Big Announcement: New Space!

I've hinted at this in a few posts but have yet make an announcement. (Though I have let it slip to several of my best clients. Who are probably the ones that actually read the blog. Indulge me anyway...)

In May we will be expanding once more. One year ago we were preparing to add a physical location to our housecall-only massage business. Six months ago (ish) we added facials and chemical peels. And now, a year later, we are expanding to a larger office.

We will be in the exact same building. There will be no inconvenience to our clients with this move because of that. We wanted more space but weren't sure if we could find something close to our current Gulf Gate location.

Lo and behold, the massage therapist that was in the front office suddenly decided to move back to California. I jumped at the chance to increase our square footage.

One of our therapist friends joked, "So Lizz, you're coming out of the closet!" I had to laugh. Our office is the perfect size for massage. It's just big enough for our table, an area for client comfort with a place for hanging up clothes, and a large cabinet unit that has all of our equipment. For facials, massages, chemical peels, body treatments, and our new blended treatments, however, it was getting a bit small. In other words, it's about the size of a very large walk-in closet.

And we're coming out!

Jay and I will be taking over a space that is more than twice as large as what we currently have. There are two rooms. The front has a lovely tile floor and a huge window. (I've made about a dozen suncatchers already!) The second room is carpeted.

We will be using the front room for skin care consultations or for treatments if the second room is booked. (It's large enough to do a massage if we utilize shelves rather than furniture, other than the small table and chairs.) I may keep one of our massage chairs in their for walk-ins. I haven't decided yet.

The large room can fit two massage tables and we will be using it for couples massage, or with one table for individual treatments.

I can't wait!

I'll be posting pictures of the progress we're making. Many of you that started seeing us last year this time in our office remember how we transformed it. I'll probably post before and after pictures of that as well.

I'm so excited!
