I also now have two fun new massage tools: cups and Synergy hot stones! The photo above is from the latest CEU class I took for advanced Thai massage techniques where we played with cupping on the energy lines. It was pretty awesome! I am now integrating cupping into my massages where it feels appropriate. If you know you love cupping and want it, let me know! And because I charge for time, this is also a FREE add on!

Lastly, we now have Synergy Hot stones!! These are pretty awesome, modern day hot stones that hold their heat forever and come is lots of cool shapes and sizes made specifically for massaging!  Do you want hot stones? Because it does take a little bit of time to heat these up please try to let me know at least a few hours in advance if you know you want to experience the hot stones. And if I already have them warm, I may just throw them in if it feels your body needs them. But once again, no extra cost!

The rate that doesn't make you cringe, but still feels like a little bit of a stretch is probably the right rate for you. 

I don't charge extra for add ons or different kinds of massage, unless they require significant extra time (ei, travel or the set up and take down for a couples massage) because I want you to get what you need when you come in for your appointment. And that may have changed since you booked it. Maybe you thought you just wanted a Swedish relaxation massage but then today your back is hurting and some heat and deeper work would feel great! I am happy to heat up the Synergy stones for you and do more deep tissue work.

Also, I work very intuitively, and sometimes my instincts are telling me you could really benefit from some cupping, or Thai on the table, or the relaxing scent of lavender. And I want to be able to offer this to you without you worrying about it costing extra. 

I hope that answers some questions about pricing and money for people. And Feel free to ask questions! 

Mix the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut flour together for the bottom layer. Consistency should be dry by malleable. Think pie crust.

Then put this on the bottom of a 8x8 inch pan. If you need to you can warm in your oven at the lowest heat (less than 200 F) to help it soften and set.

On the stove top, on lowest heat in a small saucepan, melt cacao butter and add cacao powder. Make sure it doesn't burn by stirring often and keeping on LOW heat. Then add your desired spices and any fruit and pour over the almond butter layer. Put in the fridge and let set!

I brought these to a song circle recently and the whole pan was gone by the end of the night!

The Dances of Universal Peace are a spiritual practice of embodied prayer, drawing on sacred writings and songs from many spiritual traditions from around the world. They began in the late seventies and there are now circles all around the world! The photo to the left is of Leilah Be, a dance leader from Hawaii who was in Ashville leading a retreat this past weekend that I was lucky enough to go to. 

This Saturday at 7pm is our local monthly Charleston dance circle, and I would love to see you there and share with you the sweetness of this past practice. 

This Saturday, the 21st of September, is also the Equinox and World Peace Day. What better way to celebrate then to come sing and dance e the Dances Of Universal Peace.

This is a open public event. All are welcome, dress is casual and no experience necessary! Just come with an open heart and a willingness to try something new. Suggested donation $10.

Here is what one client of mine had to say in a google review: 

"I've been struggling with pain and numbness from thoracic outlet syndrome for months now and decided to see Miwa to relieve tension in my back and arm. She knew exactly what my condition was when I explained it to her and spent a full hour targeting my right back, shoulder, neck and arm with deep tissue massage. I noticed instant relief the next day and will certainly be returning for more sessions. I've been to other massage therapists who listen to your problems but then give you what seems to be a standard massage. By contrast, Miwa was knowledgable and responsive to my unique issues, and I would highly recommend her." -M.E.

I am delighted to say that I checked  in with this client just a few days ago (three weeks since his original appointment) and it is still very much improved, with pain that he was experiencing in his elbow and wrist still gone. He is coming back in to work on some remaining tightness around the scapula, but that is not bad for improvement from just one massage session!

If you see a chiropractor or a physical therapist regularly ask them if they feel massage would be beneficial to add to your treatment plan. I think most will agree that targeted massage work can be very beneficial! 

And... On my intake form I do ask where you heard of me and if you send me 5 new clients I will give you a FREE massage!
