Paradise Spa at the Inn at Mazatlan. Que Bueno!

Vacations are wonderful! Especially the ones that find you on a beautiful beach in Mazatlan, Mexico. This was my first time in Mexico and I must say that I don't think I could have asked for a better experience to introduce me to the best this country has to offer. The Inn at Mazatlan was a great place to stay. It was right on the beach near peddlers of fresh oysters and also close to a main street where many wonderful kinds of tacos could be found to eat. For those who aren't adventurous, the hotel's on-site restaurant offered high quality food, but I guarantee if you didn't try the locals' quesadillas al Pastor, Sinaloa style ceviche, or smoked Marlin tacos, you were missing out!

Besides eating tacos, exploring Mazatlan's old town, and relaxing on the beach, visiting the hotel's Paradise Spa was definitely on the agenda. After all, what's a vacation without a little professional pampering? I was delighted to find that the prices for spa services were very reasonable! They offered me a package that included a massage, manicure, and pedicure which I immediately snatched up. A woman named Cuca did all three starting with the massage which was wonderful. Often when I visit a spa, I don't book a massage because they can tend to be too light and "foofy." Not Cuca's! She gave a nice firm and very thorough massage that seemed longer than the 50 minutes allotted. When my body was sufficiently "noodled out," I sat down in my robe for my manicure and pedicure. My fingers looked all neat and clean and my toenails shimmered a bright coral color when she was finished. What a fabulous afternoon!

After the good experience I had with the massage package, I couldn't resist booking the Mayan Chocolate Therapy for the next day. Who wouldn't want to be covered in chocolate from head to toe? My friend Kristen(pictured above) and I arrived together, she for the massage/manicure/pedicure experience and I for the chocolatey body wrap and we were escorted to the steam room where we relaxed and chatted while our pores opened up in preparation for the pampering. Then it was on to our separate treatment rooms where we would experience true bliss.

My treatment started with an ex-foliating rub-down where the rich chocolate aromas began. My skin tingled with delight and I deeply inhaled to enjoy the sweet smell. When my skin was properly buffed, I was instructed to hop into the shower to rinse off. Then the real fun began. Cuca began painting my body with thick, dark brown chocolate. When hardly any white patches remained, she wrapped me up in a heating cocoon of blankets to allow the chocolate to absorb into my skin. She gave me a nice scalp massage before leaving me for a while to relish my choco-tranquility. This was all incredibly relaxing and I found myself dozing off into a dream-like state. Another shower to rinse the chocolate off was then followed by a nice massage done with a chocolate/hazelnut scented lotion. Total treatment time: 90 minutes.

So why would chocolate be good for the skin? Well there are two reasons. First, chocolate has moisturizing properties that soften the skin. This is most likely due to the cocoa butter. Second, the anti-oxidants in chocolate are great for fighting free-radicals and may result in smoothing wrinkles. My favorite reason to be covered in chocolate is that I get to smell like dessert for the rest of the day. Yum!

I would certainly recommend the Paradise Spa at the Inn at Mazatlan to anyone who enjoys such indulgences. They were friendly, clean, professional, and offered an incredible value! I have spent a lot more for less in other spas and felt that the quality of the experience in Mexico surpassed some the more expensive treatments I have received here in the States. I am grateful to the staff for being a part of what was a wonderful Mexican vacation and I hope to visit again soon!

Support Me in the Bike MS 150 Benefiting the Multiple Sclerosis Society

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic and very often disabling disease that attacks the Central Nervous System and interferes with the brain's ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Symptoms vary depending on the amount of damage and which nerves are affected but can become severe enough to cause paralysis, blindness and even cause a person to lose their ability to walk or speak. The disease is most commonly diagnosed in women between the ages of 20 and 40 who must learn to cope with the disease for the rest of their lives.

This frustrating disease has baffled doctors and patients for years. In the 1940's research was almost non-existent and there was a horrible lack of treatment options. Since the Multiple Sclerosis Society was formed in 1946, they have fueled research projects in pursuit of prevention, treatment, and a cure. We have come a long way, but still have a long way to go in understanding and conquering MS.

