FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ve got questions. I’ve got the answers.

What can I expect during a session and what is expected of me?

A typical Tantric Massage session starts with you completing an online intake form.  Then we schedule a call to make sure we both have all the information we need to feel safe and comfortable with each other before meeting in person.  The actual session will begin with a Tantric Tea ceremony where we will get clear with our communication, boundaries, fears, intentions and desires.  Tantric massage is all about slowing down and being in our pleasure, so I will be utilizing a soft tantalizing touch with a range of both speed and pressure to help you be truly in your body.  I will be using a variety of tantric touch techniques blended into a sensual rhythm that will incorporate principles of the 5 tantric elements (earth, fire, water, ether, and spirit) along with a medley of massage techniques I have learned over the years that may include; Thai, Swedish, Chinese TuiNa and Japanese Nuru. The entire session is designed to help you move stuck or stagnant energies and excite your Kundalini Energy and move you to an ultimate state of orgasmic bliss!

You must be at least 21 or older to book a session with me. Other than that, nothing is expected of you.  Please just relax, shut down your mind, and open yourself up to a liberating, transformative experience. The session is 100% about you and your pleasure!

Who is this therapy for? What are the benefits?

Many body-positive women find themselves intrigued by Tantric Massage for a range of reasons. This could include the longing for human connection after investing considerable effort into their professional lives or families.

Alternatively, some individuals might be in a partnership where their touch requirements aren’t being fulfilled. They may have experienced a recent breakup, yearning for intimate touch but not feeling prepared to enter the dating scene. The pandemic could have also resulted in a lack of physical touch for certain individuals.

In addition to satisfying the natural longing for touch, Tantric Massage can provide several other benefits. For instance, it can increase libido and reawaken dormant intimate feelings, allowing individuals to discover their body’s full potential for pleasure. It can also help release built-up tension through more intense and frequent waves of pleasure, which can help people better understand their body’s hot buttons and learn to communicate them to their partner. 

Furthermore, it can help those who have had negative intimate experiences regain their confidence or overcome negative associations with touch.

Tantric Massage can also be an exciting adventure for those seeking to “get their kink on” without judgment, and it can provide a quick, uncomplicated release for those experiencing a dry spell. It can also serve as a safe and blissful escape after a long and stressful day, allowing individuals to indulge in “me-time.” For menopausal women, Tantric Massage may help ease pelvic atrophy as well.

Where are you located?

I’m located just north of Little Italy and just off the 5 near Old Town in a discreet and private building that is in a mixed use neighborhood.  The blend of residential and commercial makes it the perfect discreet location.  This is not a commercial spa.

How long are sessions?

This is a Tantric Massage Session and since Tantra is all about slowing down, you can expect to be with me for about 3-hrs.  Think of this as a mini spa day but with a more sensual and erotic flare to it.  I like to take my time and ease into each session with some tea, some light hearted conversation and then a ritual to set intentions, go over some communication agreements and discuss boundaries, fears, and desires and then we create a container for exploration before we begin. I’m in no rush, and nor should you be.

What happens after a session?

After a session of tantric bodywork, it is important to take some time to rest and integrate the experience. The exact post-session routine can vary depending on the individual and the length or intensity of the session, but here are some general guidelines:

  1. Take some time to relax: After the session, it’s important to give your body time to relax and come back to a grounded state. You may want to spend some time lying down, taking a warm bath or shower, or engaging in other calming activities.
  2. Drink plenty of water: Massage can release toxins from the body, so it’s important to drink plenty of water after the session to help flush them out.
  3. Reflect on the experience: Take some time to reflect on your experience and how it made you feel. You may want to journal about any insights or emotions that came up during the session.
  4. Follow any specific post-session instructions: Depending on how your session goes, I may provide specific instructions for aftercare, such as avoiding certain activities or taking some me time, or even some social time, whatever feels right and best for you.
  5. Schedule your next session: If you enjoyed the experience and want to continue exploring tantric bodywork, you may want to schedule your next session with me right away.

It’s also important to note that after a session of tantric bodywork, it’s normal to feel a range of emotions, including relaxation, heightened awareness, and even vulnerability. It’s important to honor whatever feelings come up and take care of yourself accordingly. If you have any concerns or questions after the session, don’t hesitate to reach out to me for support.

