Check out this fun couples massage workshop I’m offering. I get so many comments from spouses saying they wish their partner could massage them better…

Maybe connection has gone a little quiet lately.

Maybe you have kids. Maybe you’ve just grown apart over years of marriage... life just be lifing. You still love each other. You just don’t land with each other the way you used to.

Or maybe your partner’s hurting. They sit at a desk all day. Or they work a physical job and they do so much. And you’d love to learn how to actually take care of them.

Either way. This is for you.

Most couples don’t struggle with the technique. That part’s easy to learn. What gets in the way is the doubt... am I doing this right? Am I good enough at this?

That’s what we slow down for.

The bodywork is actually secondary to the level of connection this can create.

Touch can be a neutral, non-sexual way to bring your body and your nervous system back into how you love each other. When your nervous systems settle... and start to sync... you reorient to each other. You calibrate. You co-regulate.

Is your partner skeptical?

Great. That’s exactly what this workshop is for.

You’ll learn:
• Simple massage techniques, and when to use them
• How to help with shoulders, neck and back
• Grounding practices that get you on the same wavelength
• How to co-regulate with each other
• How to give... and how to actually receive

We’ll ground together first... get out of your day and into the room. Then each of you gets a full turn on the table. After, you’ll sit face to face and talk about what you felt.

No experience needed. Nobody’s grading you.

It’s more about presence than performance.

IMO we should get rid of the stigma around n**e massage.

This can be done in a professional, non-s3xual way.

With proper communication, consent & boundaries in place... I don’t think it should be considered wrong.

Done right, it starts with a deep, detailed conversation before anyone gets on the table. What the person is looking to get out of it. Why. What the parameters are. What safeguards are in place.

And they can say stop at any point... and it stops. No questions.

This type of bodywork can be extremely healing for clients and very inspiring to do as a practitioner.ďż˝
It’s an artistic expression of therapeutic touch.

For people who’ve had a lot of unsafe touch... receiving informed, safe touch can be part of their healing.

For some people, being seen naked can be liberating.

There’s so much more bodyworkers can offer clients if we can work on the WHOLE system.

I’ve left so many massages where the areas that needed the most work never got touched.

Glutes holding low back and hip pain. Breast tissue, for women who simply want that work in a non-s3xual way. Who are we to judge that?

And the perineum... the pelvic floor holds tension like anywhere else in the body. For men dealing with s3xual dysfunction who want a more holistic approach, that area matters. Pelvic floor physical therapists already work there. Bodywork deserves a place in that conversation too.

These areas matter... and they often get skipped.

Restored trust in being touched. That’s worth an honest conversation.

Independent LMTs do all the same work by themselves. Why not charge the same?

Do you experience aches and pains from sitting at a desk all day?
Or does everything hurt from performing physical labor?

Thats where I come in...

I’m Mike, a licensed massage therapist on Main St. in Catskill. I’ve been in private practice for over 5 years now serving clients in Greene & Columbia counties.

I originally started in a spare room in my house in Catskill. As my practice was growing and my wife and I were expecting, I decided it was time to get a proper office.

My first office was located on State Street in Hudson. I shared space with a chiropractor and another local LMT. It was quite the humble beginning. Eventually I started outgrowing that space and began desiring a place of my own.

After a long wait and a good ole case of being in the right place at the right time, I landed on what is now my current space in Catskill. Where I’ve been since the start of the year.

My work is a combo of my fave modalities: deep tissue, craniosacral, Thai or myofascial release. While I bring a fair amount of anatomy talk into my sessions, I’m also a firm believer in the mind body connection and all the woo .

My clients often say “I take them apart and put them back together… but better.”

Whether your aches and pains are from working at a desk, post gym recovery, wear and tear from manual labor, stress… or all of the above, my book is open for new clients.

I’m offering 25% off your first visit when you BOOK & PAY online using the code NEW.

My favorite part about being a massage therapist is working with repeat clients and developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

I get a great sense of fulfillment seeing them commit to coming in consistently and watching the transformation.

Aches and pains gone.
Better posture.
More energy.
Happier mood.

Within a few months, most clients come to me for maintenance because they see the value that frequent massage can bring to them.

