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

Customer Review: I love the DVD
The video is great and I have incorporated the towel draping in my practice. Yes i am a CMT with over 1,000 hours of training and have my practice in Colorado. Most of my clients really love just having a towel including the women and i do get a few who are uncomfortable and we go with a sheet. The reason for a towel is to make the broad long strokes and not have anything in the way. If you people who are CMT’s or LMT’s find that sexual then you need to change professions. as for being close to the private area, have you ever done adductor work? You get closer to the private area with adductor work or even lower abs work than you do with Esalen Massage.
Customer Review: Not for couples
It’s tough to rate this one because I was specifically looking for intimate massage. The setting is breathtaking, but the presentation is more professional how-to or “travel destination”. Nothing intimate or arousing for two people in the privacy of their own home, but they may consider actually going to Esalen for a getaway. Click here for more info on this massage product

Featured at the Cannes Film Festival and winner of 6 awards at international film and video festivals, this DVD brings the techniques displayed in “The Art of Sensual Massage” to life on your screen.
Customer Review: Useful DVD
The Art of Sensual Massage DVD is divided into sections that correspond with different parts of the body. The Chest and Abdomen contain massage strokes for that area, with every step show very clearly. You can see the motion that you need to use and the exact pressure. This is very important if you want to learn to give your own sensual massage to your friends and lovers.

I found this to be a complete and humanistic treatment of an often abused subject. In fact, massage is quite worthwhile and should be part of every home environment, along with fine cooking and music. I recommend this DVD for those who want to learn how to do sensual massage.
Customer Review: Massage made easy
The video is beautifully made, sensual and artistic throughout and in good taste. The instructional technique is very well thought out and you can learn at your own pace. Every part of the body is presented with great attention to details you will actually need to do a sensual massage. Common errors are discussed, so you don’t have to worry about getting it wrong. The net result is a massage techique that feels incredibly good.
