Many of you have been asking whether we will be open during the Xmas period. We will be closed on December 25th and 26th . If anybody would like an appointment on the 27th, please let us know in advance.

Ella will be away from December 24- December 29 . She will be available again  on Friday December 30th. On the days that Ella is away, Celeste and Sita will be here and both our trainees will also be available on their usual days. Our trainees, Tara and Shakti,  are also  available to do massages on their own, at your request. Please let us know at least one day in advance.

In the New Year, we will be having a guest masseuse joining us for a couple of days. Look out for her photos and bio which we will be posting on here soon.

Ella recently had some new photos taken, and we are posting them below:

Amazingly, it will be Xmas in just 2 weeks’ time. Shakti is off to Italy to celebrate already, so next week, our  ’special offer ‘four- hand tantric  massage’ with her,  will be on Friday December 23rd, instead of on the usual Wednesday.

 Celeste took some fun photos of Shakti and Ella  today  and we thought we would share some of them with you. Watch out for some more new photos soon..

 

I have discovered that after writing this blog for over 2 years, I sometimes feel I have covered most of what I want to say and there is a lack of inspiration for new subjects – if any of you have ideas or questions, please do email them to me, and I can respond or elaborate with an article on the blog. Naturally, for reasons of discretion,  no names will ever be included.

We often get phone calls from new clients, asking us to describe our services. You will find  answers to the majority of these questions by reading the existing articles on this blog. You can browse through the articles by clicking on the various archives and categories in the left hand column on this page.

In the meanwhile, here are some new photos of our pretty young trainee, Tara, who is currently taking classes to gain an ITEC diploma in massage, as well as training in tantric massage, here with us at Tantric Massage London in Kensington, near Earl’s Court.

I received this card today and thought I would post it here for everyone, and in particular those of you who enjoy foot massage!!

Happy Diwali

OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS:

 

OR A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH?

 

We are always interested in your feedback, so do feel free to let us know …. and I am always available for a chat with a cup of tea after your session, if you have anything you would like to ask or discuss.

Celeste has gone on holiday to Italy for 2 weeks. While she is away, both Sita and Ella will be available every day during the week (monday-friday) for tantric massage appointments. We will also have our special 4-hand tantric massage offer on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

 Celeste will be back on October 10th.

Then it will be Ella’s turn for a holiday. She will be away from October 8-17, and during that period, both Sita and Celeste will be available every day during the week (monday-friday) for tantric massage appointments.

If anyone would like to plan in advance for either tantric massage tuition, or tantric massage for couples, we can start taking bookings again from October 10.

We would like to welcome Tara, our lovely new trainee, who will be available for 4-handed Tantric Massage on Thursdays with either Celeste or Sita, for our special price of £150 per hour.

 

 

We will still have workmen here until September 19th – but clients are coming  for tantric massage appointments in the afternoons, and discovering that our second room is just as nice, if not nicer than the main massage room.

We look forward to your comments on the new shower room, which should be ready by September 19th. We really hope you will like it.

In the meanwhile, here is an uplifting quote from Thich Nhat Han:

In true love, you attain freedom. When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love. If the opposite is true, it is not true love. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free, not only outside, but inside.

Dear one, do you have enough space in your heart and all around you?

This is an intelligent question for testing whether your love is something real.’

I have been away in France on a meditation retreat and so haven’t  posted for a while -

Just wanted to let everone know that our shower room which adjoins the main massage room, is going to be completely re-done. The plumbers start work on September 5th,  so we won’t be able to take appointments in our main massage room from Sept 5-16. However we hope we can continue to take appts. in the other room from 5pm -10 pm during the week,  since the workmen will have left by then. We look forward to welcoming you to try out  our newly re-furbished shower room by mid September.

Also, Celeste will be away on holiday from September 23-October 10 and Ella will be on holiday from October 8-17.

But we will have other masseuses covering for them…. and will be  posting all new developments on here…. do keep checking….xxx

I spent 3 months in Ubud, Bali, in 1997 and studied and received massages and treatments from various masseurs and healers. Balinese massage is an interesting blend of thai massage, swedish massage and other individual systems of massage, usually given in the open air. Below is a 3mn. trailer of a documentary which was being made by a young American who was filming at the time – on the extraordinary healing powers of Pogog, a very unorthodox Balian healer who I visited on several occasions. See if you recognise me in the movie.

If you find the video interesting, you may want to read about the life of this healer/shaman and what happened to him after he was discovered by the numerous westerners visiting Bali. It is quite a long article, so I suggest you click on the video below first and watch that. Here is the link to the article:http://balihealer.com/2011/the-strange-case-of-mangku-pogog-balinese-shaman/
