More About Me
Well, I've both received and given hundreds of massages over the years.
I took several courses at different schools, the most famous of them being Esalen, but there were several others in Northern California too, including at Harbin Hot Springs. Two of them were 40-hour courses, and I think I did around 200 hours total of training courses. I never intended to be a professional masseur (I have other career pursuits), I just liked it and wanted to be great at it! (More than a few women have mentioned that I am... but see for yourself!)
Most of what I've learned, though, has been from just receiving professional massages from the best I could find. The feel and flow and sense of it all, I find, is far more valuable than any of the massage choreographies we were taught at the schools, though the programs did provide many helpful tips too.
When giving a massage, I'm most comfortable just kneeling on a large bath towel on the carpet. Personally, I don't really like using massage tables, though if you like to use a massage table or massage chair to give a massage, I'm fine on them! So don't bother lugging a heavy massage table or chair here on my behalf, though if you prefer to use one yourself, you're welcome to. I have plenty of clean towels here (and a shower, of course), so just come as you are, unless there's something you especially want to bring, like your favorite oils or something.
I look forward to sharing awesome personalized custom-tailored massages with you. My approach is I try to feel what your body needs right now, which might be very different from last time or next. If you need more of one particular area one time, that's what I'll do. I like to work an area until it's done (and you're saying "Yummmmm...."), and then see what else needs attention. It's funny that we don't always know what we need; many times I've gone into a massage saying "Can you please focus on my left shoulder", but after a couple minutes it turns out it wasn't my left shoulder, it was my right upper back (or whatever pairing) that was the source! That happens often for many people. So I like to scan or survey the whole body to find which areas need that attention, in addition to whatever the happy massagee requests!
Outside of massage, I like fitness (mostly weights), martial arts, Bikram or Hatha yoga, and reading lots on various topics, from philosophy to history to health and more. We'll talk soon.
