My Amazing Replacement

Hello! Thank you all for being so patient with me while I am transitioning into a new chapter in my journey! I am so happy to let you know I have found an incredible massage therapist to help you achieve and maintain optimal health!

I had the pleasure to meet and receive a massage from Camille before I started my move to New York for a Physician Assistant program. One of my largest concerns with this huge life change was that I left you in good hands, and I truly believe I am doing just that! I am beyond grateful that I found such an amazing therapist so quickly. Here is a little more about Camille and how you can reach her!

About Camille
My name is Camille Crook. I was born and raised in Heber city, Utah. I love the outdoors and going to live sporting events. I have been a Licensed massage therapist since 2015 and started my career in a chiropractic office. During my first six years I gained experience working on long distance runners, cyclists, and individuals injured in car accidents. In 2019 I moved to North Carolina where I started working as a physical therapy technician and furthered my experience in injury recovery. I later earned my massage license in North Carolina and began working primarily with active duty members of the United States Marine Corps. While in Carolina, I received certification in Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM/Scraping), Functional Movement Training (FMT/Kinesiology Tape), and several Cupping Techniques. In 2023 I moved back to Utah to continue my massage career with specialization in sports, trigger point, deep tissue, and therapeutic massage. I look forward to being a part of your recovery.

BIG announcement!!

What do you think it is? ...

I was accepted!

Physician Assistant Program, here I come!
If you have been with me for a while, you know I have been working towards becoming a Physician Assistant. After two years of applying and pretty much giving up all hope, I was finally accepted into the Physician Assistant program!

Here's the catch...

It's in New York. And I have to be there by August 12, 2024.

What this means for you:
I am working hard to find an excellent massage therapist to refer you to, or even bring into my space. I will keep you updated on this process as I continue my search. I apologize for not having someone already in place. (I really didn't think I would get in!) If you know, or see another massage therapist that you believe does an excellent job, I would love to get in contact with them before I leave.

As of now, I am no longer taking appointments after August 9th. (I know, that's so soon!) Contact me to make sure you get in one last time before I leave. My schedule has been blocked off, but if you message me, we may be able to find a time that works for both of us to get you in.

* If you have gift certificates or bundled massages with me, please contact me so we can get those booked ASAP, otherwise I obviously will not be able to complete those massages.

I hope to help you again!
Once I complete my studies, I plan to return to Utah and continue serving the health and well-being of the local community. I'm sad to leave you, but hope to work with you again in the future! I will work on increasing my knowledge of body processes so that I can be more helpful to you. I hope this isn't a forever goodbye!

It has been an honor to serve you!
I truly believe I have the best clients! Thank you so much for supporting me and Pangaea Wellness. I have received such heart warming responses from my clients when I tell my news, and it has been such a beautiful and humbling experience. Leaving the business and relationships I have built, nurtured and loved is not easy, but seeing your excitement for me and my future has been such a blessing in this huge life transformation. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for this. I love you all and am so grateful for you!

Thank you for reading!

July Newsletter

Can you believe it's already JULY?! Summer is in full swing and it's time to play!
Here's what's happening at Pangaea Wellness this month...

Extended Promotion

You still have a chance for a discount!
Did you miss the "Blooming Promotion" in June? You still have a chance to get a discounted massage!

Fill out the Blooming Survey and leave a Google Review for $10 off a massage and enhancements!*

*Please leave a note while booking your massage, indicating you completed the criteria.

Discounts may be applied with others, for a maximum of $20 off a massage.
Discounts may be applied to enhancements.

Policies

Please remember Pangaea's policies
With it being summer, a lot of activities and hobbies are in demand for our attention. As with every summer, I expect things to come up and you will need to reschedule or cancel your massage. To protect my time, I am going to be a bit more strict with my policy and fees should circumstances arise. Please keep note of the following policies:

- Cancellation Policy: Cancellation of any appointment must be received at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise 50% of the appointment fee is due immediately.

- No Show Policy: In the case of not showing up for an appointment, 100% of the service cost is due immediately.

New Recurring Massage Policy

Pangaea's New Recurring Appointments Policy
I know that summer disrupts everyone’s daily routine, so I understand that clients may have to reschedule their recurring massages more frequently during this time. However, I found myself in the difficult position of having to reschedule appointments and then trying to shift my schedule around to get back into a weekly or monthly routine.

If you need to reschedule a recurring massage, all your other massages will stay on the original date, unless we have arranged otherwise.

I have also had more clients interested in setting up recurring massages, and having a hard time finding a good time slot. Because of this, I have created a new policy for recurring massages:

Scheduled recurring massages missed more than 3 times in a row will result in a discontinuation of automatic rescheduling until discussed and reinstated between both parties.

Spiritual Wellness

The 8 dimensions of wellness
The different aspects of wellness can be divided into 8 categories: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, financial, social, occupational, and environmental. When one of these elements is neglected, it affects every other part of your life.

Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness is one of the eight dimensions that impact overall health and wellness. Spiritual wellness involves the search for purpose and meaning in the human experience. This dimension may manifest as a belief in a higher power, but spiritual wellness does not have to be associated with organized religion. It encourages you to participate in activities that are consistent with your beliefs and values.

Suggestions to promote spiritual wellness:
- Connect with your faith community
- Volunteer or help others
- Practice yoga
- Meditate
- Spend time in nature
- Focus on your hobbies
- Speak with a chaplain or someone you trust

Thank you all for reading!
I hope you all have a fantastic month!

Emotional Wellness

The 8 dimensions of wellness
The different aspects of wellness can be divided into 8 categories: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, financial, social, occupational, and environmental. When one of these elements is neglected, it affects every other part of your life.

Emotional Wellness
Emotional wellness is one of the 8 dimensions that influence overall health and well-being. This dimension includes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and respect for your personal feelings and values. It includes how positive and enthusiastic you are about yourself and life. It encourages people to acquire the knowledge and skills to manage emotions in a constructive way. The National Institutes of Health explain emotional wellness as “the ability to successfully handle life’s stresses and adapt to change and difficult times” (NIH, 2018).

Suggestions to promote emotional wellness:
- Start a regular meditation practice.
- Meet with a therapist or life coach on a regular basis.
- Keep a journal.
- Practice mindfulness and being aware of your emotions.
- Create a gratitude practice.
- Take a few minutes for yourself a day.

Small Business Shout-out

Nathan Brown is a wonderful client and friend of mine who has been getting massages from me since 2010! He has such a beautiful way with words and is finally ready to publish his novel Drownfire (https://mailchi.mp/ecf36aae0fb1/drownfire?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1XB6NkeuH4BW3ci1K-xse6KeW-lR2ZoUOs7pLdAqTAgVbRF9TbQncIiGw_aem_ARUXQ_mTo7l_6O15RumpdYkY-BhkIR7tO4pbuKwDS7hi6YyU3UlMu5bIY4mJh9JmALB34nHmXxDhT22yzbleKfsd) !

"So, why did I write Drownfire? I wanted my kids to embrace being weird.
It started when I realized that my kids were being encouraged to suppress some unique talents in places outside our home. I wanted to write a story set in a world where one way of doing things was considered 'right,' using the story to prove that combining different ways of doing things can work better." - Nathan Brown

Physical Wellness

The 8 dimensions of wellness
The different aspects of wellness can be divided into 8 categories: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, financial, social, occupational, and environmental. When one of these elements is neglected, it affects every other part of your life.

Physical Wellness
Physical wellness is one of the 8 dimensions that contribute to overall health and wellness. This dimension focuses on taking care of your body, to stay healthy now and in the future. It covers all areas of health related to the physical aspects of the body. It encourages people to be more body-aware, stay active, and learn about nutrition and diet, and discourages harmful behaviors such as smoking or excessive drinking.

Suggestions to promote physical wellness:
- Achieve 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week.
- Be mindful of the nutritional value of the food you eat.
- Get 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
- Practice self-massage and receive routine professional bodywork.
- Create a mindful stretching routine.
- Drink half your body weight in ounces a day.

April Newsletter

Warmer days are just ahead and I am HERE for it!
Here's a quick update on what is going on with Pangaea...

On a personal note...

My personal delimma
As you may have noticed I have rather dropped the ball this last year on newsletters and social media posts. This has been in part due to my uncertainty of what lies ahead in my future. You may be aware that I have been attempting to be accepted into a Physician Assistant Program over the last 2 years, and I have been put on a waitlist for a graduate program out of state. No, I have not heard whether I got in yet. :( I may be waiting up until August of this year, which puts me in a hard position for my business.

I have decided I can no longer let this potential life change hold me back from continuing to work on transitioning Pangaea Wellness into the vision I have for it.

This next quarter I will be working diligently on creating and providing more value for my clientele and community. Please bare with me as I make some changes.
I would greatly appreciate feedback, ideas or advise that you are willing to give!

8 Dimensions of Wellness

What is "wellness"?
Wellness can be defined in many ways. Think about how you would define wellness. The Global Wellness Institute defines it as "the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health." Wellness is not limited to purely physical or emotional aspects, but to several other elements as well. To achieve optimum wellness, there must be a balance in every dimension of our lives.

Pangaea's Model
Pangaea is dedicated to improving the quality of lives of others. I have chosen the "8 Dimensions of Wellness" as a model for the desire to accomplish this mission. The 8 dimensions Pangaea chooses to recognize are emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and financial.

I will describe what each dimension entails, and how we can improve in each dimension in the following months. If you are interested in learning more, I recommend you read this study, published in the National Library of Medicine;
Dimensions of Wellness: Change your habits, change your life.
