Esalen Massage in Richardson, Plano, and the North Dallas area.

Esalen massage is light and gentle in nature, emphasizing nurturing and empathy. The strokes are soft, easy, and slow, prompting deep relaxation. It is used to reduce stress, relieve pain, improve sleep, aid digestion, and promote healing.

Swedish massage reduces pain and increases mobility in specific muscles and joints. So does Esalen, but the emphasis is on treating the body as a whole rather than concentrating on one body part at a time. Client and therapist have a closer, more informal relationship, working together to harmonize body, mind, and spirit with long, slow, relaxing, full body strokes.

One of the myths about Esalen massage is that it must be experienced nude. It is true that Esalen's long full body strokes are better with minimal draping (a towel or less), but with a little effort it can also be done with a full drape. If you would like to try this gentle, nurturing style, let's discuss draping options that will let you be comfortable.

Whether I'm doing Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Trigger Point massage, the gentle Esalen influence on my style is unmistakable. In fact, Esalen is what puts the "Tranquility" in Tranquility Time.

So when you're in the mood for something a little different, something sensuous and relaxing but aimed at quelling the ache in your sore muscles, get yourself a Tranquility Time massage. Call Jim Caddell, LMT, NCTMB at (214) 395-8000 for your appointment today! You know you deserve it.
