In Mind-Body-Spirit, the spirit in the body is the blood, heat, consciousness, or QI. Some call it Prana. The fact is, if you’re alive, you literally generate heat FROM WITHIN.

It could be a West Michigan thing because of sex trafficking, sex services offered at the day spas or just the underbelly religious patriarchal culture of Grand Rapids. But in one month alone I’ve had two white male clients, fully apprised of my website ask me out on a date, comment on my looks, and literally suggest I could charge more and take him upstairs.
