  • Inappropriate Touching

    Namaste I sat astride a poof doing massage on the leg of one of my elderly friends. Her heel was resting on the poof and her dress drawn up over her knee. When I had arrived earlier, she was lounging in her chair and eagerly got up and came to the gate to greet me.…

  • Massage and Ethics

    Namaste The phone rang. It was one of my clients who I sidelined the day before because there was too much rain on the outside and my love for massage does not include going into Port of Spain through flooded streets to get to a waiting client. He said he is here for a few…

  • Massage Therapists – Born or Made?

    Namaste   My Dad was recently talking to me about leaders.  He spoke of people who like a certain role and assume it, people who are prompted by other people to assume a certain role, and people who are assigned to a certain role by their Creator.  It was a lengthy conversation.  As we were…

  • Massage for Healthy Breasts

    Namaste Years ago I had a client who used to be a Teacher before he stepped into the Oil Industry to become involved in Training. He claims he made the shift partly because he was tired of teenage students coming on to him. The difference in the pay cheques also played a part. Each week…

  • Infant Massage – Understanding Baby Cues

    Namaste Motherhood was trusted upon me somewhere between ages 9-10. We had a tenant who rented the bottom flat who was also one of my mother’s workmates. She had recently gotten a baby and due to some complications (non-physical) my sisters and I played babysitters. The baby had been circumcised and was still healing and…

  • Zip-a-dee-doo-dah

    Namaste It was rather unwitting to have four holidays in one month. Someone ought to have known that it would backfire. Teachers do not want holidays during their holidays. Now that they have taken two days to rest and reflect there is a fuss. They still have two more to take… While they are reflecting,…

  • Stress Management

    Namaste When I showed up at Tanty’s door recently I found her mopping. She had forgotten that I was scheduled to visit. I tiptoed in and sat with my feet up on the chair…with her permission…and waited. She was also attending to a ‘junkie’ whom she usually engages to clean the yard. She had given…

  • Care for the Elderly

    Namaste I was visiting with Lady T last week. She is doing fine, by my definition. From her perspective, she is a tortured soul. She told me that Christ came here to Earth because his Father sent him to do something. He had a purpose, but this is not the case with her. She was…

  • 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…
