Testimonials

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

March 15, 2024 in New York, NY (in-studio)

Scooter provided a thorough, relaxing therapeutic massage — honestly amazing. I had just completed a sporting event and was sore all over. He anddressed, angain thoroughly and with a kind of magic touch, every part of my body that needed attention. He seems to possess an intuition that I’ve never experienced before, and I get a lot of massages. Like he knew exactly where to go and what to treat. Very professional, but also relatable and kind. You feel safe upon entering his space, and he really listens and responds when you communicate your needs. An all-around beautiful experience. When I return to NYC I am heading straight for Scooter’s table.

I’ve never experienced such a delightful massage. You are an extremely attentive, truly gifted masseur. I will be coming back again and again. Thank you.

This is not an exaggeration: best massage I have ever had.

I honestly think he charges too little for what you get. Scooter’s touch is strong, deep and caring. It was almost like I was held in blissful suspension for the duration of the massage. Scooter is also easy to talk to — if you’d like to talk — and makes you feel completely comfortable from the get-go. But also as he makes clear, you can choose to completely disconnect, even fall asleep. He’s smart, too, so you feel safe, hard to explain.

I left his studio feeling physically lighter.

Oh also — the music was perfect. Nothing new agey or nature-soundy. And! He is not a clock-watcher. Toward the end of the session he wasn’t quite finished and asked if it was ok if we went a bit longer (no extra charge!), said something like being thorough is what’s important, not time.

I will be returning for sure.

This guy is the best bodywork guy I’ve ever been to. Like I said to him on the last visit, they don’t make them like him anymore. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind my adding what I said next. You go to these young guys and they might be beautiful but for some reason their massage doesn’t convey the intuitiveness, the confidence, the caring that Scooter’s does. He gives himself to the work completely. He goes deep and also makes you feel safe. He’s kind and easy to talk to. And smart. Go for it.

That was the best massage I’ve ever had. You definitely have a new repeat client. Thanks man. Feel like a million bucks. Amazing.

Scooter is the most professional, attentive massage therapist I’ve ever been to. He goes deep, and doesn’t miss a knot! He is easy to talk to, smart, kind, and respectful. I’m not hiring anyone else as long as he is in NYC. HIRE HIM!!!

Jan. 26, 2020 in New York, NY (in-studio)

This might have been the most thorough and deep massage I've ever had. Reached places I've never had worked, stretched, went dep. I really recommend this man, whether you have someone already or not, give him a try.
