Massage – Do I wear underwear? Yes or no?

You’ve never had a massage before or maybe you’ve had a few or maybe you are seeing a new therapist.

For a while now, when it is apparent that women were uncomfortable…

Weird Massages

When trying to think of a topic to include in my blog, I thought of some of the weird massages I’ve given.

Plantar Fasciitis and Massage

The information here is my personal interpretation of the comments made on the podcast about plantar fasciitis mainly for my own reference and posted here for general interest.

Why Female Clients Prefer Female on Female Massage Therapy

Why Female Clients Prefer Female on Female Massage Therapy

  Had conversation recently with a client who had recommended me to a colleague. Her colleague though had only ever had massages from females therapists.  She was not prepared to even consider a massage from a male, despite my clients recommendations. She was only prepared to consider female on female massage. My client struggled to understand it and just put it down to the fact that she was concerned about the potential vulnerability being a female in a state of…
