I often remind folks in class that yoga not only makes our body flexible, but it also creates a suppleness and flexibility in our mind, heart, and spirit. It is that flexibility that allows us to step into changing circumstances with positive energy and grace.

And, so, with that sense of flexibility comes the following news: As of May 19, I will be moving my massage practice full-time to Madison, Virginia.

For the past 5 years, I have split my massage practice in two offices — in Madison and in Orange. But, as many of you know, for the past 9 months, my Orange colleagues and I have been seeking a new home for our massage therapy practice … and for the past 6 of those months we have been in temporary quarters that have been functional, but quirky. (And, I believe that “quirky” is being kind all the way round.)

I’m continuing to explore opportunities in Orange, but beginning May 19, my massage practice will move full-time to Madison.

This means many good things for you!

First, my Madison office will be moving to a dedicated treatment room upstairs from the current MountainWood office in the Perl Building (108 Schoolhouse Road, just a half-block from Main Street). That means my hot stones and other therapies will be all in one place for you. (If stairs are an issue for you, don’t worry — I will still have access to the main floor treatment space to make things easy.)

Second, with the dedicated treatment room and reduction in time that I have typically spent shuttling between Orange and Madison (sometimes a couple times a day), I will have more of my day available for your sessions and more convenient times.

Third, I’ll still offer Saturday sessions!

I know that this will mean a few extra driving minutes for some clients, but I hope that the benefits of a therapeutic and healing massage will outweigh the additional time it might take you to get to me. (Madison is just a quick 14-mile drive from the town of Orange.)

I will miss being in Orange (although my Orange yoga classes will continue on Wednesdays). But, for now, this is where the universe is guiding me. I certainly look forward to feeling settled with all my massage things in one space!

I will keep you posted and look forward to seeing you in my new space soon.
