Summer Supplemental Newsletter:
A special full-color Summer Supplement is still available HERE as a PDF
file.
New!
As fall approaches, some of us
old folks are getting achy joints. So far, I’ve resisted buying a hot
paraffin bath because of some sanitation concerns. But now I can offer the
next best thing: electric warming mittens, suitable for hands or feet. They
are wonderful for arthritis or plain old cold feet. Ask for them! It’s
another free service.
Yes, It’s Free, but…
I always offer my clients a
crock-pot full of hot stones and hot towels… but during these hot summer
months that freebie has been “on request” only. Ask for it before you arrive
and I’ll have the crock-pot hot for you.
My Client Loyalty Program: 6 Ways to Save
Now you can afford regular massage on your busy
schedule. There are six money-saving methods from which to choose. Pick the
plan that is most convenient to your lifestyle, and start saving money on
your massages!
 Regularly
Scheduled Appointments
These are the simplest, easiest ways to save.
¨
Exit Appointments
If you make another appointment before you
leave my office, you'll get $10 off the regular price when you KEEP
that appointment.
¨
Standing Appointments
Set up regular weekly or biweekly appointments
on a certain day and time, and I'll reserve that time slot for you
permanently. You can look forward to getting your massage on the same day of
the week, at the same time of day, every week or two, and you will
automatically receive a $10 discount every time. What could be easier
than that?
 Advance
Purchases
If your schedule is chaotic, it may not be
possible to keep to a regular schedule. In that case, I suggest one of my
prepayment plans:
¨ Buy 5 get 10% off
¨ Buy 10 get 15% off
I'll give you a card to keep track of your
account. We'll punch a hole for each massage on the card. If you lose the
card, no worries! It's all on my computer too.
Prices vary depending on whether you want 60, 90, or 120 minute massages
and whether you want incall or outcall (office or house call).
 Buy
7, Get 1 FREE Card
If you have an unpredictable schedule and you
can't afford to pre-pay, pick up one of these discount cards at your next
appointment. When your card has seven punches (7 massages at
full price), you get a free massage! The free massage will be the
length and quality of your usual massage: in other words, I will not skimp
just because it's free.
Coupons
 If
none of these plans work for you, there are always coupons. As subscribers to
this newsletter, you get to see the new coupons first!
Coupons cannot be used with the other discounts
above.
 Referrals
For each referral you get $10 off. Apply
this discount whenever you pay for a massage or an advance purchase card.
Referrals are the best compliment you can give me, so referral discounts are
added on top of other discounts.
 Tell
your friends to drop your name when they come in, so you can get the
discount.
Your Email
 I
routinely send my regular clients massage gift certificates for birthdays
and the holidays. Make sure your correct email address is in my file to
receive these gifts.
What? You
Don't NEED the Discount?
Consider donating your discount to the North Texas Food Bank. This is a
lean, efficient organization that directly helps the people in need, right
here in North Texas.
You can also donate to the Tranquility Time
"Hand to Mouth" virtual food drive at any time by clicking the
button below:
 Or
go to http://vad.aidmatrix.org/vadxml.cfm?driveid=3373
Your receipt will come in the mail. If you'd
rather donate anonymously, I can donate it for you.
Make your donation at home or in my office. We'll
use the same donation web page either way.
Welcome
to the 21st Century
Times are tough these days, so I want to make it
as easy as possible for you to get the regular massages these tough times
require. Call 214-395-8000 for your appointment today... and don't
forget to check the coupons!
September Coupons:
September’s money-saving coupons are at Coupons.TranquilityTime.com.
New this month:
9/11 Remembrance: In honor of the innocents who lost their lives on
that day, and the heroes who tried to save them. $10 off all month for
firefighters, police, and rescue workers -- our everyday heroes.
And back by popular demand:
· $20
Off Couple’s massage! You don’t have to be a couple; just schedule two
consecutive massages to save $10 on each, $20 total.
