Selah Massage Therapy

Does your busy life and stressful schedule leave you exhausted, weary and in physical pain? Do you wish you could just have one hour to unwind, relax and get the tension worked out of your neck and shoulders? Do you consider massage to be an unaffordable luxury? If your answer to all these questions is “Yes!” then Selah Massage Therapy is here for you!

My name is Ruth Chase and I am a married student here at Moody. My husband and I just transferred this semester from New Tribes Bible Institute in Wisconsin. While in Wisconsin, I also went to school for Massage Therapy. I am fully licensed and insured in the state of Illinois, as well as nationally certified.

I have an extra room in our apartment in Andersonville, Chicago where I have my massage table, lotions, hot towels, hot stones and ear candles. My prayer and desire is for this room to be a place of blessing and renewal for women who carry so much stress in their physical bodies. As such, I am only charging what I need to cover my expenses and needs. My hourly rate for a massage is only$45.00 (which is significantly less than the going rate in Chicago of $75.00)!

I specialize in deep tissue/trigger-point therapy work, along with pre and post natal care, hot stones, relaxation (Swedish), ear candling , PNF stretching, neck and shoulder problems, and chronic pain (i.e., fibromyalgia).

I would love to be a blessing to you, so give me a call today!

Let's Get Started!

Thank you to all who came to the student wives BBQ kick-off in ASC 2! We are thrilled to start off with our first official meeting of the semester with all of you! Remember our first meeting is Thursday, September 3 at 5:30 pm in the Kimball Room. We hope to see you there!
-Your Leadership Team

Free Vehicle

We have recently been contacted by someone who desires to give his 1992 7 passenger Dodge Caravan, with just under 100,000 miles, to a student who needs a vehicle here at Moody. He will not be giving it to Moody, but straight to the student. I called Diannalee Hart to inquire about the possibility of sending a mass e-mail, but she suggested that I contact you first to see if a married student might need it.

My understanding is that the vehicle runs fine, but I don’t know too much else about the condition. It is located in Muskegon, MI, and would need to be picked up.

Contact information: Stephen Kott at skott@moody.edu if they are interested.

A goodbye...

Dear Friends,
Due to a new season of life, I’m not able to continue involvement with Student Wives this semester. I will so miss each one of you. I remember the first time I came to Student Wives almost three years ago. As a new bride I had so many expectations and insecurities about what life at Moody would be like. Despite my anxiety, God has done some wonderful things above beyond what I’ve imagined. It sounds trite, but it’s true – it hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth it.

I pray that Student Wives has a phenomenal spring semester. It sounds like the leadership team has some excellent speakers and activities lined up. In fact, I’ll still be working at Moody so I may drop in for a few. I will also continue working with the blog until Hannah Stuart-Walker takes over at the end of January. You will still be able to email moodyswf@gmail.com with any prayer requests and announcements you may have.

I hope that each circumstance at Moody grows your faith in some way. May God allow you to grow roots during your short time here, regardless of what lies ahead.

With Love,
Lindsey Sherrod
