Why haven’t I heard about Esalen® Massage before?

Esalen® Massage is relatively new to Atlanta. Finding a certified Esalen® Massage can be hard. Most people who have been certified in Esalen® went to the Esalen® Institute in Big Sur for their training. Only in the past 10 years has there been a 100 hour program in the southeast. This has made Esalen® training and finding a Esalen® therapist more accessible.

Do you still work with other massage modalities?

Having close to 20 years experience as a massage therapist I use a range of modalities. Esalen® massage supports the use of and was born out of many types of massage technique.

What are the benefits of Esalen® Massage

Esalen® Massage induces deep relaxation and awareness of self which allows for the space to let the body heal. This can be beneficial for pain relief, circulation, and stress reduction.

Do Esalen ® therapists go deep?

We connect with the body in a way that allows ease. This encourages the person on the table to deeply relax which helps with the unwinding of tension in the body. Therefore allowing the therapist to sink in further and further. This may be a different kind of deep than you are used to. We are not digging or pressing for pain.

Do I have to take off all of my clothes?

No. I am here to make you feel relaxed and safe. If taking off an article of clothing makes you uncomfortable you are welcome to keep it on. That being said, you are also welcome to take off all articles of clothing to experience the full effects of the Esalen® session if that feels comfortable to you. I use draping techniques to keep you covered at your comfort level. Genitalia will always be covered.
