Elaine's Therapeutic and Rehabilitation Massage

When your teen has trouble sleeping so they ask for an ear seed treatment to help them rest, and she sleeps like a baby sleep 😴 💤 We've also used them to help with her anxiety and stress. Focus. A variety of things to help her with school.

Ear seeds use acupressure points of the ear to address ailments of the body. There are no needles involved, so we place the seeds, and you are on your way! Takes 5-10 mins tops.

Some clients feel the effects instantly, especially as we're going through and palpating around the ear for the best placement, and some feel the effects hours later.

You can get a jeweled set for $30 (like above) or $20 for a gold or sterling silver seed set. All seeds are hypoallergenic to help ensure client safety.

Happy One Year Anniversary to me! I have been at for one year, and it has flown by.

Moving to his location took a lot of faith, especially because I'd be paying nearly 2.5 times more in rent than in my previous location. But it just felt right, and I went with the attitude of "if you build it, they will come." And boy, did people come! From referrals to people finding me on IG. My clientele has more than doubled since being here 💗

And even though I've been doing this for nearly 15 years (in February), I feel this last year I really learned how to market better (always learning), focus on building my ideal clientele, and being intentional with business decisions. All of this helps me get closer to the future I want for my business and my personal life.

I also want to be sure to thank YOU for trusting me with your care. I know without you, I wouldn't have anything to celebrate.

Here's to another fantastic year!

New dates and times this month for firefighters working hard to combat the Park Fire. Please share!

Did you miss coming in for your session in July? Then lucky for you, a new month is around the corner! There have been some changes to my schedule next week, so I will have more openings.

Send me a message if you're interested so we can get you scheduled.

Do you know a firefighter who is helping fight the Park Fire? I want to help them! This week, I am offering 20-30 mins massage/stretch sessions to these brave firefighters.

Please have them reach out to me so we can arrange this service for them (I am also working with some local contacts to get something bigger in place).

Let's take care of those taking care of our city!

Happy 4th of July.

Thank you to all the men and women who have fought to protect my rights and freedoms.

Be safe in your celebrations today.

New month means new availability 🙌

Be sure to schedule your massage to help you recover from a weekend of camping or after a day of water skiing. Massage can definitely help take away your pains or discomfort.

I have a few more openings before I head out of town. Message me now so we can get your appointment scheduled.

Prepping for a TMJ session.

After I work on the client while prone (face down), giving attention to the muscles that align and support with the jaw. . .yes, it's more than neck and shoulder. . .I'll have them flip over, and I'll use hand sanitizer before I apply the remedy rehab oil (from ) to work the outer muscles of the jaw and then I slip on the gloves to do some inter-oral work.

Clients find it a little uncomfortable but feel the work is totally worth it as they leave having less pain and discomfort.

The TMJ Disorder Treatment Protocol is guaranteed to help those with tmj discomfort. Message me if you're interested in committing to multiple sessions to help address your pain and discomfort.

Today was a good day.

Shopping with my girl for our trip.

Spending more time at the creek than originally planned, where I was actually able to start a book by my favorite author.

And finishing the day with a movie.

Creating memories ❤️

The last thing I do in getting my room ready is start the music.

Typically, I choose a station that has nice relaxing music or spa type music because what kind of music would you expect coming in for a massage? But I also know that type of music is not everyone's jam, especially when it comes to relaxing.

FUN FACT: When I need to calm my body and clear my head, I love to blast Linkin Park. Yes, even sometimes while driving to work 😆 Definitely not the soothing tunes I mentioned above. . .haha.

So, if you need some other music to help you relax (or even a podcast), let me know, and I'd be happy to make that adjustment for you.

🎶🎵 These are a few of my favorite things 🎵🎶

Some of my favorite products to use during my sessions.

1) massage cremes. I prefer creme of lotion because I feel it gives a better glide for the slow, deep work that I do. A little bit goes a long way;

2) Remedy Rehab Oil. This is for my TMJD clients as I'm massaging their face to help break up tension and adhesions. Clients love it because it smells so good. Really need to buy one to keep at home 😆;

3) essential oils. Perfect for the client who wants a little more for their session. This is a great add-on service because you get a mixed bottle of creme and your favorite EO to take home; and finally

4) nasal diffusers. Clients love to add these to their session to help them breathe better while face down in the face cradle. They're even great to wear daily while out running errands. I love to wear Immunity during cold and flu season.

If you've tried one of the add-ons during your session, which one have you liked?

Entrepreneur Mom life is. . .

Blocking off your first hour of work after a cancelation to run some end of school year errands only to remember it's skate/wheel party day at your son's school so you know have to run home to grab his bike (that needs to be rinsed real quick due to sitting out under a tarp) load it up and return back to school 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

So glad school is almost done.

Day 2 of Adventure Week with my little dude.

Grateful I'm able to adjust my schedule so I can go on field trips with him. I also so appreciate patience and understanding from you.

When I informed clients in person, with an almost apologetic tone, that I was adjusting my schedule to spend time with my kids this summer, I was told, "Don't apologize. Family first."

Thank you for always supporting my business and the adjustments I make to have a work/life balance.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gotta love Wednesday.

Taking a little time out for me while reaping the benefits of pain relief, regulating my mood, improved sleep, decreasing inflammation, improved mood. . .oh yeah!

Want to give the infrared sauna a try? Send me a message, and let's schedule you for a combo massage and sauna session. Guarantee you will have the best sleep ever!

