Meet The Aji Staff! |  |
Susan Heller, Massage TherapistWhen did you start with Aji? Began on call May 2005, but went full-time January 2006.
What made you decide to become a massage therapist? 25 years ago, I bought the infant massage handbook and began bodywork on my daughter. I knew instantly when I saw the miraculous results.
Tell us about the benefits of massage. The benefits are numerous. Massage is terrific for circulation, relaxation, and it relieves muscle aches. It can energize and stimulate the body. Deeper work will bring muscles to a very sedative state.
What is the best thing about being a massage therapist? Being able to truly help others. To make an impression on what I believe the universe wants us to do
What Aji treatment do you most enjoy providing? I love them all. I don’t think that I could pick one. I love the Ho’Dai Gila River Rock Massage; I love the Hon wraps. Each treatment is spectacular in its own way.
What emotional gift do you feel that you offer to Aji guests? I add a certain level of comfort to massage newcomers. I also offer compassion to guests who are already familiar with massage and its effects. I also experience a deep gratitude for the energy I receive from the client.
What do you do for fun when you’re not providing massage? When I return to my hometown in Michigan, snowmobiling and winter sports are fun.
If you could declare a national holiday, what would you celebrate or remember? I would celebrate spirituality at its best. Spirituality done well.
What is something we don’t know about you? Not everyone would know that I’ve lived the last 30 years of my life on a remote island.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what would three things would you want to have with you? A book, sunblock, and water.
Who or what inspires you? Authors that share what they have mastered in simple terms.

Aji Spa Info |  |
Ho-Dai is the Native American word for "rock" and is associated with Aji’s Gila River Rock Massage.
In the Native American language, dipthongs (two vowels side-by-side in a word) are both pronounced. The letter is "o" is pronounced "oh," the letter "a" is pronounced "ah" and the letter "i" is pronounced "ee."
Therefore, Ho-Dai is pronounced HO-dah-ee. For centuries, the Pima and Maricopa Indians have used hot rocks to alleviate pain and soothe the soul.
The Gila River Rock Massage is an 80-minute calming and detoxifying massage. The experience will leave you in a state of intense tranquility...

Fitness Tip | |
One of the best abdominal exercises for toning the entire midsection would be the bicycle. To do this exercise, lie on your back.
Twist from the middle and bring your elbow to your opposite knee, extending the opposite leg straight, just so it hovers over the floor. Be sure that you are angling your shoulder as well, and not just twisting from the arms.
Alternate side-to-side, beginning at 10 repetitions to each side, and work your way up to 20 repetitions to each side.
