Have you ever wondered what happens during a massage intake session? If you’re new to therapeutic massage or curious about what to expect, I’m here to walk you through the entire process from your arrival to the end of your treatment. Understanding this first step can help you feel more comfortable and confident when you book your first Las Vegas massage appointment with me.

Getting a chance to work backstage at Cirque du Soleil is a rare and thrilling opportunity. I was lucky enough to do it twice, and each time it felt like stepping into a world where athleticism, artistry, and discipline come together in perfect harmony.

Last month I was lucky enough to fly to NYC and celebrate my bestie's birthday and meet up with friends. This wasn’t a business trip. It wasn’t educational. It was joy-forward, connection-heavy, nervous-system-approved self-care. We saw "Chess, the Musical," which just re-opened on Broadway. It's her fave. It was my first Broadway show (yes, I know. Somehow I made it this far without Broadway. Look at me grow.)

Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announced the opening of her new massage studio inside Beauty & Bodyworks Studios at 9550 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 237. The studio is located within Silverado Park Place, home to community anchor businesses including BJ's Restaurant and Big 5 Sporting Goods.

I just completed the AMTA Continuing Education course Ethics and the Power Differential, created by massage therapy educator Kathy Ginn, LMT. This course counts toward the NCBTMB Ethics requirement and it sharpened my awareness of what it means to ethically lead the client-practitioner therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right place to welcome clients is important. I chose the Silverado Park Place in Henderson because it offers convenience, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere. The shopping center is located just off the 215 on S. Eastern Avenue, making it easy to reach from many parts of the city.

Like any business, attracting new clients in the massage industry requires a clear strategy that focuses on well-defined goals, a deep understanding of client needs, and effective marketing techniques.
