, attach them to an 18” plastic skeleton and by doing so, learn their
origins, insertions, actions, names, and more.
If you already know your anatomy, you’re sure to have at least a few epiphanies
and jaw-dropping moments. (“Oh! THAT’S
how it works!”) If anatomy is new to
you, this is surely the easiest and most fun way to learn it.
It is recommended that both classes be taken as a unit.
Video:
This video explains how to relieve migraine pain with pressure on a few points on your head. I don’t suffer from migraines, so I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of this treatment. If you have good results, please let me know.
This month I also offer this video of my son-in-law doing the referee dance. J He referees for my daughter’s roller derby team, and one day he realized that the referee hand signals make great dance moves. It’s good for a laugh… an even bigger laugh if you know what the signals mean. (My SIL is the cute one on the left.)
Thanks!
Thanks for being a loyal client. I hope to see you again soon.
Best wishes,
Jim
