I have been using my forearms to massage almost exclusively and am interested in learning Lomi Lomi. Has anyone else learned this modality and how did you modify it to fit ME's draping guidelines?

What do you all think of the new shirts? We got 20 mock ups of them, in the winter we all LOVED them, now that it is 89 – 94 out side we HATE them, they are hot and hold on to sweat and you smell it after about 4 hours. And if you do not clean them RIGHT AWAY they hold on to that smell. You have to use a lot of detergent to get the smell out.

Comment by W. Dannie Lane on May 16, 2011 at 6:15am: I feel ya Darcy, we are #1 in Ga, out of 19 clinics, and we are told the same thing by our regional director ALL THE TIME! We have the highest new member numbers, the lowest turnover and we get attended 2 times a month (for they think we are “fixing” the numbers) but always get a 90+ and all are therapist have 800+ hrs of training (GA requires 500hrs), hell out of the 32 therapist we have 13 have 1000+ hrs and 4 have over 2000 hrs of training and we still are told we do sub-standard massages. You know that “retell eye” thing, we get bad ones from members telling corporate that they can’t get in to get a massage, for we were told we need to see more “prospects” and we don’t have the open times for members (we were down to 2 prospects every 4 hrs and were told we HAD to see at lest 4 every hour now). Our prospect to member numbers were at 46% and it only has to be at 28%. Now it’s down to 24% for we found that the regional director is telling the other clinics (he owns 4) to send prospects to us.

The American Massage Conference is here in Atlanta this year and 6 of ME’s big corporate guys are going to be there so we are taking a LONG list of complaints to them. 8 pages as of today.

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on May 15, 2011 at 11:42pm: We are number one in the nation and all we hear is how we do a sub-standard massage. Hummmm! Makes no sense to me.

Also still waiting on new shirts.

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on March 16, 2011 at 10:42am: We have decided out owner is bi-polar. He tells me he wants to push us to our highest potential in the name of "God" but just does not know quite how to go about it in a tackful way I am learning. I think at times I am teaching him.

Comment by W. Dannie Lane on March 16, 2011 at 10:08am: We get the same thing, we have the highest sales in the state, and we must be neck and neck with you for our sales are at 80-81% in the region, BUT we are still told we are not doing as well as we should be. This pisses me off for the next M.E. to us in sales is at 68 to 70%.

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on March 15, 2011 at 8:17pm: Well Dannie, Our owner came in today and announced to us that Massage Envy Pensacola was #1 in their region and #2 nationwide in sales. I find this so surprising after he told us all that the sales staff was selling sub-standard massages because they rate 82% out of a possible 100%. Interesting I say.

Comment by W. Dannie Lane on March 14, 2011 at 5:12pm: The A/C here is on 69, but they way the place was designed there is not much air that gets in the rooms, most stay about 75. I am one of them that sweat when it is 60 degrees out and can be in a t-shirt and shorts when it is 50 outside. I tried the undershirt one time all I got out of it was a very wet t-shirt LOL, we will see how it goes. Hell the room I am in today got to 80 WITH a fan in it.

Comment by Darcy Neibaur on March 14, 2011 at 8:37am: Our owner keeps our A/C at 72 degrees and we do have fans in every room. Some of our guys wear a light t-shirt under their shirts to help absorb the sweat and also help cover the chest hairs. Same with the ladies and the cleavage. I personally think anything is better than the gold/beige shirts.

Comment by W. Dannie Lane on March 14, 2011 at 8:14am: I understand Darcy, EVERONES shirts are backordered. We got about 20 “trial” shirts and they let us use them for now. The problem is and this is how it was told to me, the corporate office “don’t want to be able to see chest hair OR any cleavage”!!! For me to do that I have to have it zipped ALL the way up and so do some of the ladies we work with. These shirts are not as cool most time as they think they will be and this will make some of us sweat more! We have received complaints that the “therapist was sweating a lot” and the rooms we have are not that cool at the best of times, even when we bring in fans. So this will be getting worst when we have the new shirts, I think.
