It is time to publicly announce that I will be closing Calliope Massage Studio in it's current form on March 19, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It's been a great 7 years, and while I am sad about losing the connections I've made with you all over the years, this is a decision that I am ultimately excited about. It is time to embark on a new chapter, and help people in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having to close during the beginning of the pandemic put a lot of things in perspective. It made me acutely aware of the vulnerability of an in-person, service based business, and the time and energy spent navigating the increased level of risk for my clients, myself, and my family does not feel sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That closure also pushed me to start a second business, Calliope Insights, helping small businesses like mine create and communicate with website development, branding, and written content and helping touch-based businesses make their practices more trauma informed. Rather than giving only half my energy and time to each- I'm ready to focus on one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so grateful I was able to reopen this last year and reconnect with so many of you and to meet many new folks as well. I appreciate you all so much. I've really enjoyed getting to know you, and I value the the pieces of yourselves and your lives that you've shared with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that you continue to incorporate massage therapy in your life. I will have a number of vetted referrals listed on my website as our time comes to a close, and I will continue to be available to make more specific referrals if you reach out looking for something in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those of you in touch-based businesses, I am now available as a consultant to support you in making your practice more trauma-informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Massage should feel good, helpful, and positive (or at least neutral).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light pressure and heavy pressure have the same therapeutic value, it just matters what feels good to your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your experience should be the ultimate determining factor in a massage session. Find someone who respects your feedback, and works 'with' you, not 'on' you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rest assured, I will continue taking appointments until March 19- so I'm not done yet. I will also remain available for questions, recommendations, and consulting after that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you again for your time, your trust, and your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
