hey touchabilities,i would think about sending this woman a card to "apologize" about the incident.  if you want to continue to see her, i'd make sure she understands that it was an accident and that you're sorry.  sounds like she a good client otherwise and we don't like to lose those so i'd send a quick little note to clear things up.  if that doesn't, then oh well...nothing else you can do.

terab, thank you for your view and I have considered it carefully.  Sending her an apology would be an admission that I had wronged her, which I did not.  I'm only responsible for what I did; I am not responsible for her reaction to what I did. I'm blessed that I have a good business and don't have to kiss her backside and beg her back.  The ball is in her court now and I if she doesn't return I'm cool with that.  Also thanks again to everyone for the supportive posts and the humor!  Puts it all into perspective.  After all, it's just a massage, not an organ transplant.Sincerely,

If I were in your shoes, I'd just take it as an example of something new to learn about people. I happen to have a couple of JW clients. They don't celebrate birthdays or Christmas, but they do celebrate anniversaries. (just FYI). An apology for offending is really not kissing her backside. I'm a little surprised at the strong stance, even after time has passed. Along the lines of the "do you celebrate birthdays" question... how about "Check Here to receive special mailings & join our Birthday Club". You really do have to respect their wishes and boundaries. Your gifts were wonderful, warm gestures. Don't let it backfire on you & get you feeling anything other than that way. Would you consider a short phone call or handwritten note, saying that you really don't like to leave things as they currently stand, with bad feelings & all. It was a genuine mistake & you have taken note of her preferences, etc. If not, just move on, knowing something new.Jill/Sagetherapist

This is kind of off topic but why don't JWs celebrate birthdays?
