Can you believe its September?
September always feels like a bit of a reset and this one feels especially meaningful.
This month marks 18 years of living in Seattle, 17 years of Max being at Columbia Distributing, 7 years of memberships, and somehow... Emma is turning 10! We had a great Summer, Emma even got to perform with the Seahawks Dancers (midfield, right on the eye of the seahawk)!! The kids start 2nd and 4th grade this week and I am ready to get into the fall groove. There is no better place to be than on a warm and cozy massage table this time of year! Bring on all things Fall!
Exciting announcements:
Lease Renewed Through 2027
My lease has officially been renewed through 2027, which means I'll be continuing to call Ballard home for at least another couple of years.
I'm incredibly grateful for the community that has made this little studio what it is. Your support, referrals, loyalty and trust over the years are the reason I get to keep doing what love.
September Gift Certificate Exchange
Have unused session credits sitting in your account? This month, you can exchange eligible unused credits for Physical Gift Certificates that will be valid through December 31, 2027. its a great way to turn a credit into a gift for someone else. If you'd like to participate, just reach out and I'll take care of the details with you.
Holiday Neck Wrap Preorder
Yes, I know its September... but the holidays are right around the corner. I'm opening up holiday neck wrap preorder for September only. As many of you have requested to purchase one of your own, I will be placing a bulk order in October. These make great gifts, alone or combined with a gift certificate. You can submit a pre-order request here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdV8qHhyo4yNJXl8MsPUAGg9jBlckY_BnIdYIZ-p5jvfYlLMA/viewform?usp=publish-editor) . Each wrap and cover is $55 and will be available for pick up in office.

Memberships + Packages Are Available
If you know you want to make massage and bodywork a regular part of your routine, this is a great time to lock in your plan for the final quarter of the year. Memberships are available here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTj8VQ0QKOzkBwBTfa3uY0bxVGQHLwdUQ7SL_SIZ6FEz9WxQ/viewform?usp=header) and packages are available here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUzeUp0gyuly9-qZpT967-ZHdpyJ_Y5bFHAN17aubjPjmS3A/viewform?usp=header) and I'm always happy to help you figure out which option makes the most sense for your goals. Consistency really does make a difference and October, November and December tend to disappear fast.
Lymphatic Drainage / Body Sculpting
Fall into your flow. Lymphatic massage can be a beautiful addition to your wellness routine supporting comfortable movement, relaxation, circulation of lymph fluid, and temporary relief from feelings of puffiness or heaviness. This is a great time of year to add a session to your routine.
Have you checked your insurance benefits?
You can request an itemized invoice for your massage appointments if you'd like to submit them to your insurance for reimbursement. At this point in the year, many people have already met some- or all- of their deductible. It may be worth checking your benefits to see whether your massage therapy is eligible for reimbursement. If you'd like an itemized invoice, just let me know.
More Fall Appointments By Request
I'm opening up some additional afternoon availability on Mondays and Wednesdays this fall by request. If my regular schedule hasn't had a time that works for you, reach out and let me know what you are looking for. I'll do my best to find something that works.
Plan Ahead
The final quarter of the year is always busy for everyone. Between holidays, travel, school schedules, family commitments and everything else that seems to pile up between October and December, appointments can fill quickly. Now is the time to plan your massages through the end of the year and get them on the schedule. Whether you need recovery, maintenance, lymphatic work, stress relief, or a simple hour (or two!) where nobody needs anything from you...
