  • Brazilian Waxing

    Namaste I got a text message from a Therapist stating that she has gotten a new client who has had a stroke and is suffering from severe pain whenever movement is required. She wanted to know if I had any suggestions to share. I started responding: You should brush him… Then I stopped, remembering that…

  • Dry Brushing

    Namaste After all the talk about ethics I find myself brushing one of my clients, for about 15 minutes before each massage.  The scandalous part is that he is 94 years old.  I figure that Peter is on annual leave so no one is allowed access to the pearly gates at this time.  But, someone…

  • Acronyms

    Namaste I want to take offense, but I am not sure how to go about it. While working with a client at the Home some ladies came to visit the Matron. We exchanged pleasantries as they passed me working on the patio and they proceeded inside. Minutes later another lady, the driver who was outside…

  • Athletic Blues

    Namaste At the end of the football game neither side scored. It was just an evening sweat and I sat watching not understanding most of it. I was invited to the game by the Coach of Team A. Having never met the Coach before, I simply walked across the field to a man who sat…

  • Primordial Attributes

    Namaste We’re in…the New Year. Doesn’t feel new; feels like my regular comfortable clothing with a few stitches missing in the seam or a partly loose hem. But I hope it is new for you, though I rather suspect it will not remain that way. It will toss up a few surprises…the old things coming…

  • Happy…Ending

    Namaste Sat down to write. Heard my gate. Heard footsteps. I waited. A voice called. I went to the door to see my neighbour with knitted brows staring at my ceiling accessories. He came to put me on alert that thieves broke into one of the apartments and left with a new flat screen TV.…

  • Massage Experiences

    Namaste A lady called to schedule a massage.  After parking she called to tell me that her aunt came with her and the aunt is accompanied by her two grandchildren.  So the aunt followed her, and the grandchildren followed the aunt.  Okay.  I looked out the door to see the posse.  Nobody.  She then emerged…

  • Pain Reduction or Induction?

    Namaste Last week COSTATT had their health fair at NAPA and I was invited to hang out with Adepeju at the OMO and BestStart booth.  When I arrived lunch was served so I participated.  One of the persons sitting at my table (or was I sitting at hers?) was from St. Ann’s Hospital and I…

  • Outcall Massage

    Namaste I was toying with the idea of doing a script for the theatre after my recent sit-in to the reading of Tony’s play and wonder which of my experiences I should ‘prolong’ to facilitate this.  Then I to reviewed some of my writings and found this one (the first of two articles on the…
