About

Finishing the National Holistic Institute's East/West CORE Program in March 2025 gave me a framework, but what I've learned most comes from the bodies in front of me. I've been working with clients long enough to read what's tight, what's sore, what needs slow work versus deep pressure. That intuition—paired with real training—is where the magic happens.

I'm a bodyworker based in Los Angeles, and I work both in my studio and mobile throughout the area, serving Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods within a 10-mile radius. What I bring to a session is straightforward: strong hands, steady rhythm, and full-body attention. You come in tight—shoulders locked, lower back screaming, muscles in knots—and you leave unraveled.

I blend a range of techniques depending on what your body needs. Acupressure, trigger point work, deep tissue, myofascial release, shiatsu, Thai, reflexology, reiki, jin shin jyutsu, polarity therapy, aromatherapy, and lymphatic drainage are all in my toolkit. Some days you need slow, grounded work. Some days you need me to wake up a tight, sore body with deeper pressure. I listen—either you tell me what's bothering you, or I explore with intuitive attention and patient, intentional rhythm.

The space matters too. I create a vibe: nice music, candles, aromatherapy, a heated table, and a calm, private environment where you can actually relax and exhale. Whether you're in my Los Angeles studio or I'm coming to you, you're getting focused, connected touch and positive energy. That's the work.

Testimonials

David's massage was fantastic. His hands are powerful and trained, and he zeroed in on my tension spots with real skill and the right amount of pressure. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely knew how to release tight muscle tissue. I felt relaxed and restored afterward. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality work.

I had a session with David and his work was outstanding. His hands are strong and skilled, tackling my tight muscles with precision. I felt completely comfortable and at ease throughout. The pressure he applied was firm without ever crossing into uncomfortable territory. I walked out feeling relaxed and fully restored. Highly recommend.
