The Co-Op is looking for a new home!
Our massage practice has been growing by leaps and
bounds! We recently closed our Torrington office due
to a change in our parking situation there and moved
everything to our Harwinton office. We are now busting
at the seams and preparing to add our second addition in
two years (going up to 11 treatment rooms!).
I will continue to do the newsletters for classes and massage
related news but I have to let the product orders go. I will
still entertain offers from anyone who wants to take all the
remaining stock. Below are some clearance specials.
Call with questions.
Love,
Franci & Gary

Co-Op Specials
Beautiful salt lamps, from the foothills of Himalayan Mountains are more than just pretty to
look at - they're good for you. Salt crystal lamps generate healthy negative ions that cleanse the air. Ever
experienced the change in the air after a good rain? That's from negative ions, and that's what these lamps
do, and they don't lose their power over time. Salt crystal lamps harness a very high energy frequency,
neutralizing EMF from our modern day living. We have seen these retail for anywhere between $35 and $75ea.!
$29 for a single lamp

The Original Backnobber ® II tool is a carefully designed, deep muscle therapy device,
it is the most advanced product of its kind on the market today.Constructed and crafted
from fiberglass reinforced, nylon, this tool will last for many years.
The Original Backnobber ® II tool is used by hooking the device over a shoulder or under
an arm and using its leverage to apply deep pressure to trigger points in the muscles of the
neck, shoulders, upper and lower back and virtually any other location on the body where
trigger points may occur. This pressure can significantly reduce tension and pain in soft
tissue and increase range of motion and overall function. The Original Backnobber ® II
tool is fitted with a built-in locking device that allows its two halves to be taken apart and
“nested” for convenient storage and travel. This simple but effective, self-care tool is
lightweight, ergonomic, durable, compact, attractive and versatile. Each Backnobber ® II
tool comes with a 35-page, fully illustrated User Guide.

Success Aerobics: A Prosperous Mindset Creates a
Successful Massage Business with Cary Bayer
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
8:00-10:00pm, after Chapter Meeting
2 CE hours /
Courtyard Marriott, Cromwell, CT.
Register at the door prior to 8pm start time.
About the workshop:
A. Transform the unnatural act of “compliment deflection” and awaken
your innate capacity to comfortably accept appreciation and money
B. Identify 10 negative thoughts or obstacles that currently block the
achievement of massage goals and success.
C. Overcome these inner obstacles through the creation of ongoing
positive messages, resulting in greater capacity to achieve success
D. Identify a major secret of the creation of success: namely the role
that focusing on success has in creating more success. Awaken, at will,
the quality of enthusiasm, one of the major secrets of all successful people.
This enables LMTs to more powerfully magnetize people to them, including
new clients.
At a time when there are more massage therapists than ever before, merely
staying in business has become a formidable challenge. Compounding the
problem of marketplace competition is a vexing hidden problem: sabotage,
in the form of unconscious limiting beliefs that keep a massage therapist
struggling and consistently earning less than he or she is capable of. It’s like
tying a body worker’s arms behind her back. What's she to do?
This course will transform limiting beliefs about money and enable her to learn
to earn. The inner, daily workout taught in this workshop builds a powerful success
consciousness that naturally attracts more new clients to therapist. The workshop
won’t eliminate competition, but it will inspire an LMT to behave with such
confidence that she’ll feel as if she were the only massage therapist in town.
About the Instructor:
