Best massage in a long time!
I had just ran Bay to Breakers here in SF, and post race plus some stress had my muscles worked up. After explaining to Brian where I felt the most pain, he assured me he’d focus on those areas and boy did he! Brian applied the perfect pressure with a variety of techniques that really helped my muscles relax. I know I had some big knots and his attention to them was greatly appreciated. His space was inviting, clean, and extremely relaxing. I can’t wait to go back.

I just visited Brian again and, like after ever visit, I walked away lighter, more flexible and free of aches and pains. Brian takes his work seriously and uses his knowledge to address any concern. He always attends to whatever I point out and usually also finds a few tense spots that I didn't know about. I think it is rare to find a massage therapist who will work so hard for your health and well-being.

One of the best massages of my life and I’ve had plenty. He definitely knew exactly the spots. The pressure was fantastic. I left in total bliss will definitely be booking a reoccurring monthly appointment.
Thank you,

Brian is a lovely, warm and caring person and a compassionate professional with expert massage skills. I had a completely relaxing experience. I've had a tough time with side effects from recent surgery. My sessions with Brian were exactly what I needed to accelerate my recovery.
Many thanks,

I had an awesome massage experience with Brian!! His location was convenient for me, and the ambiance of the studio and comfort of the table were amazing! He is highly skilled and confident and thoroughly worked every area of my body, checking in periodically to make sure the pressure was perfect. He's very easy to talk to and although he looks great in his photos he's even better looking in person! I regret that I didn't schedule a 90 minute massage, but definitely will next time.
Thank you,
Lee

We been feeling great since we started receiving massages from you. I am able do strong workouts, no nerve pinch, and most importantly enjoying the freedom to move without hesitation.
Both of us feel like you have next level healing intuition, and unmatched knowledge and skills. No BS, you are the best practitioner we have ever worked with.
Thank you so much! We feel great!

Prior to my massage today, I was feeling the draining effects of several rescent, stress-filled days. I needed this massage and had been looking forward to it for a week. Though it wasn't fair to place so many expectations on Brian, he exceeded them all. Spending 90 minutes with him was exactly what I needed. Within minutes, I knew intuitively that I could trust him and my body started easing into a gradually more relaxed state. I left completely refreshed and ready to resume the "rat race." Brian's space is both professional and inviting, and his technique, especially on my shoulders and lats, was extraordinary. Trust me when I say that I've had a wide variety of massage experiences and I give Brian my highest recommendation.
Thank you,
Jay

My experience with Brian was stellar. I went to him with a pinched radial nerve and cervical compression. was in pain and very reticent about anyone touching my neck; but it had gotten to the point where I couldn't turn my head or even sleep because of the pain. Brain listened attentively to my description and said that he thought he could help. He was gentle around the neck, but also incorporated traction, which not even PT had done. At the end of two hours, I had 180 degree movement of my head, no pain, no more numbness-and that night I slept soundly. Now, two months later, none of my symptoms have returned.
The rest of the massage was just as impressive and enjoyable. Brian is a Master of his craft. I wish only that Ilived nearer so that I be a regular beneficiary of his skills.