As a Massage Therapist, there is only so much I can do to help those who suffer from MS and I would like to do more to help them by riding with Team 24 Hour Fitness in the Bike MS 150 in Logan, Utah June 26th and 27th, 2010 to support the Multiple Sclerosis Society and help fund their research projects. But I can't do it alone! I need your support! I will be accepting cash, check, and online donations from now until the day of the ride. Make all checks payable to National MS Society and email me at jennilmt-bikems@yahoo.com for the mailing address. To make online donations, visit my personal page at bikeutu.nationalmssociety.org Remember that even the smallest donations will help me reach my goal and they are tax deductible, so don't hesitate. Do what you can!

Thanks for your support! Jenni Curtis, LMT massagebyjenni.com

"The Smile on My Forehead: Memoir of My Life With a Brain Injury" by Jennifer Mosher

When I first encountered Jennifer Mosher, she was just another woman in my classes at the gym. I'd see her most every week and we, along with several other gym members, would sweat out an hour of weight lifting and an hour of spin class. I had no idea that there was anything different about her until the teacher announced one day that her book, a memoir about her brain injury, had been published. I was intrigued because I had no idea she'd had a serious injury in the past and as someone who enjoys reading and writing, I can appreciate the work that must have gone into it. I knew I was interested in purchasing her book not only to read it, but also to show my support.

As I began to read Jennifer's memoir, I was taken into her world; a world not unlike my own. She was a good student and a hard worker on her way to a bright future. There was no warning that a horrible car accident would take place while she traveled from her home in Minnesota back to school at BYU in August of 1994. Those few quick seconds would change her life and take her beyond the familiar into a world I have never before stopped to contemplate. All those everyday abilities we take for granted were things Jennifer had to fight to regain: walking, talking, sleeping, remembering things that had happened only moments before. The frustration and the determination she must have had, I can only imagine.

I was struck by the incredible things Jennifer was able to achieve in the short years after her brain injury. She threw herself headlong back into her life doing her best to makes things as close to the way they were before her accident as possible. I thought about how devastating it would be to remember the person you were before a brain injury and have that person just vanish, replaced by someone less able. Jennifer was compelled to accept what had happened to her, and rather than force herself to go back to the way she was she instead had to learn to live with her disability.

We can all learn from her experience. Those who have suffered a brain injury will relate to Jennifer's story and gain insight into to what it takes to recover and live a full life. Those who haven't can gain understanding into what challenges those with brain injuries must face and a greater appreciation for the things we all take for granted in life.

If you are interested in reading Jennifer's book, The Smile on My Forehead: Memoir of My Life With a Brain Injury, please visit JenniferMosher.com. Jennifer will also be featured in the Local Author Showcase at The Kings English Bookshop Tuesday April 6th, 2010 at 6:30pm where you can meet her along with other local authors. More information available at KingsEnglish.com

On the same subject, check out another great book called Tour De Life by Saul Raisin, an up and coming cyclist who suffered a brain injury during a race and struggled to return to his goal of riding in the Tour De France. Check it out here Tour De Life along with Saul's personal website SaulRaisin.com where you'll learn about his foundation Raisin Hope.

Social Networking at Tahoe's Snowcial

MySpace, Facebook, Twitter were all once nothing more than a twinkle on the horizon. Now they are household names and even Grandma has a Facebook account. Some might say these are nothing more than new ways to waste a lot of time, like playing Solitaire or Bejeweled. But business people are beginning to see Social Networking sites as an incredible resource and a powerful tool for not only marketing themselves and building a professional network but also for feedback and a way to have direct access to consumers.

As a massage therapist running my own practice, I have definitely discovered the value of using social networking as an inexpensive way to promote myself in my community. It works well for me because all I really have to do is be myself and engage with people. When someone needs a massage, they feel more comfortable choosing someone they know over a random person from a directory or Craigslist ad. When I run a special, I can post it and link through Twitter and Facebook to instantly reach hundreds of potential clients. The important thing is to refrain from spamming and be real. People don't want to pay attention to a cyber robot who spews about the products it's selling. We will pay attention to someone who seems to have something of real value to offer us and won't just be more white noise for us to tune out.

