Sacred Waves Myofascial Release on Cape Cod

06/19/2024

This seems to be happening several times per week lately, so I find it necessary to share this reminder - especially for myself because I continually find myself not addressing it for fear of making people angry. And it does not serve my business (or my income) to overlook. So - deep breath to calm anxiety - here we go:

CANCELLATION & LATE ARRIVAL POLICY

While I understand that life does happen, please understand that I am a solo practitioner running a business. Late cancellations, last minute cancellations, and no shows negatively affect my income - regardless of the reason it occurred. In order to cultivate clarity, and ultimately a sense of ease and peace, it is important to create this reminder of SWCC’s policies and by creating an appointment with SWCC you agree to honor them:

CANCELLATION POLICY
A 24 hour notice is required to change/cancel an appointment.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may be required to pay a cancellation fee of 50% of the session fee.
Last minute cancellations or no call/ no shows will be responsible for the full session fee payable before rescheduling future appointments.
This also applies to appointments redeeming gift certificates: no call/no show and last minute cancellations will be applied thereby redeeming the gift certificate, or late cancellations will have half session fee deducted from the gift certificate balance, with balance being due upon usage of gc.
LATE ARRIVALS:
Time is not extended for late arrivals!!!
Sessions finish on time, and the full fee for the duration of the appointment scheduled will be due.
Price will not be reduced for a shortened session due to late arrival.!!!
For example, arriving 15 or 30 minutes late for an appointment booked as 90 minutes still requires full payment for the 90 minute session.

Hi friends! It has been one roller coaster of a summer. As many of you know, my office lease expired at the end of April, and my house has been for sale so I took some much needed time off. My house is still on the market, so while I am in the process of finding a new location to set up my practice, I am offering out calls on a limited basis only to established clients only (for my comfort and safety). Please give a call or text and we can make that happen 508-344-6372

When the big baby requests she be moved to under the head of the treatment table, she gets moved to under the head of the treatment table. Baby didn’t like being in the corner. I am a little nervous about the positioning, as she is pointed up towards me, but this is the way. So, wish me luck!

See you next week!
Here are some of the new procedures to maximize our safety:
✨Masks that cover your mouth and nose are required to entered the building and office suite. ✨They are required to be correctly worn for the duration of your appointment.
✨This is non negotiable! It is a state requirement for our safety.
✨Please wait in your car until 5 minutes before your appointment. The waiting room cannot be used.
✨Upon entry, shoes off, and wash hands.
✨Each visit, there will be a waiver that acknowledges the risk even with the cleaning protocol I use.
✨As much as I miss you, we need to keep the chatting and catching up to a minimum in order for me to perform the necessary sanitizing and airing of space between appointments. That means we make our next appointment and process payment (Sacred Waves accepts cash, check, and credit card!), then say goodbye.
✨Screening: if you have a fever, or any other of the extensive Covid symptoms, do not come in!
✨If you have been out of state or have had close contact with someone out of state within two weeks of your appointment - this includes family/friends visiting your home - do not come in!
✨Please do not risk the health of me, other clients, or my family.
✨I am sure more will be added.
✨I look forward to connecting with you again, dear friends!! It’s been a long few months without you, and you have been missed!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the colors of the cherry blossoms and leaves outside the office window this time of year. Enjoy their hypnotic sway in the breeze.

Well said.

The relationship to ground is so important. Unfortunately, many people don’t have a good relationship with the ground. The ground is not a safe place to be, either they have been thrown down, pinned down, for instance, a traumatic episode. So for that reason people may be prone—especially with a traumatic episode of Flight of Fight—people will spiral upward. That is why Kundalini yoga may sound attractive. “Oh good I can get out of where I am”. So people may not—as strange as it may sound—have good rapport with the ground.

So I think Savasana builds trust. When we did healing work, we had them feel their feet on the ground—basic. What does it feel to have the floor support you? So those are directives to bring the students back to presence, especially if they are reenacting something from their past. If there is disassociation, ground is so important. So on a healing level, when it comes to trauma, ground establishes trust. In nerves. In respiration. So in that sense it is really valuable for the student that they can let go.

You, I am sure, have had the student who is unwilling to close their eyes. They are so caught in activation response. Even though, okay, everyone is lying flat and I am going to talk you through it sweetly—let go of this, let go of that. They can’t. They are stuck in the on position. How do you encourage that student to find and trust the ground, to fall in love with solid ground? Do you know the poem “The Opening of Eyes” by David Whyte, the Scottish poet?

"That day I saw beneath dark clouds the passing light over the water and I heard the voice of the world speak out. I knew then as I had before life is no passing memory of what has been nor the remaining pages of a great book waiting to be read. It is the opening of eyes long closed, it is the vision of far off things seen from a silence they hold. It is the heart after years of secret conversing speaking out loud in the clear air. It is Moses in the desert fallen to his knees before the lit bush. It is the man throwing away his shoes as if to enter heaven and finding him self astonished open at last fallen in love with solid ground."

I always feel if I can get my students to fall in love with solid ground it allows people to be here—for whatever reason people are not here—here with a capital “H”.
