How Touch, Tantric and Taoist Practices Expand us

Heart-Centered Touch for Men

Intentions and Purpose of the Blog

Welcome to my blog—a space where we can explore men’s health, vitality, and connection together. My work with men is through bodywork, Taoist QiGong, and Tantric principles. As an acupuncturist, bodyworker, and teacher, I’ve spent years helping men live fuller, more embodied, and expressive lives. This blog is a way of sharing insights from my life’s work that includes workshops, classes retreats and individual sessions. Men crave meaningful conversations about issues that matter to us. Whether you’re curious about how your prostate contributes to pleasure or you want to learn more about Taoist practices contributing to male vitality, this is a place to grow, connect, and discover together.

Here’s what you can expect from this blog:

  • Insights into My Classes & Workshops: I’ll break down themes of upcoming workshops, what my classes and workshops entail and how they are structured, so you’ll know what to expect.
  • Articles on Relevant Topics: I’ll write about QiGong, Male Vitality, Touch and Tantra. There are many areas of the male experience I’ll to explore here. This blog can give you an archive to reflect on and refer to anytime.
  • Conversations About Men’s Health: I’ll address issues that many of us face but rarely discuss, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or life-experience. I aim to create a space for shared understanding and support.
  • Engagement in the Comments: I encourage you to join the conversation by sharing your thoughts and experiences in the comments. Together, we can learn from each other and grow.
  • Practice Demonstrations: I’ll post videos featuring techniques, practices, and discussions about current issues, giving you practical tools to explore on your own.

Most of the articles are written by me. The last article in this blog is an essay by a journalist who attended one of my weekend workshops at Frog Meadow Farm in Vermont in 2019. It’s his personal look at what you can expect from my workshops. Thanks for being here—I look forward to connecting with you!
