Patrick Stockstill, CMT

At Bhakti Massage, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and healing environment for individuals to cultivate greater awareness of themselves through touch. Our team of experienced practitioners, led by Patrick Stockstill, Esalen Massage Teacher and Practitioner, offers a range of services designed to promote relaxation, relief, and overall well-being.

Esalen Massage

Our core service, Esalen Massage, is a presence-based bodywork practice that combines long, flowing strokes, slow rhythmic movements, and whole-body focus to release tensions and promote deep relaxation. This modality is renowned for its ability to connect the body, mind, and spirit, leaving individuals feeling whole, relaxed, and rejuvenated.

Bhakti Massage

Inspired by the bhakti yoga tradition, Bhakti Massage is a devotional practice that uses touch as a medium to connect with others. Rather than a set of techniques or moves, our approach is centered around presence-based touch and the intention to heal and nurture the individual.
