Essential Touch

Essential Touch

Remember when you were little, perhaps, your mother or father would gently stroke your hair before you fell asleep? When you were hugged and you felt the loving arms around you that gave you a profound sense of safety? These feelings are just as important to your emotional and physical well-being as it is to see your doctor on a regular basis. When this tender, loving care is absent from your child life it will have an effect on your life as a growing adult, on your relationships and your ability to give and receive affection. You might even question your own self worth. As important as it is to getting a deep tissue massage, as important as it is to work and to care for those in your life who depend upon you, it is just as important to feed your soul and your desire to feel the soft touch of another person.
Soft Touch Bodywork is the same as having a completely grand and perfectly balanced meal. Everything before you is perfect for your health and to delightful to your taste. Yes, we can surely survive on bread and water for a substantial amount of time, but you would not be 100 percent healthy. Eventually this would wear down the rest of your physical and mental abilities. You would simply be surviving.. .. We want to thrive... not merely survive.
Anyone can go for a deep tissue massage. Anyone at anytime anyone can feel the touch of another person via sexual intercourse, a shake of a hand, a passing pat on the shoulder, a hug from a child. All of these things are essential to one's balanced self. I don't want to diminish or minimize the need for any and all of these beautiful touches....... But absolutely none of these quenches our deep desire to be gently caressed and adored without hesitation. To be vulnerable, to let go of our insecurities about our physical looks for an hour out of our lives and allow ourselves the gift of being without fear or judgement for even a short amount of time is a gift beyond gifts.

Mind & Body Infusion


Where one begins and the other ends becomes nothing more than a fuzzy blur. Who's Knocking at your door.
Ideas, agendas, inferences and a menu of sorts is already set in your head when you walk through the door. Everyone has an agenda. Everyone thinks they know exactly what they need and want and for general purpose that is true. But when you walk through a Tantrika's door and enter her/his world the menus and agendas are cast off into the wind from a mere whisper of wind from a curtain.
The key to an abosolutely, insanely great Tantra or Massage session is the ability to let go of everything thought, every feeling, every sound, every sight except those placed upon you by your guide. To do this for your client takes great care, patience and passion for the art that is... Holistic Healing.
Every Practitioner, or 'Artist', has their own way and belief system that governs the way in which they practice their modality. I say, "belief system", because this sort of healing is not drawn from a menu. It is not something you can learn from a book or be taught. This is something that comes from within and is transferred out to the universe at any given time.. and most assuredly is gently caressed into the very core of the one who is laid out before you.
The body speaks the truth. The brain has excuses, definitions, walls and in general is cluttered up with daily duties of the day, the memories, that while one might believe they've forgotten, stand tall at the doorway of your Id diligently building up those walls one brick at a time, one day at time, one memory at a time until its shadow alone would stop any real feelings from daring to even think they had a chance at seeing the doorway let alone slipping through it.
Listen intently to what is not being said. Listen to a sigh, a slight movement, a twitter of a toe, a half breath, hands that slowly relax from fetal position allowing the fingers to actually have some space between them and to slowly watch them reach out, as they open for you, reach out to the universe as if to say.. fill me, empty me, take care of me, I'm yours. This is why people come to you. Though I would venture that if you asked them directly why they sought you out.. they would say... I heard "Tantra" was erotic **translation: I want a good orgasm**. Hey, this is good enough of a reason for me. Why, you might ask after all the deep glop you just read.. Why.... because... it gets them in the door. What they think they want is not always what they truly need.
You walk through my curtain...... I immediately take control
