Hot Stone Massage
Over the past weekend, I ordered a Hot Stone Massage Set from the good people at RubRocks.com, so I’ll be offering Hot Stone Massage on October 25 for a small additional fee to a regular session.
The Experience of Knowing
On the shuttle bus ride to BART yesterday on the way home from school, I was in a conversation with a friend, and she was asking me how did I know that massage was what I wanted to be doing, how did I connect with my clients, as she was finding that the shiatsu training ...Read more.
The Intention of Touch
zbear20 asks:
Just a follow up to this answer, since you practice massage therapy for a profession, how do you in your personal sexual encounters (as opposed to unpersonal?

FAQ: Myofascial Therapy
Myofascial Therapy, or MFT as we’ll refer to it, is an anatomically specific form of bodywork that is intended to free fascial adhesions, to reduce pain and restore a joint to a fuller range of motion. It is performed on a table from a medium-low height on an unclothed client, but no oils or lubrication are used.
FAQ: Who will be present when I disrobe?
I will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table and cover yourself with a clean sheet. While you are disrobing, I will scrub my hands and forearms with soap and hot water.

FAQ: What parts of my body will be massaged?
You and Paul will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck and shoulders.
FAQ: Will I be covered during the massage?
Paul respects the dignity and modesty of his clients, and understands that each clients’ needs are different with regards to modesty. You can decide upon your level of draping. Generally, though, you will be draped to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
FAQ: How should I prepare for the massage session?
Drink plenty of water – there’s an old saying in the theater, “Pee Clear and Often.” This will allow your body to be completely hydrated and will accept the work more easily. Of course, if you have a doctor’s instructions to limit your water intake, please heed those. Otherwise, lots of water.
For the day before ...Read more.
