Dr. Dot massage in Salt Lake City, Utah

 

To book me, email: info@drdot.com and put "Mindy/Utah" in the subject line

 

 

Hi, my name is Mindy, and I am proud to be one of Dr. Dot's Salt Lake City Bots! 


As a graduate of Utah College of Massage Therapy's Professional and Master Bodyworker programs, the premier massage therapy programs worldwide, I am proficient in Deep Tissue, Swedish Massage, Structural Bodywork (including IntraCranial work), Cranial Sacral Therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, Trigger Point and Sports and Injury Massage. 


As a talent for music involves soul and body, I have a talent for massage therapy. Mechanical motions and superficial massage may make you “feel good,” but I merge my mind, talent and technique to bring extraordinary results. My knowledge of the body and how it works allows me to assess a need, then apply one or several of the types of treatment that will be most effective. When I am helping to ease another person's pain or restructuring for improved posture and motion, my mind and body resonate with the “instrument” of someone’s body as in musical performance. 


In the Salt Lake area, call Dr. Dot to schedule a “virtuoso” massage.

My mother always encouraged musical influences in my life. When I was young, she enrolled me in piano lessons, which I, at first, dreaded going to. Now looking back, I’ve come to appreciate the difference it has made in creating a passion to use my hands in bringing joy to others. This eventually had an influence in the profession I love so much today. 

I made it backstage to my first all-day concert at the age of 16. I had the opportunity to rub elbows with 311, Incubus, Stir, Violent Femmes and others–I still have my sharpie marked jeans. I’ve made it to the point where I almost always need music playing in the background whether it be Tool, The Beatles, Rush, or even some classical Chopin. Needless to say, I’ve grown up since that first show and always welcome the chance to work with these talented artists. 

I’ve worked in some of the top hotels and spas in Utah for the last 7 years. This has given me the opportunity to work with people from all over the world with different tastes and preferences. I utilize many different modalities to customize and cater to the needs of the individual on my table.

Still flat hunting

Been too frustrated to blog lately. Early April I paid Hothem Enterprises a whole YEARS rent up front to move into a tiny one bedroom in Jersey City Heights (Ogden ave). I gave Hugh a $13,000 check as I don't have any credit yet in the USA since I've been living in Germany so many years AND I THOUGHT I was using a credit card since 2002 but it turns out it is just a DEBIT card and this doesn't build credit! UGH!! So much for being the type that pays for everything straight away- that behavior does NOT get rewarded in the USA. They WANT you to owe. To build credit. STRANGE.

 

Anyways to get a flat here, you have to have good credit. I have none, so I made a bold move and paid a years rent up front. He promised me verbally and in writing the tenant would be out by May 1st (she was SUPPOSED to be out April 1st but did NOT want to budge). He sad I could move in May 1st and in our contract (was there two fucking hours listening to his bullshit about how he is Amish and takes things slow, that I talk too fast, that he wonders WHAT kind of massage business I own (told him to look up my web site, he says "Amish people don't DO internet").. in our contract it listed how the place would be painted, needed repairs would be made, yadda yadda yadda. He cashed check NEXT day according to my online bank account yet weeks went by and I heard nothing.

Late April rolls round and still no word. I walked by the flat to peek in window from a distance, to see if lights were on etc. The bitch was having a party, posters still on wall, etc. Did NOT look like sh was moving any time soon (it was April 27th I was checking things out). So I called Hugh and naturally the fucking voice mail picks up. I called the "Emergency" number (his cell- oh, the Amish can use cell phones but no internet?- wanker!) he talks to me in the most irritating, condescending tone I've ever heard in my life. "Dorothy, I told you it would be ready May 1st, no need to call" etc. He went on and on making me feel like an asshole for even doubting the situation (HOW would they get the messy, sloppy, smelly tenant (flat was a mess when it was showed to me and smelt to high heaven of fuming cat shit/piss) out by end of month and renovate in time for me to move in May 1st?? IMPOSSIBLE!.

 

Check out the online reviews I found about Hothem Enterprises (sadly AFTER I had all the problems with them!) Read HERE too.

 

 

Letter I wrote to building owner's Son:

Hello Craig

I have attached pictures I took last night upon receiving my keys for my new apartment. I am not sure if your father told you but I paid $13,000 (a whole year's rent and deposit) already (they check was cashed weeks ago).

