All about A Peaceful Oasis:
What I offer:
Offering massage and aromatherapy for women and women ONLY. Providing stress and pain relief of all sorts of aches, pains, such as fibromyalgia, MS, TMJ and tired achy feet. I am also working on providing relief from headaches via the use of massage, Synergy Stones and essential oils. I provide a unique blend of Swedish, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point which I call "Relax Tissue." The ONLY types of massage I do not offer are Prenatal and true, therapeutic Deep Tissue nor do I do sports massage. I also do not offer "couple's" massage (Ex. Mother/Daughter, 2 sisters or 2 friends) as I am a solo practitioner and really, my room is not large enough. I tend to have a medium, but firm pressure. I do not believe that in order for massage to be good and effective that it has to hurt or I have to "dig." What I do is, I utilize strokes that are designed to relax the muscle first then if need be, go a bit deeper. In my mind, this approach I use is very effective in providing stress and pain relief. My Synergy Stones then do add a bit of extra pressure and depth to relieve muscle aches and stress.

Chasity Jones recommends A Peaceful Oais
I was looking for a place for my very first massage. I heard from a friend about peaceful Oasis and about how wonderful Ruth was. I called today (on a weekend) eager to try! She got me in the next hour! I was nervous but as she made me feel comfortable and relax I finally set myself in a relaxing mood. She used amazing scents and focused on points according to my job. I’m already planning to get a another appointment. Best choice for a massage hands down for me! Also she wanted to get to know me before starting and I thought that I was just chatting with a friend I was comfortable with her! Beyond five stars to me!
Awesome massage! Very relaxing, and an excellent break from work/ life. The essential oils were very nice, and it was an overall lovely experience with a very kind massage therapist
Policies
Policy Notification I appreciate that you’ve chosen me for your massage and bodywork needs. To provide the best service possible to our clients I have implemented the following policies.
Cancellation Policy I respectfully ask that you provide me with at least 12 hour (24 hour preferred) notice of any schedule changes or cancellation requests. Please understand that when you cancel or miss your appointment without providing at least a 12 hour notice I am often unable to fill that appointment time. This is an inconvenience to your therapist and also means our other clients miss the chance to receive services they need or desire. For this reason, you will be charged 50% of the service fee for the first missed session and 100% of the service fee for each session after that. I also reserve the right to require a credit card number to be given to book future appointments so that appropriate fees may be charged if a late cancellation does occur. Groupon clients, this will also apply to you as well, just handled a bit differently. I do understand that emergencies can arise and illnesses do occur at inopportune times. If you have a fever, a known infection, or have other severe symptoms within 24 hours prior to your appointment time, I request that you cancel your session. Inclement weather may also result in the need for late cancellations. I will do our best to give advanced notice if I am closing or need to cancel due to bad weather and I ask you to do the same. Please do not risk your own safety trying to make your appointment. Late cancellation due to emergency, illness, or inclement weather will generally not result in any missed session charges, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis. My usual "rule of thumb" is, if the weather is such that the majority of the area schools are closed, then so will I close.
Late Arrival Policy I request that you arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your appointment time to allow time to fill out any required paperwork as well as answer any intake questions your therapist may have. I understand that issues can arise that may cause you to be late for your appointment. However, I ask that you call to inform me if this ever occurs so I can do my best to accommodate you. Appointment times are reserved for each client, so oftentimes I cannot exceed that reserved time without making the next client late. For this reason, arriving after your appointment time may result in loss of time from your massage so that your session ends at the scheduled time. In return I will do my best to be on time, and if I am unable to do so I will add time to your session to make up for our late arrival or adjust the service charge accordingly.
Inappropriate Behavior Policy Massage therapy is for relaxation and therapeutic purposes only. There is absolutely no sexual component to massage whatsoever. Any insinuation, joke, gesture, conversation, or request otherwise will result in immediate termination of your session and a refusal of any and all services in the future. You will be charged the full service fee regardless of the length of your session. Depending on the behavior exhibited we may also file a report with the local authorities if necessary. Treat your therapist with respect and dignity and you will be treated the same in return.
My Massages
Therapeutic Relaxation
The goal of Therapeutic Relaxation is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Therapeutic Relaxation Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle tension, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
I perform my own unique blend of Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy. I aid this process with the use of Synergy Stones and the essential oils I choose for one's session based upon one's needs. Note: Please inform me if you are allergic to any essential oil(s) or ingredients that may be in my massage cream/lotion. I have plain, unscented massage oil on hand to use of feel free to bring your own. Other Notes: I do not do typical Deep Tissue, nor do I do Prenatal massage.
Also, I play typical relaxation music and have several CDs that I utilize. However, if you desire, please feel free to bring in any music you would like to hear during your session. Again, I do have a CD player for CDs or you can bring like an IPod to your session.
About Me: Your massage therapist
Healthy Well-Being
I put your needs first so you feel better as soon as possible. Your comfort and needs are my primary focus. This starts with the initial intake and a brief interview at your first session. And in each session, I ask what is needed at that time before the massage begins.
A Therapist Who Cares
In order to provide you with the best experience, I tailor each and every session to meet your specific goals and needs. I offer primarily therapeutic relaxation massage which provides both relaxation and pain, stress relief. I put you ahead of any set protocol.
To enhance your session, I even encourage you, if you like a certain type of music and have a CD that you would like to be played or a favorite radio station, that can be an option instead of the typical "spa" music. Also, if you don't like having the table warmer on, I will gladly turn it off. My only real rule for the treatment room is, I ask that no cell phone be used while on the table. This is primarily to avoid any possible damage that could occur to your phone.
Experienced Knowledge
As a trained, licensed massage therapist, I can assess your needs so you get the perfect massage you'll love.
I am a April 2014 graduate of Miami-Jacobs Career College, Dayton Ohio. There I received 900 hours of training, both classroom and hands on. I obtained my license from the State of Ohio Medical Board in July, 2014. I do have a copy of my license displayed in the treatment room. **State of Ohio Medical Board License # 33.021759 **
I take great pride and joy in what I do and I aim to give each client my upmost best as that's what I feel they deserve.
Ladies, please note: I do take great pride in my work. I am very casual, laid back. But, I want you all to know, I am older and therefore some may not find me to be a suitable fit as a massage therapist.