· $15
Off on enrollment for September Massage Classes. I will offer two
massage classes in September: Anatomy in Clay, and Infant Massage. (More
about all that below!)
· $10
off for new clients. But none of you are new clients, so you get $10 off if a
new client drops your name. Tell ‘em to say “Carolyn sent me!” and I’ll make
a note in your file.
Classes:
I am a Texas
pre-approved continuing education provider. (License numbers MI2067 and
CE1293.) Licensed massage therapists may take these courses for CEU credits.
However, these courses are also appropriate for those outside the massage
field.
All of these courses are available as gift certificates.
Massage for Couples
 Thursday,
October 15, 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm
No CEU Credits
$150.00 per couple
Space is limited to 3 couples so
I require a
$25 deposit. It is refundable if you cancel at least 24 hours before class.
A waiting list is available.
GLBT friendly
Chocolate will be provided
This course is intended to teach couples how to give a safe, relaxing,
pleasant amateur massage. It will not qualify you to be a massage
therapist, and CEU credits are not offered since a licensed massage therapist
would not need this course.
Massaging your partner can be a warm, sensuous, romantic way to foster
intimacy through loving touch. This course will be a fun, unique afternoon
with your mate, learning how to give each other a safe, relaxing massage. Is
there a better way to spend a summer evening than by touching your
mate?
Sheets, tables, and oil will be
provided. There will be light refreshments. I will try to make sure
each couple has their own massage room so that modesty will not be an issue;
but just in case we have to put two tables in one room, it would be best to
bring swim suits or underwear that you don’t mind getting a little oil on.
The doors to those massage rooms will be open, and I’ll be offering guidance
to each couple in turn while you are practicing, so you will need to use a
drape (top sheet) for the class.
Obvious things I have to say
anyway: Sorry, but we will not be discussing sexual techniques; if
you can’t figure those out on your own, I’ll tell you where to buy the
videos. J
 Infant
Massage
Saturday, September 26, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
4 CEU Credits
$60 for my clients
$70 for others
$90 for couples
This class is appropriate for and geared to parents, grandparents, and
other infant caregivers. Massage therapists can receive CEU credits for the
class as well.
Although it’s fun and rewarding to massage other people’s babies, the purpose
of this class is to teach parents how to bond with, communicate with, calm,
and soothe their own babies. The relationship between parent and baby is
enhanced and strengthened through the nurturing touch of infant massage.
Parents often find that their baby sleeps better, fusses less, and gains more
weight, when massaged regularly.
A baby’s world is all about touch, and this course is intended to help you
share your child’s world more effectively. It’s fun for you; it’s fun for
your baby!
Sorry! We will not be using real babies in this
course, so leave your little ones with grandma.
 Anatomy
in Clay 1: The Axial Skeleton
Tues., Oct. 20, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (Note change of
date)
6 CEU Credits
$80.00 with $30 skeleton deposit
Anatomy
in Clay 2: The Appendicular Skeleton
Wed., Oct. 21, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (Note change of
date)
6 CEU Credits
$80.00 with $30 skeleton deposit
These classes are appropriate for massage therapists, artists, nurses,
physical therapists, or anyone who wishes to brush up on their anatomy.
We massage therapists are tactile people by nature. We like to touch. We
learn by touching. And we all know that trying to learn the muscles from a
flat two-dimensional textbook is a recipe for frustration with a side-order
of confusion. This class combines the joy and discovery of your kindergarten
years with a tactile, three-dimensional, highly technical learning
experience. We will sculpt the major muscles in modeling clay, attach
them to an 18” plastic skeleton and by doing so, learn their origins,
insertions, actions, names, and more.
If you already know your anatomy, you’re sure to have at least a few
epiphanies and jaw-dropping moments. (“Oh! THAT’S how it
works!”) If anatomy is new to you, this is surely the easiest and
most fun way to learn it.
It is recommended that both classes be taken as a unit.
Thanks!
Thanks for being a loyal
client. I hope to see you again soon.
Best wishes,
Jim
