Health Considerations
Updated May, 2026
Dear Clients, Family, Friends and Supporters,
It has been a year since my hip replacement surgery and I continue my process of returning to pre surgery and pre pain onset condition. My practice is open and I am again appreciating being able to serve my amazing clients health and wellbeing interests. Please reach out via email should you wish to get onto my schedule. Thank you all for your support and for allowing me the opportunity to serve your health and wellness interests through massage.
COVID, RSV and the Flu remain a risk.
I am continuing to mask in order to manage my personal risk and the risk of those with whom I interact. Clients have choice to mask or not during a session. I continue with my infection prevention and safety practices. I am maintaining extra time between sessions to allow for clearing the air between sessions, to minimize risk and support masking choices. I encourage everyone to minimize exposure opportunities.
If you feel at all ill, please stay home! I will do the same.
If you travel, please be sure to schedule sessions at least 5 – 10 days after you return from your trip.
We make a difference for each other. I am committed to protecting the mutual health and well being interests of each client, their families along with myself and my family.
Cinnamon is sending warm snuggles and play bows to all. She may occasionally join me at the office though far less often than in the past as she ages she is appreciating her leisurely lifestyle. She would only be there if all clients for the day are okay with her presence and while in the office, she’s in her pup pen, snoozing during sessions. You’re encouraged to ignore her when arriving to help her maintain best manners. If her presence is a concern or issue please let me know and she will remain home the day of your session. Warmly, Dawn
Ride the winds as they blow in the four directions,
catch the updrafts, aspire
explore with support and respect,
embrace your soul
and let spirit take you…
The Four Winds – spirits of the North. Each of the four winds represents one of the cardinal directions. In my business each wind also represents a different aspect of my work.
East – Massage/Bodywork
South – Education
West – Consulting
North – Art with Spirit
These focus areas are my passions. They fill my heart, mind and body each in their own unique way. I share these passions and invite you to take flight exploring the wind(s) of your choice.
My Vision
Embrace wholeness within and oneness with all.
My Mission

Value statements that support my mission:
• I believe in the profound healing power of touch as a mechanism for integrating body, mind and spirit.
