the Moon Tree

by now most of you have noticed that my purple car is not in the driveway! YAY!!! its in the garage 🙂 ok, maybe yay for me… i know some of you used that to help find the house. another easy identifier – its directly across from Pine Bluffs Trail. the garden/flower pots are still gonna be out there for a bit too. garden will be moving to back yard soon, i hope. i’m looking into getting a flag w the Moon Tree on it, see if that would help ID the house for you. i can’t advertise my biz to the street, but the flag wouldn’t say any name… just be a mark.

June Pilates Class is now open for registration!

there are 4 people confirmed for most of the month. that leaves 2 more spots. please register if you plan on attending, as space is limited. you may be turned away if you’ve not registered. be kind. please. $15/class drop in. $48 for month, PIF.

Tuesdays, 6-7p. June 7, 14, 21, 28.

Triathlon/Run Coaching

I’ve got several clients working w me to complete triathlons, 10k runs, half marathons… some newbies, some not. if you want to start in, start right, stay healthy & have fun, let me know! i’d love to help you w a training plan to get you to your goal! Not you? what about a friend? spouse? group of friends?

Found earrings!

May 2016: Everything under the Moon, Amber Moon that is!

ambermoon

kitties & wineThanks for your patience & humor as I’ve worked thru my schedule shift this month. i’m doing much better having mondays for office catch up, get ahead & general mayhem. as i worked on shifting my schedule, i got a good look at home many weekly and every-other-week clients i get to work with. WOW. while there may be other open spots, the “regular” unclaimed spots (and i’m talking every other week here) are Thursday from 230-430p, and Fridays at 9a & 230p. yup. it changes slightly when school gets out. so if you can’t get it with me, you know why. regular clients do cancel on occasion, and i try to update vCita ASAP, so there may be random openings as well.

Memorial Day – its a long weekend off!

the studio will be closed on Friday May 27 – Tuesday May 31 so i may have a short vacation.

the studio will also be closed July 4, Labor Day, Sept 26-Oct 4 (more CST training), Nov 24 & 25, Dec 26. that pretty much covers the rest of the year 🙂

vCita – the online scheduler

i’m slowly working on getting everyone into the program. if you would prefer to only get email reminders, i’m going to ask you to go in & delete your phone number from your vCita profile. i’ve got too many clients to do it myself. your email is required to schedule, so emails are automatic. you can also keep both email & text if you prefer. haven’t figured out how to only do text yet. dunno if i can.

the scheduler allows you to book out 3 months in advance. feel free to use that service!

if you prefer, you can also download the vCita app. Yes! there’s an app for that!

tuesday 6p Pilates class20151012sharonboon_175

i’m suddenly getting a lot of interest in this class! if you are planning on coming, i need YOU to go in & save a spot in the online scheduler. if you’re going to miss, please go in & cancel anythign you’ve confirmed. for the month on May, its $15 for drop in, and $48 for all 4 classes May 3, 10, 17 & 24.

my apologies to those that were interested in the monday morning pilates class. obviously it got dropped when i took mondays off from clients. i honestly am not sure where it  would go at the moment, but i’m keeping an eye open for interest & a time slot.

 

Bring in the new you!

In this update

  • Last chance to get your discounted package
  • Wellness coaching for 2016
  • Triathlon coaching/run coaching
  • Bike training at the Studio
  • New studio space

10 session package sale!

As you may have read, I gave up my weekend job (AFAA; i’ve been working for them since 1993), and I’m working on my schedule & finances to help adjust for that. I’ve also had some of my regulars move away, got some back… so I’m having a sale to help me stay ahead of the game. 10 hours (sessions), $550, good checks or cash only. Payment by January 1 please, but contact me if you want to do it but can’t get it to me by then.

Wellness Coaching for 2016

I’m offering a special for people that sign up early, prior to January 1, 2016 – $79/month, normally $119, and includes texts, emails & phone calls (one main conversation per week, with Qs & such the remainder). That’s $20 a week, to help you meet your goals, to hold you accountable, and to move you forward into positive life habits.

We will sit down initially and come up with your goals, and then every week (15 min via phone, or by email or in person) we’ll see how you are doing on your chosen task for the previous week. Some tasks will be eating, some physical, some lifestyle… lots of variety and options to look at to help you progress.

We will need to schedule your initial consult, and then your regulary weekly conversations ASAP, as i need to work these sessions into my regular schedule.

Fees are prior to the start of each month – can be paid via paypal, credit card (in person or i can send an invoice & you pay online), good checks or cash.

So, what do YOU want to achieve in 2016?

Triathlon & Run Coaching

Want to make your tri or race season easier, better, manageable? Want to PR? Let’s work on your swim, bike &/or run technique. Let’s do some very specific strengthening for your sport. Let’s find a training program that works for your life!

Maybe its not for you, but what about your friends? Family? Co-workers? Send ’em my way!

Contact me for rates. Varies based on what you need.

Bike training at the Studio

I’ve got my indoor bike and 2 trainers. If you need help with your endurance, technique, or getting motivated to ride. I’m currently riding at 9:30a on Tuesdays. $5 per ride. Reserve your space by emailing me. I’ve got either 2 trainers or 1 trainer & the indoor bike available for others. We’ll having jammin’ music, fluffys trying to get on the handle bars, and its always good weather inside!

New studio space?

I’m in the process of looking for a new house, a bit smaller, better space for what i want to do with a growing studio. if you live near me, i’m going to ask a favor – if you see anyone in your neighborhood that has a house for lease by owner (not thru a realtor)… send me the address, a pic of the sign in the yard. a few requirements – single story, nice backyard for my garden.

 

Lost my Marbles, Holiday Gift Certs, other updates

Lost my Marbles :'(IMG_20110815_154608

For those on you not of facebook with me, just wanted to let you know that my best therapy cat, Marbles, passed away on Wed, 12/9/15. I had a good 10 months of spoiling her before her liver failed. Am i ok? i’m managing. is there anything you can do? like when we found out what was going on, my vet bill can always use a little help. we had a visit on Tuesday, after she’d been not eating much over the weekend, then the final visit.  feel free to call Northwest Pet Hospital directly at 512-863-9200, ask to put it on my account. any assistance is greatly appreciated, certainly not required. I know she loved working/ helping/ licking the lotion off each of you that came for massage. Thank you for letting her help YOU!

Online Scheduler

Is up & running! Yes, there a still a few kinks in it, and once your appt it booked, I may ask if you can shift your appt 15 min or so for efficiency of my schedule. Last minute openings DO happen! I do my best to get them updated ASAP. To those of you already using it, Thank You! I’m not able to do repeating clients yet, so I’m still sending out email reminders for those. It’s all a work in progress!

Holiday Schedule, Gift Certficates

I’m working a full day on Dec 24, and regular hours on Dec 31 & Jan 1. Please book online if you are looking! And remember to ask your loved ones to give you Gift Certificates to Amber Moon Studio! They can PayPal me the $, make their own GC for you! You’ll act surprised, right???

Clearing out for the new

This past weekend, I worked my last time for my weekend job that, while I have loved, has also complicated my schedule. No more! I’m now here to focus on the Studio! With that said, my studio hours are shifting slightly to accommodate more clients. Keep in mind I do have regular clients in a lot of these slots, and the weird spots are where I’m getting in my own triathlon training.

Tuesdays, 8-9a, 1130-530p

Wednesdays, 8-10a

Thursdays, 1045a – 430p
