--  January News and Offers   --

Off we venture into the new year and may I wish you a peaceful, happy, healthy and abundant one. 

The latest edition of the annually published MOSAIC magazine is out now http://www.mosaic-lifestyle.com and is well worth a look.  

     

Please note from January 1st 2012 the price for the two hour full body session will be £70 and for the back neck and shoulder massage £45.There is good news too though..... if you've been having sessions with me

for over two years, or bring along one of my leaflets with the old prices, the price increasewon't apply for the following four months...hurrah!

 

Choose from the following, or call for more information to select your ideal massage session.
 
*Bodywork/Deep Tissue*
- a great session aimed at working out those 'knots', easing and freeing tight muscles,he
yet leaving you feeling wonderfully relaxed. Slow, deep strokes mean deeper muscles can be targeted. 
 
 *Swedish*
- light, soothing and uplifing. The oil or cream used enhances the flow of the long, stroking movements.
 

*Remedial / Sports Injury*

-  for more specific problem areas including old & recent injuries, strains, tight leg muscles,

shoulder, neck and back discomfort, combined with stretches & muscle tension release techniques

to help relieve discomfort and improve joint mobility.

 

*Thai*

- Northern Thai style performed over loose clothing and based on balancing

the 'Sensib' (Thai for the ten main pairs of energy lines believed to run throughout the body).

Using thumbs and hands, rhythmic acupressure is applied along the lines.

The Thai view is that this is to clear possible energy blocks, harmonising mind, body and spirit.

Clients having seated neck and shoulder treatments state that these are

very good for relieving tension headaches often saying they can feel the tension melting away.


*Company On-site*

- On-Site came to England in the late 80's after much success in Silicon Valley.

Received in the workplace in a specially designed chair provided by the therapist, this acupressure session

 is given over clothing so no oils are used.

 Often promoting a sense of well being and centering it has been described as an instant stress buster.

A real tonifier and treat for neck, shoulders, arms and back, it is ideal for monthly sessions in Companies,

for Well-Being Days, Conferences,Teachers and Hospital Staff. Feedback comments have been

 "What did you do to do him? He was so stressed before and came back like a different person."

"This chair is so comfortable, it's relaxing in itself."

  "I never would have realised that there was so much tension in my arms"  and

"Every day should include this."

 

Serenity Works now also offers relaxing REIKI sessions 

 

A few Q & A's

Can I book today?
As much notice as possible means more chance of the session time you'd prefer,
but if you'd like an appointment today it's always worth calling to check if there's a free space.


What should I wear?
Best to wear loose style comfortable clothing.
Consideration for modesty and comfort means that only the areas being worked on are left undraped.


How do I know which session to choose?
There's a brief description of the different massage styles above and when you call to book there's another opportunity
to see what might suit you best.


What if I can't make the session I've booked?
Please call (with ideally 48 hours notice) to let me know if you are unable to make your appointment.
It may be possible to re-schedule your session, or allocate it to someone else who had wanted an appointment.
Two consecutive missed appointments, without prior notification, will incur a missed session charge.


Why do people book massage sessions with you Elaine?
The most common reasons seem to be
-
discomfort from neck, shoulder and back muscles; pain and stress which they have
decided to do something about.
- people find the website, try a session and find it helps,
- they feel improvement in the way their body feels and opt for maintenance sessions
- they see that it's good value for money and it's enjoyable
- it's adaptable eg relaxing or invigorating; deep tissue or more gentle pressure and in a relaxing environment
- they have been recommended - then recommend others and receive discount on their next session
- they've received a gift voucher from a friend, relative or loved one
....and because of feedback they've been kind enough to let me share in some of the Client Testimonials below ....

Client Testimonials
" Elaine is a very professional and dedicated masseuse.
 She has excellent anatomy knowledge and has helped me tremendously as I suffer with ME.
 I would recommend her highly to anyone with a chronic problem or just for a relaxing massage.
 She is a fantastic friendly lady.
" 
Peter - Birmingham

"Elaine is a brilliant masseuse and very professional. I have visited her several times now.
I have had a few different treatments which mainly include Thai head massage and
neck and shoulder massage.
I find the treatments and location very relaxing and highly recommend her to anyone.
Fantastic!" -
Stella - Coventry

"Elaine is a fantastic masseuse. I have been to a good few different masseuses and
Elaine is among the best, really working the massage deep which I like.
She also pays much attention to detail all around ie. body position, room temperature etc
and apart from a grade A professional Elaine is a lovely lady too.
Recommended :)"
Lee - Shirley, West Mids


I have had other massages but especially liked that Elaine took the time and trouble to concentrate on

where the pain was and to use different techniques and body positions to those I've experienced before.

I would certainly recommend others to go.

Dee -  Oldbury


"So lovely to be treated with so much respect that one leaves feeling that one has been

perceived as not merely a selection of muscles to be worked on but as a whole person.

The sense of peace and relaxation isn't replicated anywhere else in life."

Jenny - Solihull


"Heaven" 
Michael - Shirley

"Best massage I've ever had. The pressure was just right and I felt like I'd woken up from
 a really good night's sleep
"

Katherine - Halesowen
 

"Been suffering for almost seven years with neck and shoulder pain. physio, acupuncture, chiropractor treatments

had not helped. Chronic pain/stiffness has been eased considerably with deep tissue massage with Elaine with much

improvement in quality of well-being. Treatment ongoing as benefit has been enhanced. Highly recommend."

Vipul - Birmingham


"Enjoyed the massage; first time other than on holiday. Deep Tissue. Very professional consultation
- thorough and comprehensive. Made me feel relaxed throughout.
Would use again even though I live twenty miles away. Would recommend to friends and family"

"The Full Body Deep Tissue massage was fantastic, completely lovely.

It feels like everything has loosened up and the week's tension has gone"

Esther - King's Norton

 

"I had tightness across my shoulders and back possibly from driving and sport.

The first Deep Tissue Back Massage session helped, but three or four made a huge difference;

racquet swing felt a lot lighter, much more comfortable across the shoulders and with a bit more rhythm.

Monthly sessions have definitely helped"

Professional service. Will come again and recommend"

She is fantastic and a very lovely lady. Thank you so much."

Jan - Castle Bromwich
