About
Thirty-three years of working with bodies has taught me what really works. I've spent over three decades learning how tension lives in the neck, shoulders, and lower back—and more importantly, how to release it. My time as a yoga teacher at London Central YMCA for 14 years, then at the prestigious Reebok Club in London for another decade, showed me that the body holds stress not just as muscle tightness but as energy. That's why I blend deep tissue massage with Reiki healing in every session.
I'm Raymond, and I work from my studio in Glendale, California, where I've developed my own techniques for dramatically improving mobility and range of motion—often in a single session. I'm a regular facilitator at the world-renowned Skyros Centre in Greece, and I bring that same level of care and intuition to my clients here in Southern California.
Your massage combines conscious breathwork, deep tissue work, and Reiki. If you're carrying stress, anxiety, or grief that isn't purely physical, I also offer standalone Reiki sessions to help with those non-physical issues. I can arrange four-handed massages with my colleague Taylor if you want even deeper work.
My background as a dancer means I understand how the body moves and where it gets stuck. I'm trained in Usui Reiki and completed my yoga diploma at Kevala Institute in Torquay, England. When you leave my studio, my goal is simple: you'll feel calm, restored, and ready to face the world with a smile.
I'm serving Glendale and surrounding areas with both in-studio and mobile massage appointments, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. When you first reach out, please send your name and a photo so I know who I'm working with—experience has taught me that this keeps things reliable and professional.

Testimonials
I had a great massage with Raymond. He was polite, professional, and put me at ease right away. The massage was easily the best I've had in a long time. His hands knew intuitively where my neck, shoulders, and lower back were holding tension, and he applied exactly the right amount of pressure to loosen everything up. Definitely coming back. A+++
Thanks again for yesterday's massage. This morning was the first time in five days that I woke up without pain. You give a great massage.
Raymond has an exceptional touch. He's thorough and his knowledge is clear. I'm very active despite having had surgery on both hamstrings, so my body needs careful attention. Raymond is the therapist I'd recommend to anyone. It's obvious he cares deeply about how you feel when you leave. I need to book another session soon.
I spent 18 years as a massage therapist (CMT) and Raymond is the guy I see when I need my knots and aches sorted. I've been to lots of other masseurs in LA, and Raymond's the only one I keep going back to. He's incredibly skilled. Strong healing hands, great intuitive touch, excellent music, beautiful clean space. I also love that when I book 90 minutes I actually get 90 minutes of massage, not 10 minutes of talking at the start and end where you lose half the time. Fantastic value and worth every penny. I always leave feeling fantastic.
That massage was fantastic. I felt great all week. You clearly know your craft. Can't wait to see you next time I'm in LA. The space was wonderful too—so peaceful.
I suffered from sciatica pain for two months before coming to Raymond. His combination of deep tissue massage with Reiki at the end helped me recover very quickly. It felt like getting two treatments for the price of one—I could feel that my pain was tied to both physical tension and stress. I'm really grateful for his gift in helping my body heal naturally and quickly without needing medication.
A massage with Raymond is a wonderful experience. His sense of how much pressure to use and which technique to apply is excellent. His studio is clean and welcoming. The table is comfortable. His music is perfect for the experience. And parking is easy. I highly recommend booking a session.
I book with Raymond every time I'm in Los Angeles. I've had excellent massages around the world, and Raymond is right up there with the very best. I always leave feeling fantastic, and if I lived in LA I'd be coming regularly. He's genuinely got magic hands.
I've been getting massages from Raymond for years whenever I need to manage stress or anxiety or give my body some care. I don't go as often as I should, and every time I return I wonder why I waited. He really does remind me how consistently good he is. He doesn't spend time chatting before starting, so I never feel like I'm losing time. I always get the full session I'm paying for and never feel rushed. Honestly, compared to what other masseurs charge for less satisfying work and less experienced hands, Raymond should be charging more. If you can swing it, book 90 minutes because 60 goes way too fast. His space is clean and welcoming with well-chosen music.
Thank you, Raymond. You worked hard and found every spot I needed worked on. I got to stay home and didn't have to go anywhere. I haven't felt this good in years—and I mean that literally. I'll definitely be back. Thanks again.
Thanks for yesterday's massage. I've had lots of massages in my life, and your skills are superior. I can't wait to come back for another excellent session. Your work was totally above and beyond what I expected, and I'm still feeling great the day after. You clearly know human anatomy well and you got rid of most of my knots. It was also great to come into a clean and calm space. Your studio is really nice.
Raymond is an excellent massage therapist with magic hands. He puts me at ease immediately and has a real gift for intuition. He's caring and goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable. I'd give him a 10/10 recommendation to anyone looking for a healing massage they'll actually enjoy.
Thanks for fitting me in on short notice for a late-night massage. You give an excellent massage. It went above and beyond what I was expecting.
I feel honored writing this for you. Thanks again for yet another great massage. Your hands move across my body like a dance, like you're doing well-executed choreography and know exactly what you're doing. You give the best massage I've ever had, which is why I keep coming back and referring people to you. I also appreciate that you give a consistent service but adjust your work to my specific needs each time.
Every time I'm in LA, I book with Raymond. I travel internationally and he's literally one of the best masseurs I've had in any country. Really excellent work. He's got great hands, he's professional and kind. His studio is calm and the music is perfect. I'd recommend booking 90 minutes because the time goes so quickly.
