What areas of the body are included in this massage?

This is a full body massage session which includes front and back. From the tip of your head to the tip of your toes which has a physicality and intensity about it with pressure points and muscle manipulation.

This unique modality of reflexology massage incorporates the entire body at your comfort level. This includes the breast plate and may include the cradle of life (genitals). The cradel of life is treated like any other part of the body as belonging to one integrated system.

Is this an erotic massage?

No. This is not an erotic massage. The intention is NOT arousal or sexual release, although this can happen during the session and is completely acceptable and part of the normal function of the body. In the 10+ years giving this massage I have not had anyone release on my table.
