A truly satisfying full body massage should be integrated in such a way that it makes the body feel like a unified whole. My unique style of Californian Massage utilises long flowing transition strokes over the whole body which results in a massage that is a whole body experience rather than a segmented routine. The client lies face down on the couch and the session opens with a light two handed contact on the back so that the therapist can feel the breathing and sense when to begin the Californian full length body strokes. A blend of warm, light aromatic oils is applied to whole of the back of the body. This allows the client to focus attention to his body and away from habitual thoughts. As the long strokes grow deeper areas of tense, knotty muscles are identified and treated. After about 40mins. the client turns over and the body will be completely oiled again using Californian style full length body strokes. The couch may be lowered to allow an arm or a leg to be gently lifted, mobilised, rocked or stretched. There may be a pause where the body feels hot or cold to allow healing energies to reach deep into problem areas. The client will be encouraged to focus on pleasurable feelings and away from long standing negative mind / body holding patterns. The massage concludes after 1hr 30m and the client relaxes while the body is completely cleaned of oil with a warm towel. Note: Because Californian massage utilises long flowing connecting strokes over the whole length of the body the client should feel at ease with being completely undressed. Tight fitting underwear can also be obstructive when working the lower back or buttocks area. Please take a warm bath or shower before coming to your appointment. Apart from obvious reasons of hygiene, this will relax the muscles and help you feel more receptive to the massage. It will also eliminate the possibility of any reaction between the aromatherapy oils and deodorants or perfumes. For maximum benefit from Californian Massage you should quiet your mind, try to relax and focus on the experience. Do not hesitate to discuss any apprehensions either before or during the massage. Individual concerns will always be taken into consideration.
