Hi Darren
That is one is easy for me to answer. I had the most incrediable massage EVER in Vegas last year at Hara(?) it was a Spa off the strip .Not sure of the name right now. The therapist name was Jennifer,this I do remember. But most importantly it was a 90 minute ASHIATSU Oriental Bar Therapy. I was blown out of the water in my experience with it. I would love to be able to wow people like that...

How would anyone know what the best massage they have ever given was? It is in the perception of the receiver....Every massage I give is the best one at that moment and the best one ever.

The best massage experiences that I was privileged to deliver were at Craig Hospital on the spinal cord injured patients. Most of these folks, usually young adults, had been in the hospital for up to a month by the time I saw them. They had been subjected to poking, prodding, and often several surgeries and many only had feeling in their bodies from the neck up. What a gift it was to be able to give them a relaxing, face and scalp massage and to remind their mind and body of the healing benefits of touch.

I have two. The first time I massaged my newborn children. There will never be a massage given with more love.
