About
My training at the National Holistic Institute in Studio City gave me a foundation in therapeutic bodywork that I've spent the last four years building on every single day. I graduated with both my ANMT certification and my A.A.S. degree, and that education taught me how to read the body — to understand the anatomy underneath the pain and know exactly where to work.
But here's what shaped me most: I'm an endurance athlete. I've run the New York City Marathon, the Los Angeles Marathon, and completed an Ironman at Vineman. That experience living in my own body, pushing it hard, recovering from it, learning what real soreness feels like — that's what I bring to my clients. When a runner comes in with tight legs after a long training run, or someone whose job demands constant physical strain, I get it. I've been there.
I work with neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, deep tissue techniques, and sports massage. I blend these together based on what your body needs that day. My approach starts with listening — I ask questions about your pain points, your movement limitations, your goals — and then I explain what I'm going to do and why. You'll feel firm, focused pressure on the areas that matter. I check in throughout the session because this work is a conversation between us.
I operate both in my Calabasas studio and as a mobile therapist serving Calabasas and the surrounding areas within a 10-mile radius. My studio has a heated table, private restroom, free parking, and a calm space designed so you can actually relax. Whether you come to me or I come to you, you get the same thorough, attentive care. I'm here to help you reduce pain, restore mobility, and get back to doing what you love — whether that's running, climbing, lifting, or just moving through your day without tension holding you back.
I maintain a professional, inclusive environment and proudly provide LGBTQ+ friendly services. Everyone who walks through my door deserves to feel respected and safe.

Testimonials
As a runner, I came to Ray to work out soreness and knots in my legs after my long runs. He started by asking me about my pain points and problem areas, then explained how we'd address them together. His attention to detail, consistent check-ins, and firm pressure made a big difference in my recovery. The massage was relaxing and I felt rejuvenated. I'd definitely recommend him.
I just had a neuromuscular massage with Ray and he did incredible work on my tight subscapula, traps, and neck, leaving me feeling light and relaxed. The standout was his psoas muscle work—Ray's expertise in releasing tension from this deep area was really transformative. If you want real relief and someone who truly knows their craft, Ray is the best choice. Highly recommend.
I've been seeing Ray regularly for nine months now, and his work has become essential to my overall wellbeing. What started as an incredible massage has proven to be consistent, therapeutic treatment that keeps my body balanced and resilient. Ray's deep body knowledge lets him tailor each session to my needs, whether releasing stubborn tension, restoring mobility, or bringing my nervous system back into balance. His skill with complex areas like the subscapula, traps, neck, and psoas has given me long-lasting relief I didn't think was possible. This is healing work that supports my health on every level. I leave each session lighter, stronger, and more aligned. If you want true care from someone who treats bodywork as a craft and a calling, Ray is absolutely the best.
Ray is exceptional. He gives the best massages I've experienced, and his understanding of the human body is remarkable. He doesn't just treat surface symptoms—he identifies the root cause of pain or tightness and knows exactly how to fix it. Every session leaves me feeling like a new person. My work as a professional organizer is physically demanding with constant lifting, moving, and stretching, and Ray's massages keep me functioning at my best. He's helped me prevent injuries, recover faster, and stay mobile and strong so I can do the work I love. Beyond his technical skill, Ray is attentive, intuitive, and professional. He listens, asks the right questions, and customizes each session to what I need that day. I always feel comfortable, cared for, and in the best hands. I recommend Ray to anyone seeking real relief, expert bodywork, or ongoing support to stay active and pain-free.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Ray's technical skill in identifying root causes of pain and his expertise in releasing tension from deep, difficult-to-treat muscles like the psoas and subscapula.
