Overview

Treat yourself to a massage by a strong, intuitive, and caring therapist based in Venice Beach! (Formerly named Gary but recently legally adopted a yoga-oriented name) I focus on warming muscles and connective tissue first before going as deep as the body will allow without injury. I make every effort to empty myself of ego and be fully present, down to earth, and understanding for my clients. I can customize the massage as needed. My in-home studio faces west and... gets plenty of fresh air before and after massages and is very clean and warm.

In order to provide you with my optimal energy level, massages after 3pm must be booked no later than 11am the same day although advanced notice of at least 24 hours highly encouraged. 🙏🙏🙏

🙏 Incalls preferred but willing to travel if you have your own table as I ride a motorcycle.

🙏 Proof of vaccination required. Received Johnson & Johnson vaccine on 3/17/2021, Moderna Booster 1/2022

🙏 Educated in Swedish and Sports massage at IPSB with a focus on the mind/body connection

🙏 Reiki master level III

🙏 More than 17 years of experience

🙏 Strong, yoga practitioner with 20 years of yoga experience

🙏🌈 All kind-hearted folks welcome.

Testimonials

Gathered by El from admiring massage clients to share with you.

April 03, 2022 in Venice, CA (in-studio)

El provides a quiet and relaxing environment to completely unwind and relax. I regularly exercise and workout so a soothing massage is an important aspect of my health and well being. His strong hands provide the perfect combination of pressure point and soothing relief. I’ve been a regular client for about two years and I always look forward to one of his sessions to decompress from a crazy and hectic world.

Gary is an amazing find; a naturally gifted massage therapist and healer that gives focused work that is unhurried, very intuitive, and embracing. He is a tall man who is approachable, generous, and obviously committed to my comfort and healing. I left feeling adjusted, healed, and a little spoiled – pretty damn good actually. Everything I’ve been looking for.

Gary is a very talent massage therapist and natural healer. He made me feel warm, safe and created an opportunity for me to heal some pain I was storing in my body for a long time. It’s amazing what the power of touch can do in just one session! I look forward to seeing him again soon.

I have had many massages but this was the best I've ever had. The pressure wasn't too light but wasn't painful.
