Staff Update

As many of you noticed, our receptionist Mary Ann Petrie had been having some health challenges over the past few months. She is now feeling better, and is able to return to work at Healing Arts Center. Thank you all for your positive thoughts and concerns!

Massage Therapist Jennifer Skidmore suffered a severe automobile accident back in April. We have had many calls from concerned clients regarding her progress. The following is her personal message for all of you.

“Many of you know I was in a car accident April 9th. I had several injuries. The most severe were some internal injuries, a broken leg, and 2 fractured vertebrae. Thanks to everyone for your keeping me in your thoughts. I'm doing really well in my recovery. I'm very fortunate that the injuries I sustained were all fixable and did not take long to heal from. I plan on returning to work sometime in the beginning of July. I'm really looking forward to it! Can't wait to get back to normal. I feel so fortunate that this road to recovery has been quick and that my dear sweet husband was able to return from Kuwait and stay home to take care of us. We are truly blessed. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer! Looking forward to returning to the center to see everyone!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Skidmore

While Jennifer is recovering, there is no need to go without your massage! May we suggest one of our other well-qualified therapists to help keep you relaxed and feeling well while Jennifer is rehabilitating.

Of Special Interest

We now can offer to those of you who enjoy Oriental Therapies a very exceptional and well-qualified Shiatsu & Thai Massage Therapist! Craig Parian has had extensive training at the International School of Shiatsu. He is currently a Shiatsu Instructor at the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage. He offers authentic Shiatsu and Thai Massage on Wednesdays at Healing Arts Center. If you have not experienced these Asian therapies, they are performed on a mat on the floor over loose-fitting clothing. They include stretching, compression and acupressure along the muscles and meridians. The treatment is relaxing, meditative and invigorating. I hope you will take advantage of Craig’s expertise while he is offering these treatments at Healing Arts Center! For more information: http://www.evolvingshiatsu.com/what.html
