Austin's Massage Biography

What distinguishes my own style from styles that I have been taught or other therapists? Answered in a phrase.Assessment, Positioning and Movement. Whether that is me passively moving your body, or you actively moving it freely, or actively against my resistance.

The somatic arts of dance, martial arts, yoga and meditation from an early age holds significant influence over how I perceive, treat, and analyze your body. As many different things have been said of my work….Your experience may feel like... "A very far and intense emotional regression, a grabbing session amongst bros, a Circus O'lei bazaar on the table, a physical therapy session, or a nurturing womb bath."

So as the image implies.... how myopic the eye is with clinical scrutiny or how nebulous it is in nurturing caress depends upon your expressed needs...
