Interview with Ryan Coleman
I have often thought that what we do as massage therapists is very similar to what visual artists do. That is a concept that is perhaps hard to explain, especially to someone who might not be familiar with either art or massage. But the beauty and power of art is something many of us do [...]
Replace your bath towels with tea towels!
If you’re like me, you do things JUST to irritate your older sisters. If you don’t believe me, just ask them. They think I do and eat all sorts of weird things just to tick them off. They are both pretty sure this is why I am a vegetarian. They love me anyway, and I [...]
Interview with Kat Talbot, massage therapist.

There are SO many good locally-owned places to shop in Kansas City I keep adding more to the mental list. And while it IS the thought that counts, [...]

We all love supporting homegrown businesses, but sometimes the speed and convenience of cruising the web and having the perfect item delivered with a click of the mouse is just too tempting. Especially as winter gets cold and blustery, [...]
We LOVE regulars, returns and referrals!
When you run a small business everyone has a lot of good ideas about how you can promote your business. “You could do chair massage at first Fridays; you could offer $5 off your first massage; you could donate a free massage to my son’s football team raffle; you could work on famous people when [...]
