Overview

Sacred Bodywork for Men · Hydrotherapy, Watsu, Massage & Sound Healing
Los Angeles – Carthay Circle (near Beverly Hills/West Hollywood)

Release tension. Reconnect to self. Recalibrate body, mind, and spirit.

With over 20 years of experience, I offer a private sanctuary for men to experience deep restoration. As a certified Reiki practitioner and yoga instructor, I blend therapeutic touch, Watsu-inspired hydrotherapy, and sound healing into a nourishing journey—ideal for athletes, creatives, healers, and anyone seeking a reset.

Each 90- or 120-minute... session begins outdoors in a private filtered soft saltwater spa—gentle on the skin and safe for sensitive bodies. Float effortlessly in Watsu-inspired stretches and holds—offering a hypnotic, nurturing embrace that invites deep relaxation and fascia release. Incense or sage is used to clear energy and deepen calm.

A soft chime signals the transition to the massage table, where I offer Deep Swedish bodywork, Assisted Stretching, and Reflexology—attuning to glutes, hips, feet, and fascia-rich zones.

Sessions close with a Reiki-infused sound bath using Tibetan bowls, chakra-colored crystal bowls, Koshi chimes, and tuning forks—restoring balance and stillness.

“It’s a three-in-one experience—Watsu, massage, and sound healing—that left me deeply relaxed and clear. Truly transformational.” – Client Review

I honestly don’t know where to begin — this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. From the moment he opened the door, his warm welcome and hospitality made me feel completely at ease. The space was beautiful, and the atmosphere was simply fantastic.

Before the session started, he clearly explained everything about the massage, including the Watsu massage, which helped me feel more comfortable. Once the massage began, it felt like he guided me into a zone of complete relaxation — the kind of comfort I had been searching for. One of his strengths is knowing exactly how to treat each person individually, with full attention and no rushing at all.

Considering the quality of the entire experience, the prices were very reasonable — actually, even cheaper than expected for such a high level of care.

I’m so grateful for the experience. If anyone is visiting LA and looking to truly relax, I highly recommend booking a session with him.

This was an event unlike any I have ever had. I'm not in the habit of writing many reviews, but Brian is totally deserving of the highest praise. His space is secluded, tranquil, private, first-class and very professional. The watsu portion of the massage, which takes place in the saltwater plunge pool outside, is mind-altering. He guides you through every step, encouraging relaxation, meditation and breath. We then moved inside to the table where he gave an excellent deep tissue massage. I do physical work and was desperately in need of a masseur as good as Brian to help me repair some damage and straighten out the kinks. Lots of good stretching here as well; again, severely needed by me. Finally he concludes with a mesmerizing sound bath, carrying away your mind and senses. Truly a one-of-a-kind, five-star experience. Book - you WILL NOT be sorry!

Is there words to describe being in Paradise? Really hard to find. It was my seventh session with Brian. And like all previous times, it simply was breathtaking. Just to enter the most beautiful zen-garden makes me live the real world behind. And it seems, with every session I can relax more and let myself fall into Brian’s amazing arms. The “package” of the whirlpool session, then the most amazing massage ending with a sound therapy is by far the best I ever experienced. Thank you Brian.

From the moment the gate opened, I knew I had made the right choice to book a massage with Brian. He had a beautiful branch of sage burning in his hand and walked me back to his studio. The location is easy to find and you can park in the driveway. His space is tranquil and peaceful. It feels like a five-star spa. The time in the water was amazing and he did a guided meditation with me to allow me to relax and unwind. If you are unsure about booking the 90-minute treatment - you should 100% go for it.

He guides you around the spa, along the waterfall, and does gentle stretching. I could have been done then, I was so relaxed. The massage however was worth the wait. Again, he created a space that made my mind body, and soul feel loved and relaxed. He is amazing with his hands and uses oils that have a wonderful smell. It was a sunny day, so all the doors were open and there was a gentle breeze and the sounds of the wind chimes in the background.

At the end of the session, there was a sound bath - which I love. I left feeling like all my troubles were gone and my mind was at peace.

As you can tell, I highly recommend Brian as a therapist and all-around beautiful person. :)

Nirvana and Heaven on Earth paradise here in LA?? Brian is your Zen Healing God! I get a LOT of massages here - this was a beautiful and tranquil experience. Completely easy to text and chat on the phone with. Driveway parking in a beautiful neighborhood. Nicest friendliest guy. Ok, you get in his backyard and it truly is a sanctuary. CHOOSE the watsu hot tub therapy and if you can swing it a 90 min massage after. Worth every Penny! Brian has such a relaxing private backyard. The hot tub is actually like a plunge pool - biggest I have ever seen. He lets you soak in there - such warm water and hot jets. Perfect to relax you. He then joins you later - this is legit fellas - Google watsu. Imagine just literally floating and being held and almost like a baptism but not dunked. I’ve never done a sensory tank but it felt like that might feel. Truly floating. Warmth. Almost like being held by your mom as a baby. Legit, again, fellas. Beautiful and emotional and so relaxing. Give in and let him maneuver you - it is like cirque do soleil in the water. Then dry off and get on his super massage table, and a wonderful massage studio. Doors can open out for fresh air. We both opted for masks but i felt safe regardless. He’s got those muscular strong hands and arms and elbows that you just WANT in a therapist, but he also works from his heart and soul and he is so super relaxing gliding up and down. He focused on my back and leg pain but still made me feel amazing all over. Love his coconut oil and how it feels In my skin. Truly relaxed and zoned out and blissed and just felt so wonderful. Then a sound bath. Such varying different sounds that put me in an other worldly zone. Then a wonderful chat with my new Healer. He really is a Healer - comes by it naturally and peacefully and soulfully and very focused on it. He’s lived a lot of life and has learned from it all and had many amazing experiences. But in that moment he is there to serve and honor you. Truly therapeutic and legit and other worldly and wowww and ah-mazing. Can’t wait to go back. Much needed and rewarded in this crazy omicron time. Book with Brian today and get zen!
