The two most important skills a massage therapist can have in their tool box are the abilities to listen and to observe because that will inform everything else they do, and give them the ability to tailor each massage to the client's needs on any given day, in any given moment. The interaction begins as soon as you arrive. How you stand, how you walk, how you take your jacket off, how you move when you get up from a sitting position, the bags you are carrying, your overall energy, the words you use to describe how you are feeling and why you need a massage all provide information that allows me to formulate an approach that could be most beneficial for you that day. But, it doesn't stop there. The conversation continues between my hands and your body throughout the massage, and more often than not will guide the work toward problematic areas of which you may not have been consciously aware. I definitely have a pragmatic, therapeutic approach to massage, but the amount of pressure, the length of time spent on any given area, and the specific techniques utilized will all vary depending on the conversation our connection elicits. Once you are on the table, we may not say a word to each other besides, maybe, "How's the pressure?' or "Is this area generally as tight or reactive as it is today?" or "What's going on here?" but we will be communicating the whole time. The experience may not be dramatically different from one massage to the next, but you won't ever get a cookie cutter massage.
