What changes are you going to make in 2012?

I hope the holidays find you bright and excited to spend time with your family and friends! I know I am looking forward to unplugging and enjoying some rest and relaxation with my hubby.

Unfortunately the holidays can be overwhelming especially if you are working at a busy spa and you are exhausted from doing back to back massages. Or maybe you are working at a job that you don't like and you want to do more massage or spa services.Before I started my mobile spa business I would do back to back massages at a Beverly Hills spa. I would stash fruit and nuts under my massage table to eat in the five minutes between clients to keep my energy up! At the end of the day I would drag myself home feeling like a toxic waste dump. 

Can you relate? Are you working at a spa doing seven or more one hour massages without a break? Drop me a note here. I'd love to connect.

Hot stone massage set up in a mobile spa setting.

I found this very informational video on how to do hot stone massage along with the stones of choice and set up.
Check it out here  I love receiving hot stone massage and have figured out to do it in the mobile spa setting. Obviously I don't take a whole set of stones or the big heating unit as that would be too much to carry along with my massage table and sheets. I heat my stones (8-10) beforehand at home and keep them warm by wrapping them up in a digital heating pad -one that has a sleeve as that's where you are going to store your stones during transit. The heating pad is easy to roll up and keeps the stones warm until you are ready!

Take your time when interviewing potential contractors.

When you are interviewing contractors to work with you and your mobile spa business, have them drive to you and set up in your location. Why? You need to see how they set up, you can inspect their equipment and if they are willing to drive to you, you will discover how committed they are. Remember your contractors are the face of your business and they need to make a good first impression to you first so you will feel confident sending them out on appointments. If you have any questions or comments please leave a response here.
