Thanks to All of You

As I prepare to move to Santa Fe, I want to thank everybody who has helped make my business here in Austin a success . Not wanting to leave anybody without access to the bodywork they need, I have come up with the following list of therapists who I feel really good about recommending:

Rachel Ferguson is a wonderful therapist who works outcalls pretty much all over town. Her number is 512-789-3522.

Deborah Ramaker lives just down the street from me and has offered to provide services to those of you who have been in my massage club at similar prices. Her number is 512-758-9886.

I have worked with Colleen Fisher at the Driskill Hotel for a couple of years. She is a great therapist and a delightful human being. You can reach her at 970-376-3817.


I have also worked with Echo Bond at the Driskill for a number of years. She has a very warm and soothing energy about her. She can be contacted at 203-ECHO or through her website http://massagegarden.com/.


For those of you who have been microcurrent clients, I recommend Lauren Jordan. Call her at 512-743-7234 or visit her website http://www.pmubylauren.com/.


I hope this information is helpful. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance

Touch of the Hills

The wind is up and the hawks are screaming. It must be March. When we moved into this house two years ago this month, one of the first things I saw was a redtail circling about a foot over the top of the house with prey in his beak. He flew to a live oak in the neighbor's yard where he was joined by his mate, the biggest hawk I have ever seen. We soon realized that they were raiding squirrel nests that had been left exposed when the live oaks lost their leaves. A day or two ago, I took Lani for a walk through the neighborhood. At one point, we heard the hawks calling to each other at close range. I looked up and saw the female light on a utility pole. She called out to the male who swooped in and mounted her. I stood still and watched the birdie porn, totally amazed at what I was seeing.

Hawks are messengers and visionaries as totums. I always try to be vigilant regarding things I see and hear after I see one. I choose to believe that observing a pair of hawks in such an act of creation is an omen of good things to come, possibly the fruition of a long held desire. I am sharing this with you along with the hope that you will have your most cherished wish fulfilled soon.

The Magic Time Machine

That's What I'm Calling It

I have been working with the microcurrent machine for a couple of months now and I am extremely pleased with the results that I am getting. I hope to be able to publish before and after photos soon. It is doing some things that I that I had no idea that it would do. In addition to using it on faces to minimize lines and firm up the skin (think about under your chin), I have been using it on my abdomen and legs. My goal was to firm up the muscles just under the skin and to lose a little unwanted girth. I am happy to report that I just bought a pair of jeans in a smaller size than I wore 2 months ago. What has been really surprising, though, is the effect it has had on the very old scar tissue on my stomach and on the spider veins on my legs. The scar tissue has become much smaller and lighter. There are some places where it is no longer visible. The same goes for some of the spider veins. Email me if you want more information about the microcurrent treatments.
The price charged for this treatment by most spas in town is $500 for 6 treatments. Twelve treatments are recommended for maximum effect. Since I work in a home studio and keep my overhead low, I am able to offer a better rate. My introductory rates are $400 for your first six treatments. However, if you pay for all twelve treatments up front, the price will be $750. I will be happy to do a smaller number of treatments. Contact me if you want to work something out.

Massage Club Continues

I am continuing the massage club as long as people are interested. It works like this: You buy a one hour session with me at my regular rate of $60. At that time, you also schedule at least 3 additional sessions. These sessions will be priced at $45. Thereafter, as long as you keep at least 2 sessions booked at all times, you will get your sessions at the $45 rate. I do have some requirements as to cancellations and rescheduling that I will tell you about when you book the sessions. I am discontinuing the discounted gift certificates for the time being. The response was so great that I need time to catch up on the sessions before I sell any more massages at that rate.

Touch of the Hills
Newsletter January 3,2009

I hope you are as excited about the coming year as I am. I am overflowing with positive thoughts about our future. I could just as easily listen to all the hipe about how bad things are and how hard things are going to be, but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? I'd much rather create a situation in which we all have what we need to enjoy life. I do that by choosing to think about things in the best way possible. I have some help doing that and you can read about some of it in the last paragraph.

Prosperity Partnership

I want to share something that has made a big difference in my life over the past year. In November 2008, I joined the Prosperity Partnership .I have really turned my outlook, and more importantly my inlook, around with this program. Elyse Hope Killoran really helps put things in perspective and makes sense out of all of the Law of Attraction talk that we have been hearing about for the past few years. She also has a sight called the Prosperity Portal that is worth checking out. There are a lot off free activities on both sites and I strongly encourage you to do on! e of her almost free trials. I think that the next one starts on January 18. Please list me as your referral source.
