Chair massage on the go!

You can have Sakura Spa Events visit you at work.  Feeling the need for your staff to have a day to relax or even just to take a few minutes from their lunch breaks to receive a rejuvenating massage?  Here's how it works.  You call us and book your office massage, our staff will come to you and, once you have a secluded area for the massages, we will be able to take you away from work even when you are still there.  Fifteen minutes for $20.  If you require more time you can call in and your massage will be customized to fit your needs.

Massage me!

Couples are always trying to soothe each other's pain even when it comes to giving massages.  On television couples giving each other massages is seen as a romantic gesture but, in reality, it may actually be harmful.  Massage is only meant to be performed by a Massage Therapist and that is for a number of reasons.  CMTs (Certified Massage Therapists) and LMTs (Licensed Massage Therapists) where trained to know what and how to touch.  Their academic training is at least eleven months long and to think that an amateur would attempt the same thing a therapist (who trained for at least 500 hours and  had to practice continuously) is harmful to the client.  Massage is an art but, is also taught to teach how it should be performed and what to avoid.  All therapists are taught of the endangerment sites that are either forbidden from being touched or requires light pressure.  These sites expose bodily organs, bones, veins and arteries.  Visiting a therapist for a brief class would work out better than giving a freestyle massage and potentially hurting your other half.

Allergic?

When receiving a massage, the client may come in contact with various allergens.  In an aromatherapy massage, there is an infusion of essential oils (therapeutic aromatic oils such as lavender, citrus) and base oils (massage lubricant eg. almond, grape seed, safflower oils).  This infusion is used to create aromatic healing for the client.  Chamomile and lavender induces sleep, citrus helps wake you up, eucalyptus is used to clean the air of sickness or can be applied to areas of muscular distress.  These can be very beneficial to the client but, if the client is prone to allergic reactions, the therapist should be notified.  Clients with allergic reactions to nuts shouldn't be massaged with almond oil and clients with contact dermatitis should have a skin test patch on a small area overnight to make sure they won't have an allergic reaction to the specific oil.  Making sure that your therapist is well informed on your allergies and health conditions will help you when receiving a massage.

Going to the doctor vs. visiting a Massage Therapist

Many of us are guilty of running to the doctor for pain meds whenever we have physical pain but, that doesn't always work.  Did you know that pain relievers and aspirin actually just numbens the pain and doesn't solve the problem.  Yes, it seems as if the pain is gone and everything is right with the world but, did you ever wonder how the medicine knew where to go or did it just feel like your medicine only masked the pain?  There are times when you should go to the doctor but, if you are only suffering from muscular distress, massage may just be the better choice.  Ruling out this natural remedy may just cause you more stress on your body and it would be much more inexpensive if you just decide to visit your therapist.


There are also times when visiting your therapist isn't good.  If you are suffering from a cold, flu or some other condition massage will have to wait.  Getting a massage during a healing process actual heightens the sickness making it worst for the patient.  Also, clients with chronic issues and physical ailments should visit a Physical Therapist, a Chiropractor or a Medical Doctor.  When dealing with these conditions, a Massage Therapist may only add to the pain experienced by the client.


All in all, you should know your body.  Feel it out and listen to what it is telling you.  Receiving a massage may be just what you need instead of the common alternative. 

About the Owner, Nadia Beneby

I am a Certified Massage Therapist who is completely passionate about massage.  To me,  it is more than a job or a career.  It is an art.  An art that can't be performed by just anyone.  I think of myself as an artist would think of him or herself who needs their painting to be just right.  I want all of my clients to feel as comfortable, relaxed and rejuvenated as they can feel.  I love to know that I erased muscular pain, increased circulation, uplifted their spirits and gave them an overall relaxing feeling.  In my years of performing massage, I have encountered many clients looking for help with their physical conditions.  The natural healing benefits of massage is something that may only be accomplished on the massage table and not every problem can be fixed by the doctor.  But not everybody can be a client of a Massage Therapist either.  Some people have more chronic issues that can only be relieved by a Physical Therapist, a Chiropractor, a Medical Doctor or a Surgeon.  Knowing what you need for your body is key.  Each person has a different issue and knowing what is going on with your body allows the therapist to be able to serve or advise you in the best way.
