A quick heads-up to all, as is my annual practice I review the market for massage in the area and my prices, and it's time to raise them again.  As of January 1st the regular price for a 1-hour massage paid at time of service will be $100. The membership discount will remain the same amount so those with a Samurai membership (or Ronin package) will pay $85 per 1-hour massage.

In more exciting news, due to some back-end software changes in the handling of patient accounts, if you have credits for a massage on your account from your membership or package, you will now be able to share those credits with your spouse, partner, family member, friend, colleague, or random acquaintance! Simply let me know prior to your loved one's visit that you'd like to use one of your account credits to pay for their massage, and you can effortlessly share the gift of massage across patient accounts. (I have to hear from the account holder GIVING the credit, because while I'd love to be able to take your mother-in-law's word that you'll be paying for her massage I don't want to get in the middle of any uncomfortable household rivalries).

I've upgraded my clinic management suite and will be letting you all know about changes that affect you as I roll them out.  First up: text message reminders!  E-mail confirmations have always been sent immediately after booking an appointment, and reminders for appointments have always been sent out 1 week prior and 1 day prior to appointments.  If you haven't been receiving them, please let me know!  It's usually because there is a typo in your email address on file.

Starting now, you have the option to receive reminders by SMS/text message instead of by email! Just let me know (by text or email, or the next time you see me!) that you prefer text message reminders and I will switch your reminder preference in your client file. You can also select either text or email reminders when you book a new appointment.
