What You Can Expect During Your Session

The "Ultimate Massage" is an extremely intensive, deeply relaxing physical and mental experience during which I utilize a combination of techniques including visualization, meditation and therapeutic massage.

Regardless of whether or not you have had the opportunity to experience the benefits derived from a full-body, therapeutic massage in the past, you will find that "The Ultimate Massage" is an extremely rewarding experience.

Massage, coupled with the practices of guided relaxation and meditation can offer an excellent means for calming, rejuvenating and soothing the body, mind and spirit. The art of bodywork can be awakening, stimulating, invigorating and sensual and can help to boost self-esteem as well as promote an overall sense of well-being.

Upon your arrival for your first appointment for a private session, we will spend a few moments reviewing your own particular needs and requests. This helps me to determine any particular "trouble" spots or areas that might require special or additional attention. We will also again preview your session to answer any additional questions which you might have and to help you feel more comfortable and at ease.

Your session then begins with a period of focused relaxation. Even if you have never knowingly experienced any kind of meditation, visualization, guided imagery or deep breathing exercises in the past, you will appreciate the simplicity of this segment as well as the powerful benefits that this portion of the session affords you.

While you lie comfortably on your back, I guide you through a variety of techniques designed to easily relax you physically, mentally and emotionally. With each deep, healthy breath, you begin to feel your body moving to a higher, more peaceful level of relaxation. Very quickly, you begin to notice the calm and serene sensations permeating throughout your entire being as you enter into this very deep level of relaxation.

Breathing is so very important for, as you will discover, each breath carries new, warming, loving, healing, life-giving oxygen deep into your body. With each exhale, you begin to release stress, tensions, poisons and toxins from your body.

Some people liken this portion of the session to meditation while others consider it somewhat akin to self-hypnosis. Technically speaking, the experience falls somewhere in between these two states of being and awareness. This segment of the session is extremely powerful, especially since most people do not take time throughout the course of their day to simply and consciously relax.

We then begin a wonderful process known as, "A Magical Journey Through Your Body," a magnificent experience during which I gently and lovingly call your attention to various regions throughout your body. As you think about and become consciously aware of each of these areas, you begin to sense a state of deep relaxation settling throughout your entire body, replacing unwanted tensions with feelings of softness, peacefulness, stimulation, warmth and perfect health. You begin to become aware of the various rhythms and vibrations in your body, experiencing a feeling of rapport with delightful sensations with which you may be unaccustomed.

As we begin to explore each area of your body, I begin to awaken your sensations of touch with a delicate feathery stroking of your skin. This also provides your body with an opportunity to become better acquainted with the experience of my energy and my touch working in harmony with yours. As we progress into the next portion of the massage, you will enjoy a much more profound sense of relaxation as a result of having experienced this "Magical Journey" through your body. We take our time to slowly bask in these intoxicating feelings of euphoria - truly a "magical" experience.

Then, ever so slowly, and only when ready, I help to you to very gradually turn over to prepare for the next level of the session.

During this segment, I employ an eclectic approach including elements from several bodywork teachings, including Swedish, Belgium, Russian, Esalen, Shiatsu, Tantric, Native American, Oriental and Taoist Erotic. This carefully selected combination incorporates a variety of light and deep stroking, deep tissue and deep muscular therapies, stretching, rolling, cupping and feathering techniques as well as general manipulation and stimulation of the skin, bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments.

I slowly and methodically work throughout the dorsal regions of your body including soothing, caressing and relaxing the back of your head, neck, shoulders, upper and lower arms, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, upper, middle and lower back, buttocks, hips, upper and lower legs, ankles, feet and toes.

In preparation, I ritualistically greet each area of your body with a gentle application of oil and stroking of your skin - a very special anointing process. I culminate this spiritual "dance" performed around each region of your body with a whimsical, feathering touch designed specifically to arouse your sensations and your awareness.

Once again very, very slowly and only when ready, I help you to gently turn over as I apply a variety of light stroking and pressure point stimulation to smoothe and massage the bones, muscles, joints and tendons of your face, head, neck and throat. Methodically I continue to relax, loosen, stretch, caress and soothe your shoulders and upper arms, elbows, lower arms, wrists, hands, fingers, chest, abdomen, stomach, hips, pelvis, thighs, upper and lower legs, knees, ankles, feet and toes.

We then continue this magical "dance" with a process similar to that through which I guided you at the beginning of the experience, balancing and fine-tuning the various energy centers (chakras) of your body.

