I’m very proud to be a sponsor for the September 12, 2009 5K Chicago Lung Run .

The Chicago 5K Lung Run is held each year in support of lung cancer survivors and their families, and in memory of those who have lost their lives to lung cancer, the leading cancer killer in America. The mission of the Chicago 5K Lung Run is to raise awareness of lung cancer and to raise much-needed funds for lung cancer research.

The 2009 Chicago 5K Lung Run will benefit cutting-edge lung cancer research through the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago (RHAMC) and the Lung Oncologists Group in Chicago (LOGIC), a consortium of lung cancer researchers from leading Chicago-area institutions.

There is still time to participate in the race or to donate!

I have completed 90 hours of Comprehensive Thai Yoga Massage at the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The staff of teachers and directors are all extremely knowledgeable and kind (and fun! – see photo). I knew from the first day that I had chosen a great school, if not the best, to continue learning the foundations of Thai Massage at. The courses are certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) as a continuing education provider.

The curriculum is based on the Thai Massage Revival Project. Thai Massage exemplifies the “Four Divine States of Mind”, of Buddhist teaching: loving kindness, compassion, vicarious joy, and equanimity. These are collectively known in Thai as the “Promwihan See”. The benefits of Thai Massage are equally physical and holistic (and I am already feeling more bendy and way less stress after just over a week). Thai Massage helps improve circulation, flexibility, stress management (stress management alone is a good enough reason to get any type of massage!), joint strength and also eases anxiety and can aid creativity.

Many of the techniques are perfect for table and chair massage in addition to the traditional floor mat. I’m looking forward to offering Thai massage to all of my clients!

I will be donating my Chair Massage services along with personalized Massage Therapy packages at a wonderful fundraising event this Saturday, May 16, 2009 to raise money for Gallery 111 and Skinner Classical School.

Gallery 111 is a fabulous non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing a hands-on education in the visual, literary, and performing arts at Skinner Classical School.
