Student Discounts and Specials!

 

I understand. You're a student. You're stressed out about school, finances and maybe even work! Where are you going to find the money and time for a massage? 

 

For my student clients I offer $40 for an hour and $60 for 90 minutes.

 

I also have referral discounts and massage party discounts. Just contact me and we can sort out group details. I've done a few of these so I have an idea of what works well and keeps everyone "flowing" through smoothly.

 

Why should you take time for a massage from your insane class and study schdule?

 

College isn’t the party everyone makes it out to be. Weekends are great for going out and letting off steam, but when it comes to school, studying and all the other stressors involved with college, most college students need some much needed stress relief.

 

Massage therapy is a wonderful tool that not only makes you feel more at ease and more able to cope with these stressors, but regular massages have academic benefits as well.

 

According to the American College Health Association, stress is still the number one obstacle to academic performance. Academic stress is a huge growing problem among college students – 28% of the students reported that their teachers were stressed, 39% reported their parents were stressed, and 35% reported that they themselves were stressed “often” or “very often.”

Massage benefits on academic stress:

  • Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety

  • Reduces muscle tension

  • Improves blood circulation

  • Merge mind, body and spirit

  • Increase mental focus and stamina

 

Full time college students often take four to six classes per semester, and even part time students have three or so hours of class time each day. Experts say that a student should study at least two hours per day per class they take. That’s a lot of studying!

 

This type of activity often involves hunched shoulders, tight pectoral muscles, cramping and tightness in the hands and fingers and tight quads, all from sitting over computer screens and books all day. These issues lead to symptoms like headaches, muscle fatigue and soreness.

 

When a person is stressed, he or she is more likely to get sick, since stress has a substantial negative effect on their immune system. Students also usually feel tight, wound up, anxious and have a hard time focusing. Most people don’t realize this but due to such stress, one in every four college freshman drops out.

 

This is why every college student should receive a massage therapy session at least once or twice per month. If those college students who dropped out, had a healthy alternative for dealing with stress, such as massage therapy, they would have been more able to tackle the academic commitments that their college professors imposed on them.

 

College Stress Facts:
