I realize I'm not the worlds best blogger. I think it's my reading narcolepsy that's to blame. If I read a lot, I fall asleep. If I actually do take the time to sit down and write something, it'll be so long that you'll fall asleep. Naps are nice, but they are kind of inconvenient if it happens face first into your laptop in a Starbucks.

So while I'm busy ~not~ keeping this blog super bogged down with posts, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Whether you are a client of Heeling Sole, a massage therapist interested in learning more about Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, or a graduate of one of my classes, I'll have a little bit of something for everyone here on the blog (occasionally) but more often it'll be on my social networks, in 140 characters or less.

This weeked starts the Americal Massage Therapy Association's (AMTA) National Massage Therapy Awareness Week! Every year around October 25-31st its time to remind yourself to get back into the habit of taking care of your body with regularly scheduled massages.

Are you aware of what your body is telling you? Sometimes we are so busy in life that we have learned to tune out our own natural intuition, and we shut down the voices saying "Hey! I'm overworked! I need a massage!"

Not ~all~ the voices in your head are crazy, but the voices in your body are usually right! So listen to them and come in this week.

A barefoot massage will help you turn up the volume on your body's awareness channel, you'll start to see the warning signs for when that evil knot that lives in your shoulder is about to attack.

Let massage help you become more aware now, and you're body will thank you forever!

I've got one workshop nailed down for next year "fo sho", it's the Advanced Ashiatsu (Formerly known as Deep Feet 2 & Fusion) scheduled for February 2010. I'm working on planning out the rest of the year in San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix, and ~hopefully~ the Seattle area, with lots more Barefoot Basics, Anterior/Sidelying, Ashi-Thai and Advanced Ashi, so keep your toes on the nose and watch my new site for the listing of next years Ashi dates!

One and a "sorta" set of bars done, four to go! Today I finished the bars at Isabelle's day spa in San Antonio, a place where I work 2 days a week, super part time. Then the Joel's and I started construction on the new San Antonio AOBT classroom! My awesome brother Joel worked his butt off, while my awesome hubby Joel and I were his slaves. We got as far as we could in one night, so here are the pictures, we'll finish on Tuesday! I can't wait to teach in San Antonio, I'm thinking the 1st class will be Ashi-Thai in early October, and Barefoot Basics late October!

Isabelle's Bars (I call them "Isabars")

Husband Joel @ work

One set @ the classroom "sorta" finished, still needs work!

Grand opening for my massage business, the actual real "Heeling Sole" which will be in my classroom space at the Integrative Healing Institute, will be @ the beginning of September sometime, so hold your massages from me until I move into this new place!

If you just "must" see me now, come to Isabelle's*. You'll have to schedule with them, so call (210) 493-5544 to schedule your Ashiatsu session, request Jeni, for Thursdays (8am-4pm) or Saturdays (8am-6pm)! There are only 2 days I'll be there this month, and 3 days I'll be there in August due to my travel and workshop schedule. Isabelle's pricing is $80 for 60 minutes, $105 for 90 minutes.
(*I have no control over the price, scheduling or anything there, it's not my own business!!)
