Massage by Douglas

About me, my art, and my clients

About me: My name is Douglas and I have been a professional wellness and massage practitioner since 2019. I have formal training in classical massage (2019) and as a Lomi-Lomi master preactitioner (2022, 2024). In massage I have discovered work that brings me much happiness and joy. I love doing something so beautiful and positive for other people.
About my art: My massage style is meant to help with deep relaxation. I combine a mix of firm muscle work, gentle stretching, and caressing strokes to relieve and release everyday tension and stress. When you are on my massage table, you get my full attention, my goal being giving your body, mind and soul a blissful journey. Nothing pleases me more than when my clients get up from my table and I can see the contentment and calmness on their face.
About my clients: I want to create a space that is open to everyone. People of all backgrounds and across the gender spectrum are welcome here. Every body is different and everyone can feel comfortable here. Many of my clients are gay men who feel comfortable being massaged by a gay man. Many women find this to be a wonderful experience as well. And straight men can of course also benefit from my vigorous massages.

Preparing for your massage

I would recommend you not eat a large meal shortly before your massage.
You do not need to bring anything with you. I provide all sheets, towels, oils and creams.
I kindly ask that you come with good hygiene so that I can best serve you.

What to expect during your appointment

We start in my massage studio, where you will find a calm, warm atmosphere with soft lighting and relaxing music in a 25° C (77° F) room.
Before beginning your massage we will have a brief chat to discuss the massage, contraindications, any specific issues you wish to have addressed, or questions you may have.
To begin the massage, I will have you undress completely and lie face down on a heated, comfortably padded massage table. During a standard massage, your buttocks and intimate area will be covered with a sarong or hammam towel. You may leave your undergarments on if you feel more comfortable doing so.
I will then start your massage. A full body massage includes both above and under body work that comprehensively addresses your back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, belly/chest, neck, head and face.
Following your massage, I will use warm, moistened towels to gently wipe away excess oil from your body and help you come around from your post massage rest.
You do not need to shower (which is not possible onsite) or remove residual oils or creams following your massage. I use quality products with are nourishing for your skin.

Tips to ensure you enjoy your massage

If you are lying uncomfortably or should experiencing any discomfort during the massage, please let me know.
If you would like more or less pressure, or more attention in a particular area please feel free to let me know - I want you to fully enjoy every aspect of your massage.
During a full body massage I will at times lift your arms, legs, and head. Try to leave your muscles relaxed, allowing me, not you, to carry the weight.
It is quite normal for men to get aroused at some point during a full body massage, even a non-sensual one - you do not need to feel embarrassed or fight your body's natural reaction.
Most importantly, simply relax, breathe deeply and enjoy the experience!

Frequently asked questions

Can I shower there before/after my massage?
Showering here is not possible. Following your massage, I do use warm, moistened towels to gently wipe away excess oil from your body. At your request, I can also offer you such towels before your massage to freshen yourself up with.
Does the massage take place on the floor or a table?
On a heated, comfortably padded massage table.
Can / Should I arrive early?
No. Please arrive on time and not earlier than the start time of your appointment. I do not have a proper waiting area and starting early is generally not possible.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, I provide everything needed including towels.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes. Contact me and we can either arrange a time for you to come by to pick up and pay for a printed gift certificate or, following payment via PayPal, I can send an electronic gift certificate for self printing.
Do you offer 60 minute massages?
Generally no. 60 minutes is not enough time to provide a full body Lomi-Lomi massage with the level of depth, intenisty and relaxation that I wish to provide. If special circumstances restrict you to a maximum less than 90 minutes, contact me and we can discuss your needs.
Do you offer mobile massage services?
No. I only offer massages at my home massage studio.
Do you offer couples massages?
No, I work alone and cannot offer two massages at the same time. I can, however, offer two massages one directly after the other for a couple.
Do you offer four-hand massages?
No, I work alone and therefore cannot offer that.

What is a sensual massage?

During a standard full body massage, I maintain several centimeters distance from your intimate regions (groin, gluteal cleft, nipples) and the gluteal cleft and groin always remain covered.
During a sensual massage I do not restrict myself in these ways. You lie naked and uncovered on the massage table and I allow myself to explore the entirety of your body, allowing sensual energies to flow. Please do not confuse this with a tantric or sexual massage however. You should not expect explicit massage in your intimate areas nor a “happy end” when booking a sensual massage.

Hygiene and health

Distancing and hygiene concept
I massage at my home studio where I have a limited number of clients and only one client will be present at a time.
Between clients the massage table and headrest will be fully disinfected, all sheets and towels used will be washed with disinfectant, and the massage studio will be fully aired out.
Health
If you are currently feeling sick, please refrain from making an appointment at this time.
If you are feeling sick before your appointment, please reschedule for a later time.
COVID-19
Currently there are no COVID-19 restrictions in effect. Anyone may book a massage.
There are currently no mask requirements. You may enjoy your massage without a mask. I will wear a medical mask during your massage, if you so wish.
If you experience symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 in the days following your massage, please let me know as soon as possible.
