The Body Connection offers a broad range of massage services which focuses on the everyday needs of the body including remedial massage & relaxation but also offers the opportunity for clients to explore deeper for more authentic connections to their own bodies & ultimately to others and to their lives in general.

 

Honesty, integrity and authentic connections are an essential part of my practice and they form the foundations of the space we work together in - an environment where men feel welcome and safe. Where men can be themselves without fear of judgement and where men can feel empowered, fearless and respected.

​

Let's lets work together & unashamedly celebrate our bodies.

About Alex

  • I have over 10 years industry experience working as a massage therapist & bodyworker. 

  • Recently qualified as a Certified Somatic Sexologist & Breath work facilitator. 

  • I have worked in some of the best clinics in Sydney & I work to the highest standards set by my massage association.

  • Health rebates can be claimed but only against remedial massage treatments.

Why work with me?

I am a highly qualified Remedial Massage therapist & I have studied a range of different massage & bodywork modalities throughout my career. I travel the world to find the best teachers & I will continue to develop & up-skill myself over my life time.  

​

When it comes to Somatic Sexology work...I know what it is like to feel disconnected to ones self. The work of a Sexological Bodyworker is to help our clients get out of their minds & learn to reconnect to & feel into their bodies (embodied). The problem is...we cannot feel the aliveness of our bodies if we are trapped in our minds. I know this because this has been me for most of my life & I think my greatest attribute to this work is a life lived constantly searching for answers.

I provide you with a safe space for you to feel & explore your body without judgement, shame or guilt. This work is self directed & there is no wrong or right way & I am there to guide you.  

 

This is consent based work & it needs to be a heartfelt YES where the head, heart & gut are all aligned before any touch begins. You are the one who is in charge & you lead the session.  

This work is one way touch only & is for your eduction & pleasure.  

​

This work is not outcome focussed. Mindfully enjoy the ebbs & flows of pleasure. This is not about the destination but rather feeling into what is happening for you.  

​

We start the session by setting an intention for the practice & then we practice & do the work. We then take time to integrate the session into our bodies & then we reflect on the learnings. 

​

Connecting to our aliveness is the source of our healing… 

 

We have to connect to ourselves before we can connect to others & before we can connect to life.

 

Our bodies are to be enjoyed & celebrated. When we can love ourselves everything else will come to us. So how do we connect. I believe we start with ourselves first & then everything else will fall into place. We have to love ourselves before others can.

​

I just need to be clear, I am not a psychologist & I am not trauma trained & I am not here to sort out your problems. You will need to see someone else for that.

 

Sexological Bodywork is a hands on touch modality to get you in touch with your body & your feelings & to help you have better sex. But I am a very good listener with a lot of compassion, so if you want to share your story with me in a safe & non-judgemental space, you will find a sympathetic ear & if you don’t, that is fine also. There is no requirement of that with this work.

 

These sessions are about you… your needs & your comfort. Not mine.

 

I am here to practice love and connection.

My Work & Practice

My Story

Our stories… 

are the main reason we are not connected to ourselves. All my life I have been trapped by my story. The little gay boy from the country, who never felt like he belonged or felt good enough. Mine is just a story, one of many. You may relate, you may not. It doesn’t matter. And I want to acknowledge that people have stories that are way worse than mine. But I think to grow, we need to try & let go of these stories. They are not who we are. This is not the person I am today. But I am grateful for everything that has happened to me & the people in my life, even if they don’t understand me. I am a stronger for it & a more balanced human being because of my struggles.

 

But this is mainly a story of connection.

Alex is by far the best massage therapist I have ever seen. I saw him consistently throughout my half marathon training a few months ago and it made ALL the difference to my performance and the way I felt. All of my little niggles would just melt away. 

Fast forward a few months…I went away overseas for 6 weeks but maintained my training for upcoming half marathon. I was wondering to myself why my body continually felt sore, then I realised I hadn’t been having my Alex massages!Needless to say I’ve just returned from vacay and immediately visited Alex…I feel normal again!!!

EXCELLENT in every way. Online booking is so easy, the building is beautiful and I feel 80% better after 1 treatment :). Booked a 45 min remedial with Alex and he was amazing. Really took his time to work on my problem. Usually time goes too fast, but felt like I was there forever.Thanks for the great experience

Excellent! Booked a 60 min with Alex. He is amazing! Firm pressure! That’s what I needed. Highly recommended!

Thank you to Alex for the massage and stretch today. A weight I forget that I carry is  gone. While I'm sure I talked too much, thanks Alex for putting up with me — and for those unexpected chuckles. I'm still grinning. :)