All of these ideas and more were openly discussed in January at the 2010 Tahoe Snowcial. Snowcial is a gathering of all kinds of professionals interested in technology, social networking, and snow sports. Hosted by Heavenly Resort and Harrah's Hotel and Casino we were treated to a variety of events designed to get us to network with each other, talk shop, and have a little fun in the process. We enjoyed a half-day conference with speakers who broadened our understanding of how to use social media and the internet to our best benefit. The keynote speaker was MC Hammer who surprisingly had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. Beyond that, we also did a little partying, saw MC Hammer perform live, and spent our days on the slopes of Heavenly Ski Resort even doing a scavenger hunt which was a riot! Not only was the weekend fun, but I found it to be very valuable to my business. It was a wonderful experience and a good use of my time. I not only recommend Tahoe Snowcial to business professionals who enjoy playing in the snow, but I also recommend that small business owners like me look into utilizing social networking sites and building an online presence. This is certainly the way of the future.

Peace and Calming in San Francisco

I'm not really a city girl unless the city is surrounded by mountains, but now that I've visited San Francisco twice and spent some time there, I find myself falling in love with the place. The tall buildings are more comforting than claustrophobic and the fresh crab on the wharf is the most perfect food known to man. What I found tucked between the towering buildings in a space in the heart of downtown where people hurry past most of the day never thinking to stop was a pleasant surprise and a wonderful bubble of serenity I was happy and relieved to find after my previous day's adventure which led me to walk the entire way across the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Spa Bar is a full service spa located on 2nd Street near Lombard with a classy yet unassuming storefront that, once inside, opens up into a spacious upscale retreat complete with an oxygen bar, salon, and quiet treatment rooms enjoyed by entering through a private door at the rear.

I had an appointment with Paula for a 90 minute Thai Massage, something I'd never tried before. I've heard it's like assisted yoga done on a mat on the floor and have been curious about it for quite sometime. Paula is actually from Thailand and received her massage training there and she explains to me that she has developed a Thai massage hybrid where she incorporates Thai style techniques with traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Sports Massage which I am more familiar with. I will be on a massage table rather than on a mat on the floor and I will be undressed and draped with a sheet rather than remaining clothed as is typical with a traditional Thai Massage. She says she likes doing it this way better. Should be interesting!

The combination proves to be magic. Paula uses luxurious warm oils and gliding strokes fused with deep muscle manipulation and clever movements of my limbs I've never experienced before. She drapes my body effortlessly with the sheet, often using it to position my legs and arms in various stretches while leveraging my limbs against her own body to apply pressure to my muscles and traction the joints. I am aware of her climbing on and off the table many times throughout my massage as she artfully composes her native Thai style into a complete stress reliever with the aggressiveness to really work out all my kinks. I'd say she beat me up in a good way and pampered me all at the same time. There were moments I wondered, "How did she do that?" when she'd use her petite body to move mine into a position. At one point she was actually underneath me on the table stretching my entire body into an arched position. I have no idea how she got there, but it was seamless.

When the massage was over, I was given tea and sent to wander back out into the city in my blissed out state. With a calm smile on my face, I walked to the nearby Museum of Modern Art, ordered a spinach salad and a glass of wine at the cafe and then strolled peacefully through the sculptures, paintings, and photographs on display there. It was ones of those days in the city where you think to yourself, "I could get used to this." And I really think I could get used to all the fine art, culture, and food mixed with the grittiness and raw humanity that is the city of San Francisco.

Black Friday Massages for Christmas - One Day Gift Certificate Special!

The scramble to find the perfect Christmas gift has begun! Friday is the big day where everyone looks for all the best deals and attempts to finish their shopping ahead of the game in more ways than one! I've never offered a "Black Friday" special before so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Do I really need to tell you that massage gift certificates make fabulous gifts? Well, if for some reason you are unaware, allow me to point out that a therapeutic massage is not only incredibly pampering and enjoyable, but also an amazing health practice for all those who want to feel better and increase the quality of their lives. For those who need to manage pain, it can even be a saving grace! I've been giving massages for over 10 years and I've seen the smiles of thousands of grateful souls who were happy to have a good therapist come into their world. I've even been known to say that spreading massage to all the corners of the earth could very well be the answer to world peace.

So now you know and you'll be happy to find that for one day only, I'm offering my 1-2 hour massage gift certificates for 1/2 price.* That's $30 for an hour, $47.50 for 90 minutes, and $55 for 2 hours. Limit 4 certificates per customer.

Massage in 3-D!

This month I would like to spotlight my unique 3-D massage! Because people aren't paper dolls, I've started offering a 3 hour long 4-sided massage. This massage is hands down the most complete massage I've ever given and it has become popular among many of my clients who feel that devoting 3 hours of their time to a massage is well worth it!

