GENERAL INFORMATION Hello! I'm Richard, CMT, the Gentle Giant (6' 6 1/2"tall) with huge sensitve, caring, nurturing, healing hands. I have years of massage experience and treat each client as a friend. I use the Swedish style of massage with some intuitive work included. Each massage is PERSONALIZED to the clients' preferences and needs: light, medium or firm pressure. Special areas of tension are addressed individually. You are nurtured by advanced therapy massage gel (hypoallergenic) which is very nourishing to your skin and leaves you feeling soft and smooth. It is non-scented. Massages are given in a warm quiet studio on a professional heated table with comfortable, adjustable face cradle. Soft music, and low lighting create the perfect environment for maximum relaxation! Men of color, and older men are especially welcome. Most ads seem to exclude them.

	LOCATION AND AVAILABILITY I am located near the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station (San Francisco/East Bay area) near Interstate 80 very easy access. Pick-up and drop-off service from El Cerrito Del Norte BART available if you do not wish to drive. Real easy access from Marin County, also. There is plenty of parking. Clients come from Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Napa, Novato, Point Reyes, and many other locations in the greater Bay Area. Out calls are available (1 1/2 hour minimum) and are extra, depending on location. You can call me at 510/207-0545 --it is VERY IMPORTANT to call for same day or short notice appointment requests, as I am not at my computer all the time [I'm busy giving massages ;-) ] and a phone message reaches me the quickest. You can send me an email at mensmassage@earthlink.net. for appointments not needing immediate attention.  If you see me online, "IM" me and we can "talk". Visiting the area on business or vacation? Treat yourself to some "ABSOLUTE BLISS"! Appointments are available six days a week from 8 AM, with the last massage beginning by 10 PM; and Sundays from 3 PM to 10 PM . Special arrangements can be made for other scheduling needs.
