About

✓ Hi ✓ I'm David. I am a certified massage therapist and personal trainer.

Massage College in Manhattan Beach taught me the anatomy that matters most: not just names on a chart, but how a human body responds when you understand it deeply. That training, combined with over eight years working full time with clients across Long Beach and beyond, has shaped how I approach every session.

I specialize in sports massage, deep tissue work, and trigger point therapy, often adding cupping to release tension that's been locked in for months. My background as a personal trainer means I understand how athletes and active people move, recover, and hurt. I also work with clients who simply carry stress in their shoulders, their lower back, their neck—and need someone who can find those spots without being told where to look.

Clients have told me my attention to detail and intuitive touch stand out. I listen to your body, not just your words. That combination of anatomical knowledge and hands-on sensitivity means you're in capable hands from the moment you lie down.

I'm proud to serve the LGBT community and welcome everyone. My studio in Long Beach offers a calm, tranquil space with soft lighting and good music. I also travel throughout the Long Beach area and surrounding regions—up to 50 miles—bringing the same quality work to your home or hotel.

The best way to reach me is by text. I'm often with a client when messages come in, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Testimonials

My schedule is unpredictable, and I was grateful that David could accommodate a last-minute booking and made me feel genuinely welcome. The massage itself featured warm hands, deep powerful strokes, and stretching—everything I look for in quality bodywork. His studio has wonderful energy, with soft music and palo santo scent. David brings real strength combined with an intuitive touch. Highly recommended.

As a former massage therapist myself, I'm extremely selective about who I trust with my body. David's session was among the best I've ever experienced. He truly understands anatomy and addressed every area that needed attention without me having to guide him. I felt fantastic afterward and have made him my go-to therapist. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