Is this private and confidential?

Absolutely! Maintaining your privacy is of utmost importance, and I am dedicated to ensuring the highest levels of confidentiality, discretion, and trust. Similar to the famous saying about Las Vegas, my policy is that whatever happens between us stays between us. Any communication we have, whether online or in person, is always kept in the strictest confidence.

How can I ensure that this is a safe experience?

Ensuring safety is a top priority for both you and me. To that end, I require that you complete a brief intake form and that we have a brief phone conversation before confirming any appointments.

Additionally, if you feel comfortable, you are welcome to inform a friend of your whereabouts and provide them with my phone number and address. You are also free to contact someone via text or phone to confirm your whereabouts at the start and end of our session.

Your testimonials are impressive. However, can you ensure that my experience will be equally satisfying?

It’s important to note that every woman’s body is unique and responds differently to touch. Although most guests leave feeling extremely pleased, I cannot guarantee an explosive climax every time. However, what I can promise is a pleasurable and unforgettable experience that you will remember for a long time. Although, maybe it’s best not to tell your grandchildren about it! 😉

How much do you charge?

I do charge a moderate fee, and since this is a 3-hour experience my rate is higher than a typical massage, but less than you’d expect to pay for a weekend spa retreat. A financial energy exchange ensures that you receive a professional service and creates an energetic boundary.  I don’t list my pricing publicly but will tell you my exact rate during our first intake call and before you book a session. Many of my clients are professionals and busy working class women with a bit of discretionary income and don’t mind treating themselves once in a while.

What should I wear, and what do you wear during a session?

You may wear whatever helps you feel sexy, comfortable and free. Many of my clients have shown up in some pretty amazing Goddess outfits and actually requested photos be taken! Unlike a typical therapeutic massage where you lay down under a sheet, Tantric Massage starts face up and fully nude.  There will be a disrobing ritual to help you feel confident and safe in your body before we start.  I wear a ceremonial tunic and will often remove my shirt, but my shorts will always stay on.

Do sessions go beyond the use of hands?

The short answer is no.  However, as a Tantric Massage goes, I may use my legs, feet and body to help stimulate you and move energy.  I do not use toys or gadgets as this would defeat the purpose of helping you to be in your body.  You may touch me if you desire, so long as you do not kiss me on the mouth or touch my genitals.

What if I’m hesitant or uncomfortable communicating my preferences during the session?

Although it is my responsibility to explore and understand your body during our time together, you will enjoy the most gratifying experience by informing me of what feels good for you. Verbal communication is not always necessary though, as I am skilled at interpreting body language. Even subtle signals like a gentle movement or a sigh can effectively communicate your approval of specific areas or types of touch that you would like to focus on without uttering a word.  In fact, I will teach you some non-verbal and verbal communication techniques before our session that you will find useful in the rest of your life as well!

Who are you? What do you look like?

I may not fit the stereotypical image of a hunky, tattooed, muscle-bound man from a GQ magazine, but my skills and passion for the art of touch are exceptional. I am an average-sized, athletic, and clean-cut man with a youthful appearance. My warm and welcoming personality, along with my calming and non-judgmental demeanor, will help you feel at ease from the moment we meet. As your guide and facilitator, I feel privileged to offer this service and have a deep admiration and respect for any woman who chooses to take ownership of her body and soul in this way.

Shiva J, what does your name mean?

The word “Shiva” has several meanings in the Sanskrit language, which is the ancient language of Hinduism. One of the most commonly accepted meanings is “auspicious one” or “the gracious one.”  Another meaning of the word “Shiva” is “that which is not,” which refers to the ultimate reality or consciousness beyond the material world. In this sense, Shiva represents the absolute truth and the ultimate source of all existence. The word “Shiva” can also be interpreted as “the one who purifies,” reflecting Shiva’s role as a destroyer of ignorance and impurities. In Hindu mythology, Shiva is often depicted as consuming poisonous substances to purify the universe and protect his followers from harm. Overall, the various meanings of the word “Shiva” reflect the multifaceted nature of this deity and his central role in Hinduism as a symbol of both destruction and regeneration, purity and impurity, and ultimate reality and spiritual enlightenment.  To me though, Shiva represents the divine masculine and he is in service to the divine feminine, a role to which I hold in highest regard.

