From my own experience it is more beneficial and more enjoyable to get a massage form someone that is well rounded in their massage education with western and eastern modalities. I do keep my mind open to new massage experiences. I have always strived to be informed and advance my technique. Getting massage from someone new is a great way to enrich the massage I give. Sometimes I get something completely new and sometimes I rediscover something I used to use. No matter how much I learn, I find there is always more that I can learn. All in all, massage has been some of the best healing I have ever received or given.

 If you live close enough to Tempe, Arizona, then I recommend THIS GUY! If you aren't fortunate enough to be anywhere near Tempe, you need to do some research, the internet affords many qualified massage therapists, most of the best work independently form corporate chains.
