I truly enjoyed presenting my career experiences to some Newport High School students, as they kick off ''Career Exploration Month" via the aspire program. They were eager to hear about it, and had some great questions...not to mention a couple volunteers for a free chair massage. 😁
I absolutely LOVE what I can offer our beautiful community, through the healing power of touch!! And, honored to know, the aspire program helped my mini-me (Dyana) become a successful LMT as well...AND meet her soul mate 💙

Thank you Diane Simik for sharing your job as a Licensed Massage Therapist with our student!

I am all about self care! I could be pampered every day, if it were possible!! Remember, there are an average of 720 hours in a month. YOU, are worthy of at least one of them for taking time for YOUR wellness!!

Great reminder for the kiddos!!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR: Backpack Check up time!

Did you know you use PostureScreen to quickly and objectively perform assessments of children and use comparative reports to measure changes in their posture secondary to backpacks. Based on this information, you as the healthcare professional can make recommendations to the child's parents on improving and minimizing their posture displacements, to hopefully minimize risks to their spinal health. If you do not yet have PostureScreen for your practice, you can get it now on the Apple AppStore https://itunes.apple.com/app/id405109185
or on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.postureco.posturescreen&hl=en

She's here...my beautiful massage studio!! 5+ years of planning, scraping pennies, and an amazing artist/person...Dan Barrett! It's been an emotional, and pretty rough month...so this sweet healing space, is a perfectly welcomed addition to my sanctuary 💜 HOME 💜 Looking forward to seeing my clients/friends here, on my new starting date of July 19th! Planning on trellis with clematis climbing up for privacy, and other beauties! ☮💜☯️

I'M MOVING!! But...not that far!! 😃

Beginning this Independence Day, I will be "beginning my independence", and offering massage therapy at my home! Dan Barrett, from Affordable Spaces in Toledo, has almost completed a beautiful healing space, for us to continue your 'well'ness needs. I couldn't possibly be more excited!

I have enjoyed, and am so grateful, for my time with Healing HeArts. I am only choosing to move on, for financial benefits, as I have a goal of paying off my house before I retire. Don't worry...that will be at least 10 years from now!

To avoid confusion, I won't change the address on Schedulicity, social media, or my website, until I am fully moved.

Just remember...after 4th of July.

Thank you all...I couldn't have done this without my awesome clients/friends. My heart runneth over!

Don't hesitate if you have any questions, or concerns.

✌ Diane

This is one of THE BEST, descriptive videos of the importance of fascia relating to chronic pain. Please, take 12 minutes, and watch it. Yoga, massage...pretty much any kind of fascial manipulation, is so important...MOTION IS LOTION , my friends!

I say this often..."There are an average of 720 hours in a month, you are worth, at least one of them, to get a massage!" 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

I think we can all agree, we have been patiently waiting for the announcement of being able to return back to normal, or rather, our new normal!

I received an email yesterday from the Oregon Board of Massage, and unfortunately, it's still a big "NO". They are however, in negotiations with the State, and have a committee working on what our new practice guidelines and requirements will be, based on the aftermath of this unprecedented event. The news is, there is no news. There is no prospective date for me to be able to open back up.

I hope everyone is fairing this time well, and finding some blessings in this awkwardness and uncertainty.
But, don't worry about me, I am doing fine, and finding ways to stay busy and enjoy the down time as much as I can. I sure do miss all my clients/friends terribly though, and can't wait until we can get back to seeing each other!

I am offering my spring tax package special again...because I still have to pay those taxes in July! Also, I've had many wonderful people offer to pay ahead for appointments, or buy gift certificates. I truly appreciate that, as to ease any financial impact, due to Covid-19 and the temporary closure of my practice. Since we have to practice "social distancing", you can pay securely on-line or send a check to my office. In order for me not to get charged huge transition fees, Gift Card Cafe, has a "make a donation" button/link ( they are waiving fees ). You may use it to purchase a massage or more. You may also use it for payment for your Spring Tax Package Special. In the 'include a message' section, write in what you are paying for. When you invest in your health by buying a package, you will get a FREE massage. Here are some options:
1/2 Hour Massages:

4 massages x $45 = $180

Get one free equals five 1/2 hour massages for $180

1 Hour Massages:

6 massages x $75 = $450

Get one free equals seven one hour massages for $450

1.5 Hour Massages:

4 massages x $100 = $400

Get one free equals five 1.5 hour massages for $400

2 Hour Massages:

4 massages x $135 = $540

Get one free equals five 2 hour massages for $540

Other Options:

Pay for 2 (of any length) get a third at half price.

Three - 30 minute massages for $113 (a savings of $22)

Three - 1 hour massages for $188 (a savings of $38)

Three - 1.5 hour massages for $250 (a savings of $50)

Three - 2 hour massages for $315 ( a savings of $45)

Special package prices must be purchased by June 1, 2020.

If paying by credit/debit card for a package ONLY, my bank will charge a 3% processing fee, which we will add at a later date.

Hopefully all is well with you and yours and you can take advantage of this special.

Yours in health,

Diane

Oh, how I miss this room! I miss all my clients/friends...not to mention, my hospice patients! I never realized just how much, massage is who I am. 🤲The amazing power of touch..it goes both ways with this profession! Just canceled all of my 70 appointments today for the month of April. I can't do the math in my head without a tear or two....everything will be ok, Diane! I realize it doesn't compare to what our whole planet is going through.💔 Had some errands to run yesterday, and it was so sad to see our little town, so...sleepy. I will never complain about tourists again, as they bring life. We are meant to have human connections. An introvert, I am NOT!! However, we have to concentrate on all the good that is coming from this....ying yang ☯️ People stepping up to help others! It's beautiful to see all the amazingly brave health workers, grocery workers, city employees and all the other professions keeping us going...even the cute faces at Dutch Bros ! 🙏 Thank you! Hopefully, May will bring us all together again!! ☮💕🌈
