Relax? Â Yeah right. Â This isn’t always the easiest thing to do, is it? Â You know when you just need a little “something” for yourself? Â I definitely do. Â Some days I feel like I can’t even remember who I am! Â I came across a lucky break the other day, though… Â up popped my facebook feed” “Hands on Health- Some free 30-minute massages to give away. Â Contact me for information.”
Ummmm… free massage? Â Sign me up! Â So, I sent a message and a few days later wound up on the massage table at Hands on Health. Â Relaxed? Â Yep. Â That’s for sure!
Niki is new to Hands on Health, having just graduated from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. Â She is peaceful, knowledgeable and I was totally thrilled to have the chance to treat myself with a massage! Â Thirty minutes of care to my back, neck and head and I left feeling like a new woman! Â It was so nice to have some time in a quiet, calming environment to be able to close my eyes and have the little aches and pains in my neck soothed. Â I didn’t think that I was carrying tension, really, but to have someone massage my scalp just sent me to mush and all that tension (yep, we found some) was gone. Â A fantastic occasion of relaxation. Â Something that I think every parent deserves!
So, Niki agreed to let me give away another free thirty-minute massage, here on KamloopsParents.Com. Â One lucky reader will get to have the same treatment I had, and get to meet with Niki for a relaxing 30-minute massage!
There are a few ways that you can enter, and you can also comment once daily until July 28th at 10pm to win the gift certificate.
1) You can comment or e-mail me (at elizabeth@kamloopsparents.com) once daily to get your name in the draw. Â (Daily entry)
2) You can go and like the Hands on Health page on facebook. Â (One entry)
3) You can go and check out the Hands on Health page and let me know one of the things that a spa massage can do for you. Â (One entry)
4) You can also let me know one thing that you would be glad to leave behind in your thirty-minutes of relaxation if you were to win (like the laundry!!). (One entry)
Good luck!!

Ok, I could really really reaaaallly use a massage
The thing that stood out the most about what a massage can do is reduce stress! And I could use a break from my 4 kids for a nice relaxing massage!!!

A massage would allow me to leave behind prepping for a new job in September. I am not complaining, at least I have a job but it is overwhelming. I feel like a first year teacher all over again.
Thanks
That is another entry

What it can do for me.
A massage will increase circulation and since that is a “HOT” topic in MS therapy it might be helpful for some short term boost of of energy.
That is one of my entries.

Hi Liz,
Wow could I ever use a massage!!
I liked the Hands on health page on facebook.
One of the things massage can do is reduce stress.

Hi Elizabeth,
Here is my e-mail entry. I also checked out the website; I’ll be checking out Niki’s place soon! I didn’t realize that it was the Niki that I knew until I saw her last name! That’s very cool.
