massage

Massage has long been used by various culture and communities and for a wide number of reasons. Some of the benefits of massage include the following:

Reduced stress
Increase circulation and blood flow
Reduced anxiety
Relieved knots and trigger points (localized and intense knots in the muscle)
Improved and deeper sleep
Release of harmful toxins in the body
Improved ROM (range of motion) in joints
Faster recovery from injury
Enhanced relaxation and peace
...and many others

what to expect from your bodywork

My studio is located at home in West Capitol Hill, Utah, and is designed to be a relaxing atmosphere including scented oil, relaxing music, many plants, a small running fountain and shaded light (candlelight in the evening hours).

My table is covered with a sheet and a large towel. Most individuals prefer to undress completely for a massage, but it is not mandatory. Many people prefer to leave their underwear on. The towel is provided on the table for your privacy during the session.

Most of my bodywork is a combination of Swedish and deep tissue, though I am trained in sports, segmental, reflexology, trigger point and basic kinesiology as well. I combine Reiki healing with my bodywork and can also provide Reiki sessions separately. During the session I will ask if pressure is satisfactory and make adjustments if needed.
If there is a part of the session that you are not happy or comfortable with, please let me know so I can make the proper adjustments.

The work begins face-down placing my hands on the upper and lower back while I "ground" myself and tune in to your body and energy. I let the Reiki energy begin to flow and then begin the bodywork. To complete the session, the bodywork finishes and I end with my hands on the upper chest and stomach while the Reiki finishes for the session. (The Reiki energy is continuous throughout the session, even while the bodywork is in progress.) While many believe that bodywork and massage is important, I also consider Reiki healing equally as important so my sessions always begin and end in this manner giving the client a full session of healing while integrating bodywork throughout.

Please visit my Reiki page for more information about this style of healing.

I pride myself on providing an atmosphere where people of any style can come to "get away" for a very healing experience. I am a very open minded individual and make efforts to be a loving person with soothing energy and a very relaxing/healing touch. I accept ALL styles of clients: Male, female, straight, gay, large, small, etc. Being a gay male I am very comfortable with many situations and scenarios as far as my work but still strive to keep my business professional while being comfortable. I will respect your space and energy if you do the same.
