Monthly Highlights

I do not mind being outdoors in wintertime, especially if I am ‘geared up’ for the weather. This past week was very cold here in Buffalo, but we did have a few glimpses of sunshine. I took advantage of a beautiful, cold, sunny day to go for a long walk, and on that walk I reflected on this past year at ‘Simply Massage’. This month of February marks the TWO-YEAR anniversary of ‘Simply Massage’, and what an incredible year it has been. As I was walking, I reflected not only about the year, but also the journey I began to become a LMT over 14 years ago. My decision to leave a full-time public school teaching job was risky, and I did not take it lightly. But all these years later, I can honestly say, it was the right decision for me. There have been many bumps, bruises, obstacles, and head-scratching experiences along the way, but once I ultimately made the decision to start ‘Simply Massage’ two years ago, all of the paths I have taken have lead me to this wonderful place in my career. Here is a brief recap of this past year:

~My client base has increased by +35% over the past year

~I have refined my menu to reflect on what most clients have asked/needed from me

~I have taken classes and become certified in more genres/skills in order to better help clients

~I was honored to be elected to the Executive Board of AMTA-NY (AMTA National recently celebrated 80 years, the American Massage Therapy Association is the most trusted name in massage therapy, is a non-profit and the largest association serving the massage profession, it provides for, encourages for, and advocates for LMTs and issues important to LMTs nationwide, to help educate and maintain the integrity of the profession)

~I have joined the faculty at SUNY Niagara in their Massage Therapy program, which, as a long time educator, brings me so much joy as I help to educate upcoming massage therapists on their journey to help people to optimize their health.

I am so excited to see what this next year brings!

To celebrate this wonderful milestone, every client will receive 10% off services this month*! Woot! Oh, and for those who want to bring the Yoga Balm (CBD) experience home, for this month only I will be retailing it for just $45.00 a jar! Stock up while it lasts!!!

I am so incredibly grateful to all of you for your continued trust in me for your massage, health, and wellness needs. I would be remiss to leave out my gratitude for my husband for his ongoing encouragement and support, as he has stood by my side, bolstered me, and championed me to keep pursuing this dream.

Year two has been amazing! I look forward to year three!

Thank you, everyone!
