Massaging someone is calming and therapeutic.  I always begin with setting an intention of relaxation for my client and in aiming to release their stress I also release my own.  The time that I spend with them in that calm room, inducing a state of tranquility and healing is almost as beneficial for me as it is for them.  It's such an experience to feel stress melt away as I start to soothe out the tension of the person under my hands. I love to travel and meet new friends who often become clients or vice versa. Which most prefer to meet with me downtown as I always stay in the best hotels where I maintain a soothing ambiance.

​

However, my favorite aspect is the biggest benefit my client receives from having a massage therapist come into their environment.  Once my work is done and my client is in a blissful state of rest, appreciating the looseness of their muscles and the freedom in their joints, they don’t have to make the journey home.  They are already back in their own space. They can slide into their pajamas and sink into their sofa or climb into their bed without having to go out in the cold snow, take a bus or train home or walk along busy streets, re-tensing their bodies and re-stressing their minds. It’s such an indulgent treat to have all of your stress taken away, all of your aches and pains rubbed and eased out of your body and then to be able to relax in your own space; read a book, watch a film, take a bath and bask in the bliss of being tension-free for a few more hours.