I was told by your father the place would be painted, cleaned etc and ready for me by May 1st. I was saddened by what I saw (and smelt) last night when I finally got through the door (key is STUCK in the lock by the way- Mary Jane and I tried our best to get it out, to no avail).

Problems with new flat:
Front door into lobby does not lock  (ANYONE can come through both doors, without a key- which is not ok with me as I crave safety).

Smells like cat poop from former tenant (not fresh paint as I expected)
Bath tub faucet is dripping, doesn't shut off no matter what.
Seal around tub needs to be re-done (who ever did this, did it with one finger in a couple of minutes!)
Needs new toilet seat (disgusting)
Kitchen counter is falling apart (see attached picture)
Stove top is SUPER hot (what's up?)
Power outlet on kitchen wall very old and looks like a fire hazard to me
Paint flaking off everywhere  around kitchen floor base is not okay! (see attached picture)
Living room screens are torn and broken and ancient…need new ones (in fact they ALL look 100 years old and I can not freely open or close them)-
All windows need new screens
Bedroom electrical socket looks like it is ready to fall off needs to be replaced
Bedroom closet door knob is falling off

Door stop in bathroom is falling off

Electrical socket in living room also dangerous
Heater in bathroom is falling apart and broken (and FILTHY!!) see pix below..
Window sill in bathroom not even painted needs to be painted and needs new screen in bathroom


In short, I am sure it was difficult to renovate in two days, but it surely is not my fault the apartment is not ready for me as planned. The old tenant obviously over stayed her dead line, causing the rush in preparing my apartment."
 

See pictures below:

 
 This is what they call a renovated apartment!   

 

Looks like it is 100 years old. FIRE hazard much??

 

Bathroom was DISGUSTING

Nice holes in the screens. So bugs can just come right on in to hang out ^

 "Freshly Painted" my ASS! ^

The look looks nice and safe eh? Craig told me the "can't do anything about that"

 

 Does this look freshly painted to you? (Bathroom window sill) THEY ALL looked like this. Fucking liars. They did NOT paint, clean, nada. ONLY positive thing about this whole mess, is they actually gave me my refund (they had no choice, I would have sued them in a New York minute).

 

So you see, blogging now would just be about me venting and I don't want to burden you with this crap. Bad enough I have to deal with it. Pfft! I need my own space SOON or I am gonna snap.

Massage in Kansas City, Kansas

Email me at: info@drdot.com  and put "Amber/Kansas" in the subject line please 🙂

 

Hello, my name is Amber and I have been a licensed massage therapist for approximately a year and a half. I was born and raised in a small town in Kansas. After high school, I attended Ottawa University where I obtained a B.A. in biology and competed in four years of collegiate athletics. With this being said, I have always been very aware of the body and the amazing things it is capable of doing.

After college, I decided it was time to make some money so I entered the corporate world. It was during my time in the corporate world that I realized I had the potential to succeed doing something I truly enjoyed, massage therapy. I have always been interested in health, so I decided to pursue massage. I wanted to be able to help others and to go about it holistically. I want to teach people how to help heal themselves. Massage has been a blessing in my life because I can use my knowledge of the body, my positive energy, and genuine care for people to make them feel better physically and emotionally.

My in depth knowledge of the muscles and the ways in which they work have allowed me to excel in deep tissue massage. I have been told my touch can be comforting, relaxing, and soothing. So if you are looking for stress relief or relaxation, I can help take your cares away. I am very excited to be a part of Dr. Dot’s team! Not only am I passionate for massage and sports, but I have always had a passion for music. Listening to good music and being in a fun environment is something I thrive on. So if you are in the Kansas City area and are looking for someone to give you a good, rejuvenating massage, please contact Dr. Dot and she will help you get in touch with me. It would be my honor to have the change to work on you!

Massage in Kansas City

 

My name is Gracie, and I'm a LMT in the Kansas City area. I've grown up mostly in the midwest but I spent sometime in Hollywood, CA before deciding to come back to the midwest in Spring of '07.

I recieved my training in massage therapy while living in California and graduated a certified therapist in our Master Program at CHAC.

Living on the west coast enabled me to study various healing arts from Reiki, Oscillation, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Pre Natal, Pregnancy, Childrens to Hot and Cold Jade Stones. I was also able to gain experience working in various environments: physical therapy, medical day spa, charity events, chiropractic, high end clientale/personal training, massage on set … to name a few.

