After several sessions with this masseur, I can attest that he was not exaggerating when he wrote, in an earlier version of his "About Me" blurb, about his being "unique" -- he is remarkably well-informed about body (and he has a particularly beautiful male body, which he has every right to take pride in, for the work he has done to maintain) and spirit (and his past and ongoing work in this area can bear breath-taking fruit, as well as inviting the client to participate in the client's own breath-based work) -- he does take charge of the sessions, based on his informed assessment of the needs of the client, sometimes discerning needs that the client has not acknowledged to himself. Surrendering to what he is uniquely able to offer can provide unique rewards. He is sweet but not sappy, strong yet gentle, soft-spoken to a fault, but worth straining to listen to, and silly and playful when necessary work has been accomplished. I cannot praise him too highly -- you deserve to experience what he can do and where he can take you.
