The Art of Massage by Michael

Our experience with Michael was absolutely extraordinary. From the moment we stepped into his stunning Laguna Beach penthouse, we knew we were in for something special — but we had no idea just how profoundly healing and transformative the session would be.

Michael's intuitive touch and masterful blend of techniques — from Swedish and Thai to deep tissue and Lomilomi — created a truly one-of-a-kind massage that left us feeling completely renewed, both physically and emotionally. He doesn’t just “give a massage” — he curates an experience that feels deeply attuned to the body, mind, and spirit. Every movement felt purposeful, personalized, and flowing with intention.

Beyond his incredible skill, Michael radiates a calm, grounded, and genuinely caring presence. His warmth and professionalism instantly put us at ease, and it’s clear that he pours his heart into his work. You can feel it in every detail — the cozy heated table, the ambient music, the calming scent in the air, and his attentiveness to our comfort and needs throughout.

We left not only deeply relaxed but also feeling like we had shared space with someone truly special. Michael is more than a massage therapist — he’s a healer, an artist, and a remarkable human being. We can't wait for our next session and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a truly elevated and soulful massage experience.

Michael is genuinely exceptional! He came to our home in Pelican Hill fully prepared with everything — a heated massage table, fresh linens, and a thoughtfully curated music selection that enhanced the entire experience. Beyond the setup, his massage skills and energy work are on another level. He has an incredible ability to release tension and restore balance in a way that’s hard to put into words. If you're looking for a top-tier massage therapist, Michael is the one!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a wonderful couples massage with Michael. He arrived right on time and, as many have noted, brought an incredibly warm and personable vibe. Michael made sure to ask about our specific needs and tailored each of our massages to target those areas. Both the massage and his personality deserve an A+! We're already looking forward to our next session with him!

I had the most incredible massage experience at Michael's penthouse in Laguna Beach! From the moment I arrived, Michael's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The ambiance of his penthouse was serene and relaxing, setting the perfect tone for a rejuvenating massage.

Michael's technique is truly exceptional. He skillfully addressed all my tension points, and his intuitive touch left me feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. Throughout the session, he ensured I was comfortable and tailored the massage to meet my specific needs.

I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a top-notch massage experience in Laguna Beach. His expertise, combined with the tranquil setting of his penthouse, creates an unforgettable wellness experience. I can't wait to return for another session!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage from Michael while he was in Kansas City, and it was simply outstanding. Despite being based in Laguna Beach, Michael brings his top-tier skills and calming energy wherever he goes. He took the time to understand my specific needs, ensuring a deeply therapeutic and wonderfully relaxing massage.

Michael's impeccable technique combines firm pressure with soothing strokes that melt away my tension and stress. He created a serene and comfortable environment, making me feel at ease from the very beginning. It's clear that Michael is passionate about his work and genuinely cares about his client's well-being.

If you can book a session with Michael in Laguna Beach or while he’s traveling, don’t miss out. His massages are truly a rejuvenating experience that refreshes and revitalizes you. Highly recommended!

I make it a point to visit Laguna Beach each year to reconnect with family, but the annual reunions can be quite stressful. However, this time, I decided to treat myself to a massage appointment with Michael, which turned out to be a phenomenal experience. Michael's incredible talent and thoughtful and kind approach made the session even more enjoyable. Having had numerous massages in the past, I can confidently say that this was by far my best experience. I'm certain that anyone else who chooses to book a session with Michael will have an equally fantastic time. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit to Laguna Beach!

My spouse and I indulged in a delightful 90-minute couples massage with an oceanfront view. Our skilled massage therapist, Michael, exceeded our expectations, surpassing previous experiences at home or during vacations elsewhere. We'd gladly take Michael home with us! His expertise in relaxation and attention to our specific areas of tension left us thoroughly rejuvenated.

The setting perfectly matched the description — right by the ocean! The soothing sound of the waves added an extra layer of tranquility to the massage experience. I enthusiastically recommend Michael, and without a doubt, we'll be returning when we find ourselves back in Laguna Beach.

Received one of the best massages of my lifetime today from Michael. My experience began positively with my ability to communicate and schedule with him quick and easy. Next, when arriving to the studio, I was welcomed to a spotless studio which Michael went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable. His technique and perfect pressure has left my body the most it’s been relaxed that I can remember. I would highly recommend Michaels services as I am already working to book my next massage.

Absolutely the best massage treatment I've had. Michael's skill in reading your body and connecting to your mind is unbelievable. He is well educated in all faceted dynamics of our bodies, mind, and soul. His conversation was enlightening and helpful in your body physically releasing the knots away. Even without his fascinating insight, his physical massage technique alone is outstanding.

My massage with Michael was terrific. Michael took good care of me and was very thorough. I had a very tight shoulder and upper back, and he gave extra attention to those problem areas. He took his time and gave me the care I needed. I highly recommend Michael if you're looking for a massage for either relaxation or muscle tension relief. Thank you so much, Michael!

Michael is an experience I strongly recommend discovering!

He went above and beyond in helping me orchestrate a birthday surprise for my husband.

Michael did our couples massage at our Newport Beach home. My husband had a fantastic massage and hasn't stopped talking about how great it was. I had never felt so relieved and this good after a massage; simply remarkable.

Saw Michael for a much-needed deep tissue massage. Michael is phenomenal; he knew all the right spots to hit while allowing me to let go and melt away. Ensured to take his time in problem areas and even went overtime to ensure all desired areas were handled. I couldn't recommend him enough. Always look forward to my weekly massages with him.

I've been getting two massages a week from Michael for the last two years, and each time was a fantastic experience. I love the attention to detail and professionalism that Michael has always provided me.

Highly recommend him -- Skilled, I'm very picky about how I want my deep tissue massage done, and he delivered! I appreciated that Michael genuinely cared about what areas of my body needed the most work and what type of pressure I preferred. I think this is very important since it allows the necessary communication between you and your massage therapist.

Truly thankful to have Michael in my life.

On a scale of 1-10, Michael, my Massage Therapist for over 7 years, is a 12 in just about every category. He is highly skilled, sensitive to his client's needs, yet always appropriate. Beyond that, Michael is a great conversationalist who can make the most shy person feel comfortable, and yet he is very willing to simply give a great massage in silence. As someone who has needed, and received Massage for almost 30 years, both in this country and abroad, I've never met a better
therapist!