When your client's husband buys them a gift certificate for a 2 hr aromatherapy session, and they finally redeem it 💗💗💗

Did you know you can add aromatherapy to any session for $10? And you take home the mixed bottle of lotion and essential oil at the end of your session??? Very nice, if I do say so myself 😉

I don't do a lot of aromatherapy sessions, but they're always a great change of pace when they happen.

Mother's Day.

Graduation.

Father's Day.

Just because 😉

Now is a great time to purchase a gift certificate.

Send me a message so you can purchase a gift certificate for your loved one.

WHAAT DOES TI IT MEAN TO WHAT DOES IT MEAN

Pineapple hair and red in the face can only mean one thing. . .sauna day! The last couple of months, I was trying to make it fit in where I could, and it just wasn't working out. This month, I'm making my appointments with the sauna a PRIORITY. Why? Because I matter 💗

I've noticed I have more energy and am more clear-headed after my session. As a busy business woman and family coordinator, those are two really important things for me. Plus, it's a great way for me to sneak in a nap 😉🙃

When scheduling clients for their massage appointments, I have to sometimes tell them "schedule your appointment first and then schedule everything else around it." You, my friend, are important enough to prioritize yourself.

It's not selfish.

It's not greedy.

It's not self-centered.

It's recognizing that you are important enough to take a moment to not focus on anything, breathe, and just be. No deadlines. No text messages. Just you.

If you've been coming up with a million reasons to NOT schedule your massage, take this on your sign to schedule your appointment NOW.

You're worth it, my friend 💗

.brandings making my branding dreams come true ❤️

This will be the perfect accessory to wear while I'm out and about running errands or even at events that I do.

A goal I had for myself this year was to eat breakfast every day. During the week, it's usually something small. On the weekends, I tend to go a little bigger 😊

What's on your breakfast menu today?

Suffering from a cough that doesn't seem to want to go away. Thankfully, it's not as bad as it was, but it's still annoying.

Ear Seeds to the rescue!

At my event over the weekend, someone asked if they were to buy ear seeds, could they place the seeds themselves. And while the answer is yes, it's difficult to do.

I placed these myself, and while I got a couple of them in optimal placement, looking at my picture, I'd love to take out the rest and replace them. Being sure to use all the indicators I look for when placing them in a client's ear.

FACT: ear seeds are not just haphazardly placed. There is a science behind them. Looking for indicators in the ear that the areas of the body are in dis-ease.

Looking for a quick treatment to help with different ailments of the body? Then ear seeds are for you! Takes 5-10 mins to place for each specific protocol.

If you are interested in trying them out, send me a message.

Auricular Therapy is a treatment that aids in normalizing the body's dysfunction by stimulating certain points of the ear using small beads called ear seeds.

Ear Seeds, regular or jeweled (as shown), stimulate pressure points of the ear to address ailments of the body.

Clients that have had ear seeds placed notice a positive change in how they feel and come back for more treatments. The best thing? Appointments take about 10 mins per protocol.

After a day of massaging, I will often take a seat to pause and reflect.

Sometimes, I feel completely exhausted and don't want to move, but more often than not, I feel grateful.

Grateful that I get to do what I do.

Grateful for my clients and their trust in me.

Grateful for the space that I get to call (work) home.

Grateful for the life I have and the life I'm creating.

The goals I have for my business this year will take a lot of work. Like, A LOT. But I know I can make it. I just have to continue forward with a grateful heart and keep putting in the work, even on those days that I don't want to work. ESPECIALLY on those days I don't want to work.

Put the work in my friend and make those dreams come true.

Soccer season AND Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us. Nothing if too effected during the week, but Saturdays will be a little chaotic the next couple of months.

Don't miss your chance to be seen and send me a message.

Eat lunch ✅️

Turning out to be a very productive day!

What's on your agenda today?

Rainy and slow day (intentionally scheduled clients this way) means I take care of some behind the scenes office stuff. . .you know, the fun stuff 😉

Soccer season is starting soon, which means there will be some slight changes to my schedule. I'll have more info in a couple of weeks. For now, be sure to schedule your appointments so you aren't affected by the schedule change.

This is something one of my clients, who does powerlifting, shared. Can I tell you how dang proud I am of this?!

First, they recognize the importance massage plays in their recovery and their ability to perform as an athlete. So much so that they list me as part of their team ❤️ and second, this is what I wanted when I started my career nearly 14 years ago. To help seasoned athletes take care of their bodies.

Every client has their own personalized session, tailored to their needs. And with my athletes, it's even more personalized. Adding more active release techniques to their sessions to bring their bodies back to homeostasis.

If you're training for a specific event, you need a massage therapist. Let me be a part of your team.

Nearing the 14-year mark of being a massage therapist, and I still enjoy it as much as I did when I first started.

I love helping my clients be intuned to their bodies, improve their range of motion, decrease their pain or discomfort, and help them feel better.

No client is the same.

No body is the same.

Every day and every client is a new set of challenges that I'm ready to tackle.

I'm grateful for everything I've learned in my years of being a massage therapist and can't wait to learn and grow more in the years to come.

You can win this fabulous gift basket by stopping by tomorrow December 2nd, between 12-3, for our spa preview.

If you pay for a service or purchase any retail item, you can receive another entry into the raffle.

So, tell them family you're going holiday shopping and come stop by for some YOU time.
