Tashana Spence
Massage therapist

Tashana takes most of the weekday office days and the staff-room visits. She keeps a steady pace and checks pressure at the start of every seat.
Staff rooms
Chair massage in the staff room
A chair in the break room or the teachers' lounge, for people who get ten minutes between shifts.
- 01
Step 1: Plan around the shifts
We ask when people are on break and set the seat length to fit it.
- 02
Step 2: Set up in the room
The chair goes beside the table. We keep it out of the way of the kettle and the door.
- 03
Step 3: Short seats
Ten, fifteen or twenty minutes, clothed, so people can sit and go back to work.
- 04
Step 4: Reset
We change the cradle cover and call the next name until the hours are up.
Good to know
Pressure, clothing and who should ask first
Pressure
We ask about pressure before you sit, and check again partway through. Say lighter or firmer at any time.
Clothed
You stay in your uniform or your work clothes, and seated. We work over the shirt and use no oil or lotion.
What to wear and bring
Wear what you wear on shift. Take off a lanyard, a badge or a name tag if it sits against the chair.
Ask your doctor first
If you are pregnant, or you have a question about whether massage is right for you, ask your doctor before you sit. We do not diagnose.
Who does it

Each holds a certificate from the California Massage Therapy Council, listed beside their name.

Questions about this setup
Can we fit it around a shift change?
Yes. We plan the hours with you, and the sign-up sheet shows which seats are open.
Is a quiet room needed?
A corner of the break room works. A quieter room is better when you have one.
Can we thank a team with it?
Yes. An appreciation day is a full day with two therapists, quoted first.
For offices and markets
