About
Twenty years of working with clients' bodies has taught me something fundamental: connection, communication, and trust aren't extras—they're the foundation of real healing. I came to Phoenix after training at Sacred Lomi University in Hawaii, where I learned the flowing, restorative art of Lomi Lomi bodywork. That was followed by deeper study in holistic techniques at Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College in Scottsdale, and later Thai massage and stretching at the Swedish Institute in New York. Each school added layers to what I do, but it's the years of hands-on practice that truly shape how I work today.
I practice out-call only, which means I bring my table, my presence, and my full skill set directly to you—your home, your hotel, wherever you need me in the Phoenix metro area. I serve within about a 25-mile radius, and I'm available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every single day.
My approach draws from a wide range of modalities: deep tissue work for serious tension, myofascial release to free up restricted movement, sports massage for athletes and active clients, reflexology, lymphatic drainage, trigger point therapy, Swedish technique, and the meditative flow of Lomi Lomi. I also offer tandem massage—four hands working in harmony to deepen relaxation in ways a single therapist simply cannot match. I can layer in aromatherapy and carefully chosen music to enhance the whole experience.
What matters most to me is that you feel safe, welcome, and genuinely cared for. I don't discriminate by body type, age, or background. I'm especially proud to create a space where members of the LGBTQ community and all others know they will be treated with real respect and compassion. Before we begin, I listen carefully to what your body needs. Then I customize the session around those requests, so every massage is unique to you.
I work for the person who wants more than a quick transaction—someone who values professionalism, genuine skill, and the feeling of being truly heard. Let me put your mind at ease. You're in good hands.

Testimonials
I've worked with Jakob many times over the years, and there's a reason I keep coming back. He's not your typical quick-buck massage guy. He makes you feel valued and genuinely listens. He's a real, talented, educated, kind-hearted, and respectful therapist. Before each session, he asks about my trouble spots and concerns, then somehow crafts a completely unique session each time based on what I need. That takes genuine skill.
I just had the best massage experience with Jakob during his visit to Tucson. His smile put me at ease immediately. He's warm, welcoming, and accommodating. His technique flowed with intuition seamlessly. His touch was firm yet healing. As someone with chronic pain, he created a therapy session that focused exactly where I needed it. I've tried many therapists over the years and always left disappointed. Jakob is the complete package—skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable. I feel better than I have in years.
Jakob was genuinely professional and helpful during the pandemic. He explained he wasn't taking appointments based on CDC guidelines. I'd injured my neck the day before and was in real pain. Though he couldn't see me in person, we talked at length via phone and text about techniques to relieve my pain. I tried what he suggested and felt so much better by the next day. He's truly a lifesaver. I'm looking forward to booking with him once things return to normal.
I've loved Jakob's massages for years. On a recent visit I decided to try his four-hand tandem option and I'm so glad I did. Two professional therapists skilled in many bodywork styles. Several days later I'm still feeling the benefits of that wonderfully balanced four-handed session. Thank you both.
Jakob is the type of therapist with great intuition, a gentle yet strong touch, and incredible technical skill. He'll customize your session to meet your needs if you ask. Over the years I've gotten many massages from him and I can say without question he's one of the best practitioners I've ever experienced.
I just moved to Goodyear and was impressed by Jakob's profile and his credentials. He put me at ease immediately when I reached out, and booking was effortless. The massage itself was incredible. He truly understands his craft. The session had such a beautiful flow—it was breathtaking. I'm so grateful for his hands and his presence. I've already booked my next appointment.
Jakob's bodywork was exactly what I needed after a long travel conference. His neck work was outstanding—most therapists either skip this area or barely touch it. Jakob was intuitive throughout my whole massage. I'll definitely reach out when I'm back.
I made an appointment on short notice and Jakob could fit me in. He was very aware of my needs since I have a bad back and the massage went really well.
I'd been hunting for a reliable and trustworthy massage therapist locally for a while. That search ended when I found Jakob's profile. Setting up an appointment was simple. He's the real deal—professional, punctual, prepared, and a genuine licensed therapist who clearly knows his craft. After my session, I could feel my stress and muscle knots melting away. There was something spiritually uplifting about the experience. He's caring and sure of his work. I finally have a gifted, trusted therapist I can count on.
It was easy to book with Jakob. The massage was so good that I booked a four-handed session the next day. I'd totally recommend them.
Jakob is a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and the gift of your hands. You're an intuitive, knowledgeable, and skilled masseur. When he arrived, I was met with such kindness and positive energy. I felt safe right away, and he obviously loves what he does. His warmth and welcoming nature made me feel nurtured, loved, and protected throughout. I'd recommend Jakob 100 percent to anyone seeking bodywork.
First time trying an out-call massage. Jakob showed up on time with such a warm vibe. He made everything feel easy and comfortable. The massage was perfect and I'm very happy with how it all went. I'd definitely recommend Jakob and will have him back.
