The Rub Blog Cometh!

The Rub Blog Cometh!

Blog Banners for Lisa sepiaish

After years of requests, and no small amount of bribery, Lisa has finally decided to “start writing it all down.”

The Rub Blog with Lisa is where Lisa Keplinger, LMT, Hospitality Consultant, Spa Developer, Massage Therapy Instructor, and President of That’s the Rub, LLC shares her decades of experience, wit, and wisdom, as well as her personal insight on new products and services at The Rub.

Occasionally, there may even be a guest writer or two (Jim’s been known to wax poetic a bit, after all). Come back regularly for new insights on massage therapy, facials, waxing, acupuncture, and other wellness modalities either offered at That’s the Rub locations or that are currently getting our attention. Heck’s the occasional book recommendation or podcast tip alone will make this one of your favorite spots online for finding out more about how to take care of the most important person in your life: YOU!

H&L Magazine Named Us the BEST MASSAGE in South-Central Indiana!

The Center Turns 5!

The Center Turns 5!

The Center is 5!

Bloomington, Indiana’s very own That’s the Rub Massage Therapy Center turns 5 Years old this month! When we first opened The Center’s doors in 2010, we had one therapist (Lisa), one admin guy (Jim, a full-time Indiana University student at the time), three rooms, no desk (Lisa did her first client intakes sitting on a pink plastic filing box), no art, and no store. Things have changed just a bit as we’ve grown to six rooms, twelves therapists, The Body Boutique, and the BEST CLIENTS EVER!

To celebrate, we’re offering the Anniversary 3 Pack Series. This is a LIMITED OFFER (Available March 2015 ONLY!) of three (3!) massages for 15% off. You have 6 months to use them and you don’t have to schedule them now. The Anniversary 3 Pack is available in 2 flavors: 60 Minute Signature for $191.25 or 60 Minute Premium for $204.00. How about that, get three massages AND save money…now that’s something to celebrate! And before you ask, yes, you can buy more than one 3 Pack (buy 20 if you like), but they all have to be used in the next 6 months. Purchase yours online now, swing by the shop, or give us a call at 812-333-3393!

MOO!

Every now and again, it’s important to listen to your children. This is radical talk, I know, but bear with me. A few months ago, right after we opened The Body Boutique, my daughter Cassandra was visiting from LSU (Why isn’t she a Hoosier? I don’t know…but I try to suffer it with dignity and grace). Cassandra really enjoyed the shop, and of course, the massages, but when I asked her about the body products we carry she said “they’re fine, but I’d never buy them…they don’t have any scent. I want them to smell good!

Well, I’m not quite as dense as I look, so I immediately got to searching for a GREAT smelling product that meets our excruciatingly high standards of being natural, gluten-free, vegan, and a host of other minutia that we’re meticulous about. Thanks Cassandra, GREAT IDEA!

BEHOLD,
FarmHouse Fresh!
(in their own words)

We LOVE crafting complex and scrumptious fragrances, but we also offer a range of products made with only essential oils if that is your preference!Our headquarter’s team resides in Texas, but we live in the world of What If. It is a very silly place because sometimes our What Ifs lead us to Why Nots and then we wonder, really, Why NOT?

Why not mush-up vitamin rich, live strawberry fruit cells with whipped sweet cream shea butter? The result is Strawberry Smash – a 2-part Moisturizer sold with a mixing stick that makes lotioning-up as enjoyable as morning coffee. It also leaves skin dewy-soft, and can calm a mean sunburn in just a few seconds.

From charming jelly jar toppers, to delicate glass pour-spout cruets, each product is lovingly crafted and packaged for that special someone who will enjoy it!
