More About Me (Therapeutic Directory)
1. Experience giving bodywork:
My friend had been feeling overwhelmed with work and life in general, so I offered to give them a full-body oil massage to help them relax and unwind.
After setting the Scene & choosing the Oil:
I started the massage by gently pouring a small amount of oil onto their back, using long, sweeping strokes to spread it evenly across their skin. I applied gentle pressure with my palms and fingertips, working my way from their shoulders down to their lower back.
Working on the Arms, Legs, and Glutes:
Moving to their arms, I used kneading motions to massage their muscles, paying extra attention to any areas of tension or tightness. I then repeated the process on their legs, starting from the glutes and thighs, and moving down to their feet, using my thumbs to apply pressure along the muscles.
Focusing on the Neck and Shoulders:
2. Experience receiving bodywork
After Setting the Scene and Preparation:
I removed all clothing, my friend instructed me to lie face down on the blanket, ensuring I was adequately supported with pillows under my head and knees. They draped a clean towel over me to protect the blanket from any excess oil.
Application of Oil:
With warm hands and gentle movements, my friend began to apply fragrant oil to my skin, starting with my back and working their way down to my legs and feet. The oil felt luxurious against my skin, its warmth penetrating deep into my muscles and easing away tension.
Full-Body Massage:
As my friend's hands moved over my body, I felt myself sinking into a state of deep relaxation. They employed a variety of techniques, from long, flowing strokes to targeted kneading motions, focusing on areas where I held the most tension.
Soothing Touch / Moments of Bliss:
Gratitude and Connection:
After the massage was complete, I emerged from the cocoon of relaxation feeling renewed and rejuvenated, grateful for the kindness and generosity of my friend.
