Testimonials

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

Dec. 25, 2025 in Columbia, MD (in-studio)

Thank you again for the best massage I've had in years. You have amazing techniques. My back and glutes were really tight and your stretching really opened up my tight muscles. I was impressed with both your skills and strength. My lower back is now relaxed and I feel awesome. I would recommend you to anyone looking for real lower back relief and who wants to totally drift away during the massage. Thank you Alan. I will be back soon.

Frequent visitor to Washington DC. Alan was a logical choice. He has an amazing background in massage. 27 years experience. He came to my hotel room in Dupont Circle. He is a real professional. He setup his table in my suite and gave me the best massage I've ever had. His style is relaxing but firm. I was amazed at how strong his touch was. I had some real neck issues from the flight. He was able to use trigger points on my neck and upper back to open up my muscles. He mentioned his training in Thai Massage allows him to stretch and open up my joints in my shoulders, hips and lower back. I could feel my neck opening up and by the end I could do roll my shoulders and move my neck better than I have in a long time. My favorite move was when he was on the table and pushing my knees towards my chest. It was a little different than I'm used to but my lower back has never felt so good. He is professional, handsome and a skilled practitioner. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Washington DC area. His rates are reasonable. Thanks for the great bodywork. DC Traveler David.

Amazing Hands. Really Alan is a true professional. He came to my hotel in downtown Baltimore Inner Harbor with his massage table. He was 10 minutes early and head his table setup in the room in minutes. He gave me instructions to disrobe and he covered me his top sheet. His massage was strong and deep. I felt he really worked my shoulder muscles with tight grip and good pressure. Alan used his elbows down my back and gave really good pressure on my lower back. When he worked on my glutes, I felt like muscle pain from years was wiped away. I think the massage was the best I've ever had. He is like muscle guru. I enjoyed the connective strokes. He even got on the table, using strong pressure as his hands went from my ankles to my legs, glutes, lower back and shoulders. Somehow he manages to get on the table and off with great dexterity while attentively getting deep into my muscles. Then when I turned over, his attention to my chest, abdomen and shoulders was strong and powerful too. He moved my arms behind me and stretched my upper body. I felt the whole table slide because he is strong. I will definitely hire him again. He was prompt, dressed professionally with a staff shirt yoga pants with a yin yang logo. I really liked his techniques and he is a charming skilled massage therapist. Thanks again. Alan. I will see you again soon.

The massage was the best I've ever had. I am a personal trainer and I was looking for someone who could really get into my muscles and really work out the kinks. Alan is a talented massage therapist. I'm impressed with his skills and stretching techniques. I'm familiar with massage as I recommend therapists all the time to my clients for muscle pain and relaxation. By far, Alan proves to be amazing at relieving pain, stretching my legs and giving me great relief in my lower back. If you have to try one therapist, Alan is the man. His office in Silver Spring is right across from the metro and he has parking as well. Alan will give your body the best workout and I even called to thank him because he was able to unlock my traps and his work on my glutes was the best. Not every therapist work that area.

Love the new location. Without a doubt the best massage I've ever had. You are a very strong masseur with great techniques. I was looking for someone new. Washington DC can be difficult to find parking and your place had a spot right in front of your home. You were personal and professional. I've never had such attention paid to my lower back, glutes and legs. My back hasn't felt this good in years. You are now my go to masseur. I hope to see you again soon. Thanks.

OMG. Alan, you're massage was incredible. Thank you for doing those stretches. My back hasn't felt this good in years. This was my first time visiting and you really have strong amazing touch. Its rare to find someone who can do a professional massage which is both relaxing, therapeutic and makes me feel like all my aches and pains are gone. I specifically loved your leg stretches, bringing my knee to my chest and working my adductor muscles. I'm a teacher and my legs are often tight from standing all day. I highly recommend Alan. He offers the best massage I've ever received. Next I'll recommend my partner visit him at his studio in Columbia. Thanks for being available last minute.

Wow. That was an incredible massage experience. Alan was prompt, brought his table and set up his massage table in my hotel room. He gave me the best massage I've ever experienced. I travel often and I need someone to really work on my neck and lower back and glutes. After 90 minutes of powerful deep tissue pressure all over my body, Alan showed me some great stretches that can be done in front of the mirror for my neck muscles. It is really incredible how much relief these stretches gave me after a real strong powerful deep tissue massage. Thanks again. I will be sure to call you next time.

Thanks Alan, that was the most amazing massage session. You have an incredible touch. You came on short notice to my suite at the Marriott. I like that you are professional and have strong hands. You really know what you're doing. I'm on my feet all day and my hamstrings were really tight. You opened up my legs and helped my lower back. I really like your connective style. The long strokes from my feet all across my body was amazing. I will definitely call you when I'm back in town. Thanks again.

Thank you Alan. I have had some serious backpain since my car accident. You took extra time during your massage and bodywork session to really focus on my shoulders and my lower back. The stretches you did and your advice on how to do this at home is incredibly helpful. I really appreciate your professionalism. Most therapists don't have medical school training or knowledge. I think that you are awesome. Have a great day!
