ew to my service: I'm now accepting Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards. I have also made a new website, to the right of my picture, "Visit his website" that further explains more about me, my massage and should answer all of your questions.

My massage is NON-sexual. I do my work in my home in a private massage space totally dedicated to massage. I have an incredible speaker system and play soothing and relaxing music. I also use an amazing $300/gallon massage oil that is heated prior to your arrival. If you want to pay with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover) just let me know ahead of time and I will process it for you. This is a massage for the connoisseur of massage, who loves deep tissue combined with the the soothing long flowing strokes of Esalen Massage.

For me massage is my life's work. I am totally hooked into its amazing ability to change so many people emotionally, physically, and mentally in such a short period of time. One of my instructors once told me that his whole life changed after receiving an hour Esalen massage! Yes, massage can be that dramatic. What is so amazing about this work is how massage transports people to places of deep healing within the deepest parts of themselves and allows them to step forward into a new place, unchartered territory. It happened to me. I'm living proof.

My work is based in Esalen massage and deep tissue massage. I love combining the long flowing strokes of Esalen massage with focused, slow, deep tissue work. This integrated approach to healing the body is profound.

I am also taking a two year class in Orthopedic Massage that will provide help for those in acute and chronic pain. I have completed the first year and will start my second year this September. This is amazing work - cutting edge work in massage therapy today. So I'm incorporating what I'm learning in this class into my everyday practice. To learn more about this modality please go to the following link: http:/www.hendricksonmethod.com/index.php

I hope that you will read through all that I'm offering here and if you decide to try a session with me please know that you will be in good hands and that I will try, to the best of my ability, to meet the massage needs you are presenting to me in the most caring, focused and compassionate way possible.

Peace and blessings,
Bud

With the holidays upon us, and the end of the year stresses at work, I was in desperate need of a massage. My experience with Bud was better than I could have imagined. He made me feel comfortable from the moment he opened the door. He was warm and welcoming and even offered a pre-massage hug which relaxed me even more.

He knows muscles and is expert at locating areas where stress is being retained and working out the kinks. His touch was never too firm or too soft and on a couple of occasions he solicited feedback to make sure that it was just right....

My work is very physical and demands a lot of my time. Very often I would come home physically exhausted and sore all over. Because of this I became a massage buff. I've been all over the Bay area looking for that perfect massage and lo' and behold, found one next door. Mr. Brett is gifted with intuitive nurturing hands. He knows exactly where to put the right pressure at the right time. Made the massage session flowing with your soreness and stress floating away. His demeanor melts away all your doubts. His place is very safe and welcoming....

I just got back from a massage from Bud. He is very friendly and very welcoming from the moment he answers the door. He was very professional and answers any questions. I felt so comfortable with Bud. It was an awesome awesome experience. He totally knows what he is doing.

Date: March 24, 2007  Overall rating:

He is one of the best massage therapists I have ever experienced. He is a skilled professional and more importantly friendly and intuitive. I can attest that he is a handsome, very good looking man but non-judgmental with a touch that you will remember for days afterward. Every time I see him, he leaves me weak and breathless in a VERY GOOD way. I can't wait to see him again.

After talking with Bud I was put at ease and made a same day appointment. The experience was fantastic. The location was clean, warm and relaxing and I can't say enough about the massage. He adjusted his technique to address all the areas of my body and my needs and I left feeling totally relaxed. This was my first time with Bud and it won't be my last.

Date: April 9, 2005  Overall rating:

I've had many & varied massages (Thai, Swedish, Esalen, Shiatsu), and Bud is definitely among the best masseurs I've encountered. He's easy going and very "present", attentive to my requests, tuned in and caring. His touch is appropriately heavy or light and his range of techniques wonderfully inclusive.

Have now returned for more massage and the caring and nurturing handy-work of Bud. Recommend to all.

Date: December 7, 2004  Overall rating:

I have been to Bud for 3 massages to date. His welcome is always warm and inviting. His massage room is comfortable, relaxing and safe. His massages always leaves me completely and utterly relaxed, and during them it is seemingly impossible to stay mentally and physically present and focused - my mind and body simply drift off into that never-never-land of bliss, serenity and dreams....

I am in my 60s and recently found I am interested in M4M massage. In searching the web I found this site and through it found Bud in Castro Valley. I contacted Bud and after a couple of e-mails I made an appointment. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Bud. He immediately made me feel welcome in his home where his business is located. His home is spotless, which impressed me. He showed me to the massage room and he explained his techniques and asked what services I desired. I explained it was my first M4M massage and wanted it to be a complete experience....

I was early and Bud was ready. He easily engages you in conversation and puts you at ease in minutes. He explains the massage and lets you get comfortable. In no time I was putty. I was relaxed and didn't have a care in the world. Bud knows his stuff and seeks to even get better. He is intuitive about the client and his comfortable and clean environment makes this massage a true personal treat.
