M2M four-hands massage: Special price (training new partner)

Hey everyone!

I have some great four-hands partners, but they aren’t always available, so I am working with another!

He is very handsome, has a killer body, great personality… and he used to be a model in Asia.

He’s a bit shy, and I’ll be teaching him a thing or two this afternoon. Ideally, it would be great if he had a chance to massage today, around 5:30pm.

$100 off normal four hands price (for one hour).

I’ll be offering this one or two days a week for the next couple of weeks. Let me know if you are interested: DM or 0423340238

Cheers

Pat

What My Body Was Carrying | Massage By Pat

There was a time in my life when I was heavily self-medicating. Alcohol. Cigarettes. Food, oily and fried stuff before bed as a “midnight snack”.

Painkillers and caffeine to get through the day, and alcohol and smokes to get through the night.

Thankfully, now, I’ve quit smoking cigarettes, I rarely drink, and I’ve lost 22kg.

I am now very comfortable within myself. And massage played a part. My body was just so tight, and always sore. It’s like I stored all of my stress and anxiety in my joints and muscles.

If you come to see me, you’ll probably see some light bruises on my body (I enjoy very firm pressure, and massage my own pressure points). It has been almost two years since I began my efforts to get healthy, and I am still working on releasing some of the deepest tension and trigger points. Trauma, whether emotional or physical, always has layers. You release one trigger point and discover another.

And I think a lot of gay people, especially people who grew up in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, and even more recently in some areas, have some kind of trauma. The masking, the fear of being found out, the stress that surrounds coming out. The occasional discrimination that hits you like a tonne of bricks (hasn’t the world moved on from this?). It all adds up.

And we do work hard, probably because at one point we probably didn’t feel like we were enough.

While I’ve been working on getting healthier, I’ve also been deepening my understanding of how not only my pressure points and meridian lines are all connected (why a sore toe could be the cause of an even more painful shoulder), but how they’re also somehow connected to my state of mind.

For so long, I was not comfortable within my own skin. I felt self-conscious about my exterior, and felt pain or exhaustion inside.

But now, things are different. I used to need external stimulation to distract myself from what was happening beneath my skin. But now, it is a comfortable place that I can retreat to, and that small change has been life-changing.

I hope I can be a small part of a “journey” (sorry, I know this word is a bit woo-woo) like this for you too.