I had a great 90-minute massage from Jakob. He worked hard to get all the knots out—some I didn't even know I had. He let me have a real 90-minute escape and left me feeling so much better. I'd recommend him for a massage any time. It was also great to have a good talk with you. Thank you.
Jakob provides a wonderful massage. His skill and technique were great. He has a soothing way about him and fantastic energy. I can't wait to see him again when I'm back in Phoenix.
Jakob, I can't thank you enough. You made an enormous difference during my Phoenix stay. My back pain is gone thanks to you. You're a true master of bodywork. Your hands knew precisely where to work and what to do. The specialized massage you created for my needs was the strongest connection I've ever had with a therapist.
Great relaxing massage—couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend.
I emailed Jakob about his four-hand tandem bodywork and he replied fast, setting up an appointment the very next day. Both therapists are well trained with an intuitive touch. The session flowed beautifully between them, moving seamlessly and independently throughout. It was a perfect escape from the world for 90 minutes. Book now and you won't regret it. Thank you both.
Thank you so much, Jakob. After looking through many therapist profiles, I found yours with beautiful photos that really represent who you are. Your massage showed confidence, strength, and power in both your touch and your technique. You've completely resolved my lower back pain when nobody else could. Your understanding of skeletal and muscular anatomy is clear in your work. I'm grateful others will discover you and experience someone truly skilled.
Jakob offers the best mobile massage in Phoenix. He's a true professional, talented and trained. His technique and touch have purpose. He replied fast and professionally, which sets him apart from everyone else. He's genuine and down to earth. I'll definitely be booking again when I'm back in Phoenix. Thank you for your amazing hands.
Amazing. I'd never had a massage before, so it was all new. Jakob was wonderful at making me feel safe and helping me escape from a very stressful life. Many thanks.
I've been getting massages from Jakob for years, and I'll tell you why. He's responsive to what you ask for and very flexible. From the moment you meet him, you feel his trust and his warm welcome. He's great at talking but also knows when to let you slip into pure relaxation. After every session, I feel refreshed and sleep wonderfully. I highly recommend booking Jakob.
Jakob isn't just personable—he's genuinely a nice guy. His massage skills and techniques put him in the top one percent of therapists. He's a credit to his profession.
I reached out to Jakob and Nero for a four-hand massage. Booking was smooth and both were kind. They were respectful and skilled. They put me at ease right away and worked together harmoniously, moving in unison and independently as the session required. They used many different techniques and pressure points to bring me into complete bliss. These guys are trained professionals who treat you with real respect. Thank you.
Jakob's manner and professionalism put me at ease right away. I hadn't had much luck finding a genuine, professionally trained therapist in Phoenix until I met him. The moment the therapy started, I felt a spiritual connection. His hands are very intuitive and powerful. His years of training really come through in his work and his approach. Thank you, Jakob.
Jakob was warm and personal, even in his text replies. I felt at ease and comfortable right away. His massage technique was just what I needed after a busy week of work and travel. I'll call him again when I'm back in Arizona.
I reached out to Jakob for a mobile massage and he replied within minutes, getting me scheduled that same evening. Jakob is an actual licensed therapist. He explained what was happening with my body after all my travel. His touch and connection stayed constant throughout. He's very intuitive. He eased my tension and brought in many of his modalities. He was totally professional and I couldn't have asked for better. Don't hesitate to reach out.
I emailed Jakob at 9 a.m. and within the hour he was setting up his table at my place. I was blown away by how fast and easy it was. He's a true professional who clearly loves his craft. From the start I felt at ease. Even his music choice helped me drift into a peaceful state. His touch was strong and firm yet controlled and nurturing. Each movement had intention, relieving my tight, sore muscles. I was amazed at how relaxed and pain-free I felt afterward. This man truly knows what he's doing. I've already booked my next session.
Jakob and Billy were fantastic. This was my first four-hand massage and I wasn't let down. They worked together perfectly and hit all my tight spots. You could tell they care about their clients. They checked in with me several times to make sure I was doing okay. When they finished, I was so relaxed that I was glad I was at my hotel and didn't have to drive. Thanks again, guys.
I was in Phoenix on vacation and decided to book a massage with Jakob. He replied fast and got me in on my preferred date and time. He showed up right on time and set up the hotel room perfectly. The massage was excellent and so relaxing I nearly fell asleep. I'd definitely recommend Jakob for your next massage.
Never had a four-hand before, but after six weeks without a massage I figured I'd try it. Billy and Jacob were great—on time and professional. I had an injury that needed extra attention on my leg and they really focused there and spent time where I needed it. I wish I'd booked 90 minutes—it would've been worth it. Thanks guys, hope to see you soon.
Jakob replied to my massage request very quickly. When he arrived, he introduced himself politely. Like his profile says, he's kind, caring, and compassionate. The massage was very relaxing. He clearly knows what he's doing and I felt totally comfortable. The pressure was just right. I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing him again soon.
This was my best massage experience. Billie and Jakob are professional, attentive, and very charming. Totally worth it. I'd go again.
