Ashi-Thai

January Special – Let’s Get Our Ashi-Thai On!

Ashi-Thai /

So yesterday as I was working with a regular client we were talking about Ashi-Thai and how she wanted to try it. After she got dressed, I put her back on the table and did a few stretches on her hips. That’s when I discovered that it’s been so long since I had anyone in for Ashi-Thai that I had forgotten which foot to use for which move.

So I’ve decided that January is going to be Ashi-Thai month. Book and receive an hour of Ashi-Thai during the month of January and get $10 off the regular fee. That’s $50 for an hour of Ashi-Thai goodness.

Call soon and get on the schedule!

My First Sporting Event!

Ashi-Thai /

One of the things I’ve been wanting to do as an Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapist is do events with my portable bars. Heck, it’s why I invested all those dollars on the portable bars.

Up until now I haven’t had much luck insinuating myself into any local events. Until yesterday when a friend texted and asked if I would donate a gift certificate to support The Special Olympics via the Decatur Police Department’s annual Torch Run. I had been involved with this organization in years past and immediately agreed.

Then I pitched, “How about I come out and work your event?” She got excited, I got excited, then we figured out I was going to be out of town that weekend, but wait, there’s another event this weekend closer to where we live.

So… Harvest Moon Massage Therapy & Reflexology will be at the Foot Pursuit 5K this Saturday giving out free massages!

Where: St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 1450 Sparkman Street, Hartselle, AL
When: March 26, ~7am – 10:30am

I would love to see you there!

And here’s a gratuitous plug for my friend / Ashi-Thai instructor. She is the subject of an article about Ashi and Athletes and put up some lovely pictures from one of her events.

Ashi-Thai Surprise

Ashi-Thai /

I had written a while ago about scheduling an Ashi-Thai training for September of this year. Two weeks ago when I started making concrete plans to go to San Antonio, TX for that training we discovered that the class was probably not going to make. The instructor and I decided it would be best for me to transfer into the August training class in Dallas.

So after a lot of hastily done research a ticket was purchased, a car was reserved, and I’m driving to Birmingham to hop a flight this afternoon.

I’ll be back Thursday and I’ll be looking for bodies to practice on. If you’re interested, give me a call.

Funny You Should Ask

Ashi-Thai /

I received a phone call a few days ago from a gentleman in Auburn, AL. He was looking for a Thai massage therapist in the Decatur area and had found this website from an internet search.

Funny that he should call and ask for Thai massage specifically as I’ve been kicking around the possibility of taking Ashi-Thai in September. There has been much waffling and back and forth trying to make the decision. Can I afford it? Am I going overboard with the Ashi / CEUs? Will it sell in my area?

So the phone call prompted me to make the decision. I’ve contacted the instructor and will be traveling to San Antonio, TX in September to be trained in Ashi-Thai. I’m excited about learning and integrating the new skill set into my practice. I’m also quite excited at the prospect of being stretched for two days.

It’s also great to know that the website is working. And it’s always a pleasure talking to and educating someone about AOBT.
