  I frequently treat myself to massages. So,oOut of curiosity I looked at his website.

  It's a bit curious that on TN he is offering massage. His website states he has never taken a course in massage, has no license in performing massage, and doesn't perform massage.

  Would you go to a dentist that has never taken a course of study in dentistry, never obtained a degree in dentistry, and has no license to perform dentistry?

  I looked, too. And yes, it's odd., Fact is, Iowa law prohibits nude massage. The disclaimer is a libertarian attempt to dodge that law. Whether heoverstateshis lack of qualification in order to protect himself is an interesting question we can only guess at. As a licensed massage therapist in Hawaii, I'm really sensitive to this one. Hawaii permits - in that it does not explicitly prohibit - nude massage, as do some other states. Here's a list I haven't verified, the first one that comes up on Google, from a Quora thread: "The following are states that allow draping optional massage . Colorado , Connecticut , Florida , Hawaii , Illinois , Iowa , Maryland , Massachusetts , Michigan , Minnesota , Montana , New Hampshire , Rhode Island , South Dakota , Texas ." What brings you within the scope of these laws is saying you are a massage therapist, and charging for your services. He charges, so he can't say he's a massage therapist. Of course, even if you don't say you're a massage therapist, and charge, you can edge into legal jeopardy at the intersection of massage and prostitution laws if things turn sexual - something else he (more or less) says isn't going to happen. At least he says he's not "offering" it.

  [quote]My overall impression of his website: he's grounded, respectful, eager to meet people's defined needs and highly skilled through intuition and experience. [/quote] Same here. My comments were not so much about him and his work - about which I know very little - than about the legal and technical hoops his website is attempting to jump through - about which I know a lot. It's worth noting from a nudist standpoint that in most states, and not just the more conservative ones, it's actually illegal to give a professional massage to an undraped client, even with the agreement of the therapist and client. That's a piece of nonsense nudist organizations might consider addressing.
