New Services

We are excited to announce the addition of 2 new services - tandem massage (also sometimes known as "Four Hand Massage") and something very unique we call a "50/50 Massage"!

The tandem massage utilizes 2 therapists, each working on the client simultaneously. You can request they mirror their movements (for example, they each massage your back, one on each side) or they can work in different, but complimentary areas (one might be massaging your head and neck while the other is working on your feet). Either way, you receive twice the massage is half the time! Choose from either 30 or 60 minutes (actually giving you 60 or 120 minutes worth of traditional massage time!).

Our other new service we like to call "50/50 Massage". One therapist works on you for 50 minutes, then a second therapist seamlessly transitions in and works another 50 minutes, giving you a total of 100 minutes. You can choose 2 different types of massage (Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, relaxing vs. therapeutic, etc) or just be able to benefit from 2 different therapists with varying techniques and styles. Choice is yours!

Both of these new services are available now and can be booked by calling our store, or as always, by visiting our website and booking online. Gift certificates are also available for these and any other service we offer.

In addition to being a massage therapist, she is also a licensed psychiatric technician, working at a local Grand Junction facility.

Anli says "I feel I am always learning and as a massage therapist, the continuing education courses I take give me the opportunity to learn other modalities that use in my session. I feel strongly drawn to energy work, which I incorporate into my sessions. I love doing massage because I act as a conduit in helping a body heal itself. I am at my happiest being that."

On Site / Employee Chair Massage

Now more than ever, stress is a major factor in most people's lives. It can be caused by work (or being unemployed), finances, children, marriage problems, and much, much more.

Stress is a contributing factor in up to 75% of doctor's visits. Keeping stress levels to a minimum allows everyone to be more productive, healthier and generally happier.

But how does stress affect employees at work? Whether most of us will admit it, many people carry their stress and let it affect other aspects of their life. Employee stress affects employers each and every day and can potentially have severe consequences.

Employee stress can lead to: absenteeism/sick days, accidents & worker's comp claims, errors in judgment, poor customer service, conflict with other employees, reduced productivity, decreased morale, and much more! Each of these can have a dramatic and costly effect on a business if left unaddressed.

So, what can you do? Recognize that stress is a factor is many of your employees' lives and provide them an outlet of relieving some of their stress on a regular basis.

On-site chair massage is a great way of accomplishing just that. We send 1 or 2 highly trained massage therapists to your office with portable massage chairs. We ask that you provide us a conference room, empty office, break room, or some place away from their normal work areas, if possible. Employees, if they desire, will receive a 5-20 minute seated, chair massage, while remaining fully clothed. The therapist will focus on the employee's neck, shoulders and back, but as necessary, other areas such as arms, hands and legs can also be worked.

We offer 2 options for payment. The preferred method is the employer pays an hourly rate for each therapist, and employees sign up ahead of time. More employees tend to take advantage of the massage when their employer is paying for it, but it is also advantageous to the employer to have as many employees as possible de-stress.

The other option is to have each employee pay for their own massage. This method is not as preferable because we usually see less participation from the employees, but we still see many take charge of their wellness and take advantage of the massage.

The frequency we come to your office is up to you. Maybe you want once a week, every other week, or even once a month. Sometimes the frequency is determined by the size of your staff. If we can't accommodate everyone each time, then have us come more often so we each employee is able to participate and no one is left out. If your business is seasonal, we can alter our visits to you accordingly.

In these economic times, everyone is watching their bottom line, and we fully understand that. But please remember, healthy, productive, loyal employees are a very profitable asset to your company. Can you afford to not take care of them?
