As of May 15th 2019 Fluid has a new address!

Fluid world headquarters has moved!

Our new address – 1635 S.E. Malden Street Suite C, Portland, Oregon 97202. We are now located in a bright, light filled space, just about a half mile north of the former Clatsop Street location. See that upper left window in the photo above? That’s our new digs! The studio is in a nice quiet office building with plenty of street parking. Walk in the front door, come upstairs and my unit is on the left. I can’t wait to show it to you! Call or email me to schedule your next session, or reserve a spot in class. I look forward to seeing you soon!

p.s. this week, the best way to get a hold of me right away is to call me on the phone. I am checking email in the morning and at night. Thanks for your patience as I transition to the new space.

I Am Thankful For You!

Yes YOU! If your eyeballs are reading this post that means we have had, or currently have a connection. If I see you once a week or once a year I appreciate you!

Thanksgiving is coming up and I have been thinking about who and what I am thankful for. Here’s a short list: this little bird (pictured) and his sweet family. My sweetie, Eric. My supportive family. Oregon’s outrageous natural beauty. My Sellwood neighborhood, where parks with rivers, creeks, and big trees are all a short walk from my house. And last but not least, all of you! Without you I would not have a thriving business. We have a lot of fun together and I love how you support each other.

Did you know that expressing gratitude can improve your health? Research shows that grateful people have fewer aches and pains, sleep better, and are less aggressive than those who have more pessimistic outlooks. It’s hard to be a grump when you are counting your blessings!

This month I challenge you to share your gratitude. What are you thankful for?

Click here to leave a gratitude post on Fluid’s facebook page and you could win a movement + massage gift certificate. Winner will be announced in the December newsletter.

Should You Keep Your Appointment If You Are Sick?

It’s that time of year again. I’m getting reports from some of you about colds, and allergies that leave you feeling less than stellar. So what to do when you feel a scratchy throat, runny nose, cough or just a run down feeling coming on? Well push through of course and continue your regular schedule and hope that it goes away! I’M KIDDING!!! 🙂

If you are sick please stay home and rest.

I was recently at my girlfriend’s house and saw this on her fridge. It’s a helpful chart from her child’s preschool that shows when to keep the kids home. My favorite is the poop emoji (or maybe Mr. pukey next to it). While this chart clearly (and humorously) outlines when to keep your child at home, as adults, it is sometimes hard for us to decide how best to care for ourselves (are these symptoms from allergies, or a sinus infection, am I getting sick, or just dehydrated, or tired…).

Your best recovery strategy is rest. As my business is appointment based, I ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule your appointment or class reservation. I also understand that sometimes emergencies happen, or maybe you felt fine in the morning but by 2 pm you are loosing steam. My goal is to strike a balance between setting clear boundaries, keeping a full schedule, and giving you the best experience possible.

If you are feeling run down, and considering staying home, please err on the side of caution so that we can all be happy and healthy this winter.

In the words of Daniel Tiger “when you’re sick, rest is best”
