Food

We will have a 1hr 15 min lunch break each day, plus snack breaks mid-morning and mid-afternoon.

There is a kitchenette, with a very small refrigerator (no stove), in case people want to bring lunch and snacks. There is also a quaint little dining area in the building. The building is located very close to the mall of America so there are plenty of restaurants nearby. 

Because this is a fast paced class, with a full schedule of content and techniques, it’s often easiest to bring food with you so you can maximize your break time.

Groceries

Fresh Thyme Market
Organic Food Market
2100 W 80 1/2 St, Bloomington, MN 55431
4 miles west of the hotels and classroom.

What to wear / What to bring

  • Wear comfortable clothing and underclothing you don’t mind being seen in.

  • Bring anything you need to make yourself comfortable on the floor or chairs during discussions. 

  • Bring a pillow and yoga mat or a blanket to lay on for self care massage time and for when you’re on the table.

  • Bring a set of massage sheets and a face cover for the face rest if you have one. I will bring a few extra sets of sheets and face covers, as well. 

  • Bring pillows if you want extra coziness on the table. It can be helpful to have a pillow or bolster for your legs while on the table and one for your head.

  • Bring your student handbook!

  • Bring paper or a notebook so you can take notes.

  • Bring lip goo and a water bottle. It’s super dry in the building. There is filtered water available in the drinking fountains.

  • Make sure your nails are short and no sharp edges.

  • I don’t expect you to bring all of this with if you are flying in. Please let me know and I will provide for you!

. 

What I will provide

  • Massage lotion. No oil in the classroom please.

  • A few extra face covers for the massage table face rests

  • Breast covers and sarongs to wear for extra privacy when people are getting dressed and undressed. You are welcome to bring a wrap or robe if you have something you like. It’s not necessary though. There is a back room available to change if you want more privacy. Otherwise, wear bra/top and undies/shorts you don’t mind being seen in or getting lotion on. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I could add anything else that would be helpful.

My phone number is 952-240-0132

You are welcome to call or text me.

Flight Info

You’ll be flying into Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP)

It’s only about a 5–10 minute drive to the classroom and nearby hotels. Some of hotels in the area offer free airport shuttles (worth checking when booking). Otherwise, Uber, Lyft, and taxis are readily available.


Hotels

Check with each hotel to see if they offer an airport shuttle. Some do and some do not. These first two are directly across the parking lot from the training space:

    • Element Bloomington Mall of America.
      Suites with kitchenettes available.

    • AC Hotel by Marriott.
      This one may have an airport shuttle but please double check with them.

These two are across the street. They are still very convenient and generally less expensive:

    • Towne Place Suites by Marriott.
      Suits with kitchenettes available.
      No airport shuttle.

    • Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott - next to Towne Place.

These two are a little farther but still very close. They may not be less expensive, but they are good options if the others are full:

    • Cambria Hotel Bloomington Mall of America

    • Hyatt Regency Bloomington
