Howdy folks.
Welcome to my business blog. This will be the voice of Sierra that you will get on the web for now.
I have found that Facebook is like some sort of addictive problem on some levels for me so I have decided I am better off without it.
This post is the post I hope my buddies, family and friends will find when then notice that I am not to be found on their facebook.
I can imagine there will be a number of folks thinking that I unfriended them. That sucks but I’ll take the blows as they come.
I will be communicating with more frequency and only slightly more casualness on this blog as I will be filling a need I have found while in the throws of facebook addiction.
I need to blog
I might not have that “blogging gene” people in the SEO world talk about but I sure like to state my opinion and press “publish.”
Some articles Will still need to be edited and sent my rock and foundational business badass Russell Smith, but some posts… well, they’re going to be less formal.
I have been thinking about this for so long too. I have been thinking to myself… “shit, i need to get my business blog going somehow…. oy what’s happening on facebook… oh derp… years lost… oh crap… business blog… what do I do? I think I need to blog more casuallly… no no can’t do that. … too unprofessional… will frighten the civilians.”
and yet
here I am
needing to explain, in a nicely vague manor, compassionately sparing any raunchy horrifically loathsome details
why sierra faye kennedy … lmp.. is not on THEFacebok anymore.
for now
I might go back to it. all the invites to things and all.
I guess I should say… Don’t panic. Don’t panic folks, I am more than fine.
Bodywork has been the central preoccupation of my life. The focus, compassion and attention I give to my clients is beyond most of the practitioners you’ll find in this fair city full of a million massage therapists.
My business acumen has, unfortuately been lacking as some of my recently scheduled clients might agree.
I think it’s time to admit my mistakes and move on with re-commitments to calling and emailing people back with haste and courtesy.
I have been doing massage for 12 years and running this business for 8 years. I’ve changed the business name and niche twice and had two locations.
Sometimes one can get a little deep into a business rabbit hole and find themselves forgetting their professional ethics and letting things slip.
I guess I have to admit my jadedness.
long time in the field will do that to any person.
SO
here I am
not on facebook.
check me out here and I think you may find me here in a way that suits your need to interact with me online.
Take care of yourself.
brush your teeth, drink water, work out, don’t avoid your problems and keep a positive attitude.
love yourself and always strive to forgive those who have been the cause of your pain.
release and let go.
be free and…
for God’s sake… get a fucking massage already.
Seasonal Questions (Part 1.)
Monday, January 16th, 2012 | Business, Craniosacral Therapy, Featured, greenwood, Health, Massage, Seattle | No Comments
Questions about my life seem to come up at odd moments and in mysterious ways when the season turns and there’s a chill in the air. Where am I in my life? How are my clients, these people who live in warm human bodies that I help with my massage practice? Where am I in my mental, physical, and emotional bodies? How much exercise am I getting? Could my diet be healthier? Why am I not posting more blog posts? Hey, wait, I’m doing it now…writing something that will connect with others…since I can’t be the only one having these thoughts…
I’m busy with new and long-term clients and I’m glad. I’ve been doing this a long time, and I relocated my business this year, up in Greenwood, in a sweet little nest of a house. I’m passionate about what I do, and when I perform deep tissue massage for people, I like seeing how they come out of my space…feeling lighter and more flexible…and in less pain. And my rates may be slightly higher than what’s now considered “market rate” for a massage in Seattle, but there are many reasons why an experienced massage therapist charges what they do. Such as…experience, knowledge, and being able to help people in ways that someone just starting out isn’t capable of doing. No matter one does for a living, there’s a dollar sign attached to it, and we should all be getting our true worth for our services.
When you go to a traditional Western doctor or hospital, they tell you how much it’ll cost and you pay with your credit card or write a check, but you don’t complain about it. There would be no point, you think. Same should be true with non-traditional healers. If through your own healing experiences, you’ve found out that regular massage and Eastern modalities (like acupuncture and herbs) help keep your body in tune and on track, you are grateful to be healthy and aware of it, and you’re willing to pay for what works with your body. So, life, healing, seasonal shifts…and money as a fact of life…everywhere in the world. I invite you to ask your own seasonal questions, and find out why you’re feeling in a dark place, or maybe in a lighter place than people around you. What’s weighing you down, or making you feel lighter? How are you taking care of yourself as we enter the busy Winter Season?
New Year, New Location…Time to Get A Massage. Get Ready for Spring!

Greetings!
A hearty hello to all my loyal and wonderful clients, fabulous friends and great business contacts that regularly read my blog posts. I hope 2011 is treating you very well so far! And also a big hello to new people who may be finding me online for the first time at SierraFaye.com, whether you’re in Seattle or someplace further away. Portland, Cleveland, Walla Walla or Vancouver, B.C.?
Some of you already know there have been many big changes in my life, one of which is moving my massage practice to a wonderful new space in Greenwood, near Aurora and 90th.
Yes, Sierra Faye’s Massage practice has relocated to: 747 N. 90th St, Seattle WA, 98103.
Some great improvements in my new massage space for clients:
v You’ll always find ample free parking close-by.
v Traffic sounds and intrusive noises are practically non-existent.
v The people I share the space with are all healers with more than 30 years experience in their fields.
As a place for giving healing and therapeutic bodywork, my new space feels so much better.
Clients who visit me breathe easier and relax into their massage treatments, without being distracted by traffic sounds or nearby construction projects. Now I can attend to clients in a welcoming space—in a residential neighborhood, in a house that’s been converted into a healing center.
The atmosphere is much quieter than on Capitol Hill, and provides a more cozy massage environment.
People wanting therapeutic massage treatments in the north end of Seattle can get to me easier, and my long-term Capitol Hill clients have a perfect reason to come up to Greenwood and check out a neighborhood with so much going for it…great restaurants, cool art galleries, inviting coffee shops…and excellent massage practitioners.
