I have had the experience of many massage therapists over my membership span at EQ (dating from April 1, 2003). Most of these artisans were memorable in terms of technique, touch and how deep their individual skills put me into an altered state.
But first a little segue. Dionysius son of Zeus from Greek mythology was the god of wine, ecstasy and intoxication. This symbolizes what massage means to me perfectly. Through therapeutic touch one becomes intoxicated and enters into a world of feeling and experiences outside the everyday. We in a sense become connected in an “oneness” with the universe.
To the Apollonian individual (Apollo the other son of Zeus) massage therapy is simply logical and necessary to rejuvenate tired and aching muscles to make them new again. Both philosophies are quite true because massage realigns the damage we do especially we who strive for fitness everyday. For my part leaning ever to the ethereal side of life massage is severely lacking in my regimen. Maybe just maybe in the massage therapist Jessica Capobianco-Stanziale I find the time and dedication to make this woman my individual instructor in order that I can keep on keeping on in the intense group exercise I so love.
Jessica recommended to me by Kristen Finello (K2) was extolling her virtues heaven on high. I was a skeptic at first because although most massage therapists are excellent no one has “intoxicated” this damaged physiology enough to make me want a return visit. Jessica changed all that for she is a Dionysian Artist. Her hands are adroit and powerful. She intuitively knows where the problem areas are and reaches in with a deep tissue massage that is truly magnificent. In a way Jessica is a musician and her instrument is the human form.
