Monkey on the Back transformational bodywork

Transformational Bodywork • Breath • Sound • Integration

Bodywork for the
Body, Mind & Spirit

Release tension, reconnect with your body, and explore what becomes possible when physical touch, embodied inquiry, mantra, breath, and spiritual perspective meet.

Curious but uncertain? A discovery call is simply a conversation. There is no pressure to book.

Monkey on the Back™

Your body may be carrying more than muscle tension.

Sometimes the body carries stress, protective patterns, old emotions, responsibilities, and stories that words alone have not been able to reach.

This is not a standardized massage sequence. Each session is a personalized exploration that may weave together deep structural bodywork, breath, sound, mantra, meditation, reflective inquiry, and spacious integration.

Helping you release the monkey on your back.

A Whole-Person Experience

More than a massage

Body

Deep, attentive bodywork designed to support softening, mobility, embodied awareness, and relief from accumulated tension.

Breath & Energy

Breath, sound, toning, and subtle energy awareness may support the nervous system in finding greater flow and spaciousness.

Mind & Spirit

Mantra, devotional music, inquiry, and spiritual perspective invite you to experience yourself as more than your tension or story.

What Makes This Different

Touch and transformation in conversation

Some forms of bodywork focus primarily on the muscles. Some therapeutic approaches focus on the story. Some spiritual practices focus on consciousness.

This work creates a conversation between all three.

As tension emerges, I may offer a question, a mantra, a breath practice, a song, or a new perspective. Nothing is imposed as the absolute meaning of your body. We remain curious about what genuinely resonates for you.

The bodywork opens an embodied doorway. Breath, sound, inquiry, and spiritual perspective help you listen to what may be waiting on the other side.

Sound as Part of the Practice

Mantra, music, and mental repatterning

Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidam

“That is whole. This is whole.” A reminder that beneath everything you are experiencing, nothing essential is missing.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vāsudevāya

In my lineage: “I bow to the infinity that lives within me, and within which I live.”

All That I Am

An invitation to offer every part of yourself at the altar of love, including the parts you celebrate and the parts you have struggled to accept.

The Long Time Sun

A closing blessing that supports grounding, tenderness, integration, and your return to the world.

Client Experiences

What people are saying

★★★★★
“The bodywork I received from Naughty Monkey was a unique and deeply transformative experience. I’ve never had the combination of deep structural work with simultaneous personalized spiritual spoken, chanted, and sung address directly to the pain I was experiencing in my body on a heart, mind, and spirit level.

It was highly pleasurable in the midst of my pain and planted unexpected magical seeds for even deeper exploration. I’m so grateful and highly recommend it.”

Massage therapist with more than two decades of experience

★★★★★
“Monkey was grounded, supportive, unrushed, absolutely accepting, and continually checked in with me about what I was experiencing and needing.

The session helped me realize how much tension I had been holding, both physically and energetically. I don’t think I would have been able to access it on my own or with a regular massage therapist.

He helped move the energy through breath and toning and was intentional about ensuring I had the aftercare and grounding I needed after the session. I hope to do more sessions with him.”

Every Session Includes

A guided Tantric integration practice

The session can open a door. Your own practice helps you walk through it.

Every bodywork session includes access to guided daily practices so the experience can continue blossoming through your own agency.

11

Minutes

A simple daily reset to reconnect with your body, breath, intention, and presence.

66

Minutes

A complete practice weaving movement, breath, meditation, mantra, energy, and integration.

The goal is not for you to need me forever.

The goal is to help you discover practices that allow you to return to yourself, listen to your body, and participate in your own continued evolution.

Safety, Consent & Choice

You remain in charge of your experience.

We begin by discussing your intentions, boundaries, physical considerations, and what kinds of touch feel appropriate.

I check in throughout the session, and you may slow down, redirect, pause, or stop any practice at any time.

No modality or area of the body is assumed. Any sensitive or intimate work must be discussed clearly in advance and requires ongoing, explicit consent. It is always optional.

Your “no,” “not yet,” “slower,” and “I changed my mind” are welcome.

A Radically Open Sliding Scale

$0 to Infinity ∞

Your evolution is priceless.

Money is simply one way we practice generosity, gratitude, and reciprocity.

01

A win for you

An exchange that respects your present circumstances and supports you in receiving the work.

02

A win for me

An exchange that honors my time, energy, livelihood, and ability to continue offering this work.

03

A win for the world through you

The impact you can create as you step more fully into your own power, purpose, presence, and capacity to serve.

Before your session, we will have a transparent conversation and find a contribution that genuinely feels aligned.

The purpose of the conversation is not to pressure you or maximize the price. It is to create an exchange where both of us feel respected, grateful, and energized.
