“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”

Lyrics from John Lennon's song "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)", borrowed from the sentiments of Allen Saunders, 1957. I can attest to the applicability to my recent days.

Over the past two months I have been reflecting where my life has been, where it's going. I have found myself blessed with absolutely faithful clients that have contributed to my amazing success as a massage therapist in a small business setting. Without all of you, I would have not been able to improve my techniques and offer the service that I do. I am greatly humbled for your faithfulness as clients, your faith in me.

During this short time there's been many changes, putting me in the position to make some very difficult choices about my future for family and for business. Choices that came from time to think and ponder, and others that have been made for me. Choices that cause me to both rejoice and bears heaviness in my heart.

I have decided to take a leave of sort from offering massage; this would provide the best balance for me, my family and for those that I provide massage services. Starting this month I will be limiting my hours and the amount of clients I can serve. I will no longer accept new clients except those that have current certificates to redeem.

I have will eventually be transitioning service from my current office location to out of my home, one day every other week, 9:30am to 3:00pm. I will no longer rely on online scheduling, but will accept text messages, email and of course phone calls. Please include your full name we've been using for scheduling previously and contact number in any contact.

If you are in need of another therapist, please see the Albany Massage Center's website for a list of therapists that may suite your needs.

Please accept my apologies if this has inconvenienced anyone. I sincerely appreciate and respect every single one of you as my clients.
