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

It wasn't until I was in my late 20's that I really started to explore the world of massage. At that time most of my life was dedicated to my career as a chemist, so delving into a more physical, spiritually, and tactile arena was very exciting. I discovered so much about myself through these experiences of connection. A mutual sharing of energy was something very new to me as I have always been in a world of absolutes and analytical data, it really change my perspective on things. Is that too earthy crunchy? I don't mean to be, what I mean is that my previous career was more about isolation where this was more about sharing, it's that simple.

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

I have a wicked sense of humor and I love to laugh. Sometimes massage can be a little too serious, but I find that laughter can break a lot of tension.

Is extensive training necessary for a Masseur in order to be successful?

Training and furthering your skills is always a good thing. It reminds us of things we may have forgotten and keeps us exploring new technique. I try to explore other massage therapists to get tips and techniques and I have also spent some time with tantric specialists as well as group massage settings. I find it useful to explore all aspects. As far as professionally being certified, I am in the process of getting certification... it's about time right?
