Back in the late 80's, I used to work at the Kabuki Hot Springs in Japantown in San Francisco.  I learned early on the joy of receiving regular massages.  Several years later, when I was in the police academy, after physical training, my body would be sore and I would use my per diem to get massages.  Even then my body would not recover as well as it used to.  Now, even more so.

Currently, I deal poker part time at Napa Valley Casino.  The dealing, reaching for cards and chips and pushing pots is quite hard on the back and I realized that if I needed regular massages, than so would the players and other dealers.  So, having found my niche, I found the time to go to McKinnon School of Massage in Oakland where I studied Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Carpal Tunnel, Anatomy, and Chair Massage.  I plan on taking shiatsu, sports and Thai in the near future. 

I love the feeling I have after receiving body work and I wish to share it with you.  After all, who does not want or need a massage?  Also, I find giving a massage, just as relaxing and therapeutic as receiving one.  Life is stressful enough.  The human touch is quite powerful.  Take the time.  Smell the roses and enjoy life.  If you don't, who will?
