Bath & Bodhi Works

Welcome, if you’re reading this, thank you.

I’ve started this blog with the purpose of sharing my experiences, research, and commentary regarding Massage, Spa, Health & Wellness. This blog is for the aficionados’ like me. If you love bathhouse culture; receiving massage/bodywork, acupuncture, or body treatments here is your blog.

In varying degrees, all people partake in some sort of hygiene practice; and you also sleep. One would hope, that most people value their own health and wellness. So even if you’re new to this lifestyle, this blog is for you too.

A bit about your blog author - I am SNO, an entrepreneurial-licensed massage therapist from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I love my work - providing service in the form of highly skilled bodywork. I am certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Thai Massage, and other techniques. Bodhi Work is the name of my practice.

Bodhi isn’t just a pun for Body, it has a deeper meaning. Bodhi: (Sanskrit and Pāli: “awakening,” “enlightenment”), in Buddhism, the final Enlightenment, which puts an end to the cycle of transmigration and leads to Nirvāṇa, or spiritual release (Britannica). Viewing bodywork/massage like this makes sense to me. When we manipulate muscle tissue or manually move lymphatic fluid, there is also spiritual or emotional process being manipulated to help the person receiving the work. It is not uncommon for a client to experience an emotional release when physical tissues are released; why not consider the thought that a spiritual release could be occurring too?

This blog, I hope, directs you to an enjoyable bathhouse, spa, or treatment experience.
