For retail businesses, I would like to come in and offer complementary “samples” for promotion. We can set up a time and I will make a flyer letting people know when I will be available. This is a great way to show how much you value your customers.
For offices, I can give 10-15 minute chair massages for your employees at a time that would be convenient for the office. For these, I can cahrge per massage, or per hour. This is a great opportunity for you to show your staff how much you appreciate their hard work. Even allowing them an extra break for a chair massage will surely be a nice bonus and something to look forward to.
The prices are:
$70 per hour
$20 per 15 minute massage
