About Me

I have been a professional Massage and Reiki Practitioner for about 5 years.  I'm intrigued by the human body and spirit and this profession constantly teaches me new things about each.   Allow me to offer a litte insight as to how I began offering massages with a more sensuous theme.  First, my sessions do not carry labels such as "Tantric Massage", "Sensual Massage" etc.,  because often times people have preconceived ideas about what these terms mean based on past experience or simply through misinformation.  These sessions are a reflection of my own ideas which is what makes them unique & special.  Althought I do incorporate Tantric as well as Esalen principles into my sessions, my techniques are based on what I, personally would expect from a massage. My observations, and feedback from my clients have been  significant aspects of my learning process. This, combined with my training and knowlege of the human body & spirit, has enabled me to offer a massage experience that gives clients both a genuine muscular massage, but with a sensous, intimate & caring setting.  

Because I value privacy, I never send OR ask for photos.  I  am attractive with a warm, pleasant personality.  I take care of myself for a strong, healthy body & mind.   I treat each of my clients with care and respect, regardless of their physical appearance.  If you have ANY health issues, you have a responsibility to inform me PRIOR to the session. 

Purpose & Benefits

My sessions are given with the intention of  inspiring you to become more connected to your body, to quiet your mind and to awaken your sensual energy.  Allowing yourself the opportunity to go inward and simply be the recipent of whole body pleasure.  Unlike most things in your everyday life, while on my table, there is no pressure to perform, no goals and no expectations, other than to relax & receive. This happens when you submit your body & your mind to me from the moment you are on my table.  At that time, I will guide every action so that I am able to ease you into  a "non ordinary" state of  consciousness, or, a meditative state while infusing vitality into every part of your body. Touch has a powerful, positive affect on all aspects of your being.  If you allow yourself to enjoy each sensation and concentrate on only the changes in your body as the session progresses, you will find that your breathing will become slower & deeper, and your pleasure heightened.   

 I will take away as many senses as I possibly can to ensure you are concentrating on ONLY my touch.  I will take your sense of hearing and fill it with soothing, calming music.  I take away your sense of sight by suggesting that your eyes be closed throughout the session because shifting your attention to the way I look, or anything else in the room will not assist you in the journey!  I take away your own sense of touch by asking that you not touch me as this distracts from the touch that is being placed upon you.

  What To Expect 

  M table is warmed and padded and covered with clean, comfortable linens.   The treatment room is warm, cozy and is enhanced by candlelight and soothing music so that you feel calm and safe from the moment you enter my space.  I use a professional quality, non-greasy lotion that will not irritate your skin. A variety of techniques with varying pressure and percussion are used in a flowing, seamless fashion from head to toe.  I incorporate swedish ,deep tissue & mysofascial techniques weaved with Esalen & Tantric principles. There is no part of your body that will be untouched as I aim to raise your energy levels, and continuously move them throughout your body.   While on my table, your entire body is nurtured, pampered and celebrated.   The massage experience that I offer is carried out with confidence and is instinctive rather than a fixed routine, you'll find what comes out of me is wholly natural and something I enjoy doing for those with a mature attitude.  

My Philosophy

I believe the human body is an amazing work of art,  the human mind and spirit are complex and all are deeply affected by touch. I've seen a variety of emotions, and physical responses take place during my sessions and they are proof to me that nurturing touch is something we all need to feel whole and at peace.
“The mind and the body are like parallel universes. Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one”     Deepak Chopra 
 
Massage therapy is not only a science, but it is also an art that expresses and offers pleasure, healing, peace, trust, awareness of body, mind & spirit.  I realize the damage that can occur when we do not take HEALTHY measures to offset the negative affects that stress has on our whole being.  Stress
depletes our energy and hinders our quality of life.  Massage and touch assist in physical and emotional release.

I believe in treating the whole person which to me, consists of the entire body as well as attempting to affect the mind by gently bringing you to a meditative state. In regard to treating the body, I feel that randomly omitting certain areas of the body does not allow a person to feel whole or connected but rather puts out negative vibes associated with shame and discomfort. In regard to treating the mind, I feel that if a massage session is too clinical in nature, or carries a careless, impersonal overtone, a disconnect of body and mind takes place and sets the tone and outcome of the entire session.  This is not conducive to "letting go" and truly relaxing.  The awareness of one's body is one of the greatest self-healing tools available to humankind and crucial to any long term benefit. When the body is understood as a system rather than separate pieces the goal becomes much more than just relaxation.  

***What Not To Expect 

I am not offering nudity, partial nudity, mutal touching or anything else that would involve any part of my anatomy, other than my hands.  No, I do not wear "special attire."  I am offering touch which has nothing to do with visual stimulation and I prefer to not be an object of entertainment.  The intended benefits of the session would be greatly hindered, not enhanced, if you allow outside distractions to become a part of the process (see "purpose & benefits" above)  Please respect the fact that these sessions are not a form of entertainment.  If anything inappropriate is said or done, our sessions will be terminated.  Please dismiss any preconceived ideas that you may have before coming to me, your past experiences with massage are irrelevant.     My long term clients are mature minded, tactful individuals who appreciate a massage experience that is sensuous in nature, intelligent, and given with positive intention and superior skill.   Your well being is a genuine concern and my touch is never careless or mechanical.  My care & energy go into each and every session with no exception.

 Location, Rates, Availability

You will not be going to a hotel/motel, private residence or any other questionable, unprofessional location.  My professional studio is comfortable, clean and tasteful.  My studio does not have a shower facility but I do remove excess lotion with dry towels throughout the session and again with warm, moist towels at the end of the session, which adds to the nurturing quality of the session.  Specifics of my location will be discussed via telephone only. 

Rates are 125/hr   ~  150/90 min   ~  200/2 hrs

I do not  accept personal checks or credit cards, unless  you are an established client.  Although gratuities are much appreciated, they are not expected.  I prefer you save up for your next session :) 

If you become a steady, regular client (at least once per month minimum) I will drop the rate to $125/90 minute session.  If you book appointments more than once per month, I will drop the rate to $100/90 minute session.   However, the above rates will always apply for your first session and will stay in affect until an agreement is made. 

If you are interested in making an appointment with me, kindly email  your name, age and contact number.  Feel free to include a little information about yourself as well as a desired day/time for an appointment.  Once an appointment has been established via email, I will call you at the number you provided to confirm and discuss directions to my studio.
