DawkGalen - Experienced Male massage therapist in Manhattan, NY

Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like your clients to absolutely know about you?

I am dedicated to my own healing and growth, and I am here to help you on your journey. And I want you to feel good in your own body exactly as it is right now. I will listen to you, and encourage you to ask for exactly what you need. (I may or may not be able to give you what you need. We can negotiate this. I expect you to respect my boundaries, just as I respect yours.) This is hard for so many of us. Sometimes we don't ask for what we want because we are afraid to hear a "no." Sometimes we may not know what we want. It can be helpful to slow down, close our eyes, take a few breaths, and feel into our bodies. I am happy to lead you through a body scan or meditation during our session to help you listen to your body.

Do you remember your first client ? Tell us something about that first day when you decided to be a Masseur!

I don't remember my first client, but I remember being in massage school and we students were required to work on the teacher at one point, so she could feel what we were doing. I remember being a little nervous, but I confidently pushed into her glutes with my fist. I remember she complimented my touch skills.

I also remember working in the school's clinic, and the fellow student next to me was seated at her client's head working on his scalp. A while later, I noticed she was still sitting there, and when I looked at her I realized she had dosed off and was completely asleep. As a diligent student, I was horrified and didn't know what to do about it. Apparently she had narcolepsy. She did not finish the schooling. Sad for her, but when I look back on it, I laugh at my reaction.

How would you like someone that contacts you for a massage to feel when they leave?

When someone leaves here I would like them to feel that all is well. Connected. More alive. Remembering they are an erotic being. I would like them to leave here with a spring in their step.
