T-Minus 2 days

Well, here I am, 2 days of school left! I am so excited....but sad all at the same time. This year started and has almost come to an end in a blink of an eye. I have made many new friends, met some pretty "interesting" people and will be moving on from the adventure with some crazy memories.

A new chapter in life will start for me.....I will be working a few days a week with a Chiropractor and a couple of days a week out of a spa. It will be a nice change of pace from the days of ole'.

Bring on the good times!

Almost done

A quick update on my and my progress with school. I continue to be on the Honor Roll (loving the 4.0 grades!) and hold my roll as a student Ambassador. I have only 8 weeks of school left and am praying very hard that the state will expedite my license application. :-)

I currently am running through ALL of my options once I am finished with school and my license is approved. I really want to start working with a chiropractor and or homeopathic medicine. My more long term goals are to do sports massage and continue clinical work. But ya gotta start somewhere.... :-)

I have a few leads...that I'm hoping will work out....if you know anyone who is looking for a massage therapist who is focused and passionate about bringing health through massage....tell them about me! :-)

Cheers,
Rebecca

Welcome

Good Evening everyone. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Below is a little introductory to who we are, what we do and stand for and why we are in the business of massage. Our owner, Rebecca Shirley, is currently going to school to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in Washington State.

I look forward to getting to know you.....as well you getting to know me. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions (rshirley.massage@gmail.com) or if would like to learn more about massage.

Standing strong on the principle that everyone deserves the chance to rejuvenate, relax and renew themselves. Our goal is to provide both short term and long term relief from stresses of daily life and chronic discomfort. Clients will have the most up to date treatment options, as we are dedicated to higher education.

Currently, I offer all my of massage services (current knowledge of Swedish Massage, Pre/Post Natal Massage, Elderly/Geriatric Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point and Cranial Sacral Massage) on the go. I am willing to travel to locations in Kitsap County, King County and Pierce County.

Pure Haven Bodyworks and Massage is the type of company that will offer to all our clients, professionalism, rest, peace, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Because we strive to offer a high level of professionalism a small sample of our policies are listed below:

I, __________________________________ (print name) understand that Sexual behavior by the client toward the therapist or by the therapist toward the client is unethical, inappropriate and unacceptable. Sexual harassment is NOT tolerated. If the therapist's or client's safety feels compromised, the session is terminated immediately.

Draping will be used during the session – only the area being worked on will be uncovered.
Clients under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the entire session.
Informed written consent must be provided by parent or legal guardian for any client under the age of 17.

I, ___________________________________ (print name) understand that the massage I receive is provided for the basic purpose of relaxation and relief of muscular tension. If I experience any pain or discomfort during this session, I will immediately inform the therapist so that the pressure and/or strokes may be adjusted to my level of comfort. I further understand that massage should not be construed as a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis, or treatment and that I should see a physician, chiropractor or other qualified medical specialist for any mental or physical ailment that I am aware of. I understand that massage therapists are not qualified to perform spinal or skeletal adjustments, diagnose, prescribe, or treat any physical or mental illness, and that nothing said in the course of the session given should be construed as such. Because massage should not be performed under certain medical conditions, I affirm that I have stated all my known medical conditions, and answered all questions honestly. I agree to keep the therapist updated as to any changes in my medical profile and understand that there shall be no liability on the therapist’s part should I fail to do so.

Thank you for choosing to read my blog!
Have a great day....and if you need to take a little time for yourself....and wish to have a great massage....please consider booking your appointment with me!
