All about A Peaceful Oasis:

---

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. The same goes for requests of 3 or more ladies. My intention with my longer sessions is that is for one lady to get that length of session at a time. I desire to give each my upmost best and I find it difficult to provide the service I love giving by splitting up sessions and doing more than one lady in a single appointment. 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.

Great massage!  Works around your schedule.

The most relaxing , peaceful place for my first massage. I cant wait to return. I will be a forever customer.  Very happy I went. Thank you for making my experience memorable.  See you soon.

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

Ruth is a lovely woman and we enjoyed a peaceful afternoon massage while in town for the weekend. It's a bit of an odd location, but her prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is peaceful. She was kind and the warm roller was especially wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

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 and Rescheduling Policy I respectfully ask that you provide me with at least 12 hour (24 hour preferred) notice of any schedule changes(or at least 2 hours if running late)  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. ****Please note: The only phone number to call or text to let me know that your appointment needs to be changed is (937) 344-6156.*** *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. I also ask that when it comes to calling/texting,  please  no calls or texts before 8am  and none after 9pm. And please leave a voicemail should you get no answer.

*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 I may have. I understand that issues can arise that may cause you to be late for your appointment. However, I ask that you call or text to inform me if this ever occurs so I can do my best to accommodate you, preferably 2 hours prior to your appointment. 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. *NOTE*:  If you are more than 5 but less than 10 minutes late, I will deduct 5 minutes off your session or if you are 15-20 (or more) minutes late, your session will be  cancelled and rescheduled.  Repeat offenders will be requested not to come back.  In return I will do my best to be on time ( I typically arrive 30 minutes prior), 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.
