Baby / Child Massage


Many ask me if it is ok to give their young children or baby a massage. Yes, please do it! Children love it. And you will love it too. Seeing them enjoy it and smile at you will make your day.

I remember when my nephews were young (they are 13 & 11 years old now), they will come to my house to have massage. They would fight to go 1st. I converted a room into a massage room with the right atmosphere, music and lighting.

Within 20mins or so, the 1st one will fall asleep. And I will quietly carry him to the bed and let him continue sleeping for the next 2hrs or so. 2nd nephew will then have his turn. It was a great time for me as I use my hands to communicate with them.

Massage is an art. Learn massage and you will learn to give too.

Sleep Apnea


Ever since operation of the spa, we have been talking to our customer. We realised that a number of people had Sleep Apnea.

What is Sleep Apnea?
sleep apnoea or sleep apnœa is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Source and for more information : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea

It is common during a massage that you will fall asleep as it is so relaxing. People who have sleep apnea will snore very loudly as their body try to take in more oxygen. And it is not easy to wake them up after the massage as they really sleep so soundly.

Ask your partner or family if you snore during sleep. Get it treated fast.

Use your heart, not your eyes

We are going to Anthony Robbins class tmr. Managed to find some time for a massage by my staff. We always do checks on them to ensure they are always performing at a high standard.

We will remind them about the details, from how to place the towels gently over the customers to making sure they are always improving their skills.

One key factor I will always tell them - Use your heart not your eyes when doing massage.

Have you ever been massaged by blind people? They really do great massage. They do not judge with their eyes, they feel how tense your muscles are.

Will be away for a week and will be back soon. ;-p
