I came across James profile online and read his "Information Letter" and a few reviews that were posted on Yelp. With the Letter, reviews and somewhat of a fair price I decided to give him a try. First he lives in a busy neighborhood and has no off street parking, I had to drive around to find a spot. Second his table is set up in his dining room right next to the kitchen and the front door (not very warm or inviting). His place is on a very busy street and has lots of traffic noise. He has a table but he does not use sheets, there was only a small towel that covered part of the table. The room was already cold and now I had to lay on a cold table with no sheet. I gave him the benefit of doubt which I now regret. James though I am sure is well intended , clearly has zero training in giving massage or providing healing in a therapeutic space. He is just another man that hangs up a sign for offering "Therapeutic and Professional service" which he clearly should not be doing because he is not a Pro in any sense when it comes to massage. He may be "Seasoned" as a man but not in the therapeutic and healing sense to be a therapist. He gives the profession a bad name. His Letter and reviews are misleading and untrue. A pro will go out of his way to create a warm, inviting space, a Pro will listen to what you tell them about your body, a Pro will adjust the pressure if they are hurting you and not get defensive when asked to ease off, a Pro will know how to work with all body types and a Pro will not be deceitful in what they offer, Pro will have had at least some formal training in massage. If he actually invested some time and energy in getting some training he may have a shot at being an average therapist. I have had MANY massages and worked with some of the best and some of the most naturally gifted and intuitive men and James is neither. I was relieved when the session was over, a total waste of my time, energy and money. The session was not "Professional" or sensual, or even relaxing. Below average in every way. Second worst massage I have ever had. I will not be back and I do not recommend his services. Invest your self- care money on someone with actual skill and training and intuition. "Amazing" how bad he is. I wonder, did he pay someone to write his reviews, or write them himself? I feel scammed!! It's not just me, I told a friend about the session with James and he said he had went to see him before and had the same experience. read more
