  • Weightloss

    Namaste Apparently turning a new leaf on the calendar is the only change some of us made. I was ready for bed when the phone rang. I looked at the phone and sighed. A call came from that number at 1:05pm, 1:06pm (because I hung up within seconds of the first call, which I did…

  • Taboo

    Namaste Carnival is over.  Thank God.  I am often asked if it is a time when I get an influx of clients.  No.  Not because I can’t.  The pulse of this period is simply too vibrant so most of the time I stay in the ambiance of my home until it passes over.  The phone…

  • Rebirth

    Namaste I was enjoying the morning breeze on the porch while massaging a client at the Home when a gentleman emerged from the doorway with a walking stick in hand. There’s a Therapist here and no one informed me? I’ve never seen him before. He said that he arrived at the Home last week (after…

  • 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…

  • Gabon to Trinidad for Carnival

    Namaste How was your Carnival?  Mine was quiet.  Remarkably, wonderfully quiet…except for the Jovert band that made a raucous along the Saddle Road early Monday morning.  When I got home from work on Friday, I did not leave my house again until yesterday.  That’s my idea of the good life.  So yesterday when I got…

  • Massage Marketing at Trinidad Carnival

    Namaste I rolled over in bed about 10am on Carnival Tuesday morning. I had no plans for the day except to go into Port of Spain after lunch and mingle with the revellers. As I lay in bed mentally debating what’s for breakfast, my phone rang. Massage to be done. Two of my clients who…

  • Massage and Trinidad Carnival

    Namaste Trinidad Carnival 2011 is around the corner. Well, that depends… While for some it is a well-anticipated event, for many others it has already started. Like highly colourful thread on an intricately woven fabric, such are the events leading up to Carnival climax. And I wonder…what is the colour of the thread that represents…