In the last year or so, I've started turning clients on their sides in order to be able to work the body from another angle. I have found this to be very effective in working a variety of muscle groups more thoroughly. Specifically, work on the legs and hips from a side posture has produced incredible results for many of my clients who need extra attention paid to those areas. In fact, I haven't found a better way to work the adductor muscles of the legs (inner thigh muscles) or the IT band (Illiotibial fascia band of the outer thigh). Feedback so far has been amazing! Especially from runners, bikers, hikers, and skiers. I've also found that men who complain of pelvic pain associated with prostate issues have been able to enjoy some relief as a result of detailed work in the hips and upper legs.

Although you don't need a 3 hour massage to enjoy these new techniques I now offer, you will find that a much longer time frame will allow you to receive a full body massage from all angles which I always recommend over spot work on specific areas only. Every part of your body works together and if we address it as a whole, you will find you get better, longer lasting results from your massage. You'll be surprised to find out how quickly a 3 hour massage flies by!

For the month of November 2009, please enjoy $20 off all 3-D massages! That's only $140 for 3 hours of good body maintenance and pure enjoyment. Call me at 801*879*4173 for an appointment or book online at massagebyjenni.com.

Office Warming!

It's official! I am now practicing at Millcreek Wellness at 1550 E. 3300 S. Suite B. I look forward to welcoming all of my guests to my new place and I'm doing it with a little gift for everyone! During the month of October, purchase a one hour massage or longer and receive 30 minutes extra at no charge.* Come on in and help make my new office a home!

Call for an appointment at 801*879*4173
or book online at www.massagebyjenni.com

I'll see you all there!

*Receive 30 minutes free with the purchase of a full priced one hour massage or longer ($60 min) during the month of October 2009.

September Weekday Special!

During the month of September 2009, I am offering a special rate good every Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. During those hours enjoy $50 for your first hour and $40/hr thereafter.* So a 1 hour massage will be $50, 90 minute massages will be $70, 2 hours for $90, and so on. If you're a first time client, please take an additional one-time $10 off your total.

Call me for an appointment at 801*879*4173 or book online at MassageByJenni.com

*Special good for the month of September 2009. Regular rates apply nights (after 5pm) and weekends. Can be combined with first time client discount.

Change is in the Air

It's the season for change and Salt Lake's Premiere Massage Therapy Team™ will be seeing a lot of it in the next month. That's ok, we've been undergoing much change in the last year with Tiffeny moving to Boise and Eileen stepping in. Now it is time for us to turn a page and start a new chapter.

On September 30th, 2009 we will be saying goodbye to our studio at 1694 East 3300 South. We've really loved having our practice here, but due to circumstances beyond our control we will not be able to put our roots in like we'd hoped. As a result, our Team will be moving on and going in separate directions. This turn of events will not take away from our dedication to providing a quality service for our clients, however, and you can rest assured that the spirit of what Tiffeny and Jenni began will live on.

So what can you expect? During the month of September, we will be practicing in our old studio and gearing up for the move. Come October 1st, you'll be able to visit both Team members in their new separate locations which will be in very close proximity to our current one. We expect the transition to be seamless and Jenni and Eileen will be working together supporting each other through the move as well as in the future. That includes filling the demand for Four-hand Massages by guesting at each other's practices when needed.

Where are we going? Jenni has been invited by Dr. Cerami, a well respected chiropractor in the area to move her practice to a suite in his wellness center. Millcreek Wellness is located at 1550 East 3300 South within walking distance of the old location. Those of you familiar with Diva's coffee shop (the building with the greenhouse dome) will know exactly where it is as they share a parking lot. Jenni's office will be located downstairs in Suite B, accessed by a door on the west side of the building. The space is quiet and serene and has a shower for the use of clients. She will also be training to begin performing Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy which will be offered to patients of Dr. Cerami. Jenni is excited about this opportunity and anticipates this change to be a positive one. In addition, Jenni will continue to offer the same menu of services her clients have come to enjoy.

Eileen will be moving her private practice to an office plaza located at 970 East and 3300 South. She will be occupying a suite of two rooms (#G and #I) which will serve as her office in Hallway 7 of the plaza. She is happy to be able to offer her clients the same great bodywork and affordable rates in this convenient location. Give Eileen a call if you have any questions about her transition at 801*574*1325.

