For Mother’s Day, there’s no better way to pamper Mom than to give her the gift of a spa facial. Mom will look as good as she feels after a Murad® Healthy Skin Facial, available at any of the 10 Massage Envy Spas in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Massage Envy gift cards can be used for facials as well as massages and Murad products. All 28 Dallas/Fort Worth area Massage Envy clinics are offering a Mother’s Day special – buy three gift cards valued at $75 each and get a free one-hour massage gift card.

Facials at Massage Envy Spa feature Murad products specially formulated to repair cell membranes while attracting water and nutrients to the cells. The result: skin that’s clearer, firmer and younger-looking.

Massage Envy Spas offer a variety of skincare treatments that benefit every skin type, including:

• Environmental Shield Vitamin C Infusion Facial reverses signs of aging caused by sunlight, smog, pollution and stress. Rich antioxidants, including Vitamin C, are delivered directly to the skin to fight wrinkles, boost collagen production and protect against free radicals.

• Clarifying Enzyme Acne Facial improves skin clarity, reduces blemishes and soothes inflammation. A precise combination of exfoliating natural fruit enzymes, antiseptics, antioxidants and hydrating agents opens pores for deep cleansing without irritation.

• Anti-Aging Facial helps reveal smoother, vibrant, younger-looking skin. To minimize fine lines and wrinkles, concentrated glycolic acid maximizes exfoliation and dramatically improves skin texture, tone and appearance.

• Sensitive Skin Facial repairs and balances the skin with a gentle, effective treatment designed specifically for easily irritated, sensitive skin. Mild exfoliation and a soothing mask help reduce redness and inflammation while restoring hydration and suppleness and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.

“Massage Envy takes the same dedicated approach to skin care as it does to massage,” says Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Developer for Massage Envy. “Our guests know they are in the hands of professionals who understand and meet their needs.”

The introductory price for any of the four signature facials is just $59. Clients can have a facial for only $10 more than the regular Massage Envy massage therapy price.

Fundraising in support of bone marrow donations began April 1 at the spa, with all proceeds going to the Be the Match Foundation. On May 9, Massage Envy staff and clients can take a simple cheek swab to see if they are a bone marrow match. The spa is located at 4301 Lakeview Parkway, Suite 600, in Rowlett.

“Our publicist, Jo Trizila, a bone marrow recipient herself, inspired us to conduct the drive,” said Dr. Richard Klics, owner of the Massage Envy Spa – Rowlett Crossing. “The profound and amazing truth is that a single bone marrow donor can save a life. A cheek swab makes it easy to determine if you’re a bone marrow match. Take a moment and save a life.”

You do not have to be a member of Massage Envy to participate. Walk-in volunteers for the swab test are welcome. The clinic is located at 4301 Lakeview Parkway Suite 600, Rowlett, TX 75089.

Bone marrow donors have the power to heal, Dr. Klics said. For some 10,000 patients a year with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases, their only hope for a second chance at life is a marrow transplant from someone outside their family.

Patients and their families count on the National Marrow Donor Program and the Be the Match Foundation. Over the past 25 years the donor program has made 50,000 transplants possible, bringing hope to thousands more each year.

At Massage Envy, an introductory one-hour massage session (a 50-minute massage and time for consultation and dressing) is just $49.

In honor of National Volunteer Week – April 15-21 – Massage Envy is encouraging its employees to give back to the community. As part of that initiative, Massage Envy is saluting Carrollton resident Stephanie Bush, a massage therapist at Massage Envy Coppell, for her outstanding and continued service to the community.

“Stephanie has a heart for giving. She volunteers for several charities, most notably, her work with HomelessPartners.com and its Christmas Wish program, where she is in charge of arranging donations for homeless folks around the Metroplex. She also is involved with Massage Envy’s Arthritis Foundation initiatives, and for several months, she donated all of her tips to help a co-worker who was out injured,” said Ashley Martin, clinic manager at Massage Envy Coppell.

Bush has been a massage therapist for five years. She says she chose this career for the same reason that she does charity work – she enjoys helping people.

“As a massage therapist, I really enjoy seeing the benefits the clients have when they receive a massage. They may come in with a migraine and leave without one or they may have a lower-back problem that we’re able to help solve. I love helping people. I just want to do everything I can to help those around me,” said Bush.

Bush got her start in charity work about eight years ago, while living in Las Vegas and working for a bagel shop. Store policy was to throw away uneaten bagels at the end of the day, but Bush had other ideas.

“I just couldn’t stand throwing away a huge, five gallon bag of bagels while there were so many people who didn’t have enough to eat, so I started taking the bags downtown and giving them to the homeless. It really opened up my eyes and my heart to homelessness. That’s why I’m involved with HomelessPartners.com. People often have a negative perspective on homelessness, but this program allows them to see homeless people for who they really are,” said Bush.

