I have known Michael socially for years and am aware of his great personality, easy going style and community positiveness. I do have a therapist that I see weekly, but being a huge massage enthusiast, I will occasionally reach out to other therapists to sample their skills and techniques. Due to a call to jury duty for my regular therapist, I reached out to Michael so as not to miss a session. I was anticipating a well-rounded, professional massage; but what I experienced was so much more.
His friendly demeaner and openness had me at ease immediately. He created a carefully constructed ambiance, and the heating pad was almost magical. His understanding and knowledge of the musculature of the body was quite apparent and well appreciated. He included some stretching and massaging of the hands and feet (which are often times ignored) and took his time with my neck and shoulders. This is all well and good, but what was surprising for me was the synergy and balance of the session. I know when I am receiving a very good massage when I enter what I call my "Zen space" during the massage. Not quite cognizant and not quite asleep. Michael had me there almost from the beginning. I was truly able to let go and just be. Nothing felt rushed or pre-planned. There was a safe energy and sensuality that felt organic, positive and yet liberating. After the session was over, I felt I had been led on a wonderful journey of relaxation and self-pleasure. To say I was impressed is a bit of an understatement.
If you are looking for a truly awesome massage experience, book with Michael. Other massage enthusiast like me will be impressed and anyone new to massage will feel safe and secure and understand what a well-rounded massage experience should be. I will definitely be utilizing his talents again in the future.
Heck, can I just get you to write all my exdotcom posts for me too? hehe Thank you for the all the kudos and the most excellent picture you've painted of your experience. I appreciate you.
