Why did you become a Masseur?

I have always been a tactile person and enjoy the skin-on-skin contact with another person. But when I give a massage, I am acutely aware that I am connecting with another person not only on a physical level, but also on an emotional and sensual level. I became a masseur to share the healing and renewing properties of a massage with others and especially people who might be touch-deprived.

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

What a client feels when they leave depends on what they bring to the session. I usually tell people to come prepared to let go and connect with their senses. The skin is our largest organ and can be very sensitive if we are tuned into it. A massage by its very nature is physical, emotional and sensual, and a good masseur is able to sense the feedback the body gives and adjusts accordingly. I am delighted when a client leaves feeling not only relaxed, renewed and reinvigorated, but also having felt sensations they have never paid attention to before.

What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I love the performance arts, so you might spot me at the Music Center in DTLA, or the Hollywood Bowl or some small theatre in a strip mall. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places and cultures and have traveled to 32 countries and counting. I thoroughly love cooking and entertaining and often host brunch, dinner and cocktail parties.
