Desiree Ibanez, RMT

A quick note to my wonderful clients. 🤍

I’ll be closed July 22–26 while I take some time away due to a loss within the family.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of my small business. Your kindness and flexibility mean more than you know.

Messages may be answered a little slower while I’m away, but I’ll respond as soon as I’m able.

Appointments will resume July 27, and I look forward to seeing you then.

Thank you again for your understanding. 🤍

Sometimes life asks us to pause and be where we’re needed most.

I’ll be taking a short break from July 6–12 to spend time with family.

Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and for supporting a small business that values both caring for others and caring for family.

I look forward to seeing you again beginning July 13. 🤍

A gentle reminder from a one-person business. 🤍

Behind every appointment is just one person.

I do my absolute best to show up for every client, keep my schedule running smoothly, and provide the level of care you expect from me. But sometimes life asks me to be somewhere else—especially when family needs me.

When those moments happen, I may need to reschedule appointments. These decisions are never made lightly.

I completely understand that being in pain or needing treatment is frustrating. If I’m unavailable and you need care sooner, I genuinely encourage you to seek treatment elsewhere rather than wait. Your health shouldn’t be put on hold.

What I do ask for is kindness and understanding. Compassion goes both ways.

Thank you to the many clients who continue to support my small business with patience, grace, and respect. It never goes unnoticed. 🤍

A quick note to let my wonderful clients know that I’ll be away until Sunday as I head to Vancouver to spend some time with family. 🤍

During this time, I may be a little slower to respond to messages, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you, as always, for your patience, understanding, and continued support of my small business. It truly means so much.

I look forward to seeing you when I return. Take care, and I’ll see you soon. ✨

One of the things I hear most from clients is…

“I didn’t think to ask because I assumed you were fully booked.”

Please don’t assume. 🤍

While I can’t always guarantee availability, I often have last-minute cancellations, schedule changes, or can occasionally make room for an appointment within a day or two.

If you’re sore, dealing with a flare-up, or simply hoping to get in sooner, send me a message.

The worst I can say is that I don’t have anything available—but many times, I do.

It never hurts to ask. ✨

One thing I wish more clients knew…

During your massage, you are always welcome to speak up. 🤍

Need more pressure? Less pressure? Want the room warmer? Prefer complete silence? Need a bathroom break?

Please tell me.

Massage therapy isn’t something you need to “get through” or worry about doing perfectly. Your treatment should feel comfortable, safe, and tailored to you.

This is your time, and I’m here to help create the best experience possible. ✨

Even massage therapists need a little recovery sometimes. 🤍☀️

I’ll be away on vacation from June 10–20, taking some time to rest, recharge, and enjoy a change of scenery.

As someone who encourages clients to prioritize self-care and recovery, I know how important it is to practice what I preach.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and trust in my business. I appreciate every one of you and look forward to returning refreshed and ready to help you feel your best.

See you soon! ✨

Friendly reminder that when you message my business…

You’re also messaging the receptionist.

The scheduler.

The administrator.

The marketing department.

The social media manager.

The bookkeeper.

And the CEO.

They’re all me. 😂🤍

Thank you for supporting a small business and allowing me to do what I love every day. 🙏🏻

Just a friendly reminder 🤍

I also offer cupping therapy as part of your massage treatment.

Cupping can help:
• reduce muscle tension
• improve circulation
• support recovery
• relieve myofascial tightness

If you’re curious whether cupping may benefit you, feel free to ask at your next appointment. ✨

This business has grown almost entirely through word of mouth, referrals, and your continued support — and I’ll never stop being grateful for that. 🤍

Every time you recommend me to a friend, family member, or colleague, it means more than you probably realize.

In a profession built on trust, your referrals are truly the highest compliment.

Thank you for supporting my small business, welcoming me into your homes, and allowing me to be part of your wellness journey.

You share. They heal. We all win. ✨