HomelessPartners.com allows homeless men, women and children to tell their stories, and at Christmas time, make a “wish list” of what they need most. People can log onto the site and donate items on the wish lists – coats, hats, gloves, socks and shoes are some of the most common wished-for items.

In addition to her work with HomelessPartners.com, Bush is actively involved with HOPE worldwide, an organization that’s dedicated to assisting economically disadvantaged people around the world. Bush participates in a number of HOPE worldwide programs locally, including a fire safety campaign and an educational program for inner-city children. She’s also involved with Massage Envy’s charitable work with the Arthritis Foundation.

“Massage Envy does several programs to help support the Arthritis Foundation. Right now we’re helping with the ‘Let’s Move Together’ program, which encourages people to move every day to prevent or treat arthritis. We also host the ‘Healing Hands for Arthritis’ fundraiser in October. Last year Massage Envy raised nearly $500,000 for the cause,” ” said Lance O’Pry, Dallas-Fort Worth regional developer for Massage Envy.

National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 inspire, recognize and encourage people to engage in their communities. According to the National Service Resources website, “National Volunteer Week is about taking action, encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change—discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to foster positive transformation.” For more information, visit http://www.nationalserviceresources.org/calendar/national-volunteer-week-2012.

The national leader in massage therapy, Massage Envy was cited by Forbes for offering reasonable monthly memberships – in the DFW area, monthly memberships are available for $59 and include a 60-minute massage session – plus “a host of discounted services.

“Forbes reported what our franchisees already know: Massage Envy is a great value that delivers ‘bang for the buck,’” said Lance O’Pry, Dallas-Fort Worth regional developer for Massage Envy. “Here in the DFW area we are seeing solid growth as more and more North Texans are experiencing the therapeutic benefits of both massage and facials. North Texans are incorporating our services into their lifestyle.”

Many of the 28 DFW Massage Envy locations are experiencing double digit year over year growth. “In Dallas-Fort Worth, positive same store sales performance is leading current franchise owners to grow their holdings by adding additional locations,” notes O’Pry. “

Contributing to this growth are clinics that have become spas. As Bruce McGovern, who with his wife, Stephanie, owns Massage Envy Spa Preston Park Village in Plano, notes, “We’ve recently added facials and spa services, so our growth curve should continue upward.” The spa just moved to a new 3,500-square-foot location, adding two rooms and separate waiting areas for spa and massage clients.

Massage Envy therapists offer specialized expertise – pre-natal, hot stone, reflexology, trigger points and sports massages. To attract experienced therapists, many local franchises offer employment packages that include major medical and paid vacations.

Thousands of North Texans are turning to massage therapy and facials to relax and de-stress. Exhibit A in this surge of popularity is Massage Envy SPA – Preston Park Village.

“Our revenues are up 20 percent year over year,” says Bruce McGovern, who, with his wife, Stephanie, owns four Massage Envy clinics including the Spa in Plano. “Along with growing demand for therapeutic massage, we will be adding facials and spa services in the next 30 days, so our growth curve should continue upward.”

There’s more to the spa’s growth than revenues. Massage Envy SPA – Preston Park Village has moved to a new 3,500-square foot location at 1900 Preston Road, Suite 201, Plano TX 75093 (972) 964-0600, adding two rooms and separate waiting areas for spa and massage clients.

The Plano Preston Park Village site is the first in the DFW area to incorporate new Massage Envy specifications for color schemes. “It’s a relaxed and welcoming environment where our clients will feel right at home,” Mr. McGovern said. “We’ve evolved from a neighborhood location to a regional resource for spa and massage services.”

The Massage Envy Spa – Preston Park Village therapists offer specialized massage expertise, including pre-natal, hot stone, reflexology and trigger points. To attract experienced therapists, the McGoverns offer employment packages that include major medical and paid vacations for full-time employees. All four of the McGovern’s clinics are actively hiring certified massage therapists, certified estheticians and sales associates.

Alisyn currently is Lead Therapist at Massage Envy Spa Rowlett and has been full time with the clinic for two years. She is a very busy woman. In 2011, she performed almost 1500 hours of massage in addition to scheduling, hiring and training massage therapists. A popular therapist, requested therapist bookings make up 65 percent of her schedule.

Schreiber said, “I am so excited and honored. I love my job and helping people, and I am so lucky to be able to make a living doing something I love. Then to win an award like this – I could hardly sleep for days after I found out. I am so happy I came to work for Massage Envy Spa in Rowlett.”