I've always had an affinity toward homopathetic ways of healing whether it be through touch or herbs. Growing up I was enlightened to this natural medicine due to my mother's own homeopathic background. To this day I remember seeing my mom make medicine out of rattle snake skin. lol

Not that that was a regular occurence to have rattlesnake skin laying around, it only happened once, but it left a lasting impression on me how something so outrageous could be used to help someone. She definately was always coming up with different elixirs as well as herbs, food one could benefit from.

She also knew Iridology. So as you can imagine growing up I grew more and more fascinated with this way of life. I do plan to continue my studies in the near future.

I'm interested in Holistic Health/Medicine Wheel, Spiritual Counseling, as well as Metaphysics. My focus has always been geared toward energy work.

I really enjoy doing bodywork, I find it to be cathardic to help someone replenish themselves and to share this is healing for me as well. Apart from my interest in this industry I do enjoy many other things like art, music!, traveling, cooking, writing. If you're looking for a therapist who will not only help you theraputically but also someone you could talk to, I'm your girl!

I am avaliable for incalls as well as outcalls 🙂

Thanks a lot for taking out the time to read my Bio, I look forward to working with you. Email me: info@drdot.com  and put "Gracie/Kansas" in the subject line and it will reach me instantly.

 

Love and Light,
Gracie

Dr. Dot

 

 "Hi!  I’m Kim!  Born and raised in New York City, I have been a professional massage therapist for the past 4 years.

I started my massage career out in Los Angeles after leaving the daily grind of a major record label.   My love for music led me to combining my talents (and loves), music and massage.  I started out massaging professional athletes at a high end spa.  Then, two years ago I went out with The Bravery doing merch and massage.  It was the perfect opportunity to combine my loves. 

Now based in the NY/NJ area, I specialize in Deep Tissue and sports massage.  All my massages include a combination of stretches, Swedish strokes, Shiatsu, and deep muscle work to provide my clients with the optimal experience.  I have been trained in:

•    Deep Tissue
•    Sports Massage
•    Shiatsu
•    Reflexology
•    Pregnancy Massage
•    Acupressure
•    Trigger Point

I look forward to working with you and your bands.  And of course, I tour!

Peace & Love,
Kim"

OMG
   


Berlin is happier than ever right now. The Turks are happy as they won the other night and now Germany won against Portugal, so we have happy Turks along side Happy Germans, enjoying the warm weather. Life is grand here apart from the fucking construction workers who have been doing who knows WHAT since January in my court yard, who start making EXTREME noise at 7:30 am sharp, which leaves me about, uh, one hour of silences after my head hits the pillow at 6am as always. Lucky for them there are laws protecting them, ha ha.

 

So today (June 19th) is Jasmine's 19th birthday. OMG! Just thought I would throw that out there, she won't want me going on and on about it. sigh. I  am so swamped lately that even thinking about blogging makes me nervous. I have so much to write and so many pictures to crop and upload and explain. Perhaps I will find time this weekend to put a dent in the France and Italy blog. Jesus I have to much catching up to do AND my New Years resolution was to actually re-write my WHOLE book again so I can see if anyone wants to publish it. Thing is, I get asked several times a day per email "where can I find your book" or "where can I buy your book?" so I know there is a demand for it and I know it will help me sleep getting all of this info out of my fucking head (like taking a huge mental dump) so I can free up memory space on my mind before I get Alzheimers and forget it all. Feck!

So much to do everyday, so many emails and columns to write that I never get around to the fun writing.. I think it's better to have too much to do than not enough. I simply can NOT understand people who get bored. WHAT? Bored? I just don't comprehend. I have no time to be bored. There is always something to do, in fact, more than one thing to do; I'm not even bored when I sleep, I have naughty dreams keeping me entertained.

Oh, I saw the Sex and the City movie tonight and LOVED IT!!! I went with  my girlfriend Martina (who looks, dresses and acts just like Charlotte AND is 7 months pregnant, so at the part in the film where Charlotte was super pregnant, it was so funny looking at Martina!). Anyways the film is fabulous and we want MORE! On another note, I watched an episode of WEEDS, which everyone told me about; told me how much I would love it. HATED IT. What a waste of time that was. STUPID. Don't waste your time. Sometimes before I sleep, Pooh and I watch something on my MAC lap top (which I LOVE now by the way) and it's usually Meerkat Manor or Gene Simmon's Family Jewels which I order from iTunes. LOVE THEM.

 

I am just rambling on now, I have to get to bed before the trash men and construction workers start making their war sounds. Will write again soon,