In addition, as a part of the sessions lasting 2 1/2 hours or more, you are also taken on a beautifully moving, powerfully stimulating, highly sensual experience called, "The Cocoon of Healing."

Your entire session is performed to a background of soft, relaxing music ranging from a soothing piece of celestial compositions entitled, "Golden Voyage," to Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor, to an assortment of selections from Kitaro, and an especially moving work from Raphael appropriately called, "Music to Disappear In." This melodic background provides a magical ambience expertly choreographed to enhance your entire experience.

Your body is treated from head to toe with an array of Sesame and Almond oils, Grape Seed, Wheat Germ, Sunflower Seed, and Vitamin E oils, Aloe Vera, Spearmint and Peppermint Oils. This unique combination of oils improve circulation and lymphatic drainage and aid in the elimination of tissue wastes. These oils also create a sense of peace and tranquility while heightening physical and mental awareness. Utilized in massage, they open and increase the flow of energy, balancing the entire nervous system and help to release physical and emotional disharmony. The oils are slightly heated to provide for a more soothing experience as well as to allow penetration deeply within the tissues of your skin. These carefully selected oils have been honored for centuries for their soothing and healing benefits to the skin.

In addition to the above mentioned benefits, Aloe Vera has the unique capability to molecularly bind with other substances and carry them deeply into all seven layers of the skin very quickly.

Another extremely important ingredient in my massage oil is Grape Seed oil. Grape Seed oil has incredible antioxidant properties and has been shown to be extremely beneficial in rejuvenating and revitalizing the cells of the body.

Together, these ingredients moisturize, nourish and protect your skin long after the conclusion of your session.

The astringent properties of both Spearmint and Peppermint allow them to attach themselves to pollution, poisons and toxins that have settled into the outer layers of your skin and bring them to the surface so that they are easily washed away, refreshing and re-vitalizing your skin.

The unrefined carrier vegetable oils are rich in fat-soluble nutrients and essential fatty acids which are easily absorbed by the skin and utilized by the body.

In addition to my base formulation, I also incorporate several other massage oil blends, depending upon your own particular needs and desires.

One of the most important constituents in my oil formulations is Vitamin E. This essential nutrient acts as an antioxidant in preserving the health and integrity of body cells and membranes. Biological membranes contain phospholipids and degradation of these by oxygen can causeloss of cell integrity. Phospholipids contain high quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the double bonds of these acids are easily attacked by oxygen to produce the toxic fatty peroxides. The extent of formation of peroxides (i.e., peroxidation) increases with the number of double bonds in the fatty acids of the phospholipids, so membranes with a high PUFA content are especially likely to become oxidized.

There has been ongoing debate as to the benefits of natural versus synthetic Vitamin E. Allow me to briefly explain why I choose to use only the natural form in all my oil products.

Natural Vitamin E is referred to as d-alpha tocopherol. However, d-alpha tocopherol rarely occurs alone and it is usually accompanied by d-beta tocopherol, d-gamma tocopherol and d-delta tocopherol. All of these differ slightly in chemical structure but there are gross differences in their biological activity. If d-alpha tocopherol is regarded as 100 percent, the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta forms are 40 percent, 8 percent and 1 percent respectively when measured in biological resorption tests.

Nature is therefore very selective in her production of the E vitaimns but the synthetic chemist is not so fortunate. He is unable to make the d-form exclusively when synthesizing the vitamin in the laboratory; thus the end result is a mixture of the biologically active d-forms and the biologically useless l-forms (synthetic). Not surprisingly, on a milligram for milligram basis, natural Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol is much more active biologically than the synthesized dl-alpha tocopherol.

If you see products on store shelves which profess to contain Vitamin E, unless the vitamin E is in its natural form, you are basically wasting your money on the product as the Vitamin E contained within is basically worthless and can not be utilized by the body.

An important part of all my massage and bodywork involves the use of "essential oils." Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating and immune defense properties of the plants. They contain the oxygen molecules which transport the nutrients to the cells of the body. Without oxygen molecules, nutrients cannot be assimilated. This is how disease begins. A nutritional deficiency is an oxygen deficiency.

Plants in nature are chemical factories. They take in the elements of the sun and the earth and convert them into molecules of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. These are the crude fuels which we break down to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the high octane fuel in our bodies. ATP is a very important part of daily metabolism because it supplies the fuel for our cells. The body requires oxygen and glycosides in order to manufacture ATP. Essential oils contain oxygen and glycosides which convert into glucose which is the raw material of ATP.

