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.
