Michael Massage

Trained and certified in Bali, Indonesia, this powerful massage effectively balances the body and restores vitality.

Balinese massage is a naked, full-body, deep-tissue, holistic treatment. It uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure, reflexology, and aromatherapy to stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and "qi" (energy) around your body, and bring a sense of wellbeing, calm, and deep relaxation.

The natural hot oils that I use help the long, full body strokes become fluid and free of friction, which makes for a more comfortable treatment. I use organic aromatherapy oils as this forms an important part of a Balinese massage.

Balinese massage is useful for sports injuries as this massage targets deeper layers of muscle, and boosts circulation, The massage techniques work to soothe damaged tissue, and relieve strained muscles and joint pain. The boost to your circulation will help reduce stress and rebalance your body, and the aromatic oils can also boost your mood.

Sports massage specifically targets muscle release and will help improve flexibility, reduce pain, increase range of motion, and boosts the circulatory system. I work frequently with runners, body builders, and athletes.

Dehydration can stiffen the fascia and muscles, which translates to a more painful massage. Ensure you are sipping adequate amounts of H20 before you arrive. As for the commonly held belief that extra liquids are needed post-massage: that is a myth. Massage does not release or flush out any toxins from the body, which means it won’t dehydrate you. Massage helps with recovery from lactic acid but does not get rid of lactic acid. Post-massage, you can just resume your normal hydration habits.

If you are dealing with a serious injury, and don’t have a diagnosis, definitely see a sports doctor. As a massage therapists I do not diagnose. It is not part of my discipline. I will identify and attempt to alleviate any tightness and inflammation in your body, but if a problem area does not feel significantly better three days post-massage, you should likely consult a sports doctor.

Swedish massage, also known as traditional or holistic massage is a more gentle massage designed to relax and rejuvenate using slow strokes, friction, and light pressure. The perfect massage is to relax the entire body and ideally performed naked, to enable hands to move seamlessly from one area of the body to another.

If you are looking to reach the deeper layers of muscle then the Balinese Massage would be a better option.

Natural hot oils and aromatherapy oils available.

4-Hands is transcendent. When two therapists and four hands work on your body, your mind reacts differently. The human brain is split into two and each side controls that side of the body. 4-Hands is the only massage where both sides of the brain receive pleasure signals simultaneously.

At first you might find yourself trying to keep track of the therapists, where each one is and what each one is doing, struggling to keep it all in a very logical order in your head. But very quickly your brain realizes it’s not sure who is doing what, and gives up control. This is achieved through synchronised motion allowing you to go into a blissful space of uncomplicated pleasure.

My Balinese Sensual Massage is a wonderful way to relax that allows release in a comfortable and safe environment. It can also be a great way to manage stress. I create the right ambiance in a calm, peaceful, and authentic Asian style setting, with a comfortable temperature, subdued lighting with candles, and relaxing music.

It incorporates a fusion of Balinese Massage that focuses on removing energy blockages which vastly improves sexual, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, as the energy is able to flow around and through the body more freely. This is combined with sensual, erogenous touch throughout and the use of natural hot oils and organic, sensual aromatherapy oils such as: Ylang-ylang, Patchouli, and Lavender make for a truly pleasurable experience.

It is essential that the attitude and mindset is of the correct intention so that the focus is purely on the sexually awakening aspects of the session that influence the energy flow, rather than the concern being for sexual gratification or eroticism. Even though the massage will likely feel erotic and sexual, this is not the purpose of my sensual massage.

There is no shame at all to be found in this massage as it focuses on the spiritual and healing aspects, however, it is also perfectly normal and natural for feelings of eroticism to take over the whole body, resulting in orgasm. The massage is relaxing, and can be stimulating, erotic, healing, exhilarating, liberating, and is aimed at leaving you with a great sense of emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being whilst experiencing a sensual arousal and high levels of sexual pleasure.

Sessions for men can include body to body massage and tantric elements of therapeutic lingam massage.

Sessions for women can include body to body massage and tantric elements of therapeutic yoni massage.

I create the perfect aromatherapy moment with all-natural and organic oils. With mood-enhancing abilities, they can help to uplift, revive, relax, and stimulate you.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plants such as lavender and tea tree. Each plant has its own therapeutic properties.

Massage is the primary method to enjoy aromatherapy as the therapeutic properties of the essential oils being used are absorbed by the skin but the soft tissues of the body are manipulated at the same time and can stimulate or aid relaxation. This is dependent upon the oils selected for the type of massage that you want. The synergistic action of the essential oils, together with the physical, emotional, or sensual benefits of touch, stimulate not only the organs of the body but the muscles, nerves, and skin.

Add a facial as part of your 90mins massage. Designed to refine pores, draw out impurities, increase hydration, and even-out skin tone all at once. A facial treatment as part of your massage will give you immense benefits.
