At sensual Esalen I believe in celebrating the beauty of sensuality my mission is to empower individuals to embrace their desires and explore their innermost feelings through sensual bodywork. I provide a safe loving and discreet container. It’s an evolving mature and yin based practice I would love to share with you. For the past 25 years I have offered the finest in toe curling touch.
What must I do before my first appointment?
By e-mail, please tell me a bit about you and what you are seeking from our session. If I can’t tell who you are, or your intentions, I am unlikely to respond. Verifying you protects me, and us, from people who don’t want you to have a choice in touch. I will not respond to short, soulless texts such as “R U Available?” In summation, heartfelt and respectful people have more fun and live a connected, joyful life.
No. This is a 100 percent every-single-time in your home/ hotel service. I happily bring my table to you. There are no exceptions; you cannot “come to me.” Instead, I will joyfully come to you.
No. Good bodywork and self-care are perhaps the best investment one can make. Through over two decades of providing premium Esalen massage and Deep Bodywork I have found that 90 minutes is the sweet spot for full relaxation, attention to detail and complete integration of transformative nurturing work.
After 25 years of offering sensual massage and deep Esalen bodywork, my preference is to work with clients who are open to receiving a good massage, friendly, punctual, have a modicum of cleanliness, and are discreet. Other than that, I have no preference as to the shape, sex, age, or sexuality of my clients. All are welcome.
No two Simply Good Bodywork sessions are alike not even the rate. Ninety minutes is the optimum amount of time to share my offering with you; the rate depends on where you are located. For a 90-minute in-home or hotel session, the current rate is $250. Cash or PayPal only.
No. Don’t ask, as it’s disrespectful to the massage profession writ large, devaluing to me personally, and I won’t respond to you. I have 26 and years of experience and am usually fully booked. If you’re looking for cut-rate massage I hear there are great deals here though http://www.massageenvy.com
Absolutely, I don’t have allergies and most dogs are great. After inspecting my bags they will settle down after they pick up on the relaxing vibe of the massage session. In fact, over the years, I have really enjoyed getting to know the cats and dogs of my regulars.
Yes. I graduated from Tucson’s Desert Institute of the Healing Arts with a Thousand-Hour Diploma in August of 1998. I expanded my massage horizons during a one-year residency at Big Sur’s Esalen Institute. The learning never stops, as I have taken workshops in India, I am a regular vipasana meditator, studied sexuality from Body Electric School of Massage , Sky Dancing Tantra trainings, Thai massage studies at the Sunshine School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Craniosacral studies with the Upledger institute. In addition, I have done lots of self-work, such as an annual Kundalini yoga cleansing at 3HO’s Summer Solstice yoga intensive and all 8 levels of HAI.
Integrated and sensually holistic. After 20 years of a full-time bodywork practice, I like to think that each massage therapy session is unique and a dance. Some of the moves include: sensual Swedish; unique deep tissue; trigger points; full-body stretches; Body Electric tantric massage; and blissful flowing Esalen long strokes. I believe a good massage is a shared journey, not just a series of rote techniques. Clients who have employed me for years often tell me that no two Deep Esalen Massage sessions are alike.
I believe that massage should be a personal, unique and energy-filled experience. Because I believe in quality bodywork and put so much energy into your session, I limit my massage appointments to no more than one per day (or two if it’s a couple) and 4-5 total sessions per week. I value craft over mass production.
Of course. I believe that massage should be about comfort and connection. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and connected during your massage session. After our pre-session interview I leave the bodywork room to wash my hands. There are always two fresh sheets on the table so you have a choice of the level of draping or un-drape which suits your comfort level before I return to the room to begin your bodywork session.
Touch? Yes please if you desire.
Absolutely I love yin soft touches. We are hopefully sharing love and building energy together and I dont want you to be frustrated. No yanking or pawing please. if you desire I adore interactive thoughtful unfolding touch❤️.
Yes, to your level of comfort. My massage offering is open to touch of your entire body. Yoni and Iingam massage is offered as that is an essential part of your body. I believe that massage by nature is sensual and that the body and soul respond well to being treated and touched as a complete tantric creation. In my experience, profound and positive changes unfold when the sensual tastefully meets the therapeutic. And that is what I offer.
Always. Body mechanics and the longevity of my massage career (I have embarked on the 3rd decade) depend on having a massage table which is adjusted to an appropriate height.
My bodywork style is like good Jazz: Grounded in therapeutic fundamentals yet wildly and smoothly creative. Each successive session is unique from the last. Here are a few of the many notes of my massage jam:
Myofascial: An opening of my massage and a hello. The sensation of "myo" work is that of a friendly Indian burn. "Myo" strokes by nature are accomplished without oil. Myofascial massage consists of slow, connected strokes to move shape and open the fascia so that your muscles can find comfortable space.
Esalen: Wavelike, delicious long strokes without end. My style of Esalen is trance-inducing, deep, sensual and a prominent part of my massage rift. My mentor, Glenn Wilson of Tucson, was an accomplished Esalen practitioner, and I enjoyed a year internship at the Esalen Institute of Big Sur, California where I took the in-house Esalen Massage program.
Nurturing Swedish: An oil-based massage. Featuring sumptuous head to toe long strokes (effleurage) mixed in with kneading massage moves (petrissage). The flow teases out tightness and perhaps some toxins from tired muscles and then moves them along. My style of Swedish is deeply relaxing and hypnotizing. When in the throes of deeper more intense bodywork I return to the hypnotising and grounding Swedish rift often to deeply integrate the changes.
Focused Trigger Point Work: AKA knot work, shiatsu or acupressure. Firm, direct, pointed, and patient holding of bunched-up muscle. The goal is to break up the blockages which enable discomfort and tightness. Point work "hurts so good" because it floods the body with yummy endorphins.
Educated Deep Tissue: During deep work, I listen to your body and use my knowledge of anatomy to go deep without danger. A decade of listening and working with athletes and large adults informs my highly-skilled style of deep work. After my deep tissue you will be able to walk comfortably the next day, and your challenged muscles will be addressed deeply with care.
Yoga-Based Stretches: Stretches are a big part of my massage offering. As a lifelong big man and dedicated yoga practitioner, I love a good stretch. Flowing from my experience, I employ and transfer various asanas (yoga routines) from the yoga to the table into your massage. In reality, attempting to stretch yourself is a bit like tickling yourself. . .its always so much better if you have a helping hand (or body) to assist in your stretchy bliss.
