PrimalTouch's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Dec 10, 2021

- For me, sharing my efforts and energies to help others feel better about themselves and reconnect with their bodies is the addictive part. I feedback received as they realize that they are able to rest, release pain, and enjoy touch is quite gratifying. I doubt I'd miss sharing this experience with my clients, simply because I believe that I'll always incorporate touch therapies into aspects of my career and life.

- I've soo many hobbies :-) Its tough for me to select just one. That being said, I find deep pleasure in celebrating the many ways in which I am able to physically interact with the world at large.

- I travel rarely as i prefer working from my private studio. The space is beautifully equipped, peaceful, inviting and allows plenty of privacy. Here my clients are able to distance themselves from the many stresses of their usual day to day. In this way my studio becomes a sanctuary for their “me time”!

- The PrimalTouch Experience is in a league of it's own. I never compare myself to other masseurs. Others have their own talents, techniques etc which some may find beneficial. My clients and I share a judgement free & open space together where they may experience my full attention, touch and connection on multiple levels. Clients appreciate that level of intimacy and openness which certainly sets me in a league of my own.

- I have worked as a bodyworker off and on for over 12 Years. I incorporate touch therapies into my other body focused service offerings as I find they are incremental towards fostering connection and balance. It will always be a part of my chosen professional path in one form or another.

- Study, Learn, Listen, Be fully present and Enjoy yourself

- I became a bodyworker because I enjoy the level of intimacy, and the opportunities it affords to help other get back in touch with themselves.

- My first client was actually one of my university professors :) I decided to incorporate bodywork and massage into my career choices at an earlier point in life. Throughout my youth, I'd wrestled competitively. Being a lightweight however I often found myself first to compete with quite a bit of time between matches. I began shadowing and assisting the team sports therapist/massage therapist. I was impressed by her understanding of the body, and ability to "magically" alleviate pain, aches etc by aiding others to recenter, and rebalance, while sharing her touch. Before long, I was invited to assist during tournaments, esp, the swim team. how could I refuse :-P

- I view my success is tied to the appreciation of my clients for my service. That appreciation is expressed in verbal and non verbal ways during and at the end of each session. It could be the long sigh of release during our session as they allow stress to leave their body and mind, it could be the smile and relaxed look upon their faces, the extra pep in their step as they leave etc... I am fortunate to share my passion for touch with each client. That to me is great success!

- Light and balanced!

- I value time with my clients. From the moment we are together, I focus on their needs and look forward to helping them find balance and reconnect with themselves.

- My own personal journey has involved a lot of study & learning as it stems from my curiosities and desires to explore the human body in every way. I can't say if it is necessary for all, as it depends on many factors. Obviously having an understanding of anatomy and physiology has served me well, but so has an ability to listen both with my ears, and with my hands. Balancing a intuitive understanding with academic I think is the best means of becoming successful.

- I like for my clients to feel they have treated with kindness and love in every way. All too often we become trapped in the “day to day” cycles of life focused around work, or the eternal chase for success and happiness. I’d like my clients to feel reconnected with their body and in some way remember that they are vibrant, sensual beings.
