MARIANNE SCHMIDT From SOUL TREATS

“A really good massage is not me giving while my partner receives but when we melt together into a masterpiece of art and hormonal bliss, when the boundaries of where I begin and my partner ends become fluid; each stroke is like the stroke of a brush; movement like a dance to music only we can hear; we become the installation in the art studio.

As a professional massage therapist of over 12 years now, and a nonprofessional for years before that, each massage session I offer is a work of art.” -Mary Marianne
