Jan Newsletter – Thai Massage & Mani/Pedi coming soon!
Hello My Lovelies! My gracious let the good times roll! These first 2 weeks of 2018 have been ROCKIN'! Never a dull moment in entrepreneurship, and I've been hustling my tushie off this month! I had an office/supply room at Algonquin that was a waste of space - because let's face it, if I'm on-site, I'm going to be working with clients or staff, not looking at a stupid screen - so we decided [...]

#metoo A Massage Therapists Guide to Sexual Harassment
#MeToo - A Massage Therapist's Guide to Sexual Harassment "Do you do happy endings?" "Is this a full release massage?" "Your husband must be a lucky man!" "Who massages you?" "I really don't need this sheet." Sad but true, I actually wrote this piece about 10 years ago as part of a training manual for new hire massage therapists. The "inappropriate guest" memo. Why do I still have to address these things in 2017?? Unfortunately, [...]

That is why we're here. I know we exist [...]
