Happy, Happy New Year to Each of You!
I hope your holidays have been magical and calm. Thank you so much to everyone who bought gift certificates and continues to support my work.
I'm blessed!
I sense that this coming year will be full of action and change. Personal growth is knocking on our door, guys. Perhaps the ancient Chinese myth of a snake year (2025 was a snake year) shedding it's skin is true. They propose a snake year teaches us to accept and release old habits, including relationships and comforts that hold us back. 2026 is a fire horse. A year projected to launch us from a soft jog to a racing gallop. Let's get strong, balanced, and focused in preparation and in practice.
To all of my current and future Pilates students. I cannot tell you how honored I am to share this work with you.
For the past 5 years I have really focused on advancing my manual therapy skills and proficiency working with the fascial body/system. (MUCH more to learn!) This year I am putting Pilates
back in the front seat.
I am doing a variety of advanced Pilates trainings. The first two trainings take me to Italy to study with a master practisioner that I have followed since 2004. She is also a revered manual therapist who combines both Pilates strengthening and muscular activation with massage release techniques to achieve balanced and strong joints, indeed whole body alignment patterns!
Are you guys as excited as I am?!
This year is going to be full of work and study and I am really looking forward to it. I'll also be taking a two-day orthopedic massage course. I'll also be returning to Spain to study with my sanga of Thai practitioners.
But still! Pilates is my focus during this year of the firey, galloping horse.
I have yet to mention relocating our studio. I have chosen to wait for a location better suited for all of our needs. Also, I am definitely
holding onto comfort ;-).
Alas, I do know a change in our location is on it's way.
Pilates gang, if you are wanting to dive deeper or get more out of our sessions
in any way, let's talk about it.
Let's make a plan!
I am currently working on a specific training program for two of my clients that we will practice for 6 months. Please let me know if this is something you're interested in developing
for your workouts.
To my truly beloved massage clients, I am so very grateful that you come to see me! Please keep spreading the word!
I must let you know that along with the continued cost of everything rising, I am compelled to increase my prices
to better reflect my skill level
within the Memphis market.
60 min massages will now be $95
120 min massages will now be $135
2 hour massages are now $200
Prenatal massages will remain the same.
60 Thai massages will now be $120
120 min Thai sessions will be $175
2 hour Thai massages will be $225
If you are currently on the schedule with a previous booking the price will remain the same as it was when you booked your session, or purchased a gift card. So, this applies to all new bookings moving forward.
Additionally, I can no longer offer massages at the Pilates package pricing. Massages will have separate 5 session package pricing.
A 5 pack of 60 min massage will be $430.00
A 5 pack of 120 min massage will be
$607.00
For other package pricing please reach out to me!
Pilates rates are remaining the same as are 120 min combined Pilates and Manual therapy sessions.
I sure hope you all understand my decision about this.
In other news, soon I will have intake forms and waivers for you to fill out.
I'll also be keeping more consistent documentation of your postural assessments during each session.
Again, Thank you for
your continued support!
I can't wait to see ya when the studio reopens on Jan 5th!
All my very best,
Mel
