Massage and Business … The Best of Both Worlds
Since choosing to withdraw from my developing massage practice to pursue a career as V.P. of International Sales and Marketing (resulting in traveling the globe for business several times a year), I’m constantly asked when I would resume that practice. I finally found a way to balance both, which is exciting because I think health and fitness are key components for creativity and productivity, not to mention the “feel-good” factor. So to start, I’m offering massages again. Here’s the information. Make a regular program a first step toward a healthier, happier, better balanced life!
Welcome Lowry back to offering massages by treating yourself to one in the privacy and convenience of your own home at the special rate of $50 for a one-hour massage (normally $75). To make an appointment contact him at lowry.mcferrin@gmail.com to make an appointment.
No matter how long the massage, it’s an experience. Enjoy it. Give it to a friend!
Gift Certificates available.
Lowry McFerrin has a Massage Therapist Certification from the National Holistic Institute. He specializes in a combination of Swedish and Shiatsu massage as well as reflexology. He is a firm believer in wellness through healthy living, diet and exercise.
Massage Styles offered:
· Swedish – incorporates long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the superficial layers of the muscles, in combination with active and passive movements of the joints.
· Shiatsu – Japanese technique using finger-pressure and stretching on special points along the body
to treat an ailment. Uses the principles of energy flow (chi) through the 14 meridians
(energy channels) of the body.
· Reflexology – Uses the system of points in the hands and feet to manipulate the corresponding
(reflex), areas of the body. This is NOT a massage; it is a health promoting treatment –
but it can be incorporated into a session.
Benefits of Massage:
· Promotes the nutrition and health of skin
· Enhances circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids
· Relaxes muscles while improving immune system function
· Improves posture, range of motion and flexibility in joints
· Speeds recovery from strenuous physical exertion
· Encourages deeper states of relaxation
· Reduces the effects of stress

Lowry, congrats on your decision to return to therapy work. Look forward to a massage upon my return.
Hi Lowry,
As I recall from the old college days of back aches, you give excellent massages. So glad to see you are finding a way to make it all work O VP of international sales ((good for you) I will keep this in mind next time I come to the bay area if you are in town vs half way around the world.
Love ya,
Di
Hi Diane!
Thank you for commenting on my blog – encouraging to know that someone is actually reading it! I’ve been remiss in checking it regularly. That’s changing today and the following tomorrows. You’re the first to get a response!
Yes, working to get back into the things that I’m passionate about while learning where passion has faded … not always an easy discovery. However, massage is something that hasn’t faded over time – I’m very thankful to the powers that gifted me with this sense of touch. Let me know when you’re up next and have time for a session – it’d be an honor to have you as a visiting “celebrity”. Your table is waiting…
Congrats on your weight loss – suppose that shallowness you mention has a silver lining if it inspires weight loss for you, removes the cloak of invisibility and, in a way, inspires you to reveal your magical self to the world. What a lucky world and a healthier you! All the best with your next step(s)!
Love ya back…
Lowry
Oh forgot to tell you, I’m 30 lbs lighter now and working on more. I’m no longer “invisible” to the world. Somehow I think overweight creates a veil of invisibility, especially down here in the land of the shallow human.
I am a big believer in regular massages too. There have been times when reflexology was the only therapy that allowed me to feel relaxed and grounded. The Healthy Junkie’s Community Cleanse runs from May 4th to May 31st, 2011. This is a perfect time for any participants living in your area to schedule a cleansing massage. I invite you to post the information on The Healthy Junkie facebook page or on the blog.
