A Thank You & Farewell

Method Bodywork will end its operations on September 30, 2025

A Message from Brett

Fifteen years ago, unsatisfied by my job in healthcare, I set out to help people through massage. My love language is touch and I’m a caretaker by nature, so massage seemed like the perfect side gig to scratch both of those itches at once. Over the years, through my massage and natural healing connections, I discovered and learned to love energy and spiritual healing through chakra balancing and the use of crystals and sound therapy. All told, the past 15 years have been more rewarding than I ever could have imagined and YOU have played an important role in that happiness and in my success.

In November of last year, I met a spiritual teacher who has allowed me to realize my true purpose in life and, approaching my mid-40’s, feel it’s the time to embrace who I really am. I find myself in a tough situation having to weigh a rewarding, part time gig doing massage with being true to myself, accepting who I am, and following my spiritual path. It is with pain in my heart that, I say farewell to Method Bodywork and my work with you on September 30, 2025. Thank you again, for being a part of 15 wonderful years. I wish you all the best. Our work together will remain in my memory for years to come.

My thanks, well-wishes, and hopes for good health go out to you all. Today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your days.

Be Well

Brett

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still see you between now at September?

Yes. You may still book as you normally do at methodbodywork.com or in the Vagaro app.

Can I use my Rub Rewards (points)?

Yes. Between June 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025, you may use any Rub Rewards points you’ve earned to pay towards any service you book (e.g., pay with a mix of points and cash). Keep in mind that points are not transferrable and have no cash value. Starting July 1, 2025 sessions will no longer earn points. The Rub Rewards program will end on August 31, 2025 and any unused points after that date will be forfeited. To check your Rub Rewards points balance, go to https://www.vagaro.com/myaccount/points

What will happen to my membership?

My members have always been the lifeblood of Method Bodywork and it is only appropriate that I reach out to you individually to discuss options, express my sincerest thanks, and find a workable solution for you. Sit tight. I’ll be in touch if I haven't already done so…

Will you still be doing massage after September?

Massage was never my full-time job. It’s always been more of a hobby / travel fund. As I turn the page on this chapter, my focus will be on my own spiritual path, healing and serving others through my spiritual service. That said, massage and energy work it is something that I enjoy and, if you are interested in seeing me on an intermittent basis without the bells and whistles of hot stones, salt scrubs, etc. send me a text at (562) 841-8019 or ask me next time you are in and we can work something out.

Are you becoming a monk?

You won’t be seeing me at your local church, temple, or mandir. And those of you who I’ve become close with, are aware of the spiritual path I’m on. If you’re feeling nosey, I’m not shy, ask away!

Do you have recommendations on other massage therapists I can see on a regular basis after September?

Absolutely! I’m happy to have many massage therapist acquaintances in the Long Beach / Orange County / South Bay area and will be working with them to transition any client who expresses an interest to me in doing so. One of the things I have prided myself on, is customizing each client's treatment plan to their unique needs, which is why I am not listing every colleague I endorse in this email. If you are interested in a referral to another massage therapist or energy healer, send me a text at (562) 841-8019 or ask me next time you are in, so I can refer you to a colleague who will best meet your needs.
