Overview

HELLO
I'M CARSTEN
THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY AD.
I'M A GAY MAY WHO WELCOMES ALL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LGBQ CLIENTS!
My wholistic bodywork session is a Mind, Body, Heart opening process. I incorporate toning and crystals to balance the chakras and clear blocked energy freeing life force and bringing mind, body and spirit into harmony.

We start with a standing process which allows me to work both sides of your body at once. As I clear areas of... tension and holding you will feel your body relax and re-align over your natural center. The standing massage fosters new muscle memory and increases balance and energy.

The standing process is followed by a full body massage both back and front focusing on any areas that need attention and incorporating techniques from many modalities including shiatsu, reflexology, Thai yoga massage, and more.

Sessions can also include Life Path Guidance focussing on your birth path and all aspects of you Saturn Cycle including health, money, career & relationships for a truly wholistic Mind, Body & Spirit experience.

You will leave the session centered in your heart, grounded in your body, clear and focused in your mind and feeling 5 to 10 years younger.

I'm here if you have any questions.
I look forward to meeting you!
CARSTEN

Testimonials

Gathered by Carsten from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Feb. 15, 2024 in San Francisco, CA (in-studio)

Just a wonderful experience! So much more than just a massage. The spiritual guidance and energy balancing left me feeling like the new man. (E.M.)

Nov. 08, 2023 in San Francisco, CA (in-studio)

Wow! Thank you Carsten for getting me back in my body! I have to say I got much more than I expected. The full body massage was one of the best I’ve ever received, and the energy work took it to a whole new level. It was truly a mind, body and Spirit experience with stress, anxiety and pain on all levels just melting away. Looking forward to doing it again next time I’m in town.

Thank you, carsten! I’m so glad I found you. I’m still feeling totally rejuvenated for days after the massage. You are a real healer with magic hands. I was not expecting the extra energy stuff with the crystals and I toning. It was really a holistic experience. Now I understand what that word “holistic“ really means. I’ll definitely be back for another session soon.

Your massage technique is so unique and healing. I was floating at the end of the session and feel more comfortable in my body. The pain and stiffness in my lower back and legs, shoulders and neck has disappeared. I also feel as though I’m breathing more deeply, and have felt more calm and relax since our session yet with more energy. You are a real healer! Thank you.

Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. I'm so glad that I foul you. That bodywork session was a very powerful experience for me. Thank you. I appreciate you!

“I just had my first massage session with Carsten. It was great. Very nice, safe environment for a true body/spiritual experience. He was very patient, told me everything he was going to do and even gave me home work to do daily. I will definitely be back. I am a triathlete, and I found this to be very helpful for my training.” (A.W. San Francisco)

“I had never heard of a yoga massage before, but it was amazing! I really liked the standing massage in the beginning. It centers you, and really puts you in your body. I felt like an active participant in the massage, yet it was still very relaxing. Plus, you still get to end with a lying-down portion. Also, I had never been a fan of yoga, but Carsten taught me some simple moves that take only a few minutes, yet yield great benefit. I would definitely go again.” (J.M. San Francisco)

“An amazing bodywork session and more. I felt rejuvenated the next few days, much more flexible and just overall good! Just chatting was great and helped me relieve lots of stress. Considering I spent lots of time in airports Wednesday and Thursday I still felt good, with great presence of mind and control. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to do it again. (J.D. San Francisco)
