Customer Review: Great Resource
I have a friend who is pregnant and needs massage therapy. I’m still in school for my licence but am practicing at home as I go through school. I bought this video tape to learn how to massage while keeping her comfortable and not hitting those pressure points I’ve heard about that can cause contractions. I learned a lot of really good techniques and there is a lot of good streching involved in this tape. I didn’t use everything I learned in the video, but the table set up, posturing and foot and leg massages were what really did the trick. I’ll warn you – the tape is DRY! Nothing exciting about the way these two people present. That is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Overall – my friend/client was comfortable the entire time, felt fully relaxed and stretched when the massage was complete. I would reccommend this video. The proof is in the work and a happy client and I had a great expereince with that! Click here for more info on this massage product

The Winding Path

Kevin Kern has become a universal name for beautiful, relaxing music. This intimate, piano-led path through nature creates a resonance of tranquility and peace for pure listening pleasure. “The Winding Path” is ideal for masage, meditation and relieving stress. Kern is joined on several tracks by top new age duo, 2002.
Customer Review: Exceptional music for massage
I’m learning massage and have found this CD to be particularly helpful as a way to pace my sessions and relax into a very giving attitude. The pieces seem perfectly timed to allow an amazing ebb and flow. I have a few other CDs that are pleasant, but this one truly makes me feel transcendent.
Customer Review: An Easy Winner
A strange thing happens every time I listen to this album – I hear the first few cuts and then there’s a blur and the last cut is going by. This isn’t meant as a negative, but it does point out that this is one of those albums that quickly blends into whatever I’m doing and becomes part of the environment.

Much to my surprise, Kevin Kern is a native Detroiter (there’s not a lot of New Age music getting made up here). His training is classical, with a lot of mentoring by George Shearing. The combination has made him a master of improvisation, with a knack for taking the melodic path. Winding Path is his sixth album, done in 2003. It spent some 15 weeks on the charts, which is a pretty solid accomplishment.
