'round the table GO AHEAD, SPEAK UP A young girl was brought into a day spa where I was working and she was in a wheelchair and suffering from brain cancer. With each massage, I tried to make [the session] very special for her in some way, whether it be decorations, aromatherapy, flowery girly sheets, or even a stuffed, furry animal. I will remember these massages above all others. It was heartbreaking and so heartwarming all at the same time. What a brave and upbeat little girl. Carol Schaefer Las Vegas, Nevada TELL US ABOUT THE BEST MASSAGE YOU'VE EVER GIVEN. THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE, BOTH? HOW HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO CONVERT GIFT RECIPIENTS INTO RETURN CLIENTS? COMING IN MAY/JUNE: DO YOU SELL GIFT CERTIFICATES AND/OR GIFT CARDS? DO YOU SELL THEM IN PERSON, My brother was dying of esophageal cancer. During the last six months, he was not getting a lot of relief from the medications he was prescribed. I visited him several times (he lived on the West Coast, I lived on the East Coast) and each time I saw him, he would sit on the living room ottoman and take off his shirt. I could count his ribs from across the room. I had some massage cream with me and I was awarded the privilege of offering the only relief he could get from the constant pain.
