I've trained at the McKinnon Institute in Oakland, at Harbin Hot Springs, and in New York.

I currently do:

• Warm-oil massage (Swedish/Esalen style, with long, fluid strokes). PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS
  
  
• Warm-pool WATSU (water floatation/massage, in a pool): sorry, not currently available
  
  
• Clay body-wraps (Detox/cleansing and skin toning)
  
  
• Other detox/cleansing treatments

Because of my many other projects, the amount of bodywork I do is limited. Please contact me for availability for sessions or lessons

Overview of my bodywork philosophy:

• Massage should help one feel connected! Like gentle waves of the sea, my strokes periodically wash over the whole body - even when I'm focusing on a specific part. Stretches and guided imagery (optional) help enhance the process.
  
  
• My massage sequence is non-predictable and keeps returning everywhere. You'll never suffer with the knowledge that I'm finished with your left arm and that's "bye-bye" to it!
  
  
• Instead of "standard fare" – lying face down and face up – I utilize a variety of positions, including on the side.
  
  
• I make extensive use of heat (if desired), both with a movable heat source, and with localized heat treatment.
  
  
• Tea, juice and fruit usually available.
  
  
• Interested in emotion-release work? Sometimes it turns out that way naturally, or we can aim for it.
  
  
• Feel an urge for soul-search and clarifying your vision? Lay counseling or Tarot readings available.
  
  
• Vast choice of background music, on a computer system that can be personalized to your tastes & integrated with your own music.
  
  
• I never schedule sessions back-to-back. If at my place, I'll go to another room and you can continue to relax afterwards.
  
  
• Not a sterile, institutionalized, rushed massage.
  
  
• Less expensive. Sliding-scale options, too.
  
  
• OK to pay later. All in knots - but paycheck day is weeks later? No problem.
  
  
• Choice of location (only for the massage, and with transportation reimbursement) : yours or mine.
  
  
• Late hours available, including just before bedtime. (I'm quite a night owl...)
  
  
• I back up my bodywork with my famous "wet-noodle guarantee" : if you're not 101% satisfied, it's free!
  
  
• Clay body-wraps (detox/cleansing and skin toning) and other detox/cleansing treatments are also available
