Massage

As a certified massage therapist, I have been practicing and refining the art of touch since 1990. A session with me centers on a nurturing Swedish/ Esalen-style warm-oil full-body massage. This is not your standard rub-slap-and-go health-club treatment. This is a deluxe massage that will leave you feeling nurtured from head to toe. I also have many years of experience in tantric massage, which blends erotic energy into the massage to provide a whole-body aliveness and to facilitate sexual-spiritual integration. I believe pleasurable touch can be deeply healing. Many people have told me, “That’s the best massage I’ve ever had!”

I work with men, women, and couples of all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, religious backgrounds, and sexualities, including those who are in transition from one gender to another. If you’ve been wanting to get a massage but worry that you are too old or too fat or too thin or too hairy or too sickly or too inexperienced . . . I invite you to let go of such considerations. My massage table is a “Come As You Are” place to be.

I strongly support people with a history of physical/sexual abuse in the journey toward reclaiming the right to experience erotic pleasure on their own terms and at their own pace.

I charge $180 for a session that lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. I offer discounts for students and low-income artists. Gift certificates available.

In addition to state-certification in bodywork from the Body Electric School in California, I bring a wide range of experience to my practice. My training includes shiatsu, Jin Shin Do (acupressure), hatha yoga, insight meditation, conscious breathwork, gestalt therapy, dance, and theater. In addition to doing Body and Soul Work, I have been a writer for many years. You’re welcome to check out my online archive here.
