Pause for You LLC

To all my special clients and friends, As you know, Georgia has announced permission for spas and massage businesses to reopen as of last Friday. Because I care about my clients’ safety and my safety as well, I don’t feel comfortable providing massage and bodywork services at this time. A number of factors have affected my decision, including the shortage of protective gear such as masks, gloves, disinfectant sanitizers and other items I require to perform my services safel...y. I will keep you informed of any further information regarding a reopening date. I do respect each person’s right to choose, so if you need a referral to another therapist during this time, please let me know. Right before the world became aware of the pandemic, I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to do some training to add to my services that is not directly related to massage and bodywork. It will be something new and interesting that can be done in person as well as on-line. I really look forward to sharing the services with you once everything is in place. To reflect the combination of these new services with my massage and bodywork business, I have recently changed the name of my business. It is now called Pause for You, LLC. Please note that my website, Facebook page etc. are all being updated to reflect this change. This may take a few weeks to complete so thank you for your patience. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns and enjoy all the beauty that the spring has to offer, even if it is only from your window.

I know by now that you probably have received tons of e-mails and social media messages regarding the crazy corona virus that we are all hiding from. I am guessing that for each of us, having to stay home is a different experience. While each person has their own feelings about the situation, I am sure some are finding it excruciating and stifling, while others are finding it liberating and freeing. Probably lots of other strong adjectives come to mind to describe this per...iod of social distancing. With all that being said, I hope you take time to Pause for You and do some of the things you always think of doing for yourself, but don’t. The struggle is trying to find balance between Pausing in a healthy manner verses yielding to the call of TV, social media, cooking, the kids, possibly working, definitely worrying and all the projects calling your name from the ‘to-do’ list. Taking the time for you will only allow you to be more present for yourself and for others. Implementing this more in my life is a daily challenge and a personal goal. As our feelings fluctuate vertically, horizontally and diagonally throughout the day, we all must acknowledge the great unknown. It makes it difficult to feel like we have some sense of control over our lives which is, as we know, an illusion. We are all going where we our generation have never been before: into the future without a map or GPS for direction. We have to take each day as it comes and try to be compassionate and gentle for everyone is in unchartered territory and nervous about the journey. I hope and pray that each of us can find new ways to Pause, smell the roses and find the beauty in small acts of external or internal kindness that you see in your family members or that you recognize even in your own thoughts toward yourself or others. Acknowledge them, savor them and then move on. Ultimately, I had just planned to write that I will be officially closing my Roswell Massage & Reflexology business until early April and will re-evaluate the situation at that point in time but I guess Pausing to think about my own internal struggle with closing brought up some stuff. And there you have it So for those of you that have read to the end of this post, what are you doing to Pause for You?

You can also use this technique up against a wall while standing which allows you to control the pressure and do lighter work, if needed. Great information!
