To help make this a comfortable transition,I would like to provide you with some of my background and reasons for moving my practice home. I have been practicing massage therapy for nine and a half years. I studied therapeutic massage in Jacksonville,Florida,graduating from Heritage Institute of Massage Therapy in 2004. Immediately following my graduation I continued my studies and received my certification in neuromuscular therapy. I have followed a medically therapeutic focus with my practice ever since. I am state licensed through the Iowa Department of Public Health-Bureau of Professional Licensure (#03884),am Board Certified through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork(NCBTMB#426357-00),and a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP#90129.6). In 2005 I chose to move back to Ames where I grew up to begin my practice. My first clinic space here was in Avenues for Health,at that time on 5th Street in downtown Ames. After a year there,I moved to my current location with Story Medical Clinic for Natural Health at 431 South Duff. I have loved the eight and a half years I have been able to work with Story County Medical Centers and Valerie Stallbaumer,L.Ac.in her acupuncture clinic. As you may know,Mike and I are expecting our second baby this September. It is this new addition along with our amazing 20-month-old daughter that draws me to moving my practice home to allow for more time with my family. I am stepping away from my practice for my third trimester and plan to return January 2015. My planned client hours are Monday through Friday 1:00 p.m. through 6:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. My client hours are by appointment only and I take a limited number of clients per week, so these are simply the hours I would potentially take clients. Through my years of practice I have established a solid client base. Because of this,I have the chosen to no longer advertise publicly and since all therapeutic sessions are only by appointment,there will be no additional traffic coming through our neighborhood on a`walk-in'basis. If you have any questions or concerns about my application for a Home Occupation Special Permit or my practice,I invite you to call or stop by my home to speak with me. You are also welcome to email me at cashimkus.lmtQgrnail.com. Should my application be accepted,you may also receive a letter from the City of Ames informing you of the time and date of the Zoning Meeting for this matter. I welcome you joining us for this meeting with any questions or concerns you may have,as well.
