I've added some new products! has a great line of products that fight pain and a lovely anti-itch balm, too! I have a sample tube in the treatment room so you can experience it before you buy, and there are sample-sized tubes available, as well. Check it out!

P.S. Someone you care about wants a massage. Reach into your heart and give them the gift of wellness. Buy online, and pick up a physical gift card at the shop! https://pocketsuite.io/book/darren-chittick/items/buy-a-gift-certificate! Pro tip: When you purchase it, do so under your name. After you’ve given the physical gift card, click on your confirmation link, and transfer it to them so they can book when they are ready.

Massage is great, right? And, it makes a great gift for the right people. If you know someone who has repeatedly told you they don't like massage, don't get them a gift certificate to convince them otherwise. You're wasting your money and communicating to them that you think you know better than they do what they want. Give them something for self care, instead. They'll love you for it.

For the rest of the people on your list, though, buy all the massage gift certificates! You can buy them online then pick up a physical gift card from me to put in their stocking or tape to a wrapped gift! I have some lovely pain relieving cream that you could gift them along with the gift certificate!

Chain spa massage isn’t more expensive because the therapists are better or more skilled. Spas simply have more overhead, big non-massage therapist staffs to pay, corporate licensing costs, and all the marketing. You aren't paying for better massage; you're paying for the intangibles of an experience, the psychological aspects of a "spa day." And, you're going to be pressured to buy all the products they offer to extend that spa day.

Chain and franchised spas also often offer horrible working conditions and low pay, and they don’t draw the best therapists because of this. In fact, what I hear over and over is that the great therapists don't last, because they leave to work for themselves to get out of the environment.

If you don't believe me, go check out the Reddit subs for massage and massage therapists, and see what people there have to say who are stuck in these jobs or have escaped.

My point is this: When you book with a self-employed massage therapist, you're likely to get a better massage from someone who has stepped away from unequitable employment or has avoided it altogether. They've taken a risk to have and offer something better.

Will you be greeted with fruit water by someone at a front desk? Probably not. But, you're doing more good for yourself and those who are serving you by moving dollars away from exploitative corporations and franchises and into the hands of your neighbors.

Gender Affirming Care: Massage for Top Surgery

I'm just back from a trip to NYC for a continuing education workshop focusing on massage for after top surgery.

The work is aimed at helping:

* Reduce size and redness of scar
* Increase skin mobility by realigning scar tissue and breaking down adhesions which will in turn increase your range of motion at the shoulders and in the chest
* Decrease pain from scar pulling on surrounding tissue
* Stimulates nerves in the area, eventually increasing sensation
* Encourage flow of lymph which will reduce swelling and pain related to swelling
* Increase lymphatic circulation which is a primary mechanism in tissue healing

I am now offering this work myself, and I would love to see folks who are anywhere from 4 weeks to years post top surgery! You can book at https://pocketsuite.io/book/darren-chittick, and put in the notes that you are wanting this particular work! The person who served as the demo in the workshop was moved to tears as they found a fuller range of shoulder movement without pain or pulling two full years after having had surgery. This is truly powerful work!

There are also some great, free self-massage resources for folks to use. They are great techniques for soon after surgery, but they are also useful even years after. You can see all the guides at https://queerbodycollective.notion.site/Self-Massage-Guides-9882a0f6d79844d888eb82180305f0e8

I'm also glad to work with folks ahead of surgery to help them and/or a care partner learn to apply some of these techniques as part of the recovery process at home immediately after surgery. They're easy and simple ways to use touch to support and speed the healing process!

If you have any questions, please be in touch!

I had a massage last week, and my sinuses got clogged when I was face down. Nothing new. But, face up, it didn't resolve. I spent the rest of the session wishing I had a lozenge. I immediately got online and ordered a full flight!

If you come in for a massage with me, grab one before, ask for one during, and/or snag one after. As furnaces start running and the air gets increasingly dry, it's good to offer yourself a mentholated bit of tastyness!
