The Transition is Complete!

I am writing to you from our new booking platform, with my daughter on my lap. We are excited to report that the transition over to Square Appointments has been relatively smooth and as promising as expected. A new platform always comes with a learning curve, so please let me know if any of your appointment confirmations or booking attempts reveal any glitches.

A Few Updates

Weekly Availability
As promised in my last newsletter, daycare has given me the opportunity to open up my books a little more. You can find appointments Tuesday and Wednesday noon to 6:30pm (last 60 minute appointment starts at 5pm) and Thursday noon to 5:30pm (last 60 minute appointment starts at 4:00pm). Clients who absolutely cannot make these hours work may reach out to me about Sunday availability, which is intermittent. Or you may continue to seek out work with my recommended colleagues (https://www.inmyhandslmt.com/s/stories/massage-referrals) . I have openings waiting for bodies on Tuesday and Thursday this week - check out the new website and claim them if they're yours! I look forward to seeing you back on the table.

Packages
I am also now offering packages to help you save a little money in this economy. These are available in sets of three, up to fifteen, and come with a discount to match the number of sessions purchased (set of three @ 3% off, set of six @ 6% off, and so on). Appointments must be booked out upon purchase of a package, and packages are non-refundable. Let me know at your next appointment if you're interested in moving on this offer.

In My Heart
Most recently, I have been trying to stay grounded by learning more about how to support my neighbors and community through communications from Exodus Refugee (https://www.exodusrefugee.org/take-action/advocate/) and Hoosier Action (https://www.hoosieraction.org/) . If you also find yourself wondering what to do next to fight on the side of benevolence in the world, I highly recommend following these two organizations.

And when you need it, I am here for your mindbodyspirit refresh.

My baby Nova Seraphine Bookwalter arrived Thursday the 22nd after a long labor of love. We are both healthy, awash in unfathomable love, and well cared for by our rich perinatal community including amazing papa 💗 special shout out to for being an essential part of our birth team and to and for keeping our bodies limber.

I'll be back in the massage space in late August/early September equipped with a whole new understanding of the perinatal body, along with this profound transformation into motherhood. Thank you for all your love and support.

Monroe County is under a Travel Warning, which is the "nope, not today" red alert of travel advisories. Here’s what that means:

• Stay off the roads unless it’s an actual emergency. No quick snack runs (your destination is probably closed anyway) and no "I’ll just pop out for a minute and pretend I’m in a holiday movie montage."

• Follow emergency plans and let the experts take it from here.

• Cheer on our essential and emergency crews from the comfort of your couch—they’ve got this covered.

City Hall will be closed tomorrow, but our incredible teams are still at it, keeping things moving behind the scenes. We invite you to send them a virtual high five.