I offer deep tissue, cranio-sacral & Thai massage at my office in Catskill.

If you experience discomfort associated with working a desk job, taking care of kids or using your body in any other physical manner, regular massage and bodywork can keep you feeling good during it all.

09/24/2026

One of the most common questions I receive, particularly from new clients, is about the frequency of massage sessions. It’s a nuanced question with several factors to consider. I typically highlight three key aspects:

1. Need: While some view massage as a luxury, it’s important to recognize its therapeutic benefits. In certain cases, doctors may even prescribe massage as part of a healthcare regimen.

2. Budget: I offer various options to accommodate different budgeting needs, including packages and memberships, ensuring access to quality bodywork at affordable rates. DM me if you have questions about this.

3. Availability: Scheduling appointments depends on both my availability as a therapist and yours as a client. Finding a mutually convenient time is essential for regular sessions to be effective.

Your health & wellbeing is your best investment! 🙏

I’m combining 2 things I’m really passionate about: teaching and massage.

One of the most common things clients say to me is that they wish their partner could massage them better.

Perhaps you have a tight neck or shoulders from being in the office all day or taking care of the kids and you just wish your partner could actually offer massage that felt good…

Not the cheesy 2 min shoulder squeeze we’re accustomed to.

What would it be like to actually learn proper massage techniques and theory so that you can help your partner feel better in between sessions with me.

Or could this be a fun way to work on creating more intimacy between you two.

In the course of a 90 min session, we’ll spend about 30 mins for each partner learning how to massage the others area of focus. The remaining time will be allocated to transitioning between partners and questions.

One thing I really appreciate is when my client gives me constructive criticism.

An OG client of mine , someone who’s worked with me since I seen clients at my house, stopped coming.

Eventually my automated client recovery email sequence caught with her and she responded.

She politely responded, letting me know how much she valued and appreciated my work. AND. She felt that her last couple appointments weren’t up to standard.

“I just wasn’t fully satisfied with our last session,” she said.

My ego took a hit upon hearing this, and I had to take a deep breath and reflect. My immediate reaction was to think, “There are plenty of other clients who appreciate what I offer.”

Just as I was about to respond from that place, something stopped me.

I realized I was getting offended by the honest feedback I had asked for. This wasn’t a call-out but a call-in. An opportunity to build a stronger connection.

I thanked her for the feedback and told her I appreciated her honesty. My goal is to serve my clients to the best standard possible.

I asked if she’d be willing to try again. After that first appointment back, she became one of the first to sign up for my massage membership.

She recently had to leave due to life circumstances after being a member for 2 years. 2 years of showing up consistently each month, sometimes twice, for herself. And I know it saddened her to have to leave.

This is the kind of magic that happens inside my massage membership. I have a few spots left. Claim yours today.

And ladies, before I say anything, I don’t want to downplay the reality that many of you have experience at the hands of men.

I was working on a massage client who to be blunt, was acting like a creep as soon as he got there.

It’s not the first time something like this has happened to me.

As we were going through the session he kept “adjusting” himself and was gyrating his hips…

All tall tale signs of you know what…

When he flipped over face up on the table, sure enough he was pitching a tent.

Now let’s be clear, I know anatomy. And I know that erections are technically part of the autonomic nervous system which means it happens involuntarily.

So I don’t want to shame him for a function that happens without his control.

But it gets weird when he tries to hold my hand, caress me… etc…

Luckily I was able to simply remind him that this is not what the session was about, which was enough… AND Thats not always the reality for everyone.

I’m very open about being bi. And I’ve made content about it in the past (this client found me through social media) BUT let’s remember the general rules of consent.

Under no circumstances is it ever ok to make these kinds of advances without getting consent.ďż˝
If you’re unsure, it means NO.

If it’s hasn’t been spoken about, it means NO.

A lack of clear consent does not equal consent. It equals NO.

The common denominator here is men that think it’s ok to make undesired advances without consent.

It’s time for men to do better.

This is how I get ready before doing bodywork. I love playing some Avicii and dancing around my office. It’s so settling for my nervous system, improves circulation and helps me get into my body.

Pro tip - this is the better for you than any 2pm hit of caffeine.
