As a talented practitioner of therapeutic massage, Garth brings a combination of eastern and western bodywork philosophies to the table, literally. Based on his studies of massage in Asia and especially in Thailand, Garth skillfully blends an appreciation of bio-energetic wellness principles with conventional western massage techniques which tend to focus more on the empirical physiology behind bodywork. The result is a unique hybrid of strength, skill and sensitivity that inspires many of his clients to remark that Garth offers the best massage sessions they have ever experienced. For his part, in the wake of such generous praise, Garth is just pleased to be able to have such a positive effect as he works towards mastery of his ahhh-inspiring handiwork.
