No gratuities accepted, but thanks!

How come, Allissa? Money is awesome.

Indeed, money is great. And I so appreciate your generous nature. However, I consider the massage I provide to be an important part of your regular wellness care, just like exercising and brushing your teeth. It just doesn’t seem professional to me to be accepting money above my published fees of service.

Also, sometimes people are all loopy and mellow after a massage, and tend to tip too much. Then they feel that they can’t come back unless they tip what they tipped before, and they don’t come back as much. I would really prefer you skip the tip and channel that coin into more frequent massage.

Let’s keep it simple, okay? No tips.
