Your body and mind go hand in hand. Massage relaxes your body and your mind and we all can use that!" Cher explained. Cher also emphasized the personal personal aspect of massage. Cher comes to your home so you stay in your own comfortable environment and can utterly relax once the massage is completed. "It's the only time in your life you are touched for one hour objectively objectively with no commitments and nothing is expected. Some people especially older people find massage is the only time they are ever touched touched at all," she said. Massage helps correct certain bodily or emotional dysfunctions and improves general functioning, but besides the therapeutic benefits it makes you feel absolutely wonderful. If people could get over either the taboo idea of massage or the nervousness of being touched they could come to feel so much better in mind and body. If you are interested in a massage treatment or have any questions call Chet at 983-5733.
