(More customer reviews)This book will inform and engage those who are interested in becoming massage professionals, expanding their professional practice, or simply exploring massage to enrich their lives.
It's one of the prettiest books I've ever seen, a absolute feast for the eyes, as befits a book on an activity that offers sensuous, spiritual bliss! The scrumptious color, pleasing design, and wonderful photos help anchor the clearly stated intructions and background information. It feels as spacious and generous as the gift of touch.
It evokes an immediate sense of relaxation. And like a good perfume, it builds an interesting blend of contrasts. Opulence and grounded simplicity, spice and serenity, all in one world tour of massage techniques and the philosophies that inluence them.
Author Victoria Jordan Stone is an acknowleged leader in the field, as an author, teacher and administrator/co-owner of the prestigious Blue Ridge School of Massage. Her years of experience funnel into the book a wealth of wisdom, practical information, and authoritaive gravitas. Her love of the art and science of massage embues it with soulful beauty. Her continued work as a hand-on practitioner provides it with freshness and authenticity.
I love this book and heartily recommend it for professionals and non-professionals alike, as a gift, a reference, a pleasure map, to dress up the coffee table, and invite lively conversation.
