I had my first massage with Waseem yesterday and it was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. First off, he was able to see me at the last minute which was great, though with his skills I wouldn't expect he'd have a wide open schedule most of the time. I drove to his home and he greeted me with a smile, leading to his well-appointed massage room in the basement of his suburban home. The room was toasty warm and lit by candlelight, with a water feature offering calming sounds. I stripped off and lay facedown on the heated table without a drape, though one was available should I prefer, and he began with a light touch that moved from the tip of my head down to my toes. From there he began to work each part of me gently but firmly, attending to every muscle without a hint of pain, just enough strength to coax my muscles into relaxation with a tender touch in between bursts of muscle work. Heaven must be like this.
Waseem checked in occasionally asking how everything was going, but otherwise was quiet at my request. After an hour on my backside it was time to turn over and he worked my legs, abdomen, chest and arms before concluding with my scalp and face. I've had a lot of massages over the years, and Waseem's massage was one of the best therapeutic sessions I've ever enjoyed, with just the right hint of sensuality to transcend a clinical session at a spa.
Afterwards we chatted for a bit and he is intelligent, worldly and a sweet, sweet man. I've found my new regular masseur to take away the stresses of life.
PS: The photos of Waseem are mostly accurate, though he's lost some weight since they were taken, and I don't know about you, but the photos give him a kind of gruff appearance when in person he's pure kindness.