Can you accommodate clients last minute?

If I happen to be available, yes. But I am often booked up to two weeks in advance so please consider this when booking.

For how long have you been offering this service, and how many clients have you served?

Although I do not maintain an exact count, I have been providing bodywork for more than a decade, and have had the pleasure of serving a consistent flow of both new and returning clients during this period.

What type of training do you have?

I have over 25yrs experience in the field of mind, body connection.  Having earned my degree in health science I worked as a personal trainer and professional coach for many years when I discovered my true love of body work.  Combining my love of the human body with what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening I believe I have found my true calling as a Tantra teacher.  I am constantly attending workshops and seminars to enhance my skill set and am committed to a life of educational pursuits, personal growth and spiritual advancement.

Do you do this full-time?

I am a full time Tantra teacher and Bodyworker.  I specialize in Somatic Therapy, which does not usually involve nudity or genital touching.  I love my work of helping people recover from Trauma as well as helping my clients with intimacy, communication and relationship issues. If you have questions about my other work, feel free to fill out the intake form and we can get on a call and see if we’d be a good fit to work with each other.

Can I arrange a session for a friend as part of her bachelorette or birthday party festivities?

Yes. However, each person will need to fill out an intake form and schedule a discovery call with me before they come for the session.  Surprises are great for most people, but something as intimate as this maybe not so much so. 😉

I’m visiting San Diego on business / pleasure. Will you come to my hotel?

Not likely. I prefer to provide service at my location where I have created an atmosphere that is conducive to your session which will include exciting all of your senses including sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.  Typically we can’t do that in a hotel room.

I’m a man. Can I watch my wife’s or girlfriend’s therapy session?

I’m sorry, but the service I offer is exclusively for women, and I don’t allow any male observers, including boyfriends or husbands. I want to ensure that my clients feel safe and comfortable during their sessions, and having a male observer can disrupt that dynamic. If your partner is interested in experiencing the session, I encourage her to reach out to me directly.  However, I do also offer couples tantra counseling and if you are a couple looking to enhance your intimacy and connection please do reach out to me for that service as well.

I’m a man. What’s the best advice you can give me if I want to do something like this?

Trim your nails. Wash your hands. Do your inner work so that you become a safe man capable of holding space for the divine feminine and being in complete service and devotion to her without needing anything in return.

Do you offer a 4-handed massage?

On occasion yes, although for the type of work I do which is mostly on a special floor mat, so it makes for a challenge.  But if it’s something you’d like to try, let me know, and I can enlist a female bodywork assistant to double your pleasure.

How can I leave a review?

Reviews and testimonials are crucial for other women who are considering a session, as they offer a female perspective and help provide insight into what this experience is all about.

If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts, simply scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the provided link. You can remain completely anonymous if you prefer.

How do I request an appointment?

Review the information on the Request an Appointment page and please fill out the intake form. 

Availabilities are limited so please allow for up to 1 week for a reply.

I requested an appointment. How long until I hear back from you?

It depends. Sometimes within minutes or hours. Other times it may take a few days, or even a week or so.

  • It’s also possible you may not receive a reply at all.

Note: I have a limited number of openings. And due to the high volume of inquiries I receive, I am regrettably unable to respond to or accommodate every appointment request. Especially requests without a complete intake form. Thank you for your understanding.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please be considerate of my time and kindly notify me at least 24 hours in advance. Once we book, you will have my number.

Appointments are officially confirmed once we speak by phone, (usually a few days prior to your session). If, after our confirmation call, it appears you’ll be unable to honor your appointment, let me know immediately.

With advance notice, I will reschedule you as soon as possible.

Cancel last minute, and you may get wait-listed for several weeks — or longer.

Whatever you do, don’t be “That Girl.” She’s the one who doesn’t show up at all. (You know who you are. And the karma gods know too).

I’m not quite ready for this, but would like to learn more about my body. Any websites you can recommend?

Although you may not be ready for a session at the moment, there are plenty of resources available to help you learn more about your body and sexual wellness. I’ve compiled a list of websites and resources that focus on female sexuality and wellbeing, which you can access here. These resources may be a great starting point for your journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Ok! I’ve read enough! I’m ready for this amazing and energizing experience. How do I get started?
