Our first destination on our trip leaving the Bay Area was Sheldon National Antelope Refuge. A contact on Instagram who’d noticed my love of archaeology reached out and suggested
If I Can Just Get Off of this Bay Area Freeway Without Getting Killed or Caught…
I first came to the Bay Area in 2003, from Phoenix, Arizona, living first in the Berkeley hills out of the back of a Toyota truck at the end of Panoramic Way. Almost 20 years of my life and massage career has taken place here.
Observing the Unnerving
That’s a wrap for the 2021/2022 ski season. Last week, I visited Snowbasin near Ogden, Utah to put the finishing touches on a 40-day ski season. As weather forecasters predicted, it was a low-tide year with the La Niña weather pattern keeping the snow totals low. However, I still had lots of fun.
Healing Through Stillness
Experiencing a severe head injury is a lot like being sling-shot into a new, strange reality.
Some Like It Hot
One of the great joys of the nomadic massage life is getting to revisit special places throughout the West. Orvis Hot Springs, based on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountain-ringed Ridgway, Colorado – which I camp at when I ski in Telluride – is one of my very favorite places.

I wanted to begin the process of building a new website that was more descriptive of my services for the public while protecting me through …
Sole to Sole
This week, I was working on a first-time client in San Rafael who had contacted me for a deep tissue massage. When I got to the part of the massage where I climb on the table and stand on the soles of a client’s feet, he was delighted and said, “No one has ever done that to me before.”
Daily Practice
On my recent outcall massage and bodywork visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico, I asked a client during a pre-session intake interview about his exercise habits.
