Stress Management ~ Pain Mgt ~ General Health ~ Life Enhancement

Robert's ongoing education and experience since 1994 continues to benefit his clientele with a unique and detailed style of bodywork and massage. He stays within your comfort level with an Esalen based deeply relaxing massage, while pausing to integrate specific bodywork techniques to change long-held patterns of tension.

To customize your massage, Robert combines Esalen, Rolf Structural Integration, CranioSacral, Swedish, Neuromuscular, Myoskeletal, Trigger Point, Deep Tissue, Myofascial, and other great techniques. His experience consists of private, clinical, and resort spa settings such as Spa Ojai Valley Inn and Zen Spa. His clientele ranges from organic farmers to high-profile celebrities.

This deeply relaxing Esalen based style of massage uses long flowing movements integrating your body parts to induce wholeness deep within the body-mind connection. It is best to receive this style of massage fully au naturel, with the essential areas draped for your comfort.

Each person responds differently as if to receive what they need deep within. These therapeutic and liberating sessions enable you to breathe easier, relax deeper, and let go of emotional and muscular tension that are no longer needed.

* All bodywork pressure stays within your level of comfort *
* Enough pressure is used to be effective, but you should always invite, breathe, and release *

The essence of Esalen Massage flows organically from the fundamentals of presence, breath, and quality of touch, making this approach such an integrating and healing form of massage.

Rolf Structural Integration "Rolfing®" works on the connective tissue fascia to release, realign and balance the whole body. It allows an expansive re-alignment of body-mind patterning.

A great quote of intention for blending Esalen with Structural Bodywork:
"The receiver rests on the massage table, and the practitioner's hands begin quietly, with presence, attending to breath, allowing the receiver to drop inward. The loving, nurturing, long, slow, flowing strokes awaken awareness, and as the tissues open to the warm touch, the contact deepens, nudging bound-up muscles, drawing forth expanded movement. A relaxing sigh resounds through the body, and the practitioner responds with integration strokes into related areas. The massage continues, seamlessly wrapping the torso, arms, legs, hands, feet, neck, and spirit into a united whole." - Brita Ostrom of Esalen Institute
