Hey there Nick! 3 for $200 Summertime Deal Our very popular summertime 3 series is back! This is 3 1-hour massage or bodywork sessions for summertime use sold at a low $200. In all truth the summer in Latham is a bit of a slower time as lots of folks are away or on vacation. So if you are sticking around or picking up new activities in the nice weather we would like to give you some incentive to take care of your bodies during these summer months. The 3 Series will be sold July 1 through August 31 and will have an expiration date exactly 3 months from the date of purchase. As with all our sales your unused credit is good forever, but the discount will expire. We are running this for a few weeks only, so be sure to secure your 3 mini vacations now! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Advanced Rolfing 5 Series I realize that with all I've shared with you about my travels, I did not talk much about the Advanced Rolfing Series that I studied while in Hawaii. This is in part because I did not want to share something that I felt I did not completely understand at the time. Back on home turf, however I believe I have been able to put my new learning into context and come up with a good idea of how to relate it. The Advanced Rolfing 5 series is meant for folks who have been through the Basic 10 several times. This series is meant to shake things up and bring about new organization in the body. The sessions are very different from anything I have ever seen before (there are very few Advanced Rolfers in New York), and they won't be for everyone. But if you are interested... Needed: 5 Guinea Pigs to Try the Advanced 5 Series As I wrap my head around this new work, I need some adventurous folks to practice on. I plan to deliver the 5 series to 5 people at $50 for each session. These are folks willing to try out very new work and give me feedback on what it's like. I find the work remarkable and for the right people, I believe this series will be amazing but again, the advanced sessions are not for everyone. They are very different from the basic 10, and nothing at all like a massage. Two of the spots have already been tentatively filled. If you are interested, please blast me an email. You will see much more from me in the coming weeks and months about this at the Bodywork Adventure Blog [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=onhvbynab.0.0.66p4tmkab.0&id=preview&ts=S0916&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bodyworkprofessionals.com%2Farticles-2]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nick's Rate Change I have had just one rate change for the 13 years I've been doing this work, but as of July 31st 2013 (my birthday) my rates will increase for a second time to $125 per Rolfing session. I have been able to keep my rates stable by supplementing my income with the business. For anyone currently in a series the rate will remain at $100 until the series is completed. I will also continue to offer some session gratis for those who simply cannot afford it. Nobody likes rate hikes, and this is not an easy thing for me to do but as this is hard work, and I have now completed an advanced training in my studies, I feel that the sessions are worth $125. I do not accept tips as I believe that I ask for what the sessions cost and the equation is complete. Thank you for understanding and supporting me all these years. Warmly, ~Nick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next Gong Bath & Special Singing Bowl Event [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=onhvbynab.0.0.66p4tmkab.0&id=preview&ts=S0916&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fclients.mindbodyonline.com%2Fws.asp%3Fstudioid%3D30130%26stype%3D-8] Friday, July 20th 7pm at the Pilates Principle We'd love to have you with us for our next Gong Lab! As always it's the 3rd Friday of each month in Latham. We are currently working on a Saratoga Springs monthly event as well! Also in the works is a very special event with a singing bowl master from India who is doing a workshop in NYC and may come to Albany for a special 3 hour bowl session. It will only be $30 and will be a great opportunity for anyone interested in sound healing and learning from a master. As plans materialize further, I will keep you informed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
