Healing Touch Massages by Ashley

Please remember it's bad for your hips and back to sit on your wallet. Or phone. 🧐 I see some of you sitting down with your phone in your back pocket.

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing the closing of my business. As of November 27th I will be closing my door. Until then I am by appointment only.

Please if you have any prepaids/packages/specials you have not used. Contact me about getting in this month.

Also if I have not reached out to you personally to let you know. Please know this was a very hard decision. And a huge adjustment for me. Massage has been my life/career/passion since high school. Letting go will be difficult. I want to thank so many of you for your some support throughout my 9 years working in Topeka. I was blessed to have massages for the last 14 1/2 years.

If you need help with referrals to other therapist in the area. Feel free to reach out.

Like many before, and many after. Small businesses try our hardest to make it day in and day out. Doing what we love, and serving our communities. You will always hear about all the good things happening to a small business, but never the struggle. And let's be real, any more the struggle is real. Small businesses tend to rely on a few things to make it. Advertising, word of mouth, and of course customers.
Advertising, that's the tricky one. Do you spend extra hours doing it yourself? Who has the time when you are already running a business. So you reach out to a company who specializes in advertising. In this particular case I was reached out too. After doing a little research, but clearly not enough. It sounded like a good opportunity. Until it was time for my article to print. Now if you know me, you know I am one of the most understanding people around. But you can only use some many excuses, before it's just that.
And here's what most businesses won't ever tell you. The bad. 😔 The part where someone ripped you off and got away with it. Or the struggle of bouncing back financially, and learning a hard lesson. Giving your hard earned money to a company in general is not an easy business move. But to face the reality that a company just stole from you, your business, and family is an entirely different reality.

Now that the bad is out of the way. The article proof that was written literally brought tears of joy. Someone who has never received a massage from me, wrote something amazing. And though it will never get published, I thought I would share it here for all to read.

Back to school is just around the corner. Come enjoy a relaxing massage before the school year starts!

Please note I DO NOT accept cards as a form of payment.

I accept cash or venmo.

Thank you for your continued support.

I start by educating my clients. Massage is a form of maintenance for the body. Our body is our home, the only home it can have, treat it to something amazing and beneficial.
Massage has been proven to help physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here's a list of the top 10 benefits

1) Relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression
2) Help manage pain, like fibromyalgia
3) Reduce muscle tension
4) Promote better sleep
5) Lower blood pressure
6) Increase range of motion
7) Help with posture, especially after sitting at a desk all day
8) Help boost the immune system
9) Increase circulation
10) Promotes relaxation
And so much more!

Treating your body to a massage can help improve your health and over all well being.

What's keeping you from adding massage to your self care routine?

That doom scrolling isn't near as relaxing as a great massage. It's not too late to book your next appointment!