Many scientific experiments have shown that essential oils can travel with great speed throughout the body when inhaled or applied through massage. The molecules of essential oils are so microscopic that they can penetrate the fatty layers of the skin. The lipid solubility of essential oils also allows them to travel transcellularly or directly through the cells. Their ability to penetrate through the fatty tissue layers into the interstitial fluids may explain why essential oils enhance circulation and why massage with essential oils can be so beneficial. Essential oils also play a major role in their effect on blood circulation. They function as catalysts in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, while assisting in the efficient disposal of toxic wastes.

Not only do essential oils contain oxygenating molecules, but they also have a bio-electrical frequency. Frequency is a measurable rate of electrical energy which is constant between any two points. Everything has an electrical frequency. Essential oils contain a frequency which is several times greater than the frequency of herbs and food. For example, food has a frequency of between 0-15 Hz, dry herbs from 15-22 Hz, and fresh herbs from 20-27 Hz. Essential oils start at 52 Hz and go as high as 320 Hz, which is the frequency of rose oil. A healthy body typically has a frequency ranging from 62-78 Hz, while disease begins at 58 Hz. A substance with a higher frequency will destroy disease with a lower frequency. Clinical research has shown that essential oils have the highest frequency of any substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc. cannot live.

As an example of the interaction of a substance on the body, a 26 year old man whose frequency was measured at 66 Hz held a cup of coffee. Within 3 seconds, his frequency dropped to 58 Hz. He removed the cup of coffee and inhaled an aroma of an essential oil. Within just 21 seconds, his frequency returned once again to 66 Hz.

In another example, a 24 year old man whose frequency was 66 Hz took a small drink of coffee. Within 3 seconds, his frequency dropped to 52 Hz. Without the use of essential oils, it took 3 DAYS for his frequency to return to normal.

According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using oils thousands of years before the time of Christ. They were mankind's first medicine. There are 188 references to oils in the Bible; and some such as frankincense, myrrh, rosemary, hyssop and spikenard, were used for the anointing and healing of the sick. Biblical prophets recognized the use of essential oils as a protection for their bodies against the ravages of disease. The Three Wise Men brought the oils of frankincense and myrrh to the Christ Child. Clinical research has now found that frankincense oil contains very high immuno-stimulating properties.

Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds. Low pressure and low temperature are the keys to maintaining their ultimate fragrance and therapeutic value. High pressure, high temperatures, rapid processing and the use of solvents or any other chemical will fracture the oil molecule and destroy the therapeutic value and alter the fragrance. Many of the oils currently found on the market (even in "health food stores") are cut with harsh synthetic chemicals and are therefore virtually worthless.

In order to produce the purest of oils, it may be very costly and require several hundreds or even thousands of pounds of plants to extract just one pound of oil. For example, Lavendula Officinales requires 175-200 pounds to produce one pound of pure lavender oil. Rose oil requires 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce one pound of rose oil. Melissa requires 3 tons of plants to produce one pound of pure oil, which sells for $ 9,000 - $ 15,000. I use only the highest quality of carefully selected Grade A essential oils in all my massage and body work.

Your session is performed on a comfortable, softly padded professional massage table which I drape with clean sheeting. The table has a face hole to facilitate comfortable breathing while lying prone.

Some men prefer to wear briefs, shorts, or non-restraining swim wear during their session while others are comfortable receiving the session in the nude, draped comfortably with a sheet or towel. Obviously, the less clothing that is worn - the more smooth the sharing and transition of energy. However, I do respect and honor each person's level of comfort.

I will ask you to remove any jewelry which might impede the smooth flow of the session. This also protects the jewelry from any deleterious effects which might result from contact with the oils.

Massage of the face, neck or scalp may result in disturbing make-up or hairstyle. Techniques applied to these areas can be modified accordingly.

At the conclusion of the session, you are invited to shower to remove the excess oil from your skin, or you may prefer to simply "towel" off the excess oil. In either case, the oils continue to nourish and soothe your skin for many days.

During "incall" sessions, clean towels, soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, and a comfortable shower are all provided at no additional charge.

You are encouraged to shower prior to and as close to the time of your session as possible. If this is not convenient, you are also afforded the opportunity to shower after you arrive for your appointment, before we begin your session.

I hope that you can see that "The Ultimate Massage" is an experience from which you will benefit long afterward.