Thanks to all of our clients who have made Salt Lake's Premiere Massage Therapy Team™ such a great success! We hope you will continue to "Experience Quality Massage" in our new locations and we look forward to new horizons!

Relay for Life a Success!

First of all, let me take a moment to thank all of you who have donated to support me in the Relay for Life benefiting the American Cancer Society. I had no idea how much I'd be able to raise and have been amazed at the generosity of friends, family members, and clients who have stepped up to the plate. I have exceeded expectations and reached several goals only to aim higher. It seems so many of us have been affected by this disease and so it really hits close to home.

For those of you who have yet to donate, you'll be happy to know that I can still accept donations through Monday August 31st, even thought the Relay is over. Please go to my personal page and donate whatever amount you are comfortable with. http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jenni_lmt

The Relay itself was a great experience! I recommend getting involved next year if you haven't done so. The event itself is a lot of fun. As a team you can choose to walk, run, or ride in the Relay. It's not a race, just take turns going out on the courses and enjoy the day. As Team Sugar, we chose to ride our mountain bikes on the course laid out for us in Round Valley near the Quinn's Junction recreational complex. The course wasn't too difficult, but we all got a good workout and had a lot of fun riding it. We each did about 2 or 3 laps of the course.

When we weren't out on the course, we enjoyed the live music, great food, and the events inside on the ice rink. We could mingle with other teams as well as each other and just enjoy being outside working together for a good cause. I set up my massage chair and did some 10 minute massages to benefit the American Cancer Society as well. After sunset, there was the Ceremony of Hope and the lighting of the luminaria which were all decorated by individuals who wished to honor the memory of someone who had succumbed to cancer or to celebrate those who have survived as well as support those still battling the disease. It was very moving to see the lighted bags along the walkway for us to wander past and acknowledge.

I am so happy to have been a part of this experience. I hope that my efforts will help in some small way all of those who have been diagnosed with cancer or will in the future. May our struggles honor those we've lost and give hope to those still here on the battle field.

Relay for Life Benefiting the American Cancer Society

I'm really excited to be joining Team Sugar August 29th in the Relay for Life in Park City to benefit the American Cancer Society. Cancer is a disease that has affected all of us in some way, including me so I encourage anyone who can to support Relay for Life.

There are several ways to get involved. The simplest way is to donate. Even $5 will help, so go to my personal Relay for Life web page and click "donate" to give an online donation. My Personal Page. If you'd prefer not to donate online, there is an "offline donation" form you can print out located at the bottom of my page which will allow you to mail a check. If you're feeling frisky, join our Team and run, walk, or ride the course with us on August 29th.

If you have a loved one you'd like to honor, the luminaria may be a good option for you. There will be a Luminaria Ceremony of Hope at sunset where illuminated bags will honor those who have either fallen to or survived cancer. For $10 you can dedicate on of these luminarias which include a personalized message for the person you want to honor.

If nothing else, join us at the Quinn's Junction Recreation Complex in Park City for a day of fun. The day's events begin at noon and go until midnight and include figure skating performances, a public open skate, hockey games, and Skating with the Stars featuring legendary 5-time Olympic speed skating gold medalist and professional cyclist Dr. Eric Heiden, plus USA Hockey Level 4 coach and Brown University Captain/All Ivy Team superstar Bob Devaney.

I would like to dedicate my efforts to long time client Nancy Roush who passed away recently after battling cancer for 10 long years. She will be remembered and missed.

Double the Therapy, Twice the Relaxation!

It's August and time for a brand new special! This month we're lowering the price on our "Pure Luxury Four Hands" massage. This is one of our most decadent treatments and for this month will only run you $80/hr (reg $100/hr). Your session can be as long as 90 minutes which would be the equivalent of receiving 3 hours of bodywork in half the time.

The "4-Hands" massage has long been a favorite among our clients who love to find better ways to relax and is a must try for every fan of massage. It features both members of our Team working in unison on the body to create a massage experience that will blow you away! We combine both targeted and focused work with soothing tandem strokes that send you into another world. You'll have your scalp and feet massaged simulaniously along with elements of Aromatherapy, Reflexology, steamed towels, and a taste of Hot Stone massage which are all a part of making this experience sublime. We invite you to put yourself in our hands and let us lull you into a state of bliss with a symphony of bodywork.

Call either Team member to schedule your appointment...
