Million Dollar Massage Newsletter
I hope you had a fabulous January! I recently went
to North Carolina to visit my best friend who just had
a baby. Shaelyn was 15 days old when I met her. I
felt
so blessed to witness this little miracle. My friend
Linnea is also a massage therapist and one of her
passions is teaching infant massage to
new mothers. It was great to hear her stories
and experiences with infant massage. It's a modality
that I have great respect for but have never
personally
been drawn to.
My passion lies with helping massage
therapists
(YOU)
thrive in your bodywork career. In this issue I'll
share with you three Million Dollar Foot Massage
tips including:
- Why attending to the feet will make you a better
therapist
- Applying Thieves essential oil on the feet for
whole body wellness
- How to end the foot massage so your clients are
in
bliss

Offer"that is listed below and also the"Blow

Sale" on

Accommodate Your Female Clients.
Also, the winner of the 4oz bottle of Ortho Ease by

Congratulations Kathy!
I wish you a prosperous February and would love to
hear about your successes.
Be well,

Become A Better Therapist
Give Awesome Foot Massages
The following Million Dollar Massage tip is so
precious and valuable you'll wonder why you haven't
done it sooner. Here it is, are you ready?
Spend at least 10 - 15 minutes of the treatment
massaging the feet.
There are a handful of people that absolutely don't
want their feet touched. I have met people who
don't want me to look at their feet and worse, they
don't even want me to know that they have feet!
It's true, there are folks who have an incredible foot
phobia.
But, for all the others who are not squeamish about
their
feet, you must give them a fabulous foot
massage. Our feet do so much for us from the
minute we step
out of bed until that moment we crawl back into
bed. One of the most grounding feelings we enjoy is
when someone touches our feet. Would you agree?
Yet so many therapists do a fluffy, light effleurage or
just ignore the feet altogether. I had one therapist
tell me that she only knew how to do a prone foot
massage. I thought, "how sad, what a missed
opportunity."
People melt like butter when they're receiving an
awesome foot massage. It's relaxing both physically
and mentally. Let's look at some of the therapeutic
benefits your clients will enjoy:
- they will relax much sooner just by having
their feet massaged
- as they sink into the table their muscles will
soften
- the memory of how wonderful & grounding it feels
has
them hooked on your work
- they re-book over & over because they know
they have found a little piece of heaven
The reason you will be a better therapist is:
- less strain on your hands because you won't have
to plow through tight, tense muscles
- your massage routine will expand
- you'll preserve your thumbs, wrists and hands
- you'll gain satisfaction with your new style of
working
- your practice will grow as your clients tell all their
friends about you
If you don't already include a quality foot massage in
your treatments, experiment by devoting 10 or more
minutes within every treatment. Then ask your
customers if they noticed a
difference. Their answer should be a resounding YES!
If you are unsure or rusty on how to give a supine &
prone
foot massage stay tuned because in February I am
releasing my second video called, "The Million
Dollar Foot Massage." The information in
this
video is so valuable and beneficial it
will literally blow
your socks off! I'm very excited about this project
and will keep you posted as I get closer to the
release date.
Use Thieves essential oil on the feet
Thieves essential oil is a proprietary blend
from
Young Living Oils. In addition to it's delicious aroma,
it is highly antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic.
The oils contained in
Thieves are: Rosemary, Lemon,
Eucalyptus, Clove & Cinnamon.
Because of the large pores on the soles of the feet,
essential oils are absorbed into the body very quickly.
In this season of winter ailments Thieves is
the ally to
have on hand.
I usually put about 4 drops into the palm of my hand,
rub my hands together lightly then transfer the oils
to my
client's
feet. The immune system building properties of
Thieves will be in your client's and your
system within 20 minutes. And for those clients who
have less than optimal smelling feet, Thieves
will
definitely improve that.
If you are already a member of Young Living Oils and
would like to purchase a 15 ml bottle, the order
number is: 3423. If you would like more information
on
how to order Thieves, click on the link
below or email me at: colleen@inspira-unlimited.com
and I will walk you through the process.
This powerful oil combined with your skilled foot
massage will have your clients feeling their absolute
best! Remember, happy customers consistently
re-book and refer.

A Small But Mighty Massage Tip
I want to share with you this delicious closing
technique that I
learned from Dwight Byers at the International
Institute of Reflexology. If you are interested in
learning the fabulous art of reflexology, I recommend
his technique. Mr. Byers is the nephew of Eunice
Ingham. Ms. Ingham was a remarkable pioneer back
in the 1930's and pretty much put reflexology on the
map. The Institute of Reflexology is world renowned
and highly reputable.
OK, here's the technique:
- complete the supine phase of the massage
- place each of your thumb pads into the solar
plexus region of each foot (refer to circle on picture)
- ask your client to take in three long and slow
deep breaths
- as they inhale, press your
thumbs into the solar plexus region and hold
- as they exhale, maintain contact with your
thumbs but release your pressure just a bit
- on the third inhale ask your client to hold their
breath, then slowly exhale
- as they exhale the third time, slowly release your
thumbs altogether
Remember to do this synergistically with your client's
inhale and exhale. There is a subtle, rhythmic dance
with this technique, and once you've mastered it,
you'll have another Million Dollar Massage
tip in your toolbox.
This awesome closing technique has profound
physical, mental and spiritual benefits to your client.
As they deep breathe, lung expansion occurs,
circulation is improved and they'll sink deeper into
relaxation. And during those brief moments of
deliberate breathing, your client will drift into that
place that few of us ever find...a place of total
restoration and peace.
Every single time I do this technique I hear the sound
of true contentment: "aaaahhhh".
Have fun with this one, please let me know your
results.