Dr. Klics commented, “Alisyn has grown a lot in the last year as a person and a therapist. Though she is still quite young, she impresses everyone she meets with her knowledge and experience. She regularly initiates and works on community projects in order to help those in need. But best of all, Alisyn always has a big smile and words of encouragement for everyone she sees. Staff and clients alike love her for her knowledge and appreciate her patience and kindness.”

She joins 2009 Regional Therapist of the Year Jason Michaels and 2010 Regional Therapist of the Year Nina Almandarez. Both are still with Massage Envy Spa Rowlett. Having three Therapists of the Year on staff is both a special accomplishment and source of pride for the clinic.

“The first time was a shock, we really didn’t expect it since there are so many large and successful clinics in the DFW region,” says Dr. Klics. “The second year we knew that we had all worked hard and felt so honored and humbled to have won the award in back to back years. But to win it for a third straight year is just beyond words. I am so proud of my people and all their hard work and dedication to the profession. It is nice to be recognized, but we accept this award with great humility and thanks to our friends and the Massage Envy brand for their support.”

Alisyn is looking forward to attending the annual conference Massage Envy Corporate holds in Phoenix, Arizona, each year. The Regional Therapists of the Year from all around the country are honored at an awards ceremony.

The leading massage provider in the U.S., Massage Envy “believes that everybody deserves a good night’s sleep,” said Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth regional developer for Massage Envy. “That’s why we offer affordable massage therapy sessions with flexible appointment times seven days a week to fit even the busiest schedules. And, with 28 locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, massage has never been more convenient.”

Therapeutic massage relieves stress by easing muscle tightness and increasing circulation throughout the body. Massage also lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol and promotes the release of pain-killing endorphins in the brain.

Clients receiving ongoing massage therapy from Massage Envy report a sense of mental clarity and an increased ability to turn off stressors and achieve optimal rest and relaxation.

Massage also increases blood flow to sore, painful muscles, bringing in healing oxygen and nutrients and helping remove waste products in muscles. The result: less swelling and stiffness and increased flexibility to help eliminate pain.

Because massage helps ease stress, strain and pain, you’re more calm and relaxed and better prepared for quality, restorative sleep.

This Valentine’s Day, show the one you love how much you care with a customized massage and a facial at Massage Envy. Massage Envy’s licensed massage therapists and estheticians can help you choose or let your loved one decide.

Is your wife pregnant? She would probably love the luxury of a prenatal massage tailored to her or a facial. Does your significant other have an old sports injury that needs tending? Or maybe one or both of you simple need a quiet, relaxing massage to help you forget the stresses of daily life.

“For both men and women, a customized massage is a great way to relax and ease pain,” said Lance O’Pry, regional developer for Massage Envy, the leading provider of massage therapy in the U.S. “Massage Envy has great massages for every body type. We also offer four custom facials.”

Massage Envy’s licensed therapists provide a wide variety of customized massages, including Swedish, sports, trigger point, deep tissue and prenatal. Many Massage Envy clinics offer side-by-side couple’s massage – the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

Several Massage Envy locations are spas. At the spas, licensed estheticians offer four customized facials in addition to massage. A professional facial can moisturize the skin, reverse visible signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish blemishes and breakouts.

A customized massage and a facial express love and care for your someone special on this romantic holiday, said O’Pry. “It says ‘I love you from head to toe.’ ”

Recent studies show that just one massage session can lower stress, increase endorphin levels and reduce blood pressure and heart rate.

Alisyn Schreiber and her co-workers at Massage Envy Rowlett know that Christmas is all about gifts given, not gifts received. The result…almost 200 toys for area children.

Partnering with Toys for Tots, the annual Marine Corps campaign for needy children, the staff at the Rowlett Massage Envy clinic collected toys for more than four weeks before Christmas.

“We believe that every child should be able to open a present on Christmas morning,” Ms. Schreiber said. “And every family should be able to celebrate the holiday season without stress or worry.”

Spearheaded by Ms. Schreiber, the clinic offered incentives to both clients and the staff to donate toys. Toys for Tots signs and a donation box were prominently displayed at the clinic during November and December.

“We chose to work with Toys for Tots this Christmas because we care about bringing joy and happiness to those who aren’t as fortunate as others,” Ms. Schreiber said. “Many of us are parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and we wanted to be able to reach out to families in the DFW area. Next year, we want to shoot for 300 toys.”

“We’re so happy and proud of our staff,” said Dr. Rick Klics and his wife, April, owners of Massage Envy Rowlett. “This was their idea, and they did all of the work to make this so successful. It really feels good to give back to our community.”

Several Massage Envy clinics in the D/FW area joined with the U.S. Marine Corps and its Toys for Tots program.
