I just received an e-mail from my friend Rebecca Zupo in Austin. She works for a doctor who specializes in rehabilitating hand injuries. She suggested a Meetup focusing on the hands. I thought, that's a GREAT idea, and why not take it to a different level by creating a Massage and Bodywork Group focusing on hand care. So, here we are!

My favorite hand care book is by Lauriann Greene, "Save Your Hands!" If you haven't read her book yet, I hope you will soon. She'll probably join the group and contribute actively. http://www.saveyourhands.com

I love and appreciate my hands; they are so precious to me. I hope this massage community of kindred spirits brings you what you desire in terms of hand care - giving and receiving.

Warmly, Ariana Vincent, Ariana Institute
