Tax on Massage in NY? Yikes

2009-03-10T09:57:00.000-07:00

Governor Paterson has include Massage Therapy Services in his Executive Budget proposal to impose a sales tax on. BOOOOO....

Anti this proposal for clients who depend on massage therapy services for their health and well-being. And just as anti for the many massage therapists that will have to collect and submit sales tax. Be late in doing so and incur a $50 fee.

Want to fight it? Go to www.amtany.org . Don't know why this won't link but the address is easy enough to enter in yourself.

6 Ways To Reduce Stress

2009-02-10T11:25:00.001-08:00

1. Breathe - A simple technique: In through the nose out through the mouth. Imagine all the negative energy departing as you breathe out. Release the stress from head to toe.

2. Share a good laugh- belly laughs are the best medicine to bring back balance & positive energy.

3. Abandon the TV for a week and give your mind a break from the assault on our senses. Instead, read a book, go for a walk, hop on the treadmill, do jumping jacks, socialize or turn on some music and groove. Feel the difference.

4. Do one thing at a time. Do it mindfully and do it well. Enjoy the experience.

5. Do good for others. Doing good for others makes us feel good. Anxiety and stress involve a high degree of focus on the self, focusing on the needs of others literally helps shift our thinking. When you experience compassion and kindness, negative emotions tend to depart. Even better: Feeling good tends to makes us more likely to do more good. Welcome to the positive feel good loop. This is a cycle you may not want to break. So go ahead, help that random person you see on the street. Feel good about it and let the kindness roll.

6. Get a Massage. Research on massage therapy suggests that there is a reduction in stress levels following a massage. We in turn feel less pain, less depressed, less anxious, less fatigued, and have less difficulty falling asleep (Touch Research Institute). Massage puts you in a state of rest so that your body can effectively repair itself. It helps cleanse and detoxify the mind and body so you feel balanced again and free of pain.

Hot Stone Massage has fast become one of the most popular massage modalities. It is a unique indulgence that most describe as pure bliss. Heated basalt stones and warm oil are applied to the body which sedates the client into deep relaxation while it melts away knots, tension, and stress. The penetrating heat from the basalt stones expand the blood vessels pushing oxygen & nutrients through the body while it pushes toxins out. The direct heat relaxes muscles & allows for manipulation of a greater intensity than with a normal massage.

The Massage Therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another. The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body. If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.

In home massage- brand new site

2008-09-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

We are really excited about starting in home massage.org . We feel there is such a need for in home massage but clients often have a hard time locating mobile therapists that will travel to their homes, offices, vacation destinations, etc. Jiva wellness (massage & fitness) halted our in home massage business almost a year and half ago so we could focus on just doing chair massage. We still get numerous requests for in home massage and we spend a lot of time referring out to therapists all over NY, NJ and CT as clients don't know where to go to find mobile massage therapists. We are grateful to have come in contact with so many awesome therapists and we feel like our clients still want this service so we were really compelled to do something about it.

We've created the in home massage website to connect the therapist that will travel and the client that wants mobile services. It went live this month and for a limited time we are offering a 60 day free trial for massage therapists to check it out. We already have in home massage therapists signed up in the Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, Putnam County, NY areas as well as Brooklyn,and NYC areas. Clients will call/email the therapists directly to set up appointments with them taking the middleman out of the picture and allowing for greater profit for the therapist.

Here is the link for therapists to register to be on the site: http://www.inhomemassage.org/Whyjointhedirectory.html The free trial is a win win for everyone. We need to get therapists on the site and we want the therapists to benefit by getting work in their area. After the trial, it is $9.99 a month which is pretty minimal considering what you can charge for just one in home session. You can certainly opt out at any time if its not working for you. Hope to see your smiling face on there!
