ABMP to Relocate- Massage Mag Article

ABMP to Relocate

ABMP has ended this year with many changes and in a sign of growth is moving into bigger facilities.
A revamped website with enhanced resources for its users as well as my new favorite a digital version of their Massage and Bodywork magazine are great ways to end this year.
If you are a member you most likely have also noticed a new section geared to helping bodyworkers deal with the changes effecting the economy. If you are not a member don't despair you can still read the magazine online as well as other articles and resources.
The positive and forward changes of ABMP is an example of more things to come next year and a great way to inspire us individually on going forward as well.

Monday Remedies

Olive Oil~

Yesterday when a double ear ache threatened my serenity a friend (whom I consider a natural health encyclopedia) suggested olive or garlic oil. I was quick to jump up and try it. Coincidentally, I stumbled across a little blurb on olive oil in my pile of interesting papers & well it was interesting.
When it comes to topical uses (other than on crusty bread with melted cheese and fresh basil-mmmm, I digress) I saw many commonsensical uses. Cuticle cream, skin moisturizer & using oil with a few drops of lavender on cotton balls for ear aches. I think I'll try that one tomorrow.

Does anyone have a favorite olive oil remedy of their own? Too bad it can't help my computer too!

Updates~

Hello again. More changes coming!
I am no longer working at Elements in Beverly. I will, however, be on call for a few weekends in December.
I can't believe how fast this year has gone and I'll miss working with other therapists as well as all the clients.
Both my coworkers and the clients taught me much not only about massage but about human spirit and our uniqueness.
Upcoming for next year~
Classes!
More details to follow.

In Elements news:
They're having a one year anniversary party on Friday December 4th from 4-8. There will be food, drinks and free chair massage! Also great discounts for the gift of massage. Hope to see you there. Go to the website for directions.
